On the other hand, we should recognize the fact that in the grazing region the man who corresponds to the homesteader may be unable to settle permanently if only allowed to use the same amount of pasture land that his brother, the homesteader, is allowed to use of arable land.
Take seriously your assignment to use the part of the earth with which you are in contact intelligently, economically, wisely. Whether you are a novice or a professional, a homesteader or a longtime resident, be sure that each contact you make with the earth enlarges its possibilities of utility, order, beauty.
Banjo was under obligation to Macdonald for no smaller matter than his life, the homesteader having rescued him from drowning the past spring when the musician, heading for Chadron's after playing for a dance, had mistaken the river for the road and stubbornly urged his horse into it.
It was autumn and the air was cold early in the mornings and sweet with the smell of new-mown hay. We hired a homesteader who had a mower to put up hay for us and had a frame made of poles for a small barn and stacked the hay on top around it, against the winter. Most of the settlers first covered this frame with woven wire to keep the stock from eating into the hay.
He looked the homesteader captain over with severe eyes. "Well, sir?" said he. "We were starting for Meander, Major King, to deliver to the sheriff fifty men whom we have taken in the commission of murder and arson," Macdonald replied, with dignity.
And I'm not even a good homesteader." Her tone rang with a trace of bitterness. "You ought not to have to do it and you shall not, Ruth, if I have my way.

Soon I shall have ample means. Within a year or two.

But as a rule the shack dwellers lived out of tin cans like city apartment dwellers.
Yet, on the vast stretches of prairie, where the lonely homesteader has just broken the virgin soil, amid the snows of the bleak North, by the rushing waters of the Fraser, the Mackenzie, the Peace, and the Saskatchewan Rivers, in the far distant valleys of the Rockies the words of the Master are still a living reality. . . . "The fields are ready for the harvest and the workers are few."
And now the T-Bar-T men "had got him." The storekeeper was not half so surprised as he was grieved. He had had an idea that something like this might happen. It was a cattle country, and Annersley had been the only homesteader within miles of Concho. "I wonder just how much of this the sheriff knows already," he soliloquized. "It's mighty tough on the kid."
Abruptly Dan indicated a bench against the wall where the two men seated would take up less space. "I'm " The stranger's voice was unsteady. "I ," but Dan had turned his back and his attention to the homesteader. The eight by ten room constituted the entire home. A shed roof slanted from eight feet high on the door and window side to a bit more than five on the other.
