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. .
