The Joys of Living

Excerpt from The Joys of Living <p>An old farmer was once asked at a meeting of the Agricultural Congress to give his Opin ion on the best slope of land for the raising of a particular kind of fruit. It does not make so much difference, said the old man, about the slope of the land as the slope of the man. Mahy a farmer who has the right slope makes a good living and gets a competence on very poor soil, while the farmer who does not slope the right way barely exists upon the richest soil. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
