Description

"Mr. Horace Greeley, so well known in the political arena, comes forward in this treatise on farming as a practical teacher of agriculture on a modest scale and in an unpretentious manner, advising the beginner on general principles and points of experience rather than on scientific doctrines or details of husbandry." -Saturday Review "Entitles him to the rank of author in American literature." -Arthur's Home Magazine "This book, about which we have heard so much, is published at last. Horace Greeley is probably the best ridiculed man in the country in regard to his knowledge of agriculture; but, while he confesses to but a meager knowledge of that science, he yet says many sound and practical things in relation to the subject. The moral of the whole book may be safely set down as this: That any man who is content to put his best efforts, means, time, and thoughts upon his farm, and is not in too great haste to get rich, is ultimately sure of success." -Godey's Magazine "Bids fair to be one of the great publishing successes this year." -Literary Bulletin "Horace Greeley bought a farm outside of New York during his late years made his home there. This farm he endeavored to manage scientifically. He published a book entitled 'What I Know of Farming.' The book and his farm operations were often laughed at; but the book was widely read and had a large influence among the rural population of the whole North. And what was still more important, Mr. Greeley made the Weekly Tribune, which had a large circulation among farmers, a constant medium through which to convey valuable information regarding improved methods of farming. When the Tribune began its worth there were i the United States no agricultural colleges. If we were to single out the man who could most truthfully be called the father of the agricultural colleges of this country, probably it would be Horace Greeley." -Unity "The venerable sage of the New York Tribune, who has, according to some of his admirers, a good chance of occupying the Presidential Chair after the next election, published last year a series of fifty-two weekly essays, which have since been published in book-form under the above title....There is throughout the volume a sound substratum of common sense, which makes all he writes well worth the farmer's while to read." -The New Dominion Monthly
