| 1 Stheniionh Waek Which Bursts Upon the Scene When the Hay was v (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) It's been a strenuous week on the farm. Things have been happening— not all of them eminently desirable things. “And that's the way the row began,” ends the famous old story of the washerwoman’s testimony as to her fight with her neighbor. “The row ‘began, in this case, Sunday evening. mltlntly ever since. This being an “off day,” I'm looking over my scratch- ‘s and scars; counting up to see whether I'm likely to get a Carnegie medal or not. Also I'm taking stock to see what's left. « As | say, it began last Sunday eve- ning. Just as dusk was falling I learn- ed that a wild heifer and calf were in the neighborhood, seeking, what they could. devour. They had descended up- on a neighbor’s kitchen garden, the night before, and left it a ruin. Sweet .corn all eaten off; early beets ditto cabbage plants destroyed; cucumbers and squashes trampled and torn up, ete., ete. All this within eighty rods + of my own three-acre truck patch, on ‘the safe maturing of which I rely for my. living. Word had been sent to the presumable owner of the beast— , & big farmer with hired herdsmen and \ great pastures of a hundred acres or snore in each, but two men, after a whole day's search, had failed to lo- cate the “critter.”” Right next to my gardens lies a mowing field, open to everything on three sides, and the fence between it and me—the only one which is pretended to. be kept up —has been blown down in twenty places by the frequent gales of the spring and early summer. I had my best and prettiest clothes on, having planned to make a short call, when I heard the news. But I had to “make 8, break” for that bad fence, regard- less, and work till it grew too dark to see a post, in the damp grass, propping up and soldering the old thing till it would at least look like a fence. Then I shut all my gates and went to bed to try and sleep, and to find myself a dozen times raised on “one elbow, - listening intently to some slight night-sound which my half-sleeping ears had magnified into the serunch of a cow’s hoofs in my melon patch. Next day, my own staid old Brindle got over a weak spot in my own fence and was browsing a line straight to- wards the early torn when I discov- ered her and cut ~“her prospective luncheon short. That meant more fence fixing. And there were peas to pick and potatoes to dig and beets and onions and carrots and caulifiower to gather, and the dozen other kinds of truck which I wanted for my cart, next day! . It didn't ease things up any when, taking my regular morning trip through the gardens, Tuesday, I dis- covered that something d eaten off about three hundred cabbage plants, which were all there the night before. Ve've no cutworms, thus far this year, and besides these were eaten off well above the tar-paper guards which had been put around many. of the plants when set. No, it wasn't cutworms and it wasn’'t cow. Care- ful scrutiny of the grassed border at last disclosed a slight track which, when followed, led to an old stone wall in which a whole family of wood- chucks had made their summer home. No use of trying bi-sulphide of car- bon or any other Iike “woodchuck dope” in that case. Their hole was under the wall and might be venti- lated at a dozen places, so that her- metically sealing it up was out of the question. A lot of bean plants were stuck into the ground, sprinkled and dressed with paris green. Investiga- tion showed three other holes along that wall, all evidently occupied. We plugged 'em up as well as we could, set traps at all, put more poisoned green stuff around the garden edge— and then set solemnly to work re- planting the cabbage-bed. By this time the drouth, which had been growing worse for about two weeks, had reached a degree which was mighty serious! The week before 1 had set about a thousand celery plants. Despite the care with which the transplanting had been done and the thoroughness with which they had been “watered in" after setting, fully half of them died under the broiling sun and from the lack of moisture. Two thousand more must be set, how- ever. What were we to do? Well, first we plowed the ground, which had been in early peas. It was like plowing ashes, and the dust which rose behind the plow handles was al- most suffocating. Then we put on a bag of high-grade fertilizer and sup- plemented it with a good dose of clear nitrate of soda, all harrowed in. When we came to make the trenches for the plants, sides and bottoms of the twice plowed furrows were just as dry as road-dust and as shifty.

