Smoke Houses and Boy Farming on Idlewild
A rural essay traces a quirky smoke house built of odds and ends, then shifts to a broader argument for outdoor boy labor on farms. It argues for fair wages, education, and farming as a respectable path, urging farm schools but favoring on-site training with clear rights and reciprocal duties between boys and masters.
