PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
“MY FARM”
He was one of those typical, young
city men filled with notions that ev
eryone from the farm is a hick. He
had a pasty face and a jerky cough
and he smoked cigarettes incessantly,
and he looked down in a rather con
descending way and said, “Well, well
how are things on the farm these
days. Still grubbing away for a liv
ing, I suppose.”
It was in Tim Murphy’s store ami
the young chap was selling something
and waiting for Tim to finish serving
a customer
around for words then because the
words Were framed for me as fast as
I could say them, “Well, son, I guess
we are grubbing for a living, but we
away there’s a sense of security in
turning in your own laneway. The
very act of getting out and shutting
the front gate seems to be a barrier
that will keep out the unkind aspects
of a world that can be most unkind.
Take a cool evening in the Fall for
instance when a man turns in that
front gate and sees his wife framed
in the light from the kitchen window.
You’ll see her brush the steam from
the window made by her breath, and
then on seeing you she’ll wave a
cheery welcome and disappear to put
the kettle on, in order that the water
may be hot for the tea by the time
you’re through in the stable.
With the early darkness of a Fall
evening you have to light the lantern
in order to put the horses away.
There’s a pleasant warmth in the
stable and the sound of the stock.
The horses fall to eating in a hearty
way, and Tabby stretches luxuriantly
from where she has been reposing on
the chop bag and comes up to affec
tionately rub against your pant leg„
Suchansuch, the collie pup, is romp
ing around in the pile of hay that-
someone thoughtfully put down for
feeding the horses, and old Sir Tim
othy, the red bull, champs around ira
his stall as if protesting the disturb
ances to his slumber.
On the way up to the house you
stop for a moment to glance in the
hen house where the hens are sleep
ily clucking on their roosts. As yotfi
open the door one falls from the
roost and after stalking around stup
idly hops up on the lower perch. In
the orchard the occasional vagrant
breeze is rewarded by the sound of an
apple plopping into the grass. Old
Tom, the turkey gobbler, sends forth
his "Qui Vive” like a ghostly sentinel
from his outlaw perch on top of the
driving shed.
And then just before opening the
back kitchen door you stop to look
back at the panorama of' your farm
outlined by the early evening moon
which has come peeping over the
hills. There’s a mist of grayish fog
hovering in the low spots, contrast
ing the black outline of the elms on
the knolls.
There comes to you in that mo
ment a feeling of sovereignty, as you
gaze back along the land that brings
forth from its bosom each year the
crops that give you your daily bread.
Perhaps it’s grubbing for a living, but
it’s a God-made task and that’s a con
solation, because the handiwork of
man is hot showing up to best ad
vantage in these days of strife. .
