A Dictionary of Law
A person actually engaged inthe “science of agriculture” ( within the meaning of a statute giving him special exemptions) is one who derives the aupport of himself and his family, in whole or in garden, although if may be much less than a farm, If the area cultivated can be called a field, it is agriculture, as well in contemplation of law as in the etymology of the word. And if this condition be fulfilled, the uniting of any other business, not inconsistent with the pursuit of agriculture, does not take away the protection of the statute.
