For other salt pork, I recommend you to institute a father or brother, or cousin attached to you in youth, who shall carry on a model farm in the country, and kill for you a model corn-fed pig every year, see it salted with his own eyes, and send to you a half-barrel of the pork for a gage d'amour. It is a much more sentimental present than rosebuds, dearest Hero, and it lasts longer.
My Dakota tan and my corn-fed muscle melted away. The only part of me which flourished was my hair. I knew that I was physically on the down-grade, but what could I do?

"Well, no one delays the game.
"It's a ground-hog case; it's hold these cattle or the Indians will eat them for you. Lost during one storm, and your herd is lost for good."

"One corn-fed pony will do the work of four grass horses," replied the cowman.
