Dedication
To my friend, 8S. H. Exxis, who is not only a successful farmer, but whose words and influence have stimulated thousands of farmers in their efforts to achieve true success, this book is respectfully dedicated.
PUBLISHER’S PREFACE.
It has given me pleasure*to be ahle to present this book to the Agriculturists of this country. I have seen the great need of some practical book suited to practical farmers in our central and western states.
Introduction
For nine years I have been constantly before the public as a writer, having in that time written more than a thousand articles for the Agricultural Press. The Kind reception which has been given to these articles, whether appearing over my own name or any, of those with which I have at times concealed my identity, such as “Waldo,” “Odlaw,” “ Agricola,” “Solomon Smith,” “Squire Bung,” &c., has led me to believe that some of my thoughts and experiences, in more systematic order and in a form better suited for preservation, would be welcomed by many.
During seven years past I have been much in the field as an agricultural lecturer at fairs and farmers’ picnics, and have been gratified by learning from many of those I met, that my articles have often proved helpful to them in overcoming the difliculties that beset the farmers and aiding them to greater success in the management of their farms. All my mature life having been spent upon the farm, and believing as I do that the life of a farmer gives full scope for the best powers of the best men, I have no higher ambition and ask no greater reward, than to be able to help my co-laborers to attain “Success in Farming.”
