Excerpt from How to Enjoy the Countryside
A true guide to the enjoyment of the countryside will presently lead the way to a farmyard, always a place of high attraction to the student of all things rural, and especially to the observer of wild life. The domestic creatures are a lure to their wild brethren. In winter, the stackyard gives shelter and food to a multitude, and sparrow-hawks come swooping on the hungry bands of finches. Every night may come a fox, with admirable perseverance seeking the chance, which will surely come to him one night, of taking fowl or duck. The farmyard has its seven ages in a year much like those of a man's life and the last age is likely to be such a tragi-comedy as to make a visitor both weep and laugh.
