NORTH CARVER, Mass Oct.
| 26.-When Charles Garland en-
tered the Chicken Coop" he
crested everybody pleasantly,
but without change OF expres-
sion. Then, arranging himself
comfortably on the hard board
floor, he turned his attention TO
the cranberries.
They're the best icranberries
on the Cape" he remarked.
I had expected the extraordi.
nary Charles, the man who had
aroused the, interest Of q whole
country with his strange ideas,
to talk of something weightier
than cranberries. Later that eve
ming he did, but now he eased
himself to his feet and allowed
as" he'd have to 60 out and get
to work. ....... D.. -sr -....s. ..,
Garland at Work. ~.
From the window Of the coop I
watched young Garland at his work.
He tore the rocks from the soil. lift.
ing great heavy ones with his long
brown arms, and piling them on q
board he had hitched behind his
tractor. Then he rode with them 70
the edge Of the clearing and dumped
them. He repeated this operation
endlessly. Clearing the Garland
thirty acres reminds one Of a colony
Of ants keeping busy at their iife-
Alice had finished the cranbcrries
and was cooking oatmeal at the
small wood. burning cook stove.
Not Much on Food.
"Oh, can we have some for our
supper" asked Ann. I'm starved. .
"It's for, the calf" answered Alice.
y, And she took the steaming pot out
10 the shed. ar-~t -.- g.. ..i.--r D.
When she returned I asked her Il
there wasn't something l could dc
| to help.
Thee may set the table," an.
swered Alice. &c..
The only table In the room was q
4. small wooden one such as one cx.
| poets to find in under.sized Kitchens.
Where 10 the cloth?" i asked.
There isn't any" said Alice.
] looked about me for the dishes
and saw them stacked in the caves
Of the coop. When l had set five
places. ! asked Alice II every hing
was all right.
She smiled, and removed half u
the dishes had put on the table
That was my first hint that the
Garland gang sets small store Ly
food. .s',. "- go. g. 49,.

I wondered Why nobody thought lc
put anything on the stove to cook
Alice had. placed a black loaf and
a. knife on a board at Gariaud's
plate, and beside II a tall. pitcher
Of milk. Then she called every
body to supper. = -- ,.. - -,
Doris came In with milk pals
She had been "separating.'' Bar
ley came In and lit two candles.
Doris sat on o bench and Gar
land came and sat beside her.
sat with Anna on the couch.
| =, Only Farm Produce.
The meal started with shreddec
wheat and ended with cranberries
and block bread. And that was all
| There was plenty to eat II you liked
what there was. l gathered from
'conversation at supper that Garland
| and his girl disciples believe in eat
ing only what they produce on Is the
farm.
Over q stove cheesecloth bag
containing perhaps two pounds u
beans have been hung to dry. /
asked II they had been raised or
the farm.
Yes" said Barley, and we really
ought to have more, But we very
foolishly ate them while they Were
green, during the summer never
thinking that we'd need them in
the winter"
! remembered the pathetic rows
Of half-hearted carrots, beets and
squashes: the half portion pump
kins and the rather gnarled po
tatoes I had seen on the farm and
felt sorry for the '.questers." II
began to look like a hard winter.
