Description
Excerpt from Farming for Ladies: Or, a Guide to the Poultry-Yard, the Dairy and Piggery
Occupation is the most solid basis of real happiness, and the enjoyments of life - even if accompanied with all the means of luxury -are insipid without it. In married life, the husband, if he be not a man of inde pendence, has importunate cares to occupy him in his trade or profession; but the domestic duties are exclusively confined to the wife, and if she counts among the num her an attention to a little rural economy, she will find it not only add largely to the comforts of her family, but derive from it also a source of pleasure to herself, of which no town-lady can form an idea.
