III. Blank-filling Items # 24-27 Answer Box 
(A) to take the world on my shoulders 
(B) if I could only afford to let it alone 
(C) and separated from the highway by a broad field 
(D) but above all, the recollection I had of it from my earliest voyages up the river  The real attractions of the farm, to me, were: its complete retirement, being, abouttwo miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, 24 ;its bounding on the river, which the owner said protected it by its fogs from frosts inthe spring, though that was nothing to me; the gray color and ruinous state of thehouse and barn, and the dilapidated fences, which put such an interval between meand the last occupant; the hollow and lichen-covered apple trees, gnawed by rabbits,showing what kind of neighbors I should have; 25 , when the house wasconcealed behind a dense grove of red maples, through which I heard the house-dogbark. I was in haste to buy it, before the proprietor finished getting out some rocks,cutting down the hollow apple trees, and grubbing up some young birches which hadsprung up in the pasture, or, in short, had made any more of his improvements. Toenjoy these advantages I was ready to carry it on; like Atlas, 26 -- Inever heard what compensation he received for that -- and do all those things whichhad no other motive or excuse but that I might pay for it and be unmolested in mypossession of it; for I knew all the while that it would yield the most abundant crop ofthe kind I wanted, 27 . But it turned out as I have said. All that I couldsay, then, with respect to farming on a large scale -- I have always cultivated a garden-- was, that I had had my seeds ready. Many think that seeds improve with age. I haveno doubt that time discriminates between the good and the bad; and when at last Ishall plant, I shall be less likely to be disappointed. But I would say to my fellows.Once for all, as long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but littledifference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail.
