Boyle THE OTHER PLACE The stabling of the cattle in Fall always means the end of at least one weekly excursion on the part of the average farmer. He no longer has an excuse on Sunday afternoon to go and see the cattle on the other place. the In the early days ourjathers all set­ tled on small fifty-acre farms in this township. They worked hard and amassed enough money to buy a one hundre-acre.. place and then moved. That left the old farm! Some sold them, but the majority kept their or­ iginal places, In time they became grass farms, where the cattle were pastured during the summer months, Gradually in us farmers there has been built up a fascination for ramb­ ling over to the other place on Sun­ day afternoon. Having the few chores dispensed with, the paper perused and the pipe going strong, you tentatively suggest: "Those cattle haven’t been given salt for quite a while now.” If you know there’s bound to be* com­ pany coming that afternoon you make it stronger, such as “Neighbour Hig­ gins told me he thought one of those steers on the other place was sick. Maybe I had better wander over for a few minutes this afternoon and see bow they are.’’ Farmers who have grass farms at a distance farther away than two con­ cessions, often make it a holiday for the whole family to look at the cat­ tle on the other place. They’ll bundle everyone -up in the’ car or the horse and buggy, and take lunch. I often wonder why the apples over there always seem to be so much better. We have an orchard at Lazy Meadows here that receiives average care, and each year bears mighty finie apples. Bu,t when I’m at lite grass farm, Talmon Sweets or Harvest ap­ ples from the scrawny, uncared for trees, seem to have a better flavor. Suchansuch, our collie pup, is al­ ways ready for an excursion to the grass farm. He sits on the back stoop with his head cocked at an angle, waiting to hear that half-chiding of Mrs. Phili, “Now, don’t you stay over there all day,” and, as the spring on the screen door whines, he’s off, bounding around the yard and, by way of a little practice, chasing Tabby up into the crotch of the nearest ap­ ple tree. All afternoon long he spends in sneaking up on woodchucks that come out to sun themselves on the verandah of their dugouts on the side of the Sandy hill. Sometimes he catches one, and is so bewildered by his suc­ cess that he generally lets it get away. If it’s summer time the cattle are generally lolling in theiri mid-day fa- Wagons.....

Occasionally there’s a sur­ prise such as finding a cow with a sprightly calf. Sometimes too, Bossy has hidden her offspring down in the swale at the edge of the bush, and there’s a lively half hour or so in try­ ing to find her lair. One of the thrills of visiting the other place is to drink from the crys­ tal clear spring that comes bubbling up from cool, rock depths. It has such a fresh, earthy taste that satis- fies , . , and you drink long and deep­ ly, and, sitting down on the flat rock nearby, sit for lengthy periods just watching the flowing, rippling crys­ tal of the water. It’s generally quite late afterhoon when you finally see if the block of salt is still doing its job and having counted the number of cattle, head back across tlje fields for home. Per­ haps, we farmers are. like the city men who have sidelines to tide them over in case their main jobs stop pro­ viding the money for daily bread. We consider the “other places” as side­ lines!
