Excerpt from Our Farming: Or How We Have Made a Run-Down Farm Bring Both Profit and Pleasure At the second reading I say to myself, Now everything in this article is strictly true, but is there anything that will be mislead ing? Is part of the truth unconsciously withheld, or will anyone be likely to draw a wrong conclusion? Is every point so simple and plain that there will be no excuse for the ordinary reader if he does not fully understand At this reading a pencil goes through any long or unusual words if there is a simpler one that will do as well. By this time the manuscript is often so much corrected that I rewrite it all, or perhaps some pages. For years I rewrote every article that went from my desk. Now do you think I am done? No. After all this the article goes to my wife, if I am at home, and she reads it and tells me if there is any point that is not perfectly plain to her, or anything she thinks had better be left out. To her excellent judgment I owe much. Every chapter of this book will go through this entire process, and we hope will be so revised that only good and no harm may be done.
