"I told the father that I took the boy with me, and that a bird had carried him off," said the village trader. "But where in the world are there birds strong enough to carry off boys?" said the judge. "I have a question to ask you," answered the village trader. "If birds cannot carry off boys, can mice eat plows?" "What do you mean by that?" asked the judge. "I left my good plow with this man.
As it stands now, we ain't got a thing to do but set around and look wise unless we go spoiling good grass with plows. First thing we know our neighbors will be saying we ain't improving our claims!" "You improve yours every time you git off it!" stated Happy Jack spitefully because of past wrongs.
Now and then he may grumble "A woman's allers findin' somethin' to do that a man can't see no sense in;" but, then, the Lord made women fussy over trifles His ways are inscrutable so why bother about it? The mountain farmer's wife is not only a household drudge, but a field-hand as well. She helps to plant, hoes corn, gathers fodder, sometimes even plows or splits rails.
Some farmers threshed directly from the shock, and the new "Vibrator" took the place of the old Buffalo Pitts Separator with its ringing bell-metal pinions. Wheeled plows were common and self-binding harvesters were coming in. Although my laconic little diary does not show it, I was fiercely resolved upon returning to the Seminary.

Spending its spasmodic heat, the storm subsides, and the ship plows on toward destined port. Sir Donald and Esther returned from the opera expecting to meet their friends.

Which half of that statement was true at that particular moment the reader already knows. Next, they reached the "department" store which carried everything from handkerchiefs to plows. The proprietor started when they entered and looked keenly at their suits. To their questions about the other four he replied that he hadn't seen them, and if he had he wouldn't know where they were now.
Every other link bites through the hide an' the chain plows a most excellent an' wholesome furrow. As the chain descends, the sympathetic Tom jumps an' gives a groan. Tom feels a mighty sight worse than his companero. At the sixth wallop Tom can't b'ar no more, but with tears an' protests comes an' stands over Jerry an' puts it up he'll take the rest himse'f.
"I have sometimes wondered," Polwarth yet again resumed, "whether the troubles without end that some people seem born to I do not mean those they bring upon themselves may not be as subsoil plows, tearing deep into the family mold, that the seeds of the lost virtues of their race may in them be once more brought within reach of sun and air and dew.
