independent and hard-working. In the eighteenth century
farmers were quite self-sufficient. The farm family grew

would be sold to buy a few items in the local general store.

moved to the city, yet eighty percent of the American

they had been in the old days. The farmer aroused at【M5】______
dawn or before and had much work to do, with his own
muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes,【M6】______
spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking【M7】______
was done in wood-burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp
was the only improvement on the candle. The family’s
recreation and social life chiefly consisted a drive in the【M8】______
wagon to the nearby small town or village to transact some
business as well as to chat with neighbors who had also come to
town. The children attended a small elementary
school(often of just one room)to that they had to wal【M9】______
every day, possibly for a few miles. The school term was
