What reading level is A Brief Compend of American Agriculture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If to be rotted in spring or river water, artificial pools or vats must be formed for this purpose, and should not be over three feet deep, otherwise the hemp is lia- ble to an unequal rot. It will require plank placed upon it weighted down with timbers or stones, in order to keep it well under water. Mr. Myerle recommends vats 40 feet long. 20 feet wide, and 2 feet deep, as best and the most conven- ient for the season, that the hemp is kept cleaner while rot- ting, and the hands can lay it do...wn in the vats and take it out without getting wet, which is very important to the health of the laborer. These vats also greatly facilitate the operation, and can be fed with water and have it run off at pleasure, without endangering loss from the hemp. Water rotting in streams, requires a longer or shorter period, according to the season. In September, when the water is warm, ten days is generally sufficient ; in October, about fifteen, and in De- cember, thirty days or more. For the latitude of Kentucky, October and November are considered the best months for the operation, and perhaps is easiest done, gives more lint, and upon the whole, as good a sample as if deferred later.
