'Pon my sainted Sam, but we look the complete Bug-hunters! Now, listen to your Uncle Stalky! We're goin' along the cliffs after butterflies. Very few chaps come there. We're goin' to leg it, too.
In my ranching and farming days I well remember how general was the disbelief in its practical value throughout the Middle and Far West. In cowboy terminology, all scientists were classified as "bug-hunters," and farmers generally had no use for the theorist. The non-agricultural community had naturally no higher appreciation of the farmer's calling than he himself displayed.
Let's have a squint at it!" yelled the juniors. "Give her to the Bug-hunters." "The cat looked at the King and died of it! Hoosh! Yai! Yaow! Maiow! Ftzz!" were some of the cries that followed.
