What reading level is The American Farmer. a Complete Agricultural Library, With Useful Facts for the Household, Devoted to Farming in All Its Departments And Details book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The following method of harvesting turnips is given by a leading farmer in the State of New York: — " The one thing that makes labor in the root-field so unpalatable to Americans is the con- stant stooping that it nearly always involves. I obviate this almost entirely in harvesting by using the hoe, ground sharp. With this in your hands, begin at the outside row, and as you follow it down, cut the top clean from each turnip with the blade, striking right or left, as is most convenient. The impe...tus given to the top will carry it about half way to the adjoining row. Returning in this, you strike in the same direction, and so proceed. After a few minutes practice, two or three tops may be cut with one blow, and almost any one can "top" as fast as he ordinarily walks. After the field has been thus "topped," it will present this appearance: Two rows of turnips will alternate with each row of tops. In pulling the roots, strike the blade of the hoe back of the turnip, and with a quick jerk, pull it toward the adjoining row, pulled or unpulled.
