What reading level is Rural Life Described And Illustrated in the Management of Horses Dogs Cattle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In some of the marshy plains of Calabria, communication would be almost impracticable were it not for the buffalo. There are not only morasses, swamps, and bogs in every direction, but rivers, suddenly swollen to tor- rents in rainy weather, and unprovided with bridges of any sort, frequently occur. Here horses, mules, or oxen are useless ; but a pair of good buffaloes, working chest-deep in the mud, will, slowly indeed, but surely, drag a large carro, with its goods or passengers, through them.... Yoked to a high cart, with wheels of prodigious diameter, they will fearlessly take to the swollen torrent, and, provided the water does not entirely cover them, drag it safely to the opposite bank. On the great plain of Apulia the buffalo is the ordinary beast of draught ; and, at the annual fair, held at Foggia at the end of May, immense droves of almost wild buffaloes are brought to the town for sale. Fearful accidents occasionally happen, enraged animals breaking from the dense mass in spite of all the exertions of the buffalari, and rushing upon some object of their vengeance, whom they strike down and trample to death.
