Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Granite Monthly, Vol. 33: A New Hampshire Magazine, Devoted to History, Biography, Literature, and State Progress A prosperous agriculture, presupposing an intelligent and progressive rural population, is the sure basis of national prosperity and progress. Whoever labors most effectively to promote the welfare of those engaged in agricultural pursuits, by quickening their intelligence, stimulating their ambition, inducing the adoption of improved methods, strengthening their love for their calling, and at the same time increasing the measure of their self-respect, contributes most to the welfare of the nation at large. New Hampshire has long been reckoned as a manufacturing rather than an agricultural state, though by every census until the last the returns have shown more capital invested and more men employed in agriculture than in all lines of manufacturing within the state, and even from the last census it appears that the value of the agricultural products of the state was greater then than in any previous census year. In any event, however, unless agriculture is fostered, encouraged, and sustained there can be no general prosperity for the state itself. From the New Hampshire farms have come the men and the women, in the years gone by, who have been foremost in every line of activity and effort, not only in the state but in the country at large, and upon these same farms, in future years, must be reared not only those who are to maintain and improve our New Hampshire agriculture, but those, also, who are to infuse new life and energy into the work of other callings, and into manifold enterprises in every direction. The man, therefore, who from love of the cause itself, and an earnest desire to advance its interests, knowing that the welfare of the state is dependent thereon, devotes his energy and effort, zealously and unreservedly, to the improvement of New Hampshire agriculture, becomes in the highest measure a public benefactor and is entitled to the respect and esteem of his fellow-citizens of all occupations and callings. Such a man is the subject of this sketch, Nahum J. Bachelder, a native and citizen of the town of Andover, born September 3, 1854, on the old Bachelder homestead on "Taunton Hill," in the east part of the town, known in later years as "Highland Farm."
