Explore "What Smith Knew about Farming" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There wasn't two purtier farms in the state / Than the couple of which I'm about to relate; -- / Jinin' each other -- belongin' to Brown, / And jest at the edge of a flourishin' town.
Brown was a man, as I understand, / That allus had handled a good 'eal o' land, / And was sharp as a tack in drivin' a trade -- / For that's the way most of his money was made.
