Pa would go to the house and come out with his ride and brass powder flask with the measuring device. "I expect you'd better go in the house for a while, Homer." I was glad to. for I couldn't bear to see what was going to happen. . . . Inside the house there was a tenseness, a lowering of voices. One of the women, who had come to help my mother, would look out the window and say, "They're In the hog lot now." They would try to talk neighborhood news, but it would be in subdued voices and there'd be silences. Then my mother would begin to whet a knife on a crock. Suddenly, sharp and clear on the winter air, would come a shot . . . then the sound of a man running, and I would know he had a knife in his hand and it would seem to me I just couldn't live through the next few moments. There would be another shot, and another . . . three hogs now. Then there would be a feeling of relief, for we all knew this was the last. The women would begin to talk again, but a little too fast. I would open the door; the smell of powder would still be on the air. The men would come dragging one of the hogs by the forelegs to the sled, and in a few moments the animal would be in the scalding water rind the men would go "Hueh!" all together so as to get the right timing for the animal to slosh up and down in the barrel. Pa would take some of the hair between his thumb and finger and give it a pull. "One more time, boys. At last the animals would be dressed and hanging on the gambrels. The worst part of butchering would be over, for it didn't seem so bad now as it had when the hogs were alive and the men were advancing in the lot. The faintness I had felt would be gone and Id be thinking about the good eating that was coming. And sod everybody else. Lots of talk, now, about eating. As the meat was being cut, the women would strip the casings, turn them inside out, scrape them, and put them to soak in salt water. Sausage making was best of all. Mostly lean meat trimmed from the hams and shoulders and some from the tenderloin. When it was ready, the grinder would be brought and everybody would gather around, as if it was the opening of a circus. My mother was the one who fed the meat into the grinder and I was the one who had to turn the damned thing. On a chair, beside her, would be the salt and pepper in bowls, but the sage was in the bag it was cured in. My mother was proud of her ability to mix the seasonings just right. She knew the amount of sage to put in; if too much went in, it gave the sausage an old taste. At last the day would be over, and the neighbors, each with a piece of fresh meat, would be starting home. The house, which had been so full of excitement, would seem lonely. Everywhere would be the peculiar, unpleasant smell of fresh meat. The casings would be stacked in the pantry, so they wouldnt freeze, and I would forget about them. Then some morning, about two weeks later, as I would be coming back from helping with the chores there would be a perfectly captivating smell hanging on the air the smell of frying sausage! There would be Ma, when I opened the door, bending over the stove. She would take the lid off the skillet, turn the cakes over with a fork, then put the lid back on again. The smell would get more and more enthralling and I'd get hungrier and hungrier. At last breakfast would be ready. There in the center of the table would be the redolent, brown cakes. Wed all take one me pretty fast and Ma would look at Pa and say, Pa "How do you like it, Amos? would eat a moment, then say, 'Fine! You got just about the right amount of seasoning." Then hed look at me in that sly way of his and say. Homer, do you think youll be able to masticate a bit of it?" After this first inspection, Ma would pass the buckwheat cakes and I would cut a slice of honey, cakes and let it spread it over the On top of this run down the sides. I would put my slin king mound knife across sausage, then haul my and mix sausage and buckwheat I tell you and honey nil up t gether. it was eood! a ltt Encloee Address.

It wouldn't be long till on he would have a m them. Usually, when a farmer wanted to break a mule, he would take him to the back pasture so he could swing on a line and make him run in a circle. But nothing so common as this would do for Newt Kennedy. When it began to chill up in the autumn, he would say to me. Homer. are you going to be doin' anything Thursday morning?"

I took It down to Mr. Jenkins, who bought for a fur house In St Louis, and aold it My father was a "cattle" farmer. Mr, Knabb was a "hog" farmer, Newt Kennedy was a "mule man. for even In our neighborhood we specialized. There were many other mule men, but none like Newt Kennedy, who got tun even out of mules. Most farmers, when they wanted to "break" a mule, gingerly hitched him up with an old mar who could be got Into a trot only by determined effort, and let the mule lunge and kick and prance beside the faithful old mare. But not Newtt Newt got his fun out of the very thing that others dreaded. He liked to break, mules; more than that, he looked forward to time, as children do to circus time. But that wasn't all At noon that day when I opened up my dinner bucket at achool there would be a package with grease spots showing through the brown paper a cold sausage cake. It wouldn't be as brown, and it wouldn't have the lovely smell it had at breakfast, but It still good. It always would be good; nothing could keep it from being good. I wish 1 had aome how right this moment! Newt Kennedy waa our neighborhood correspondent for the weekly, and. L r the items he sent In. he received the paper free of charge. Newt was a trifle weak on grammar, but he was strong on what people liked to read, and always, in everything he wrote, was this undercurrent of humor which I loved and which influenced me so much. He e signed himself "The Farmer," which, of course, made everybody laugh, for no one could run a farm with one horse. This was another way of saying "The Bottom of the Heap." Of course Newt wasn't, but it was good fun to pretend he was. Newt didn't merely send in who was sick and who was visiting and that tramps had broken in the schoolhouse again, but sent in comments and humorous philosophy. Each week, when we got the paper, the first thing I turned to was the Cray hay-fram- Easily Mixed. Needs No Cooking.

