He was certainly longer in the back than we care for nowadays, and his head also was shorter, and his jaw more snipy than is now seen, but his portrait clearly shows he was a genuine Scottish Terrier, and there is no doubt that he, with his kennel mates, Tartan, Crofter, Syringa, Cavack, and Posey, conferred benefit upon the breed.
The states along the Atlantic seaboard have all the facilities for successful intensive cultivation a dense population and idle, cultivable land. In choosing a location, the home crofter should well consider his experience, and try to enter a community where he can engage in analogous pursuits.
All loads were as yet carried on horseback; but when the farm was too small, or the crofter too poor to keep a horse, his own or his wife's back bore the load. The horse brought peats from the bog, carried the oats or barley to market, and bore the manure a-field.
At Sir Rowland Hill's I met Sir Walter Crofter, a prison reformer; Mr. She had a salon, where I met very clever men and women English and French and which made me wish for such things in Adelaide. The kindness and hospitality that were shown to me an absolute stranger by all sorts of people were surprising. Mr. and Mrs. Westlake took me on Sunday to see Bishop Colenso.
But I am not sure that the Scotch peasant, the crofter in his Highland cabin, the operative in his squalid tenement-house, in the hopelessness of poverty, in the grime of a life made twice as hard as that of the Arab by an inimical climate, does not owe more to literature than the man of culture, whose material surroundings are heaven in the imagination of the poor.
Davie was a fine, hearty specimen of a Scottish crofter, whose appearance did not tally with his acknowledged seventy-nine years; for his handsome, ruddy face, framed by white whiskers, and crowned with abundant, curly white locks, showed scarcely a wrinkle. He was stalwart and straight, too, as many a man twenty years his junior would dearly love to be.
Those who are familiar only with the relations existing between landlord and tenant in this country are naturally surprised to find the crofter demanding that his landlord shall give him the use of more land, reduce his rent, pay him on leaving his holding for all his improvements, and not accept in his stead another tenant, even though the latter may be anxious to take the holding at a higher figure or turn him out for any other reason.
He always took it." Mr. Crofter went back into the hotel with something of the feeling of a baseball player who has made a mighty swing with his bat and missed. And Jock informed Dr. Leslie the next day that he had intended all along to vote for Local Option, but had omitted to say so earlier. The case of Father Tracy had brought even greater joy.
The fairy's daughter arrived at his croft-yard after the cows were taken ill, and she heard him say to his son, a bright lad: "It must be the old witch!" When she heard this, she sent him to the queen. So next day the fairy queen took six fairies and went to the croft, taking her blue pot of perfume. When she got there she asked the crofter if he would like his cows cured?
Think how they'll be going around bragging that they've got a cow of the old breed from the Ingmar Farm!" When she saw old Crofter Nils trying to choose a plow she smiled a little scornfully. "Crofter Nils will think himself a real farmer when he can drive a plough that Big Ingmar himself has used." More and more people kept gathering round the things to be auctioned off.
