about the un- se lson ilily cold wet weather 3fis- ttrdav was mis rable and as part ner and i drove along no 6 high way and across country vie noticed smoke coming from a good many chimnivs including trie farmhouse bt longing to friends in the llespt ler district whom we were visiting for the first time for over a year thit srnok curling upward from thi chimney was a very welcome sign rh house was as warm as the welcomt wc received this farm was one of the few where the grain harvest had been completed but of course there is still the- silo to fill i don t think i v r ws in a country garden where- there were so many beautiful flow rs almost every kind you could hunk of annuals pere-n- niils shrubs all with a profusion of bloom the women folk in that family certainly have a green thumb but how they ever keep up with the work i don i know it grieved me to look around and think that so much of the glory of tht garden will soon be lost it will take only one killing frost to do it while the women of the party wt rt admiring gardens turkeys dogs and newborn calves the men wt re walking the farm over the r ivine and through the- bush and thi back fields discussing the mer its and disadvantages of thi- farm is i whole as farmers always do v bin they get together here at ginger farm there was i little extra activity this morning the stock truck came in to take a cow and calf to market partner was anticipating a little trouble in loiding the cow but he- necdn t havt worried livestock truckers art better equipped to deal with pervcist animals than they used to be a ramp with sides is lowered from the back of the truck to fit inside the stable door and the cattle with a little persuasion from the rear have no option but to walk into the truck there is no excuse these days for livestock to arive at the stockyards bruised and beaten thank goodness we have finally reached the stage when care is usually exercised so that our dumb animals are not subjected to needless suffering years ago i used to dread seeing a drover drive into the yard i re member one drover partner refused to do business with at all he was excellent at selling but terribly rough with the- cattle we preferred a man maybe not quite so smart but certainly more humane our next worry will be selling the old hens and that will be an other story always as soon as the first hen is caught the birds get scared and fly all over the place maybe the time will come when a specially wired in truck will be in vented so that hens like cattle could be just driven inot the truck i can t see any reason why some such contrivance couldn t be in vented with movable partitions for use in going from one call to an other partnerts very busy these days rounding up useless wood lying around the place such as neckyok- esand whiffletrees they make excellent fuel for the fireplace of course the end pieces are salvaged for scrap iron like all other farm folk we have an awful accumulat ion of stuff saved because it might come in handy sometime but after all what is the use of horsedrawn equipment after the team is gone partner gave all his harness away a few years ago hut- there is still plenty of other stuff around enough to keep the fire place going for quite a while best mjod long hours of work combined with the usual hazards of farm machinery make the harvest season the most dangerous