It was understood 1 was to say nothing to anyone, for Newts mule methods were frowned on. They weeks a might like him fifty-on- e week they year, but had no use at all for him. I would go out the back way, so as to appear to be about my work (a suspicious item) and cut across the fields to Newts. I could see the mules even before I got there, for they would be running around in the barn lot, the wildest things on And four legs, and the trickiest. the smartest, too, for a mule is miles ahead of a horse in horse sense.

He did something of value to the township, for he conceived the idea we ought to have plays, and set about getting them up in the same joyous, boyish way he went into anything that had fun in it. These were put on in the Wilcox School which was bigger than the Knabb School. There was no door in the end of the room which was to be the stage, but that was all right; a window was used. The women made a curtain, and the boys and girls began to study their lines. When the time came, that wonderful opening night, Newt, all dressed up in his good clothes, stepped out in front of the n and said the opening number would be a tableau entitled The curtain The Setting Sun. whizzed along the galvanized clothes line and there, sitting on a box, was one of the neighborhood boys. It took us some moments to see through it, but when we did we thought it was about the funniest thing wed ever heard of. Well, those plays were a tremendous success, judged by our standards, and brought us immense satisfaction. Newt could be plenty serious. He would sit up with the sick and, in some strange way was amazingly tender with them, this rough giant of a man. When one of our neighbors died. Newt was the first person to put a shovel over his shoulder and start toward the cemetery. The second time my name was ever in print. Newt Kennedy put it there. I tried to earn money for myself by having a line of traps in the slough, and one day I found a long, strange, perfectly white creature. as big around as a buggy whip handle, in a steel trap. The neighbors came in to see it. e Farmer came When the out that week this item was in it: Homer Croy has captured a white weasel. I was delighted. I was thrilled! It had never occurred to me that I e Farmer, would be in the but th'-r- e I was for all the world to draw-curtai- y One-Hors- One-Hors- see! j j 1 thought over and over why he had used the word "captured" instead of trapped," for I was coming more and more to love words; and to be a little awed by the thrill with them. ing things one could do "I thought maybe youd like to help me break, he would say and we would go to the horse lot where the mules were racing around and around with their heads as high as giraffes. Newt would stand there, his arms on the fence, looking them over, as a fisherman might look over a trout he was going to have his way with. The thing was to get a rope around the neck of one of them. Newt would approach with a rope held behind him, and suddenly send it looping through the air, like a cowboy. If the rope landed, it was hell. Newt and I would have to sink our heels in the ground and hang on for dear life. Of course the mule couldnt go out of the lot, so we would stand in the middle, like a ringmaster at a circus, and let the mule run 'round and 'round. After a time we'd get him into a chute that Newt had for the purpose and leave him, as Newt said, to think it over," and then go back for another mule. This one usually would be in harness and considered partly broken. Newt would not have dreamed of putting an old plug-uglplow horse in to break a mule with. Newt wanted to get fun out of his work. After a time wed have the partly second mule in, and broken snubbed; then wed go back to the first mule and Newt would pretend he loved that mule. Hed stroke his nose and talk to him in honeyed words, but Newt had something behind his back. The twitch. This was a stick as long as a persons arm, with a loop of rope at the end. Newt would get the loop over the mules upper lip and twist it tight, and pass the stick to me. The mules head would go down and his heels up. But usually I could hold him, in spite of all the ideas he had on the subject. Newt would creep up with a collar and slip it over his neck. Bit by bit he would get the harness on the mule and then the harness on the second mule. Then would come the tremendous job of getting the mules to a wagon tongue. Only Newt could do that, sometimes with soothing wbrds; sometimes with threats that, if he had under- stood them, would have made the mules blood turn to ice water. In some superhuman way, Newt would get both those mules on a wagon and then I would be sent to open the gate to the public road! No back pasture for Newt Some of the neighbors even broke mules on plowed ground hitched to a drag. But not Newt Kennedy. He wanted to extract every possible morsel of fun from it. Fun that made the j neighbors think he was crazy. TO PE CONTINUED) ' , Dont risk driving on snowy, slippery roads without the protection of Weed Chains its too hard to get a new car.
