4509in gardens?
4509nuts grafted on wild trees?
4509partridge berries?
11555And why should we not care to do so?
11555But what ails her?
11555But what it is that? 11555 But,"said I,"what sort of place do we really mean to take?"
11555Have you any houses to let at such a distance from town, with such a quantity of land, such a number of rooms?
11555Have you got a card from Mr.--?
11555Is it far?
11555Then why not take it at one?
11555Well, then, who will buy a cow that is sure to be dead to- morrow or next day?
11555Well,said the writer,"why not make the butter yourself, till you can suit yourself with a new servant?"
11555Well,we asked,"what does it depend on?"
11555What have we made?
11555What of that?
11555Where can we hope to find a house which will be suitable for ourselves, six children, and a small income?
11555Where shall we live?
11555Why, George, what can the pony want with sugar?
11555& c."Oh, yes madam,"said the smiling clerk, and immediately opened a large ledger;"what rent do you propose giving?"
11555And after all, what have you made by your butter- making, pig- killing, and fowl- slaughtering?"
11555But now arose a difficulty which had not previously occurred to us: Who was to make it?
11555Have any of our readers ever seen the densely- loaded wagons which enter that market?
11555Here H. stopped him saying,"Pray, Mr. N., did you not purchase your children a pony, and did it not catch cold and die in a month afterwards?
11555I.--WHERE SHALL WE LIVE?
11555Must we give it up?
11555Now what could I complain of?
11555WHERE SHALL WE LIVE?
11555We inquired, Why?
11555What in the world could that mean?
11555What shall we not make now that we have more stock, our ground well cropped, and, better still, have gained so much experience?"
11555What were we to do?
11555Where, indeed?"
11555cried I;"how much do you intend to give a- year for all these conveniences:""How much?"
11555get the staircases fixed, the doors and windows put in, the walls papered and painted?"
11555must we give up all hope of eating our own butter, and regard the money as lost which we had just expended for the churn, etc.?
35696But how shall we obtain fertilizers?
35696Then why not leave them the field?
35696--"But would n''t you have a young man study in order that he may become a good farmer?"
35696A thousand?
35696And how shall any one be enlightened and assured on the point, unless by the aid of Science?
35696But how?
35696Can we doubt that this steady recession of our Egypt, our Hungary, is destined to continue?
35696Five hundred?
35696He who has a farm already, and is content with it, has no reason to ask,"Whither shall I go?"
35696How can we have good Fairs, if those who might make the best display of products save themselves the trouble by not making any?
35696How many tuns of earth ought a farmer to be obliged to turn over and over in order to obtain therefrom a hundred bushels of Corn?
35696How nearly have we realized this?
35696If he does the best he can, what better_ can_ he do?
35696If so, at what profit?
35696If the produce is sold, most farmers know how much it brings; but how many know how much it cost?
35696Most farmers fail to keep accounts with their several fields and crops; yet what could be more instructive than these?
35696Of course, he must improve and enrich it; but with what?
35696Ought we to do it?
35696Say the Corn brings 75 cents per bushel, and the Oats 50 cents: was either or both produced at a profit?
35696Shall not all who can do so at moderate cost resolve to test on their own farms the advantages and benefits that may be secured by Irrigation?
35696Shall not these things be considered?
35696The good farmer begins by inquiring,"Wherein was my soil originally deficient?
35696Then why did they not try?
35696Two hundred?
35696WILL FARMING PAY?
35696Why should not our Atlantic slope have its Lombardy?
35696Will Farming Pay?
35696Will it Pay?
35696Will it pay?

17683But where was this one to appear?
17683But, supposing him to have got this sound animal; what has he got?
17683By the way, how is your store coming on?
17683By the way, where are the poor deluded woodchucks, muskrats, and Old Settlers, who told us we were to bask in mild etherialness all winter long?
17683By the way, you are getting up a report of this grand assembly, I suppose?"
17683Could Harry White be a cattle thief?
17683How d''do, Mr. Blank?

17683How much did you make for your share?"
17683How will we propagate this valuable race of the cherry?
17683Is it not by the invaluable aid of men who have given their whole lives to the solution of some special problem?
17683Is not the expert swine- grower the successful man?
17683It plainly indicated to these observers that some important event was impending, and what could be more important than the birth of a great man?
17683Now brother farmers, I have moved the adoption of appropriate names for every farm in the land; who will second the motion?

12140What?
12140Where, then, Axius, do you wish me to begin?
12140Would you think it possible,said Fundanius,"for any thing to grow in such a region, and, if it did grow, how could it be cultivated?
12140You who have travelled over many lands,said he,"have you seen any country better cultivated than Italy?"
12140[ 68]But,"said Fundanius,"suppose I inherited a farm like that, what should I do to avoid the malady you describe?"
12140And who does not know the fame of the fish ponds of Philippus, of Hortensius, and of the brothers Lucullus?

12140Is it an art, and, if so, what are its principles and its purposes?"

