Adventures in Contentment - Tapa blanda

1906. From the Introduction. I have been eight years a farmer...I am conscious that I can offer few of the practical hints which are distributed like coins at the meetings of the grange, nor have I the genius to write a poem, nor the orthodoxy to preach a sermon. I can offer merely the more or less fragmentary writing of a man's life as it has been lived with satisfaction for eight years. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

I came here eight years ago as the renter of this farm, of which soon afterward I became the owner. The time before that I like to forget. The chief impression it left, upon my memory, now happily growing indistinct, is of being hurried faster than I could well travel.
