Resolutions Of Respect.

On Jan. 20, 1921, an honored
brother, Rev. Asa Brown. drop.
ped forever the working tools Of
life to enter the Celestial Lodge
above, where the Supreme Ar.
chitect of the universe presides.
Uncle Asa, as we affectionate-
ly called him, lived to the ripe

more than so years. He was made
a Mason when our Lodge was
working U. D., thereby becom.

Lodge, No. 1878, which bears the
date of Dec. 8, 1881.
Brother Brown soon became
Master of the Lodge, serving in
this capacity for several years,
and installed his successors in
office more times, perhaps, than
any other Past Master of t h i $
Lodge.
His last attendance in Lodge
was June "a, 1920.
Now. therefore, be it Resolved:
That we bow in humble submis
sion to Him who doeth all things
we'll.
Resolved 2, That the Lodge be
draped in mourning for period
of thirty, days.
Resolved 3, That a copy Of
these resolutions be sent to the
Orphans Friend and The Watau.

statement made by G. D. Math-

of The Asheville Board of Trade
last Saturday on his way from
the State Test Farm to his of.

Mr.. Matthews states this is the
third year of the experiment, and
that at the end OF. each five year
period detailed report of the
work and results would be pub.
lished for distribution to the ap.
pie growers of North Carolina.
He said the object of the work is
to determine the most desirable
methods of training apple trees,
whether it be the open head or
modified leader, whether high
headed or low headed, and to de.
termine the effect of the differ.
ent degree of annual prooning on
the shape and produc tivity ofthe
trees.

(By L. N. Perkins


(By L. N. Perkins.)
NoTE-This installment of this
article should have appeared be.
fore the last one, the mistake be-
ing made by a confusion OF man.
uscipt.
Soon after our return f r ON
Tanning county the Adams ira.
ded a half interest in 500 head of
cattle to a man by the name of
Hatcher for a farm near Fort
Worth; two hundred head of
beef cattle and three hundred
head of stock cattle three years
old and under. The cattle were to
be gathered at once and driven
to the Northern markets, Ad-
ans to be at the expense of get
ting the cattle to market. Hatch
er and Frank Adams were both
to accompany the outfit, and the
money be divided equally. The
beef cattle had to be gathered in
Erath county, one hundred miles
west of Fort Worth, while the
stock cattle were scattered over
two or three counties, so all
hands went to work to get the
cattle gathered and ready for the
drive.
Gathering wild cattle then was
no easy job. They were very wild
and it required no little strategy
to handle them successfully. 1t
also took a feet horse and a good
rider to outrun these long leg
ged, wide-hol ned cattle. The COW
boys would 60 in squads Of II or
IS in number, and when they
came to a knoll overlooking a
large number Of cattle grazing
in the valley, they would halt be
fore the cattle became frighten'
ed and two of them would start
in opposite directions as rapidly
as possible, and when at a prop
er distance two others would
start the same way until they
had formed a circle around the
bunch, then some in front, on
sides and rear, they would move
the cattle to a strong corral built
for the purpose, where t h e Y
wee assorted and those retain
ed that were wanted. Some OF
those wild cattle when corraled
were mean to fight and to guard
against that the boys would use
what they called a "karowho"
pole Ia mexican word). The "ka-
row" pole was a strong pole, OF
convenient length, with a raw
hide loop to 60 over the saddle
horn on one end and asharp steel
spike on the other end. This usu
ally conquered them. but occa
sionally an old native could moi
be subdued and had to be shot tc
get him out of the way. Only the
most expert could use the pole
so I was not called on for thai
business, but I've seen them US
ed.
During the time we were gath
ering the cattle l received a let
ter from home folks which per
haps changed the whole course
of my life. The letter informed
me that my brother, next to me
had the western fever" art
was soon to leave home and Iva:
implored to return home, as my
father and mother were left ir
an almost helpless condition, my
, father being a cripple and physi
cally unable to look after the farm
and stock. This was a sore dis
appointment to me as | was jus
getting interested in the cattl'
business and did not wish togiv
it up. liked Texas and expect
ed to go into the stock business
and grow up with the country.
I had some flattering offers iron

nothing preventing, l would re-
turn home.
AS fast as the cattle could be
gathered they were brought to
Fort Worth and kept under herd
in the day time and at night put
in a strong corrala short distance
from town. The requisite num-
ber being obtained, and our camp
outfit in readiness, on the 25th of
July we started on the drive.
The outfit consisted of five hun.
dred head of cattle, two hundred
stock, a team and wagon with a
tentand camp supplies, ten hands
and a negro cook and driver, be-
side the two bosses, Adams and
Hatcher. Each hand used two
horses, one of their own and one
of the owners of the cattle. The
cattle were used alternately, one
day under the saddle and the
next day loose in the herd. The
wage paid the hands was Sl.5O
per day in gold.
The route selected was from
Fort Worth via Plano and Sher.
man, Texas, to a place on Red
River known as Boggy Depot,
where there was a good ferry
kept in operation. Red River at
that place was the boundary line
between Texas and the Indian
Territory. The provisions con.
sisted of flour, bacon, beef, coffee
salt and soda, no vegetables or
fruit. To keep supply of beef
we would lay over a day about
once a week at a suitable camp
ing place, and slaughter calf or
small yearling. The flesh of the
beef would be sliced thin and
dried on a scaffold built of forks
and poles, and a hot fire kept un,
der it till it was dry enough to
be sacked to haul. The bones
would all be cooked and used be.
fore starting to drive again. The
weather was hot and dry and the
wa.er bad. The water we were
usually forced to drink was stan
ding water in the creek beds,
where hundreds of cattle and
horses passed through it ever"
day. We had no feed of any sor,
for the stock as grass was plenti,
full everywhere and all stock was
expected to live on it. The aver.
age drive was from ten to fifteen
miles per day, giving the stock
plenty of time to Craze. The cat
tie were kept under herd day
