The quiet of the late summer day surrounded her. She heard the dizzy din of the bees, the sleepy grinding of the grass hoppers, the sough of the solitary pine at the door, and then behind them all a whizzing, machine-like sound. This particular sound went on and on. She opened the door of the next room.
First came crows, from their homes in the woods beyond the pasture, to feast on the numerous hoppers and crawlers left roofless by the mowers, and to procure food for their hungry young, and alighted in the stubble, two or three or half a dozen at a time. By this the soul of the redwing was fired, and with savage war-cries he descended upon them.
You know it spoils any joke to be obliged to explain it, and this is the best joke I ever heard." "Who made the joke?" asked Scraps. "Diksey Horner. He is working in the mines, just now, but he'll be home before long. Suppose we wait and talk with him about it? Maybe he'll be willing to explain his joke to the Hoppers." "All right," said Scraps. "I'll wait, if Diksey isn't too long."
So, glued and plastered, they climbed away from the water and prepared to spend the night in a hollow between two leaning rocks, certainly not as snug as the cave but a fortress of sorts. "And credit-happy space hoppers pay a fortune for an outing like this!"
"Now," said Dorothy, as they stood on the mountain path, having left behind them the cave in which dwelt the Hoppers and the Horners, "I think we must find a road into the Country of the Winkies, for there is where Ojo wants to go next." "Is there such a road?" asked the Scarecrow. "I don't know," she replied.
They were harmless and just settling down for the night. But of higher types of animals from which something might be learned hoppers, runners there were no traces. For all he was able to pick up, they might be climbing into blank nothingness. And that in itself was ominous. Normally he should have been able to mind touch more than duck-dogs.
Myself. Romanys are gipsies. The Man. We ain't gipsies. Myself. What are you then? The Man. We are hoppers. Then how did you understand all I have said to you about gipsies? Henrietta. I didn't. I again asked for my coat, but it was clear now that before offering to fight the florid-faced man with the mole over his left eyebrow I must have hung my coat upon the splashboard of his van.
Think of it, my dear, out almost every night, dances, rides, picnics, theatres. Perhaps the men were better those days or the girls more innocent." There was one episode, however, of these earlier years that left a deeper mark. The friend who at the opportune moment had offered Horatio his point of stability at Hoppers' was Henry Snowden, a handsome, talkative man of forty-five.
"I found them in the draw where the wild plums grow," Asher said. "How they ever escaped the hoppers is a miracle." "We will christen our claim 'The Sunflower Ranch' tonight, and these are our decorations for the ceremony. It is all we have now. But it is ours," Virginia declared. And then she told the story of the bank failure at Cloverdale.
The poultry community can have its own elevator and the grain can be sold to the farmer to be delivered directly into the hoppers in his field with but a single loading into a wagon. Availability of Water. One more point to be considered in location is water. The labor of watering poultry by carrying water in buckets is tremendous and not to be considered on any up-to-date poultry plant.
