The above lines were written while
recovering from an injury received while
trying to thread ths tale Of one Of these
little creatures through . split stick In
the fall Of 75. Though the writer wal
racked with pain. the poem seems tc
breathe spirit OF forgiveness and un-
tutored poesy and trust and passion, n
well as the massive poetic feet which
characterise some Of the earlier works ID

pair Of vzriegated steers, which the artist
has kindly agreed to illustrate. They
are having sitting now as write.
These dooile creatures arc entirely un
der my control. and though much large,

to my viii. and my admirers need moi
fear that anything will happen to me
that would deprive them of me, for
often enter their cage and fool with then
by the hour. at times inserting my head
in their extended jaws as far as it viii
go and then rudely removing it. Theil
names are Brin and Bolly.
Crops here are not above the average
this year Rabbits are eating many oi
my vegetables, and that, together with q
prolonged visit from the artist who i.
sketching my steers, win make times
pretty hard here during the winter.
Hay is rather q light crop hero every
year. and grass Of all kinds does poorly
Very few lawns of any merit are seen il

of tho soil and Its tendency to wash inte
neighboring state.

bonedust of inferior people.

very well indeed.
Flowing for winter grains is now 90

more erect farms. Rye Win be sown IL
large quantities hero next year. A Nortl
Carolina farm looks best with vegetable
at the base. then grain of some kind, ant
then at the top border of peavine'
running around the upper edge of th'
farm, together with molding of som,
kind to hang pictures on. Some of thes'
farms look well when draped with some
thing pretty. and on cold nights hang

farm, or sometimes q Rice curtain, Il
