Excerpt from On Farm Lands

The few words I have submitted to the public, under the head of "Farm Buildings," having been favorably received by many into whose hands it has fallen, I am induced to further the attempt of stimulating the landlords to the improvement of their homesteads, by extending the subject, and drawing their attention to the good results to be expected by so arranging and disposing of their farm lands, as to make them much more productive, both of pleasure to the eye, and of profit to the pocket. Perhaps I am rash thus early to mention the word profit, as connected with English agriculture, and may imagine a slight curl on the lip of one of my farming friends, followed, not unlikely, by a sudden increase of flame in the fire near to which he may be sitting. Well, however this may be, to whatever fate the legislature may doom the broad acres, don't let us give way, rather let it be met, if not with harness on our backs, at least with the plough in our hands, and our hearts in the right places.
