• Excerpt from How to Make a Country Place: An Account of the Successes and the Mistakes of an Amateur in Thirty-Five Years of Farming, Building, and Development. Together With a Practical Plan for Securing a Home and an Independent Income, Starting With Small CapitalAn endeavor has been made to give concrete information in compact, easily handled form, needed by the layman, and to lead the reader from shack to mansion, through the intermediates of plat form tented camp, bungalow, ordinary country house and elaborate villa. Even many of the features used in Pinnacle, the House Ideal, can be adapted to and made serviceable in less expensive houses.The thousand and more original photographs include country living in many of its phases, different stages of building, and emphasize improvement in the year by year growth of tree and shrub.A treatise on the making Of a real country place must be inclu sive. One member of a family may be interested in the building of a bungalow, another desires an elaborate villa and a knowledge of the construction of both. A third turns only to the pages that treat Of the two mile arboretum strip of trees, shrubs, and flowers, while a fourth loves dogs, horses, and cattle, and another's realm of happiness is represented by birds and butterflies. The girls' and boys' Nirvana ranges from a real planned and pictured playhouse to pets chipmunks and turtles. lambs and Shetlands - and from tobogganing and snow house building to stunts in boating and bathing, while the family as a whole are interested in a safe and sane plan to gain a competence.The question asked by many seekers after country life, Can I make my little farm pay, or what proportion of the expense will it carry, is answered from experience, and a way is shown for the City clerk with a comparatively modest income to become independent within ten years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
