We are but farmers of ourselves : yet may 

 If we can stock ourselves and thrive, uplay 

 Much, much good treasure for the great rent day. 



— Mr. Domic. 



And finally, with some instruction and not a little amusement of a quiet 

 sort, I have farmed with the plow of a perennial admiration, and inquisitive- 

 ness, all that world, both of men and of nature, which lies so pleasantly around 

 me. By using my farm not as an end, but as a tool, I have cultivated with 

 diligence all the greater fields of life which I have been able to reach. — David 

 Grayson.
