Pulling Fodder Some Insects Good Fodder Pull- t.r ers xeb Vance's 8aece;' :'l Bill Arp to the Atlanta Constitution - PULLING FODDER. Of all the months in the year, Au gust ia , the moBt unsatisfactory. It ain't Bummer and it ain't fall. If it's Cii ' r , t j i i "w,?.u u iu.S 6uu, i uUU inow if unless it s for noor folks to null fod der ana ncn ioiks io go io me springs. T) nn it1! Artt It'a ml ,A J . It'n "wet and it's dry. It's hot and damp and 'chilly; The' woods look heavy and dull. The corn is a dingy green, and the rag weeds which cover the wheat fields have gone to seed and look sick ly and sanctified. Almost every day there is & shower, and then a blistering sun, and the steam that foil era takes all the starch out of a man and bis beast. The curse, of Adam oozes out at every pore all day and . by night-time the dumb ager cornea along and shakes you up a few, and nex.t, smornin' you ;feel like you haven'jt been to bed, the chil dren have got the epizoot and it takes adozenhankerchiefa a day for 'em, and everybody is cross,, and the quinine is out, and the bread won't, rise, and the hogs git in the garden, and everything goes wrong and nobody knows who done it. SOME INSECTS. Well, the boys have been pullin' a little fodder just to see how the busi nees worked upon the muscles, and they cutti i home, salty and chaffy and mad. On'f,6f 'em got stung with adeyil's pack saddle) and the other cut his hand with a fodder blade, and now they say it damages the corn to strip it and it is too high to null, and what thev do null will all be ruined before it's cured, and jf they must pull they. want some buck- alrtn olnvpa t.n nnll in I wonder if Harris ever saw a Daek- HaddlP. Well, ita an mittv as a rainhnw just like most all of the devil s contriv ances, and when you crowd One of 'em on a fodder-blade you'd think that forty yaller jackets had stung you all in a bunch and with malice aforethought. And there's the devil's racehorse which f lies around about this time and, Uncle sam says, chaws tobakker like a gen tlemen and i he spit in your eyes youd go blind in a half a second. And one day he showed me the devil's darning needle which winds up the old feller's sfockins, ; and the devil's snuff box which explodes when you mash it and one ounce of the stuff inside will kill a sound mule before he can lay down. Then there's some flowers that he wears in his button hole called the devil's shoestring and the devil in the bush, but his chief instruments on this mun dane sphere are called the devil's Ad vocates. Accordin' to the book they used to be officers of the Spanish in quisition who were hired to go about and slander heretics. They got so much attached to the bisness that although the inquisition and the here tics are dead they are keeping it up without pay by slanderin anybody and everybody that ge's in the devil's way. GOOD FODDER PULLERS. Well, I believe in fodder. Ramey says it is the very best ruflhess in the world, and there's nothing better for a milk cow, and I've wished a heap of times that some Yankee would in vent a macheen to pull it, and tie it, and hang it up on the corn. It s an awful long and stretchy bisness. The boys experimented a little on stilts like they used, to play circus, but the ground was too soft.. Une leg would run down a foot, and a trying to pull her out, they would fall around gener ally and break down all the corn in ten feet of 'em. " I 'wish I had about five good hands about - seven feet high apiece lust for this partikler bisness It's just what some of these tall saplins was made for. but they don t know it. ThereVmy frend Harris, of the Home Courier, would make a splendid nana ; and there's Judge Bleckley and-' Gov Brown, and friend Hanks, and Bob Pari, of the State of Dade. I'll invite 'em over to a free pulling. I would like to see whtch one could stretch the highest in my bottom corn, and watch 'em jump when a pack saddle struck 'em. Well, its an honest business though aggravatin at times, and I expect most evervbodv has done, things oi more doubtful propriety. . ,. ZEB VANCE used to pull a heap of fodder when be was lectioneering, and it paid, and I thought may be a candidate would come along soon and help us out. jxo one-arm man need apply, for ne couldent earn hisxations,' but may be we'll find use for him after awhile. Its a wonder to me that the Radicals don't vote for Luster.for you see he couldent hurt Conklm or anybody else very, pad in a fight. If he diaent have nary arm I know they would go for him, and I've freauently thought what a mild, a peaceable body Congress would be if all their arms were off. But may be not, for the devil will git into a man some- fimoa ormi nr no n.rmn. unH I rftnknn thev would go to hunchin and bnttin OT0UI1d and paw dirt like tbe bulls of Bashan. Don't you?
