He stopped and looked up. There were • a fair share of panting. His conversation was balky horses in the township in plinctuated by a choice set of those days, too. at seemed at descriptive adjectives which in time as • if all the horse- themselves should have warm one - ed up the tractor motor. He didn't say much, and then with a most datermined _leek in his eyes he planta his feet wide apart and grasped the crank and began turning in earnest. Then the tractor kicked . and when I say kicked . . . it is for the benefit of city people -who may not be aware that a tractor packs as much dynamite in its wallop as an old-fashioned American mule. Higgins seem- ed to coil up like a snake and then he unwound. The langu- age began to blister once again. * * 1 offered to try cranking the tractor, but by the time 1 made the offer he was buried beneath the hood of the contraption with a hammer and a wreneh. For at least five minutes there was a busy sound of metal on metal. Finally it stopped. ."1 think haVe it fixed,' he said , quite Proudly. He started cranking aild -rept ltVP steattiirfor an, other five minutes. This time the tractor was quite unrespon- sive. There didn't eVen seem to be a kick left in the metal monster. Once again he buried himself under the hood , .. this time locating a dislodged wire which apparently had deadened the motor., The motor would turn over . . . cough a couple of times and then soggily stop. That was encouragementat least. "It's flooded," was the announcement. For five minutes we stood and smoked and talked about every- thingexcept the tractor. Finally he went back to work on it with a vengeance. His hand slipped and he bash- ed his knuckles on, the metal. children out of the kitchen while stove is in use_ 10.Don't use gauze-ilike:cloth for children's party dresses. 111. fake sure that toys and Sports equipment are not left trn the floors, especially near staircases. A bird called the Greater Yel- trading gypsies in the district, lowleg migrates 10,090 miles brought all the balky horses in the province back to our •town- ship. Father, who considered himself to be a keen judge of horse -flesh and a keen trader, found himself at one time with two balky ',horses. When one would ge the .other was certain not to move. I am firmly convinced, that, tractors, like horses, have per- sonalities. Some are sweet - tempered and easy to get along with, but some, like the old character owned by Higgins, can be mean and pesky. You can, however, become as fond of a 'balky tractor as a balky horse. At least some men like Higgins are capable of this feeling. Coming out from breakfast one morning I decided to try and straighten the garden gate up from its rather ,melancholy lean. It was a .brisk autumn morning, the sun -not yet high enough to banish the night's chill. The iron. work on the fenoe Was clammy and cold. The clear morning air was polluted with loud noises . . . the hammering ofmetal on metal and now and, again the asthmatic cough of a ' tractoi which refused 10 get ,Fttarte'd. Neighbor Higgins was 'having another round with his balky tractor. * * It seem q that every time we go to a silo -filling at the Higgins place his tractor acts up: Being newt door neighbors of Higgins, usually go over early -to help him get set up for vvork-guch as sild-filling.
