FROM THE FIELD.

that the husbandman went after his
mule to pillow in the north field over
by the brook; and 10, the hired SER
want had left the gate open and the
swine were in the potato patch and
had done much damage and when
the husbandman had expended much
perspiration and some profanity he
succeeded in confirming the swine
and went forth to plow in the new
ground. And it soon came to pass
that his pillow struck root and the
root flew back and struck him on
the shin with exceedingly great
force and the handle of the pillow
did punch him In the ribs with such
force that he fell to the ground as
one dead. And 10, the mule fled and
caught the plow on a stump and the
pillow was so broken up that he had
to take it TO worker in wood and
iron to mend the pillow, but it came
to pass that he met there man
who would have talked TO him con-
corning the tariff and a senator call
ed Bailey and another man of many
words called Bryan and when the
husbandman would not consent unto
all that the man said he became very
wrath and said thou fool" And
when he had ceased speaking there
appeared unto him another man who
spoke many words concerning the
sale of wine and strong drink and
when the husbandman would not
agree with him he said unto him,
Thou art wine bibber, and a
friend of publicans and sinners and
ought not to be permitted to live in
the land" And the husbandman be-
came sorely troubled in spirit and
he said within himself, These are
indeed troublesome times when it
is criminal or folly for man to be
honest" And it was so. And when
it was night he returned to his house
MIXED nine kline, fed his beasts and
carried in wood and he was an hun
gered and would have eaten but 10,
the house was dark and there was
chair in the way as he walked
across th. room and it raised up and
smote him with S;>at force so that
he suffered exceedingly great pain,
And about that time his wife at the
hired servant and his daughter and
a certain seller of newspapers who
Travelled round about in that coun-
try, returned from a village not far
off where they had been to see a
picture show. And the husbandman
had no supper for the seller OF news
papers had eaten all even unto the
crumbs that would yare fallen from
the table. And the wing machine
agent and the insu Sc agent had
gone to bed for they done much
toll and were wearie I'd when the
husbandman and his lhad retir-
ed 70 tAettrr--eha1nhet she put her
arms about his neck and said, "My
lord, | know that | have found favor
in thy sight and whatsoever | would
have today bought a patent iron,
which will save fuel enough in one
month to pay for its cost (and the
children use the iron to crack nuts
even unto this day. l gave thy last
winters overcoat to a good woman
who will send il to the poor heather
Hottentots who will greatly need 1t
If it should chance to frost in the
country they inhabit From seller
of recipes | purchased formula for
making soap without oil and Will
indeed be a great saving of thy
earnings" And many other things
did she tell him she had gotten for
the comfort and economy of the
family And when the morrow has
come the husbandman insured his
life bought new swing and paid
the seller of newspapers for sub
scription.
And when he went forth to toll,
night in his grain and had destroyed
II until there was little left for the
sickle. And when he demonstrated
with his neighbor his neighbor ex-
pressed much sorrow but when he
was gone his neighbor said Il am not
his keeper and indeed will not build
fences for him..
In my next epistle shall tell OF
the floods, drouths, frostS and in
sects that heset the way of the hus-
bandman.
On last Saturday W. d. Mcclure
of the Avalon community sold a load
of cotton in the seed for $165,l5
there being 1926 pounds. MI Nc
Clure says where he got the load he
is making about two-thirds of a bale
per acre. That is doing very we'll for
dry season.