26975A perennial question in agricultural education is: What is the function of the agricultural college?
26975And if he can, is he to be an aristocrat, a landlord, a captain of industry, and to bear rule over the mossback?
26975And is the tribe of mossbacks destined to increase and become a caste of permanent tenants or peasants?
26975And the test question is, Will this line of work yield me the growth, the culture, I desire?
26975And where is Hesperia?
26975And why not?
26975Are there not for them some of the blessings that come from a highly organized society?
26975Are there not, in the country also, opportunities for the co- operation of mind and heart for common service?
26975At the outset the queries may arise, What is meant by rural social science?
26975But do they differ in this respect from their cousins of the town?
26975But have not the women of the country some resources of a similar character?
26975But have we yet reached the heart of the question?
26975But if every country pastor can not have a social- service church, is it not possible that every country church shall have a social- service pastor?
26975But in his heart of hearts he ponders the deeper questions: What may I become in real intellectual and moral worth?
26975But is it insoluble?
26975But is the charge wholly just?
26975But the burden of the suggestion at this point is this: Can not the churches unite sufficiently for a thorough religious and sociological canvass?
26975But what are the elements that yield culture to an individual?
26975But what of that?
26975CHAPTER V CULTURE FROM THE CORN LOT[2] The question of questions that the college student asks himself is, What am I going to be?
26975Can I extract culture from the corn lot?
26975Can it announce, in sound terms, its proposed group policy?
26975Can it develop efficient leaders?
26975Can it lend the group influence to genuine social progress?
26975Can not the Granges of New England profitably co- operate more fully?
26975Can the farming class secure and maintain a fairly complete organization?
26975Can the new farmer maintain the same relative social status?
26975Can they not in some way break the bonds of isolation?
26975Could not boards of agriculture co- operate to some extent, especially in farmers''institute work with general plans and ideas?
26975Do they stunt or encourage the inner life?
26975Does not the price of wheat mean as much to the hard- working grower as to the broker who may never see a grain of it?
26975Does not this discussion at least show the supreme importance of the question?
26975Does one say, this is asking too much of the burdened country pastor with his meager salary and widespread parish?
26975How can rural teachers learn to appreciate the social function of the rural school, except they be taught?
26975How can this co- operation be brought about?
26975How far can this idea be developed in the country school?
26975How is this man to be reached, inspired, instructed?
26975How large a man, measured by the divine standards, will it be possible for me to grow into?
26975If they can not federate on a theological platform, can they not unite on a statistical platform?
26975If they can not unite for religious work, can they not join hands long enough to secure a more intelligent basis for their separate work?
26975In view of the facts which have been given, I think if one were asked to give a direct answer to the question, Is the farmer keeping up?
26975Is he not indeed the logical candidate for general social leadership in the rural community?
26975Is not Ben Bolt''s new top buggy as legitimate a topic for discussion as is Arthur John Smythe''s new automobile?
26975Is the ambition to own a fine farm more ignoble than the desire to own shares in a copper mine?
26975Is the country continually gaining in those things that are fundamentally important and that minister to its best life?
26975Is the farm problem one of technique plus business skill, plus these broad economic considerations?
26975Is the idea of a genuine New England fair a mere dream?
26975Is there any good reason why this ambition is not worthy, or why its goal should not be won?
26975It may be asked, How does the order manage to advocate public measures without becoming involved in partisan squabbles?
26975Know what?
26975Let me ask if the pastor has any other road to power except_ to know_?
26975May not the grove at Turtle Lake yield as keen enjoyment as do the continental forests?
26975Shall we not all work together for the betterment both of the farm and of the farmer?
26975So the question will arise, Can he get any help from education in the handling of the business phases of his farm?
26975The surface query is, What am I going to_ do_?
26975WHAT IS THE FARM PROBLEM?
26975What are his tools?
26975What are some of these regular agencies?
26975What are these needs?
26975What classes of people may be expected to welcome and profit by instruction of this character?
26975What does this adaptation consist in?
26975What is it that makes the new farmer?
26975What results have I been able to discover growing out of this work?
26975What shall be his attitude toward them?
26975What was my ideal in organizing such associations?
26975Who is he?
26975Will agriculture as a business, will the farm life and environment, contribute to the growth which I desire for myself?
26975Will not the farmers rally themselves to and league themselves with the men who are trying to forward the best interests of the farm?
26975Yet would we expect from either system the same social fruitage that has been harvested from our American yeomanry?
26975and, What is there to be investigated and taught under such a head?
38955And do you regard your cure as permanent?
38955But did n''t they try to relieve your miseries?
38955But how can these be discovered?
38955But how did you finally recover?
38955Butter? 38955 Can you hit the lady for the gentleman, Johnny?"
38955Come, Willie; why, what''s the matter? 38955 Consulted them?
38955During your residence here have you experienced the bad results of living in this climate?
38955Have you any more of that prime Scotch ale?
38955How old are you, my son?
38955How will it end?
38955How?
38955Is this what you came to tell me?
38955Judging from your recital, Mr. Ashley, there must be wonderful curative properties about this medicine?
38955Of course you consulted the doctors regarding your difficulty?
38955Pa, I have signed the pledge,said a little boy to his father, on coming home one evening;"will you help me keep it?"
38955Tell me, to what bills do you refer?
38955To go back to the original subject, Mr. Ashley, I suppose you see the same familiar faces about the lobby session after session?
38955Uncle, when sis sings in the choir Sunday nights, why does she go behind the organ and taste the tenor''s mustache?
38955Was it not an idea?
38955Was that not better than this?
38955Well, I have brought a copy of the pledge; will you sign it, papa?
38955Well, you wo n''t ask me to pass the bottle, papa?
38955What do you think of it? 38955 What have you to drink?"
38955What proportion of these blood- bills are successful?
38955Where''s the ale, Willie?
38955Why?
38955You do not regard the lobby, as a body, vicious, do you?
38955You remember Frank Dobb, who belonged to our old Pen and Pencil Club, and who ran away from that Cuban wife of his just before I left home? 38955 ''Is this a question,''said he,''from a man like you? 38955 ''Were there not of old,''said I,''many great manufacturers in this city?'' 38955 A nice life for a fellow to lead, eh?
38955Are there any which do not blight?
38955Ashley?"
38955Ashley?"
38955But he slipped his hands into his pockets, looked appealingly at McGilp, and said, shrugging his shoulders,"You see how it is, Mac?"
38955But how is this to be accomplished?
38955But, Captain, do n''t you suppose there were giants there long ago, in the former generations?
38955Can Congress longer hesitate in this matter of providing an efficient law for protection from contagious animal diseases?
38955Can not THE PRAIRIE FARMER start a boom that will lead to the establishment of an Arbor Day all over the State?
38955Can you give me the facts?
38955DR. J. F. SCHLIEMAN, HARTFORD, WIS.--Are there any works on the cultivation of the blueberry, and if so could you furnish the same?
38955Dilly- dally Dilly, How can you be so slow?
38955Do you know of any parties that cultivate them?
38955Do you know, Mr. X., that I never knew he had been married till after he had fled?
38955Finally, said he, What has that got to do with my question about buying cattle and sheep at the stock yards?
38955H. HARRIS, HOLT''S PRAIRIE, ILL.--Will it do to tile drain land which has a hard pan of red clay twelve to eighteen inches below the surface?
38955Had the other woman tired of him already?
38955How many of those people became customers?
38955How would you class it?
38955I asked myself, or was it really true, as his father had told me, that he had fled alone?
38955I demanded of a peasant, who was reaping grain on the sands of the sea- shore, how long ago this change took place?
38955Is not blue grass pasture the best thing I can give my hogs?
38955Know ye not that cities are not now part of the human economy?
38955L. C. LEANIARTT(?)
38955Might n''t the former race have been giants?
38955Now why could we not make some use of this grass, and of others, such as quack- grass, which defy so persistently all our efforts to destroy them?
38955Now, Puddin'', you can blow those things pretty straight, ca n''t you?"
38955Professor-- And I suppose you know something about the Patagonians and their habits?
38955Professor-- But how could you know that they used not to be giants?
38955Professor-- But how did you satisfy yourself?
38955Professor-- How did you ascertain this fact, Captain?
38955Professor-- I wanted to ask you, Captain, about the size of the Patagonians-- whether they are giants, as travelers have reported?
38955Shall I follow the directions you gave Mr. Perkins in THE PRAIRIE FARMER, February 9?
38955The father was deeply moved, and turning to his brother- officers, he said:"Gentlemen, do you hear that?
38955The point upon which I beg leave to differ from the gentleman is, should a farmer have a smattering idea of everything pertaining to farming?
38955This is all there is of it; simple, is it not?
38955What could I do when my brother- officers called-- the father had been in the army-- if I was a teetotaler?"
38955What do you say?
38955What else could I reply than,"Why do you lead it then?"
38955What evidence could you get?
38955What is the phylloxera, and what shall I do to my grape vines if they infest the roots?
38955What is your name, my son?"
38955What must we do?
38955What pears would you recommend for this latitude?
38955Why continue the tale?
38955Why do n''t Bismarck try this home remedy for his complication of gout and trichinà ¦?
38955Why do n''t you try To be more spry, And not dilly- dally so?
38955Why not?
38955Why?
38955Will it be necessary to keep them out till the grass gets a good start?
38955Will you please regard this as a kind of an introduction into your"association?"
38955Willie, have you your temperance pledge?"
38955You remember Frank left some things in my care when he went away?
12000But how am I to know the gentleman?
12000Do you ne''er think what wondrous beings these? 12000 What thou art we know not; What is most like thee?
12000A New Englander, favorably impressed with the process, would be likely to answer these questions by another, and ask, will_ drainage_ pay?

