Excerpt from The Tim Bunker Papers: Or Yankee Farming

These papers, begun in the interest of improved hus bandry, without much method, and without any anticipa tion of their subsequent popularity, have been continued through twelve volumes of the American Agriculturist, in deference to the wishes of the senior editor and his numer ous readers, rather than to the judgment of the writer. For the same reason they are gathered in the more con venient form of this little volume, in the hope that they may be still further useful. They are a humble attempt to represent the average wisdom of the Connecticut farmer, and the steady progress which this class is making in rural improvement and in the comforts and moralities of social life. The incidents herein recorded are fictitious in form rather than in fact, for they are the results of personal experience and observation, and are meant to represent the true drift of farm life inthe land of Steady Habits. The teachings are believed to be in harmony with the best authorities in Agriculture and Horticulture, and with the earnest desire that they may cheer the workers upon the farm everywhere, and incite them to the best methods of husbandry and the noblest aims in living, they are sub mitted to the public.
