VISITOR FROM NEW YORK
HONORED WITH PARTY
Mrs. Legree Tarrant of West
Point, N. Y., sister and house guest
of Mrs. Mae Stuck, was compliment-
Those city dudes who write farm
verse
Should take a ride inside a hearse;
I’ll bet that city guy don’t know
A Hampshire barrow from a crow;
He never plowed a field of corn
Beginning with the sun at mom;
He never shocked a field of oats,
Or fed the steers or colts or shoats;
He never dug post-holes all day
When Sol was shooting heat his way;
He never combined wheat or rye
When temperature was super-high;
He never worked up on the stack
A-forkin’ chaffy oats straw back;
He never worked a single day
Up in the mow a-pushin’ hay;
He never shoveled wheat up in
An elevated granary bin;
He never pushed a scythe, immense,
A-mowin’ weeds along the fence;
He never ran a small-grain header,
A cultivator or a spreader;
He never rose at 3 at mom
To drive the horses from the corn;
He never even hoed tomaters
Or built a bridge, or bugged potatoes;
He never walked behind a plow
Or milked a wild and wooly cow;
He never wore out shoes and feet
A-keepin’ chinch bugs from the
wheat;
He never fought cutworms that chew
ed
His early com in manner rude;
He never had to work and strain
To finish hayin’ fore the rain;
He never worked 12 hours a day,
With stock, and grain, and beans, and
hay,
And do barn chores 2 hours more;
He never greased a wagon wheel,
Or argued with a planter reel;
He never ran a disk or harrow,
Or even pushed a farm wheel-barrow;
He never got a chicken coop
To nurse a hen that had the croup;
He never salved a bad-cut knee
That old Dan got while on a spree;
He never pared a work-horse hoof.
Or fixed a leaky comcrib roof;
He never drove a balky tractor
Or horse that was a wicked actor;
He never milked a cow in summer;
When flies had put her on the hum
mer;
He never had to haul the water
When wells went dry as days got
hotter;
He never fed his high-priced grain
To hogs that ailed and wouldn’t gain;
He never spent a lot of time
A-spreadin’ phosphorous or lime;
He never spent a day or so
A-walkin’ com fields row by row,
And droppin’ corn where corn was
not—
For squirrels the other corn had got;
He never trimmed hedge with a knife,
<3r cooked for seven when his wife
Was called to town to help Aunt Sue
Who had a slight attack of flu.
In fact this city dude, I’d bet
Had his first farm to visit yet;
And he would need help from his
mater
To drive the ducks down to the water!
