Talk to Farmers Wintering to Elevate Agriculture and Minds
A 1870s rural essay urges farmers especially the young to work, read, and improve their minds during winter. It extols intelligence alongside hard labor, cites a farmer who read after chores, and warns against urban allure. It advocates agricultural societies, Jefferson’s view of farmers, and the value of educated, thoughtful farmers for public life and independence.