Yet something must be done. We got our pails and the old “sap- yoke,” opuuj up a. of wire fence across the road, and brought water pails for two hours—two of us—from the little brook, pouring it into the furro time, till we m the battom of them all into mud. We let this lie two and then put out half our remaining celery. he wet dirt was packed about the roots, the Tows all gone over with a sprinkling pot and well water- ed in, so as to .settle the soil com- -pactly, then, when this had been ab- rbed, a thin faulch of dry dirt was | ghtly hoed over to prevent evapora- tion and soil-cracking. Half the rows we.then shaded with wide boards, laid lengthwise on blocks which kept them from touching the. plants. haps you'll imagine that back and legs and fingers ached by this time. Right in the midst of it came word that the people I had hired to do my haying were coming next day. “Well, says 1 to myself, “it's better weather for haying than for setting out celery, anyway.” And I rejoiced. ‘Which shows how big a ninny I can be. The men appeared next morning. ‘What vou think?' asked the boss. ‘“Better cut it all down? Don’t seem no sign o' rain.” “Yes” I answered, “there’s only about twelve acres of it, you'll cut that by tomorrow noon, get in a lot in the afternbon and finish up, easy, Saturday.” So they cut it all 23]l T've got; had it down in fine shape by half-past eleven, Friday. Then it clouded over. They drew in one load, and the top of that got sprinkled from the first dash of what proved a veritable cloudburst of a thunderstorm. Saturday _the whole bunch of us worked all #ay shaking up and tedding and stirring and rak- ing, and managed, to get in just two loads more, not very dry at that. And there we are, with every present prospect of another storm by or be- fore Monday. While we were engaged in the midst of this “wrastle” with the environment an old friend sent me a few clippings of farm reading which he had been saving for me. One was a bit of verse called “Back to the Farm.” The first line ran: ¥ “Back to the farm where the bob- white still is calling.” That made me sit up and take no- tice. Haven't heard a bob-white this season, and have been too busy with weeds and grubs and bugs and other more distinctively farm interests to look up if I had heard one. Then it went on: “Home to the farm for the deep green calms of summer.” “Calms of summer,” eh? 1 should like to have had the writer of that follow me, step by step, last week, and task by task, through the “calms” which averaged 93 in the shade, where we were not, and about 140 in the sun—where we were “Down in the hayfield, where scythes glint through the clover, Lying 'mid the haycocks as castling clouds pass over.” So it went on. Did you ever notice a scythe “glint through the clover?” Most scythes I see nowadays are pain ed red and couldnt’ “glint” if they wanted to, while, if the clover is worth cutting at all, it's apt to be too thick to permit a: arge amount of “glint- ing” to “glint” through it. Moreover, we don’'t use scythes in the hayfield any more, but mowing machines. And how many farmers of your acquaint- ance do their haying by “lying ’'mid the haycocks?” Oh, weli, why criticize in this cap- tious way? The farmer makes the haycocks and the poet lies among them and watches the clouds. If he had rather lie there in the hot sun than under the trees on the shady hill, why, that’s his privilege—if he can afford it and can earn enough to live on by doing it. But I don’t think there would be much hay cured or many potatoes raised if that system of farming was commonly practiced. . / How about the woodchucks and the celery? Well, we've trapped half a dozen young ’‘chucks and made dog meat of them; the rest have removed, either temporarily or permanently. The re-set cabbages are all right now and may, if not again disturbed, make late heads. And as to the celery, that fur- row-soaking labor did the business. The plants never wilted after being set and the heavy rain which came two days later freshened and invigorated them so that they are now, I think, be- yond danger. The half which we left unshaded is just as sturdy and strong as the shaded rows. So fhat part of our precautions seems to have been wasted energy. Now I'm wondering what's going to come my way this week and whether I'm going to have to put in about fif- put plants into that sort of soil was sure death, and merely watering them in, after setting, we had already found teen hours a day of strenuous—some- times almost frantic—Ilabor.
