"Sickness and starvation and the horses failing every day and the need for all the plowing and getting winter fuel. Something must be done." Others agreed, citing additional needs no less pressing. "There are supplies and money coming from the East right now," Jim Shirley declared. "A hunting party crossed south two days ago. I was down on lower Plum Creek searching for firewood, and I met them.
If you are not ready to go to this expense, a subsoiler, following the plow with another team, would put your land in better shape for dry farming or for irrigation than it is now. Starting late, however, might give you less crop the first year on such deep working than by shallow plowing if the year's rainfall should be scant.
"A prairie fire!" cried Mr. Bellmore. "How are you going to fight it?" "There are only two ways," said Pocus Pete. "By plowing, or by firing a strip so wide that the main fire can't cross. We won't have time to plow. We've got to fight fire with fire. Come on, boys." "Oh, if we only had water!" murmured the engineer. "It wouldn't do us much good," said the ranchman.
It was the second spring, and Molly and Walter sat again in the twilighted garden. Walter had just come home from his day's work; he had been plowing. He was a broad-shouldered, lean, powerful, handsome fellow, with a rather slow step, but soldierly carriage. His hands were brown and mighty, and took a little more washing than before. "My father does not seem quite himself!" he said to Molly.
As if it became any easier to solve by putting it over until to-morrow! Chance the Blind Madonna of the Pagan was preparing to solve the riddle for her with a thunderbolt! The mental struggle had exhausted Jane somewhat, and she fell into a doze. When she woke she was startled to see by her wrist watch that it was after eleven. The yacht was plowing along through the velvet blackness of the night.
Along the street to the church went the minister, plowing through the drifts and thinking that this time he would utterly give way to sin. "I want to look at the woman and to think of kissing her shoulders and I am going to let myself think what I choose," he declared bitterly and tears came into his eyes. He began to think that he would get out of the ministry and try some other way of life.
A modern man in the same predicament would probably not think of religion at all, at any rate in the earlier stages; he would say it was a case for deeper plowing or for basic slag." Magic is a way of controlling things. Imitate the act desired, in a certain way, and it will come to pass. Talismans and amulets, again, possess a secret power for good and evil.
The time I hurt the point of my shoulder I was riding a big, sulky horse named Ben Butler, which went over backwards with me. When we got up it still refused to go anywhere; so, while I sat it, Sylvane Ferris and George Meyer got their ropes on its neck and dragged it a few hundred yards, choking but stubborn, all four feet firmly planted and plowing the ground.
Mud from the plowing bullets besmirched him. The brush was mowed away above and on either side of him, and leaves and twigs were falling over him. But they could only shoot at him. They were given no chance to take deliberate aim. As they turned the clumsy barrel of a machine gun down at the fire-sparking point on the hillside a German would raise his head above his pit to sight it.
It's the only place I know that's big enough to exhaust your energies. You will probably have the entire country plowing up its ancestors before spring." "And what about you?" said Quin, turning eagerly to Eleanor. "Would you go with me?" "Will I?" said Eleanor, her eyes dancing.
