What is Farm life in central Ohio sixty years ago about?
In this small book, the author’s purpose was to help readers appreciate how life on a farm had progressed in the latter part of the 19th century with this portrayal of life on a typical central Ohio farm about 60 years before. The concluding chapter, entitled “Boys and Girls on the Farm; How to Keep them There” shows the author’s main concern. This is aimed at farm parents, and begins by pointing out how frequently farm children become dissatisfied with rural life and leave for the city at the first opportunity. He goes on to give advice as to how to improve the lives of their farm children and motivate them to stay in agriculture.
