Foreword
WITH painful recollections of the many occasions on which the author has remembered things to be done just too late to do them, this book has been written with an intent to help others in doing the right things at the right time. Duties crowd so hard in the country, especially in Spring and Summer, that many of them are inevitably overlooked, unless one has a working memorandum at his elbow. This volume is designed as a ready-made memorandum book for ready reference each month of the twelve. Yet it is more than merely a monthly reminder, for detailed and, let us trust, accurate directions for carrying out the more important operations, are given. It is not claimed that the author has actually participated in all the activities described, for they cover a very wide range; yet much of the book is based on personal experience and the best authorities have been drawn upon for the rest, with due allowance for geographical and climatic conditions. Now, therefore, the book is sent on its way in the sincere hope that it will prove a reliable guide post to those who tread the pleasant paths of country living, and in the belief
that, at least, it will not lead anyone astray.
