Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 15: February, 1911In thinking of the Mt. Vernon days, we ought also to re member, in addition to the happiness with his wife, that Wash ington was a progressive farmer and a. Very kind master. After the Revolution, he wrote to a friend, the more I am acquainted with agricultural affairs the better pleased I am with them. It was Washington's pride to improve Mt. Vernon. By purchase of surrounding lands, he greatly in creased the size of the estate; he enlarged the house and grounds; he managed his enormous farm admirably; he tilled it according to the then improved methods, introducing rota tion of crops, and emphasizing the value of fertilization; he had his own blacksmiths, wood-burners, carpenters, brick makers, weavers, and fishers. He read all the books on agri culture he could find, even sending to England for them, and to his careful study of these and to his application of the principles laid down in them his success as a farmer may be largely attributed. Another thing contributing to his success as a farmer was his kind treatment of his slaves, who were willing, as a rule, to do anything he wished them to.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
