Whispering willows and elms played by vagrant trees supplied the incidental music and the lapping of the water in the pool serv­ ed as a gentle spur to his imagination. There he sat on Siinday morning and wrote of what had taken place during the week. “Running a farm is like being in command of a great army,” he relat­ ed. “You battle against life every day and plot your brains against the com- , bined forces of nature and fate. You find that if you fight fair, they’ll be fair . . , and that if you start slipping they’ll creep in on you. Give a field a poor cultivation and you’ll find that the weeds will move in and choke the crop. I like farming because -it’s the grandest, cleanest occupation in the world. If you have imagination and foresight you can go to the top, just as captains of industry do, If you shirk, then you must dawdle along in a half form of existence. I like to work and plan and be hearty in everything. I go to bed at night tired and get up with the sun, and I glory in being fit and healthy and ac­ tive.

I had read his ar­ ticles for a number of years and dur­ ing the course of time had formed an impression of what he must look like and what his farm must be like. Ac­ cordingly, having a few days of quiet­ ness on the farm I rambled down to see him. My ideas of his farm were as far astray as they could possibly be. He had two hundred acres of level, well cultivated land and the monotony of the flat land was relieved by the most attractive arrangement I have ever witnessed around a house and barn. Sitting on a small knoll, well bank­ ed with flowers that showed the care­ ful attention of a good housekeeper, was a substantial farm home. Just the kind of farm home that you not­ ice in driving past, and in so doing will say, “There’s a mighty nice look­ ing place, because it has such a friendly looking house on it.” Between the house and the pond was a jewel-like body of water with a quaint rustic bridge. Floating ser­ enely along the water’s surface was lily-pads and ducks, a perfect picture of contentment and charm. The ducks were gliding along in flotilla style, bobbing down at intervals for a bite of something to eat. Among whispering “weeping willow” trees stood a frame barn. It was not one of those modern, efficient looking barns that seem to glare like a great ugly office building in the centre of a green patch of grass, but rather a warm, comfortable looking one with the odd board off and window stuffed with a I wandered back of small ravine that was sides with elms that seemed like some gigantic archway and camfe upon him in the corn patch. While his son was scuffling corn, he was engaged in the very farmer-like task of leaning on a hoe-handle. I introduced myself and lie shook hands in ft way that made me feel welcome. There was no nonsensical apology for his clothes being stained with good, honest clay. He made no inane remarks about not shaving that mbrning. He mentioned how he was figuring as to what he would sow in the corn field next year, and led the way to a nook he had behind the barn in a tool shed, and with a wave of his hand indicated that I should sit down and be comfortable.