12000Did they stand for things, qualities, or persons?
12000Did your fancy, in its wildest fictions, ever pass such an image across the speculum of your mental vision?

12000Looking across the circumference of the individual soul, what says this law?
12000On what ground?

16900DRAINS How can we get rid of this surplus free water?
16900Do these plants in any way resemble one another?
16900Do they have any influence over the conditions which are favorable or unfavorable to plant growth?

16900How shall I plant seeds so as to help them sprout easily and grow into strong plants?
16900If so, can we control them in their action for the benefit or injury of plants?
16900If the soil of our farm is largely clay, what happens to the rain that falls on it?
16900In answer to the question,"Why is this?"
16900Is a knowledge of these facts we have learned about roots of any value to the farmer?
16900Is free water good for the roots of farm plants?
16900Is it of any value to the plant grower to know these facts about leaves?
16900Is this fact of any value to the farmer?
16900Many times the questions will be asked: Why did n''t those seeds come up?
16900Now is it possible that soil water may be lost or wasted and if so can we check the loss?
16900Now what is the relation of the different kinds of soil toward heat or what are their relative powers to absorb and hold heat?
16900Now why is this?
16900Of what value is it to the farmer to know that many of the roots of his farm plants come very near the surface of the soil?
16900Of what value is it to the farmer to know that the roots of farm plants penetrate to depths of five or six feet in the soil?
16900Or where does the root grow in length?
16900Or which soils will keep moist longest in dry weather?
16900SOURCES OF SOIL WATER From what sources does the soil receive water?
16900The next thing to find out is: What conditions are necessary for the root to do its work?
16900The question was this: Of what value is it to the farmer to know that roots enter the soil to a depth of three to six feet?
16900The second question,"How deep do the roots penetrate the soil?"
16900Then, in studying our plants, which part shall we study first?
16900To the first question,"In what part of the soil are most of the roots?"
16900WHY DO WE SPADE AND PLOW?
16900What are the reasons for these facts?
16900What becomes of this moisture?
16900What can we do for our clay soils to help them to absorb the rain more rapidly?
16900What can we do for our sandy soils to give them greater power to take moisture from below?
16900What can we do for our sandy soils to help them to hold better the moisture which falls on them and tends to leach through them?
16900What effect will such a system have on the conditions necessary for plant growth?
16900What has become of the fresh air that was in the bottles when the seeds were put in them?
16900What is plant food?
16900What is the effect on plant food in the soil?
16900When all is ready we will study the root system of each plant and answer these four questions: In what part of the soil are most of the roots?
16900Where does this come from?
16900Where does this come from?
16900Which do you think is the most important group?
16900Which part of any or all of these farm plants is of greatest importance to the plant itself?
16900Which soils have greatest power to hold the water which enters them?

