Agriculture, Independence, and Hardening the Body
A Western Presbyterian Herald essay extols farming as mankind’s first and noblest vocation. It praises agricultural knowledge, independence, and healthful living, then outlines rules to harden the body including cool food and rooms, minimal hot clothing, and modest work in open air. It condemns whisky and tobacco as harmful, urging avoidance and caution to the young.
