HAPPY HOLLOW FARM 157 



begun farming near us in the later years 

 haven't been hampered for money to spend on 

 equipment and they've spent it! It beats all 

 how much good money may be tied up in one 

 way and another when labor-saving becomes 

 an obsession. I'm rather glad we haven't had 

 all we might have liked to spend. We've 

 gotten along just as well, and we've learned 

 the worth of contriving. 



We're agreed on one fixed rule, though, Sam 

 and I: No mere lazy makeshift "goes."
