colonel had the general supervision
of the whole Mrs Smith had control
of the dairy department, and Susan,
the oldest daughter, had control of
the poultry department, and there was
friendly rivalry as to who should
fund.
Supper came before srlndOwn, and
after supper it was suggested that an
hour could be spent pleasantly at the
lake fishing, and it was soon agreed
that the younger ones, including Mr..
Ragsdale, should go to the lake and
try their luck with the finny tribes
The lake was an ideal place for the
sport. Many years before the place
where the lake is now located was a
basin Or low place in the ground and
was bold and never-failing spring,
and the course of the water from the
spring was changed so as to flow into
the baSin and it thus formed the lake.
A lake of itself is beautiful, but Col
Smith, ever having an eye to the use
full as well as to the beautiful, set
out shade trees all around, and had
the lake well stocked with fish of
different kinds and varieties, and the
family was now reaping hte rewards
of his labOrs, in both pleasure and
re ind 1,rin 7 Of
forwards learned, and the fine fry of
fish we had for breakfast the next
morning, at least one of his family and
Mr.. Ragsdale, had fair success and a
very pleasant outing that evening.
After the young people returned
from the lake with their evenings
catch, we were invited into the parlor,
and treated to many pieces of most
excellent music on the piano by Susan,
and before the evening closed l knew
that Mr.. Ragsdale's opinions had
changed with reference to the refine
ment and intelligence of city people
and their country cousins. Thee glow
in his cOuntenance evidenced pleasure,
if not happiness. and reasoning from
cause to effect, was willing to wager
that he had been most agreeably en-
tertained, and that from that time for
ward he would not willingly class our
country citizens as '4hay seeds.''
At that time l did not know what
had transpired between him and Su-
san, but on our way home the next
morning, / thought to tease him, and
to draw from him, if possible, his opin-
ion of her and the family, and farm
life in general, and to my surprise he
was as ready to talk as l was to listen
He began by saying:
yesterday morning | was greatly
prejudiced in favor of city life as
against farm life. l suppose L knew
no better. / had never seen farm life
in any of its phases, much less in the

down to littl ten-year-old Emily, would
have been a credit to any city raised
family in the land. There was no en-
barraSSment, no stiffness, or awkward
ness, but a simple courtesy, or shake
of the land, and a plea SAINT word, and
the work was done Robert Lee, the
fOurnteen-year-Old son of the colonel,
cared for our horses and rig, and we
repaired to the house for a little rest,
and to examine the title papers bar
ing on tn question in dispute between
our host and his neighbor.
The colonel had very CONSIDERABLY
sent for his neighbor, and when he ar
rived, and they compared deeds as to
the lines in dispute, it was found that
the calls were the same. and the only
grounds possible for dispute was
years in the compass, and Mr.. Rags
dale explained that so satisfactorily to
each that i'm ten minutes they were
agreed, and th disput entirly set
tied, and our work as lawyers ended
BY this time dinner was ready, and
here was another surprise for our
young friend, Mr.. Ragsdale. The table
was laden, and almost grOaned under
the many nice dishes that the skillful
wife of thrifty farmer can prepare,
and what suited my fancy as much as
anything else was that everything was
put on the table at one time, as was
the custom when l was a farmers boy
fifty years ago. 1t was June, and no
one who has never been in the coun-
try in June can even imagine the
good things that farmars may have to
eat in that month. But to return to
the table: Here was fried ham, fried
chicken and gravy, ice cold milk just
from the spring house, fresh and pure
golden yellow butter, favored with an
imitation of sheaf of wheat, green
beans and yOund potatoes, new honey
just from the hives, early harvest ap-
pies, cherries, berries, jellis galore,
caks and pies and a hundred other
things, almost, that / cannot now call
to mmOry. 1t is easy to say hay
seed" but it is awful hard to find any
thing that is as satisfying to the in
ward man as a farmers dinner in
June.
After dinner was over, | spoke of
returning to the city, but this was
met with such a strong protest by
the whole family that / gave it up
under the promise of an early start
next morning, and from the friendly
look of Mr.. Ragsdale, L am sure he
was pleased with my decision, and l
am glad now that 1 did not go. For
thirty years / had been used to city
and office life. with only an occasional
trip to the country, and many of the
pleasures of country life had faded
from my memory, and this brought
me back again to the happy scenes
of the long ago, and made me live

over and over again the days of MY
bOyhOod, and to enjoy for the present
that freedom that is only known in
country life.
In the cool of the evening Col.
Smith took us around to see his fine
stock. We first went to his bluegrass
was another surprise, but delight
full surprise to my friend, Mr.. Rags
dale The herd consisted of twenty
or more cattle, all registered, and re
presenting the favOrite families of
the breed. They were real beauties,
fat and sick, and so gentle that we
way to get along. The colonel eX-
planned to us their different families
and pedigrees, and told us of the al
most fabulous prices that he had re
fused for some of thefnest specimens,
and in answer to a question of my
friend Ragsdale. he said that the net
income from the herd was something
over $1,000 per year, and l was sure
that the estimate was none too high
We next visited the fields in which
the hogs were kept, and here was an
other revelation. The hogs were all
registered and of the best breed, and
those of the same age were so much
alike that it took a person with some
acquaintance with them TO tell one
from another. The spring pigs were
then only two and halff or three
months old, and orders had already
been booked sufficient to take every
one of them, and it was nearly a
month until they would be old enough
to ship. With two crops of pigs per
year, the net estimated income from
the hogs was about 81 900 per year.
There was also a registered herd of
sheep on the farm, but being i'm
distant field we did not go to see if.
but were assured by those who knew
that the animals composing the herd
were very fine, and that the income
from the herd was more than two hun
dred dollars per year. The whole
farm was devoted to something beau
tiful, as well as useful and good, and
was so Systematically managed that
there was no friction anywhere. and
showed plainly that ''COl Hayseed"
was man of parts, even though he
was a farmer

fairs of the family, and contributed
