Letters of an Indiana Farmer 
The farmer went city visiting in Feb¬ 
ruary, secure iu the knowledge that Earl 
would guard the cellar from freezing, in 
case of a cold snap, and rescue the 
treasure trunk in case of a fire, and that 
I.ula would spoil the cats of both house¬ 
holds with fond impartiality. The cats 
throve, and there was no fire until—the 
morning after my return—the big chim¬ 
ney elected to furnish fireworks, perhaps 
by way of celebration! The wind was 
just right to safeguard the buildings, and 
we simply let it burn. The whole show 
was over in 10 minutes, but the old neigh¬ 
bor on the south came across fields to 
see if we needed help, for something has 
been the matter with our telephone line. 
That would be handy in case of sudden 
need of a doctor! However, only half 
a mile away, in two directions, are neigh¬ 
bors on different lines. And one doesn’t 
have to be so fearfully old to remember 
when there were no country ’phones. 
The cellar did need some attention— 
and got it. A cold wave descended, fol¬ 
lowing several days of rain. I was vis¬ 
iting in furnace-heated houses, much 
more evenly heated thau mine, but re¬ 
turned happily to my old fireplace and to 
my cave of blankets heated by a boiling- 
hot aluminum bottle. This was the city 
wherein I spent a few busy and not en¬ 
tirely unhappy years. The only thing 
about it that I covet now for a country 
home is steam heat with the boiler clear 
away from the dwelling, and run by some 
one whose sole business it is. Of course 
that cannot be, but it would surely reduce 
fire-worry to a minimum. 
Such interesting households, these of 
my old friends! There were the two 
teachers who share expenses of a house, 
but run their kitchens separately. One 
has a small orphan nephew, the other a 
wonderfully spry and young-spirited 85- 
year-old mother to lend domestic interest 
to the pedagogical days. Then there was 
the household of transplanted New Eng¬ 
landers, just developing their first own 
home, after years of renting. The father 
is a professor of chemistry, but also an 
inspector of nursery stock in the Sum¬ 
mers. and—purely as a side line—a 
world expert on diamonds! It is a never- 
failing marvel to see anybody so brilliant 
washing dishes and helping with the 
cooking. 
I found the new-old cherry table piled 
high with mail. There were boxes and 
boxes, mostly seeds, and one the white 
chess queen. I had had mended in Indian¬ 
apolis. Very rashly my parents allowed 
their only infant to have this fine carved 
bone set to play with, and the wonder is 
that any of the pieces survived. How¬ 
ever, besides a few minor injuries, there 
were only two casualties—a queen and a 
bishop lost their heads, as queens and 
bishops have been doing, anyway, for 
many years! 
Before this reaches print I hope to 
have a good beginning made in the gar¬ 
den. It is going to be harder than ever 
to find help this season, but on the other 
hand, I shall have two months’ start over 
last year. There will be a hotbed on a 
south slope near the house, but since it 
is my first it will be safer, probably, to 
run duplicate plantings of the most im¬ 
portant things in boxes in the house. 
There will be a plot for propagation 
of perennials in the fenced garden near 
the house. Three things I am looking 
forward to with extreme pleasure, and 
should feel terribly abused if I did not 
happen to live to see them—grapes from 
my grafted vines, Eilium regale from 
seed, and the great white California tree 
poppy, Romne.va Coulteri. This last is 
supposed to be bard to naturalize in 
Eastern gardens, yet a reliable Chicago 
seed house offers the seed without restric¬ 
tion or comment. Time will tell. 
All the squashes are to be kept in this 
“near” garden, away from the melons in 
the barn garden. Fried green squash 
was a novelty to “my family” when I 
introduced them last Fall, and also the 
small baked ones, more mature. Every¬ 
body liked them, even the cats, so there 
must be many more grown this year in 
succession plantings. We had that much 
named sort Acorn. Des Moines or Table 
Queen, with Delicious, for Winter pies. 
To these we will add Cocozelle Bush for 
green ones, and Cushaw and true Hub¬ 
bard for Winter. 
A recess fob the purpose of chasing 
hogs. 
Swine-herding is not supposed to be 
one of my jobs, but the creatures seem 
to have some diabolical way of knowing 
when I am alone on the ranch, and 
choose that time to find a weak place in 
the fence. Of course the model farm has 
no weak places—but Firlands has some 
distance to go before reaching the model 
class. One Sunday, in particular, was 
very hard. The folks were away. I cut 
my finger on a can top in getting dinner 
and burnt my arm quite badly taking a 
pie out of the oven. It was an extra nice 
pie. and I was hungry. The coffee had 
just begun to “perk.” when I looked out 
and saw eight or 10 swine promenading 
in forbidden precincts. They would not 
all drive at once; if three went one way, 
six went another. Oh. well—it’s funny 
now. but it had a tendency to curdle the 
disposition of the boss. E. M. c.