43844Is it not beautiful?
43844Is there not the summer of St. John to come yet?
43844Lady,said she to the Lady of Bearne,"did you ever see your father?"
43844Monsieur,he said,"is an artist, or a poet?"
43844Niniche,said the patriarch,"what does Monsieur Tetard do when he comes home late?"
43844Or was it not,I asked, with hazy reminiscences of Juvenal floating about me,--"was it not a certain sewer-- the Cloaca Maxima, perhaps?"
43844Rather unruly, I should suppose?
43844That is a beautiful scarf,I said to the girl next me;"how much will they give you for making it?"
43844The Landes people have, or had, other queer notions, as well as the witch ones?
43844Tohua- Cohoa,he said;"it has a_ sacré tonnerre_ of a barbarous sound; has it any meaning?"
43844Was water made to weave cloth?
43844Well, and if you are, what then, eh? 43844 Well, now, did they ever do any harm to you?"
43844What do you do with them?
43844What do you think of that?
43844What harvest? 43844 What made him think so?"
43844Who are you?
43844Why so? 43844 Why so?"
43844Will you pay me?--ay or no?
43844You mean the Mediterranean?
43844Your niece,said the baron,"who comes hither from the town of Bordeaux to visit you, and whom I saw but yester even,--has she returned?"
43844_ Mais, monsieur_, where should they come from, but from the sea?
43844''Will you let me try?''
43844Ah, well, what is this poor unhappy world coming to?"
43844And meantime what was Jaques Fort doing in his new ship?
43844And, after all, what could be expected?
43844And, even if they were emblems, was not the point at issue the best gift-- not the best allegorical symbol?
43844As I was getting out, M. Martin stopped me:"Wait,"he said,"and we will drive into the house-- don''t you see how big the door is?"
43844As Quin used to say,"Anybody drink port?
43844As we talked, he inquired whether I were not a foreigner-- an Englishman-- and, with some hesitation, but with great eagerness-- a Protestant?
43844But what claim has it to beauty?
43844But who-- our friends the Russians, and their cousins the Esquimaux excepted-- could possibly be jolly over the idea of oil?
43844Can you see a valley or a ravine just over the olive there?
43844Could I believe my eyes?
43844Could it set without a sub- prefect?
43844Could the planets shine on France unless they were furnished with passports for the firmament?
43844Could the rain on France unless each drop came armed with the_ visé_ of some wonderful bureau or other?
43844Could the sun rise without a prefect?
43844Did you ever see such odd fish?
43844Do you know the meaning of Masdeu?
43844Do you wish sweet liqueur wines from Italy and the Levant?
43844Do you wish to make new Claret old?
43844How comes this?
43844However-- were there many handloom weavers like himself in England?
43844I asked again, then, how the poor people remained in such a hot- bed of pestilence?
43844I was not a native of this part of France?
43844Learn Basque, indeed!--_Mon Dieu, monsieur!_ Do n''t you know that the Devil once tried, and was obliged to give it up for a bad job?
43844No?
43844Not a native of France at all?
43844Now, I would put this question to Olympus:--How could the olive or the horse be emblems before they were created?
43844Now, what must be the common sense of a country which permits, for one instant, the continuance of this wretched little tyrannical humbug?
43844Of course I knew her?
43844Our wine-- bah!--what is it?
43844Perhaps from across the sea?
43844The Baron Armand turned to Klosso:"Does he speak truth?"
43844The Breton, who shot extraordinary well with a cross- bow, says to him,''Would you like to have that porter killed at a shot?''
43844The diligences had stopped running for the season; but what of that?
43844The people of Nismes and Montpellier were afraid of the fever; and even if they were not, why should they come there?
43844Then I came from some place far away?
43844Then recovering himself, he inquired triumphantly whether I meant to say that the process of grinding corn was like the process of weaving cloth?
43844Then the cavalier, trembling with anxiety, exclaimed:"What fountain is this?"
43844Then why did not the farmers use spade- husbandry?
43844Was the house shut up?
43844Well, then, how could the vintage begin until the people, who know nothing about the vintage, command it?
43844Were they not all French?--all the children of a king of France?
43844What could they find to occupy them among these drear pine- woods?
43844What harvest?"
43844What should the tide of progress or of improvement do in these deserts of pine and sand?
43844What thief, who had not made a vow of voluntary starvation, or who had not a morbid taste for living upon resin, would ever have ventured among them?
43844What was one to do?
43844What would France be without_ les autorités_?
43844Where have you seen such a landscape before?
43844Where, indeed, in France will you not?
43844Who built these gloriously fretted Gothic towers, rising high into the air, and sentinelled by so many minor steeples?
43844Who could resist this last attraction?
43844Who was the doughty warrior, thus resting in his mail?
43844Who will give us francs?
43844Who would have the heart to prescribe cold political economy in such a case?
43844cried the baron;"but who is the rascal with her?"
43844did they weave by water- power there, too?
43844said Armand;"you come without being called?"
43844said he of Bordeaux;"you do n''t expect to find French in this chaos?
43844said the baron;"and to whom?"
43844were the folks as bad as some of the people in his country?
43844what is that?"
43844what see I?"
32863Can she_ bake_?
32863What,says the cottager,"has all this to do with hogs and bacon?"
32863_ Can you milk?_He could not; but_ would learn_!
32863And how, then, is it possible, that unwholesomeness should distil from the udder of a cow?
32863And is not a fourth, or even an eighth, part of this weight, sufficient to go down the throats of a family in a year?
32863And now, how are these to be had_ upon the same ground that bears_ the cabbages?
32863And ought not this to be a lesson to fathers and mothers of families?
32863And what is the_ result_?
32863And what is there worthy of the name of_ plague_, or_ trouble_, in all this?
32863And what should we see at last, if this infernal THING could continue for only a few years longer?
32863And whence does it come?
32863And, pray, what can be pleasanter to_ behold_?
32863And, shall a starving man be hanged, then, if he take a loaf to save himself from dying?
32863And_ why_ are they not to be deemed unmerciful?
32863Are there twenty- two square miles covered with the Wen''s market gardens?
32863Are we not to despise a_ thief_?
32863Beset with wants, having a mind continually harassed with fears of starvation, who can act with energy, who can calmly think?
32863Besides this, however, why should we not_ export_ the articles of this manufacture?
32863But has not Nature made the country girls as pretty as ladies?
32863But, after all, what need had we of any_ authorities_?
32863But, at any rate, is the salary of the"ASSISTANT OVERSEER"necessary?
32863But, how stands these matters now?
32863But, if a_ part_ of the ancient law remain, shall not the_ whole_ of it remain?
32863But, if such be her state in the house of an employer, what is her state in the house of a_ husband_?
32863But, was it_ possible_ to believe this?
32863But, why so good, so generous, to FELONS?
32863Can any man, who knows any thing of the labourer''s life, deny this?
32863Can any reasonable creature believe, that, to save the soul, God requires us to give up the food necessary to sustain the body?
32863Can it be_ religion_ to regard as blessings those things, those very things, which God expressly numbers amongst his curses?
32863Can not that be dispensed with?
32863Did Saint Paul preach this?
32863FIRST, where are_ we_ to get the_ Indian Meal_?
32863He, who, while he spread the gospel abroad,_ worked himself_, in order to have it to give to those who were unable to work?
32863How should it be otherwise?
32863How should they?
32863How, then, are they to contend against Irish butter and Dutch butter and cheese?
32863How, then, are we to reconcile this with_ morality_?
32863How, then, could the Wen be supplied, if it required_ ten rods_ to each family?
32863If she can neither bake nor brew; if she be ignorant of the nature of flour, yeast, malt, and hops, what is she good for?
32863If you add five of these pounds to a woman''s wages, is not that full as well employed as giving it in wages to the baker''s men?
32863Is it not better employed for you?
32863Is it not better than time spent in the ale- house, or in creeping about after a miserable hare?
32863Is not this state of things perfectly monstrous?
32863Is that nothing?
32863It is_ labour_; but, what is_ exercise_ other than labour?
32863It may be asked, Where is the mill to be found?
32863Law is always law: if one part of the law may be, with impunity, set at defiance, why not another and every other part of the law?
32863Must he have as much as_ all the widows_, or_ all the old men_?
32863Needs there any thing more to make us cease to wonder at seeing labourers''children with dirty linen and holes in the heels of their stockings?
32863No poor- laws?
32863No poor- rates?
32863No_ select vestries_?
32863Now, how much garden ground does it require to supply even a large family with_ garden vegetables_?
32863Now, is not this an enormous evil?
32863Now, then, how fare the prisoners in the jails?
32863Now, with what show of justice can these laws be maintained?
32863Ought not they to consider that the habits which they give their children are to stick by those children during their whole lives?
32863Stop the exchange between Leghorn and Yorkshire, and, does Yorkshire_ lose part of its custom_?
32863Surely that Lancashire can never be_ in England_?"
32863The answer is, Where is there not a mill?
32863The question was, then, would these precious seeds_ grow and produce plants in perfection in England_?
32863There is no farmer who does not at least fifty days in every year exclaim, when he gets up in the morning,"What shall I set_ them_ at to- day?"
32863These last are right; but what have these things to do with the treatment of the poor?
32863To be without sure and safe friends in the world makes life not worth having; and whom can we be so sure of as of our children?
32863Was not this father discharging his duty by this boy much better than he would have been by sending him to a place called a_ school_?
32863What do we want more than this to convince us, that the main body of the people have been_ impoverished_ by the"Reformation?"
32863What have these things to do with the horrid facts relative to the condition and starvation of English people?
32863What is it, then, that they_ do_ with the eighty rods of ground in a private garden?
32863What is the object of Government?
32863What need had we even of_ reason_ upon the subject?
32863What reason have we, then, to presume, that our children are not to do the same?
32863What shall we see next?
32863What then will people not do, who regularly undertake the business for their livelihood?
32863What would he have said?
32863What_ is it_, then?
32863What_ justice_ is there, then, in calling upon this man to take up arms and_ risk his life_ in the_ defence of the land_: what is the land to him?
32863Where can that_ Hampshire_ be?
32863Where is the justice of the peace?
32863Where is there such a man, who can not trace to this cause a very considerable part of all the mortifications and sufferings of his life?
32863Where, amidst all this starvation, is the overseer?
32863Who would think himself safe, if at the_ mercy_ of such a man?
32863Why do they take care to have it then?
32863Why should any one have such desire?
32863Why, you would say, to be sure,"Where is the LAW; where are the constables, the justices, the juries, the judges, the sheriffs, and the hangmen?
32863Why_ buy_ this, when you can_ grow_ it in your garden?
32863With what satisfaction will they learn that straw, twenty times as durable, to say nothing of the beauty, is to be got from every hedge?
32863_ Abundant food_ is the main thing; and what is there that a rabbit will_ not eat_?
32863and is it not better employed for the community?
32863are there_ no poor- laws_ in Lancashire?
32863duty on that straw, and to have it platted here; and that it would_ not answer_ to turn into plat straw of just the same sort grown in England?
32863where is the wheat to be got?
32863where is there not a market?
18298After the nets have been withdrawn, what is it worth?
18298Again, can the fact of the weir which had a wall of this bottom- ice three feet high in a single night, be accounted for by radiation?
18298Again, why should the magistrates in quarter sessions( nine- tenths of whom know nothing of Salmon or Salmon rivers) choose the conservators?
18298An intelligent friend of mine, now in India, says that the pod of cotton is overhung by a brown leaf( bractea?
18298And if these objections really exist, then do they not equally exist in the rivers of Australia and Tasmania?
18298And is not the Salmon question one of public policy?
18298And why should not a man be allowed to fish with a rod and line below the weir, and as near to it as he chooses?
18298Are either of these leisters?
18298Are not gamekeepers as likely to need looking after as mill- owners?
18298Are the parties who saw these eggs quite certain that the fish was an Eel and not a Lamprey?
18298Are there any Salmon in North America, in any river( not a tributary of the St. Lawrence), south of that river?
18298As the net would not take a fish of less than two pounds, how many had passed through it?
18298Besides, did any one ever succeed in hatching the ova of a fish which had not been allowed to come in contact with milt after exclusion?
18298Besides, what is your object?
18298But how had they learnt the way?
18298But would not the theory of the decomposition of carbon do quite as well?
18298Can not the Royal Agricultural Society offer a premium for a short- strawed wheat of good quality?
18298Can not this be prevented?
18298Can you inform me what it is that causes the land to be clover- sick?
18298Did you ever use woollen rags as manure?
18298Do any of the rivers of China( not Chinese Tartary) contain Salmon?
18298Do any of the rivers on the west coast of America below the latitude of 40 degrees N. contain Salmon?
18298Do none of the great agriculturists themselves see how desirable such a wheat would be for the agriculture of this country?
18298Do you mean to do away with these?
18298Do you mean to prohibit the trammel, which is usually a treble and not a double net?
18298Does Salmo Salar think that one ton and a tenth of Smolts go down the river Hodder to the sea on an average of years?
18298Does it not directly or indirectly flow into a river or the sea?
18298Does it throw any light upon the new manure for which he is said to be taking out a patent?
18298Does not this include common Trout?
18298Has it been observed by naturalists that spiders eat their own webs?
18298Has it been tried?
18298He says his pond is fifty miles from the sea;"therefore, how is it that these little Eels get no larger in their long and tedious journey?
18298How could such hecks or grates be prevented from choking with leaves in the autumn and ice in the winter, thus stopping the wheels?
18298How, then, are the repairs of shafting and machinery to be made?
