"Yes; nor does the company pay any dividends now. You ought to know, with fifty thousand of their stock on your hands." Barker laughed. "But listen. I found that I could buy up their whole plant and all the ditching along the Black Spur Range for ten thousand dollars." "And Great Scott! you don't think of taking up their business?" said Stacy, aghast. Barker laughed more heartily. "No.
Indeed, he had a brain for everything: he could thatch better nor many that arned their bread by it; could make a slide-car, straddle, or any other rough carpenter work, that it would surprise you to think of it; could work a kish or side creel beautifully; mow as much as any two men, and go down a ridge of corn almost as fast as you could walk; was a great hand at ditching, or draining meadows and bogs; but above all things he was famous for building hay-ricks and corn-stacks; and when Squire Farmer used to enter for the prize at the yearly plowing-match, he was sure to borrow the loan of Larry from whatever master he happened to be working with.
Nothing was done to the land round the Crow's Nest this time; it was a fateful moment when Johannes, instead of taking his spade and beginning the ditching, felt inclined to go with his brother carting herrings. On one of the farms where they went to trade, a still-born calf lay outside the barn; Johannes caught sight of it at once. With one jump he was out of the cart and beside it.
And it's fine to see how the bogland's dried only since last year's ditching 'tis all a question now what'll grow on her this year. Ay, thrive? When we've house and home and land and all 'tis enough for the two of us surely." "Ho," says Sivert slyly, "and the two of you is that all there's ever to be?" "Why, as to that," says Fredrik bravely, "'tis like enough there'll be more to come.
The boulders are treated by ditching and surrounding with a hot fire for forty-eight hours; cold water, not vinegar, is then poured upon them, and causes the heated material suddenly to contract and fracture, when it can easily be removed. Magnetic iron also occurs, and specimens have been sent to England; but veins have not yet been discovered.
He then rose and as he moved off made some threat against the life of the engineer and about "ditching" the train. Being asked to repeat this important part of his testimony, the witness admitted that he could not repeat the threat exactly, but he was positive that the prisoner had threatened the life of the engineer of the Denver Limited.
Hedging and ditching they term productive labour, though those operations conduce to production only indirectly, by protecting the produce from destruction; but the necessary expenses incurred by a government for the protection of property are, they insist upon it, consumed unproductively: though, as has been well pointed out by Mr.

Of course we shall do as much as any one of them, and perhaps a little more, but we cannot expect any great results." "Maybe I can think of something," mused Teddy. "I wish you might." "What would you say to ditching the other fellows?" asked Teddy innocently. "Teddy Tucker, I am ashamed of you!" exclaimed Phil.
"But it is a very short trip from the solarium by way of the side porch into Nita's bedroom. "Sprague's your man!" Sanderson interrupted with relief. "Motive: jealousy because Nita was ditching him to marry Ralph.... As for the gun and silencer, it seems pretty clear to me that Nita herself stole it from Judge Marshall, and that Sprague got it away from her.
The fields must be carefully prepared, extensive ditching must be done in order to provide irrigation during the dry season; the fields must be cleaned repeatedly while the cane is growing; and when the cane eventually matures, after fourteen to eighteen months of growth, it must upon cutting be immediately transported to the mill, where expensive machinery grinds it and fabricates sugar from the cane juice.
