...Advocate--A literary magazine that operates out of a charming little building near Kirkland House, this is one of the oldest continuous publications around. Lots of self-proclaimed artsy-intellectual types who wouldn't be caught dead without their New Yorker.

Taken together, they sketch the education of a greenhorn who was "once a New Yorker, now a peasant" in the rigors of owning and running his own farm. Perrin recalls the winter morning he awoke to find the temperature outside-26°F., his house at 37° and falling, his oil tank empty. He recounts his early, inept attempts to fence off land from deer, other predators...