18298I mean, is the evaporation from its surface equal to the supply of water?
18298I said,"John, did you never hear of a man gathering the stones off his field, and then having to lead them back again?"
18298I said,"What does manuring land mean, but putting something into it of which it is deficient?
18298I said,"What is your objection to it, John?"
18298If it is the abstraction of something from the soil, what is that something?
18298If neither a series of Scotch nets nor a single trammel is to be used, by what sort of net do you propose to catch the Salmon?
18298If not, where does the surplus go to?
18298If not, why not?
18298If these precautions are unnecessary, why go to such expense?
18298If they have, when, where, and how has this been accomplished, and where is it recorded?
18298If this is doubted, I would ask how it happens that in the autumn they have fluid milt in them?
18298If you are a believer in humus, what is it composed of, and how does it act in forwarding vegetation?
18298If you had twenty shillings in your pocket, and I filled it up with these cobble- stones, how much poorer would you be?
18298Is he sure they have taken none this season?
18298Is it surprising that the upper proprietors are not satisfied with this state of things?
18298Is there no escape of water from it?
18298It is true we have had none this winter, but when shall we have such another?
18298It is true, many Wrens''nests may be found in which there are no feathers; but did you ever find either eggs or young ones in them?
18298It may be asked, Where can a short- strawed wheat of good quality be procured?
18298It may be asked, who is the man who obtrudes his opinions on the colony unasked, and what can be his motives?
18298It may be said, How do you know that one of the three or four varieties of Smolts which you describe further on, is not the fry of the Mort?
18298Let this be applied to plants: are we to suppose that the plant assimilates all that is absorbed by its roots and leaves?
18298Need we be surprised, then, if the breed decreases?
18298No doubt he may have done so, but did he catch them of the thickness of a crow''s quill, and three inches long?
18298Now, what takes place under such circumstances?
18298Of what have I robbed this field by putting gravel into it?"
18298On what subject is it?
18298Or, what is the value of black fish full of spawn?
18298P.S.--Am I to suppose that you have abandoned the idea of manuring an acre of wheat for thirteen shillings?
18298Recurring again to the quantity of manure necessary to grow thirty- six bushels of wheat, I would ask, why limit yourself to so small a crop?
18298Secondly, whether they offer a prize for the introduction of Salmon fry; and if so, what is the amount offered?
18298T. says further there is also room for inquiry into another curious subject-- do Eels return to fresh water after having gone to the sea for spawning?
18298Then how are the fisheries in the estuary and just above tideway to be valued?
18298There is on my part no objection to this examination, but why are millowners stigmatized by being subjected to exceptional legislation?
18298Thirdly, whether they offer a prize for the introduction of fertilized ova of Salmon or Trout, and what is the amount?
18298True, but what are they worth?
18298What did they give the upper proprietors on the Ribble and the Hodder last season?
18298What do you understand by humus?
18298What is this but an encouragement to do so again?
18298What would become of all the spawn deposited there?
18298What would they care about the matter?
18298What, for instance, would the magistrates meeting at Wakefield know of the Ribble or the Hodder?
18298Where are the originals of our wheat, barley, rye, beans, and peas?
18298Where does the water flow to, and for what is this sill?
18298Who beside Mr. Boccius ever saw Eel- fry in a pond which had no communication with a river?
18298Who knows whether the_ Furia Infernalis_ is anything else than a murderous Mrs. Harris-- at all events, who has seen one, and what was it like?
18298Who saw the eggs from which Mr. Boccius produced living Eels?
18298Who saw the fish from which those thousands of eggs were extracted at the time this dissection was made?
18298Whose authority have you for this?
18298Why do you think that the water in pools is never still enough to allow it to get below 32 degrees without freezing on still clear nights?
18298Will G. H. be kind enough to say whether he does not catch his about the same time?
18298Will Mr. Rennie condescend to enlighten me?
18298Will raising the average produce from twenty- five to fifty bushels per acre be the utmost limit to which improvement can be carried?
18298Will you allow me to ask whether you ever personally saw ice at the bottom of a pond when there was none on the surface?
18298Will you have the kindness to say what was the amount offered?
18298Would a dissection of the Conger at various seasons throw any light on the propagation of Eels?
18298Would it not be better to expressly insist upon all cruive fisheries being positively closed from sunset to sunrise?
18298Would it not be better to limit your intentions to all migratory fish of the Salmon kind, to wit, Salmon, Grilse,& c.& c.?
18298and if not, in what respect did it differ?
18298and if so, under what circumstances?
18298and if they are necessary for hares and birds, may they not be also for fish?
18298and what time did they give within which they would pay for a successful attempt?
18298and will he also state whether he does not catch them principally after heavy rains have increased the flow of water out of the pond?
18298for as nature makes no unnecessary provisions, for what purpose is this, if not to provide for the possibility of a female Salmon coming alone?
18298of the rate?
18298washed down the drains by the rain, and so lost for ever?
18298which did not enter into the composition of the plant?
18298who were the parties who made themselves responsible for the payment?
18298will he also say whether the Eels he catches are not Silver Eels?
21657An''why not me? 21657 And how long have they been at it already?
21657And lose a cent a bushel while they''re turning around, eh?
21657But why should we build up another man''s paper for him?
21657Can the export part of our business be developed successfully with a little more time?
21657Can they succeed? 21657 Did he get you, Pete?"
21657Did these Grain Growers fight the elevator combine of the early days in order that they could establish a Farmers''Combine? 21657 Farmers''company"they called it, eh?
21657How can we change the information on such short notice?
21657Is Christ to develop the individuals and Carl Marx mobilize and lead them?
21657Is Christ to hew the stones and Henry George build them into the finished edifice? 21657 Know anything about him?"
21657ME? 21657 Not even to supply the farmers who do n''t belong to our Association?"
21657Of course you got it?
21657Qu''appelle? 21657 Remember when I went up to Russell, during their Fair in October, to tell them what the Exchange was trying to do to us?
21657Tell Wilson, if you see him, that Peter Dayman and I are expecting him over next week, will you? 21657 Then what about the wholesaler?"
21657What I want to know is, how long ought it to take to load up this whole boatload we''re trying to move?
21657What about that company?
21657What about that, Kennedy? 21657 What are we to do?"
21657What brings you over this way? 21657 What d''you mean, talkin''like that?"
21657What do you want us to do? 21657 What do_ you_ mean, talking like that?
21657What is the next order of business?
21657What''n the mischief do you expect to gain by that sort of thing?
21657What''s wrong?
21657Where would the British Army be as a disorganized army confronting the Germans? 21657 Where''n the mischief are you going, John?"
21657Who calls?
21657Who is that fellow, anyway?
21657Who said anything about quitting?
21657Why ca n''t we get out a journal for ourselves?
21657Why ca n''t we get out a little journal like that?
21657Why do n''t they practice what they preach and give the country merchant a square deal? 21657 Why do n''t they take their time and do their trading more quietly and systematically?"
21657Why must I feed and clothe and buy the smokes for so many of these middlemen?
21657With guns, if necessary?
21657Would he pay one hundred and seventy- five thousand dollars to the line elevator and stand a dockage of one hundred thousand bushels in addition? 21657 Would the owner of ten million bushels peddle his wheat by the wagonload at the local shipping point or by the carload in Winnipeg?"
21657--would you?
21657After the war is won-- what?
21657Ai n''t that where we''re gettin''it_ now_?"
21657An''if I know that many in my territory, W. R., how many d''you suppose there are if we take in Manitoba and clean through to the mountains?"
21657An''say, what about a coal mine, too?"
21657An''what''s more----""The Royal Mounted stood for law and order, Bob; but you''d class yourself with the half- breeds, would you?
21657And what came of it all?
21657And what had the elevator men to say about all this?
21657And what is that objective?
21657Are our shareholders and friends going to take the bribe that is meant to put us out of business?
21657At the present rate of speed another three years would see them in control of the grain business and was that good for the grain business?
21657But do you know what your overdraft amounts to now?"
21657But if the small dealers on the Exchange were aroused, what about the farmers''trading company?
21657But this concern in the grain business-- run by a few men, was n''t it?
21657But what about the seat on the Grain Exchange?
21657But what?
21657But would they?
21657But you know that big flock of sheep down in the back pasture?
21657CHAPTER IX THE GRAIN EXCHANGE AGAIN"How many tables, Janet, are there in the Law?"
21657CHAPTER XIV THE INTERNAL ELEVATOR CAMPAIGN What constitutes a state?
21657Could n''t some way be devised of sidestepping such pitfalls?
21657Did these farmers get what they wanted?
21657Do you wonder that the great evolution of farming methods should lead to advanced thought upon the issues of the day?
21657Does a creed like this spell class legislation?
21657Doggone your hide, Mac, what''re you trying to do?--Stir up another rebellion like that of''85?"
21657Everything going alright?"
21657Fifteen hundred dollars?
21657Five days, ai n''t it?
21657Go easy on''em for awhile, will you?"
21657Had not their fathers been successful farmers?
21657Had they not raised a family of eight or ten or a dozen or more without belonging to any organization?--educated them, too?
21657Have you ever been at sea with not a thing in sight but water, sky, horizon?
21657Have you forgotten?
21657How did this come about?
21657How did we get the Royal Commission except by those letters and meetings?
21657How long would the farmers stand behind the company in the face of the competition that would be brought to bear?
21657How would it be if I wrote him a letter about it?"
21657How?
21657If not, what lies back of it?
21657If the owner of ten thousand bushels was able to make a better bargain than the owner of one thousand, what about the owner of ten million bushels?
21657If the producer was getting full value for his wheat why should the Grain Exchange be interfered with?
21657If they win, what will be the national effect?
21657If you''re serious in what you say----""I said I was, did n''t I?"
21657In opposition to an awakened national interest what chance is there going to be for the silent partnerships of"invisible government"?
21657In the meantime where is the wheat?
21657In these days of revolutionary thought who shall set the length and width of the Farmers''field of influence, therefore?
21657Is it to be co- operation in all sincerity or class warfare?
21657Is nobody else to have a right to live?"
21657Is one any better than the other?"
21657Just because I''ve worn the Queen''s uniform, eh?
21657Just where lie the boundaries of the impossible and who shall define them?
21657Let them join us or go twineless"?
21657Mean to say we''re no farther ahead?
21657Now, is all this preaching of the men who are leading the farmers just so much talk?--chaff?--prairie wind?
21657Now, what about the country elevators for government control of which the farmers had campaigned so vigorously in the three Prairie Provinces?
21657On the other hand, is the man who has the cash to receive no consideration?
21657One of them was a son of the first elevator man to whom he had gone and, said he:"The Old Man gave you a knockdown for it, did n''t he?"
21657Only the humming of that confounded flying- machine up there-- Can''t somebody bring down that Mail- Order bird?
21657Or would you just proceed to swear-- naturally, successfully, in what is known as"flowing"language?
21657Qu''appelle?"
21657Remember the old shiny black mohair sofa and the wheezy, yellow- keyed melodeon or the little roller hand- organ that used to play"Old Hundred"?
21657Same thing, ai n''t it?
21657So McNair was another of them, eh?
21657So what''s the use o''talkin''?"
21657Spencer?"
21657That put the Manitoba Grain Act on the statutes, did n''t it?
21657The elevator people have put a lot of money-- Say, why ca n''t we organize, too?"
21657The first question flung back at them naturally would be:"Then your''Board of Control''does n''t control, eh?"
21657The little boy believes that the cow really did jump over the moon; for is n''t it right there in the nursery book with a picture of her doing it?
21657The red figure 5 has gone out and 7/8 has in turn vanished in favor of 5/8--1/2--3/8--4--(?)
21657The remedy?
21657Think you that in the crucible which bares the very souls of men those boys have any thought of class criticism or of selfish grabbings?
21657Was it good for the farmer?
21657Well, say, does a cat go by a saucer of cream without taking a lick?
21657Were not these producers of the world''s bread themselves to partake of the fruits of their labor?
21657What about British Columbia?
21657What about it?"
21657What about the homesteader or the poorer farmer who is starting on meagre resources?
21657What about the times of poor crops and money scarcity?
21657What can we do?"
21657What d''you suppose that means?"
21657What do you say?"
21657What does it matter except that the people shall grant to their leaders their sympathy and co- operation in the cares of crisis?
21657What in heaven''s name would they do with them after they got them?
21657What is to be the final outcome of the Western farmers''revolt and its spread to rural communities in Eastern provinces?
21657What''s up now?"
21657What?
21657Where would the farmer have been if the country merchant had not carried him on the books for the necessities of life?"
21657Who is to give it to them if business is put on a cash basis?
21657Who was this mysterious"Observer"?
21657Who''s there, i''the name of Beelzebub?
21657Who, pray, were the"Territorial Grain Growers''Association"?
21657Why ca n''t I do it with what I need to buy?"
21657Why could n''t the farmers themselves form a company to undertake the marketing of their own wheat?
21657Why was he going to so much trouble as to launch a systematic campaign?
21657Would he forget the conditions of the early days and grab for a present saving of five or ten dollars per car?
21657Would he pay the terminal elevator seventy- five thousand dollars''worth of screenings?
21657Would the farmer be"unable to see past his nose,"as was predicted?

