Off to the west low blue ridges rose, marking the boundaries of the valley which had been washed out ages ago by water. After the floods it had sprung up to pine forests, and these in their turn had been sheared away by man. It lay now awaiting the plow and seeder of the intrepid pioneer. Suddenly the wife roused up. "Why, we haven't had any breakfast!"
"It's the clause in our agreement about the profits of our second season that is my bright and shining star," he told the good lady more than once. "I don't know yet what we had better put in next year to bring us a fortune; but we'll know before it comes time to plant it." Meanwhile the wheel-hoe and seeder he had insisted upon Mrs.
"Don't call it to mind, but maybe I have. Maybe I have. Anyhow, I calc'late it's true." "There you be, Marvin. Now it behooves a man that's looked up to for to keep in the lead. Ought to look into that seeder, Marvin. Folks'll say: 'Marvin Towne's got him one of them seeders. Darn progressive farmer. Gits him all the modern improvements." "Suthin' in what you say, Scattergood.
It is a lonely life. Especially lonely on a large farm in the West. The life of a hired man like Bradley Talcott is spent mainly with the horses and cattle. In the spring he works day after day with a drag or seeder, moving to and fro an animate speck across a dull brown expanse of soil.
This part of Los Muertos was Hooven's holding, some five hundred acres enclosed between the irrigating ditch and Broderson Creek, and half the way across, Annixter came up with Hooven himself, busily at work replacing a broken washer in his seeder.
"S'pose one could be got up if anybody was int'rested." "Need a strong candidate, wouldn't they? Have to have a man to head it up that would command respect?" "Wouldn't git fur with it. Parties too well organized." "Um!... Lemme show you a new hand seeder I jest got in. Labor savin'. Calc'late it's a bargain." "Don't hold with them newfangled notions, Scattergood." "S'prised at you, Marvin.
Before entering the seeder the raisins are subjected to a thorough brushing, by which every particle of dust is removed.
Lime was driving away furiously at a tough elm log when Farmer Bacon drove into the yard with a new seeder in his wagon. Lime whacked away busily while Bacon stabled the team, and in a short time Marietta called, in a long-drawn, musical fashion: "Dinner-r-r!" After sozzling their faces at the well the two men went in and sat down at the table.
I had traversed it scores of times in every direction, following the plow, the harrow, or the seeder. With a great lumber wagon at my side I had husked corn from every acre of it, and now I was leaving it with no intention of returning. My action, like that of my father, was final.
I can pick up some tools, and as for a woman, Merry Etty an' me have talked that over to-day. She's ready to ready to marry me whenever you say go." There was an ominous silence under the seeder, as if the father could not believe his ears. "What's what's that!" he stuttered. "Who'd you say? What about Merry Etty?" "She's agreed to marry me."
