Gazing into the misty mirror of the past, I have endeavoured, in these sketches, in some measure to pay the debt of gratitude I owe the Goddess of Fortune for starting me off on life's journey amid such surroundings. I hold to the belief that one born and raised in the country - it may be in a log cabin and on a bush farm - has a distinct advantage over those unfortunates who, from infancy, have been doomed to artificial ways - city pavements - and so missed the delights of woodland places, hawthorn lanes and the innumerable joys that pertain to rural life. Canada still has vast stretches of forest and plain invitingly awaiting the coming of the homemakers. And those dear, if homely and natural, pleasures that I have essayed to recall in these "Old Days on the Farm" chapters, are still, in a degree, to be found and enjoyed by those who may adventure in the field of pioneer agriculture.