31373Are these girls really Americans at heart? 31373 Are you quite sure,"said Fillmore Flagg,"that her father is dead?"
31373At this point, it is pertinent to propound the following questions: If this is a Republic? 31373 But, says the objector, are not these mostly alkali lands?
31373Can a Josiah Strong answer these questions? 31373 Can we teach politics to school children, as a part of our religious duties?
31373Did I understand you to say that these immense discs, these mammoth, weed- scorching mirrors, were made here at Solaris? 31373 Does this exhibit appeal to you as a reasonable basis for the accumulated savings named in your questions?"
31373First, I wish you would tell me just what is represented by the one thousand shares of capital stock, of the Solaris Farm Company?
31373How can this happen? 31373 How do you do, Mr. Flagg?
31373How is it possible, you ask, to keep perfect control of such a large issue of scrip, with a certainty that all in use is genuine? 31373 How much land do you devote to cotton growing?
31373In this connection, let me ask: Have you ever had a seance with a medium? 31373 My dear Fillmore,"said Fern,"How are you impressed by my scheme for carrying out the chosen plans?
31373Now Fillmore,said Fern,"I wish to ask, what have you been doing in the department of experimental farming?"
31373Speaking of wages,said George Gaylord,"did I understand you to say, that all of the co- operators at Solaris receive the same pay?"
31373Tell me, George,said Fillmore Flagg,"how have you fared since we parted, and what are your ambitions and plans for the future?"
31373Tell me, Mr. Flagg, why are you so much interested in that advertisement which came to me so unceremoniously yesterday? 31373 What are the best conditions for mind unfoldment?
31373What is a trust? 31373 What is that question, which so completely absorbs the attention of these people?
31373What think you, Mr. Gaylord? 31373 Where can these conditions be found?
31373Why can these land monopolists afford to wait so long? 31373 Will it pay?"
31373You ask how can this coming disaster be averted? 31373 You ask what disposition has been made of this money?
31373You ask, what disposition is made of the salaries of such co- operators as are elected to fill town and county offices? 31373 ''How to keep the farm lands of America in the hands of the native farmers of this and the coming generations? 31373 A last word to my readers: Do you wish to join forces with the humanitarians? 31373 Am I worthy of such a blessing? 31373 An overwhelming answer in the affirmative, from every point of view, to the question, does it pay to be unselfish? 31373 And again, tell me why you are so moved and determined to better the conditions of farm life? 31373 And if the consolidating business, is so good and so profitable for the trusts? 31373 And now, my dear Fillmore, since I have, so to speak, brought myself up to date for your benefit, may I ask for a similar service on your part?
31373Are we waking or dreaming?
31373Are you satisfied, my dear girl?
31373Aside from my speculative fancies, I do wonder what the future has in store for him?
31373At what age do you propose to retire the active workers?"
31373But are you quite sure the facts will fully warrant your conclusions?
31373But tell me, if I may be permitted to ask, who was the wonderful genius who first conceived and planned the building of this imposing line of arches?
31373But what about the father?
31373By the measure of immortality, who shall attempt to describe or limit the destiny of a human soul?

