What reading level is Memories of the Old Homestead book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During my boyhood days and while I remained on the farm, the raking was done with an old- fashioned revolving wooden rake. It answered the purpose very well, and was better for the meadows than the wire-tooth rake, and with it and a smart walking horse a man or quite a small 76 OLD HOMESTEAD boy could shove an acre of hay into windrows in a very short time. Then he could turn and go lengthwise of the windrows and bunch it in great heaps for pitching, which we called '' tumbling. " In the early ...days of farming, when the meadows were rougher and before the invention of any kind of horse-rake, the raking was all done with the old hand-rake of the same pattern as that used by Maud MuUer when she learned ''the saddest words of tongue or pen. " When the ha}' was raked together the team with the hay-rack followed — one man, and sometimes two, to pitch on, and one on the load. The scatterings left by the pitcher or dropped from the load were secured by the man or boy who raked after, throwing what was thus gathered up in front of the p)itcher, or throwing it on the load with the rake.