31373Can I add anything more convincing?"
31373Can it be possible that I am to feel and know this by direct communication with them?"
31373Can it be possible, that the pulsing energy of the protoplasmic life of the tree, is identical with that of man, and all other forms of cosmic life?
31373Can it be possible, that they are farm laborers?"

31373Do you remember the promise I made to you, on the night of my transition?
31373Do you think I am likely to prove a pupil worthy of his teacher?"
31373Do you think a general introduction of co- operative farming, will produce equally successful results elsewhere?"
31373Do you think she is really in love with Mr. Flagg?
31373Do you think this road- building fever, will continue to spread with the growth of the movement?"
31373Do you think you are strong enough to- day, for another mobile excursion over the farm?"
31373Does each great throb of the planetary heart, re- energize and move in unison, the protoplasmic centers of all forms of life?
31373Does the plan proposed meet your approval by offering satisfactory answers to your questions?"
31373Has anything happened to her?
31373Have I faithfully kept my promise?"
31373Have you been interested to any extent in reading the all- comprehensive philosophy which mediumship demonstrates?"
31373Have your objections, been satisfactorily answered?
31373He heard these words:"Fern, my daughter, will you tell this gentleman who I am?"

31373How will you dispose of it?
31373How, and when shall we commence the plan making?"
31373How, can you ever forgive me?

31373I do wonder in what peculiar capacity you are to act, and who your real employer is to be?
31373I see our friends returning from the lake, will you help me to spread the lunch?"
31373I trust that you feel encouraged to go forward hopefully with the work?"
31373If so, what are your plans and what have you been doing towards working out this puzzling question?"
31373If so, what name shall I choose for it?
31373If the people are the government, and the government is the people?
31373In its formation what method shall I use?
31373Is it a matter of wonder, that he unhesitatingly accorded to them, the distinction of being sacred?
31373Is it not a most beautiful illustration, of the power of spirits to co- operate with mortals?"
31373Is it not almost like a miracle?"
31373Is it not one affecting the vital interests of humanity to a marvelous extent?"
31373Is it then, under the circumstances, any wonder that the farmers''sons should become dissatisfied with the occupation of their birth?
31373Is it wise, to devote so much time to teaching politics; and to commence this teaching with children so young?
31373Is she here?"
31373Is that to be postponed until we have finished the preliminary work, which you have outlined?"
31373It is then that I ask of my soul: What am I?
31373May I also congratulate you, on having so wisely chosen a husband, who is in every way worthy?
31373May I hope, Miss Fenwick, that you will kindly consent to become my teacher in this new school of wonderful phenomena and spiritual law?
31373May we hope that you both can come with us?"
31373May we not make that co- operation more effective, by a closer study of the conditions that prevail, and of the laws which govern spirit life?"
31373Must the sons and daughters of the farms of this republic come to the bitter heritage of such a life?
31373Now that her studies were finished and her plans perfected, why not send for him to come to Fenwick Hall for a week''s vacation?
31373Premising that my theory is true, how can you manage this matter at Solaris, in order to avoid trouble?"
31373Question: Shall this society take the form of a club?
31373Shall we not do well, if we devote a generous share of our honeymoon to the making, development and perfection of these plans?"
31373Shall we walk through now?"
31373Tell me, Fillmore, does the acceptance and advocacy of this view of the relations existing between labor and society, make one a socialist?"
31373Tell me, is this the beginning of some reign of enchantment?
31373Tell me; how is it possible for so large a sum to be saved in such a short time?"
31373That he had been swallowed up by the sea?
31373That the shipwreck had really occurred?"
31373The culmination of love''s dream?
31373To government of both state and nation?
31373To what piece of good fortune, do I owe this unexpected visit?
31373Was it possible that spiritual unfoldment alone, could confer such marvelous power?
31373Were the desires, the ideas and the methods in conjunctive harmony with planetary evolution?
31373Were you there, Fillmore?"
31373What additional results, do you claim for the system?"
31373What additional work, has Gertrude Gerrish planned for the club members?"
31373What are these buildings, and for what purpose are they used?"
31373What are those insects, and how did you manage to destroy them?"
31373What atonement can I ever make, for the shame, the humiliation, the suffering, which I have brought into your life?''
31373What can I do?
31373What do you think of it so far?"
31373What does it mean?
31373What has become of these values?
31373What has she been doing with her magical wand to produce such delicious perfume; such entrancing music?"
31373What have I done?
31373What have you to tell me about stirpiculture, as a part of the co- operative farm movement?"
31373What is the result?
31373What miracle have you wrought for me, my precious one, that I am so happy?
31373What of our coming conference with your father, Fennimore Fenwick?
31373What problem in life so knotty that she could not solve?
31373What shall I do?
31373What sweet guardian spirit guides my life, that I should be made so exceedingly happy by the priceless love of such a beautiful woman?
31373What then will happen to society?
31373What then would have happened to our workers, the basic units of our government?
31373What think you of these results?"
31373What think you, Fillmore?"
31373What think you, friend Gaylord?"
31373What treatment may unorganized, unprotected labor, expect from this system?
31373When you heard the voice from the trumpet, how could you feel so sure it was your father speaking?
31373Where now is the injustice of equal wages?
31373Where then, in the economy of nature, is there room or use for the doctrine of total depravity?
31373Who shall say?
31373Who so capable and so desirable as Fillmore Flagg?
31373Why is it that these things have not been done before?"
31373Why must this prove true?
31373Why not change it for the co- operative system?
31373Why not?
31373Why not?
31373Why should the business of the United States, support such an army of banks?
31373Why should they live only to suffer?
31373Why should they?
31373Why, should it not own and operate the railroads, the canals, the shipping, the mines, the forests, and all other industries?
31373Why, should not the government, own and run this giant central bank?
31373Why?
31373Will he ever reach that room?
31373Will the lovely face of Fern Fenwick be the first to greet him?
31373Will you be seated in the smaller chair near it?
31373Will you do me the favor of considering yourself as pledged from this moment to take up my work?
31373Will you not?"
31373With the aid of such a matchless woman, how could he fail in the work before him?
31373With this lesson before us, how can we hesitate or falter in our efforts to successfully carry forward this important work?
31373Would he ever again experience another week so full of unalloyed happiness?
31373Would it not be infinitely better, than to allow the government to be swallowed by one monster trust?"
31373Would they dare to do such a thing?"
31373You are perfectly satisfied with the arrangement, are you not?"
31373You ask to what extent will the work affect the destiny of woman?
31373and how were its smooth, worn sides so systematically engraved?"
31373how formed?
31373imagine for them, a purpose in life more noble or more worthy?"
31373whence came this stranger rock?
16525And my gardens, too?
16525And will you sell it?
16525Are n''t you going to credit anything to health, and good times generally? 16525 Are these things worth$ 100,000?"
16525Are you really glad to get back to it? 16525 Break away, daughter, do you want a steam launch with your yacht?"
16525But how about your friends, Polly?
16525But how is one to know? 16525 But what about the boys, Polly?"
16525But what if Anderson sets fire to your piggery, or lightning strikes your granary,--how about the expense account then?
16525But, me friend Jarvis, what is this you have on your face? 16525 But, suppose the Company were in duty bound to do this thing for you, and suppose it should refuse; would that be a good reason for quitting work?
16525Ca n''t you have a telephone put into the farm- house? 16525 Can you send more?"
16525Country life fits us like paper on the wall,said I,"but how about the youngsters?
16525Do you know how much it is?
16525Do you like the plan? 16525 Do you mean that there are more pearls than swine, Mr. Jack?
16525Do you mean the house alone?
16525Do you think I could manage a farm?
16525Do_ your_ pigs get lost when you are away?
16525Does it come out just even$ 44,000? 16525 Finished the farm- house?"
16525Fun comes high at this time of the year, does n''t it, Polly?
16525Have they sowed the alfalfa and cut the oats?
16525Have you decided to keep''dottes? 16525 Have you settled the moulds he is to be run in?"
16525How about Jack?
16525How are you going to seed the north forty?
16525How do you figure values here?
16525How does the contagion travel, Doctor?
16525How long have you had that up your sleeve, young woman? 16525 How many cows are you going to milk?"
16525How much do you want to spend for the house?
16525How''s that?
16525Jack, whom will you ask? 16525 Lonesome, is it?
16525Now see here, old man, what would be the good of selling this factory for$ 100,000? 16525 Now, what would be the result if you struck on these robbers?
16525Of these fifty, can we count on twenty- five pullets?
16525Or the trees you''ve planted?
16525Polly, how much is 16- 1/2 times 320?
16525See here, boys, do n''t you see that you''re sending your noble Swede to his Lutzen before his time,--not dead, indeed, but dead drunk? 16525 Sir Tom,"said I,"shall I send for a priest?"
16525So you do n''t want to go back to that tall house, madam?
16525Sure he''s all right, and as fine as silk; but why did you give him to me? 16525 That applies to other things besides post- splitting, does n''t it?"
16525That includes horse keep, I suppose?
16525That would be doing pretty well, would n''t it? 16525 This dull, brutish condition is self- imposed, and to what end?
16525Well, Bill, I thought you would like him, and we were neighbors, and--"You thought I would save you the trouble of keeping him, did n''t you?
16525Well, men, what do you want? 16525 What breeds of cows have you handled, Thompson?"
16525What can you do with a forge?
16525What do they come for if they do n''t want the place we described? 16525 What do you buy cedar posts for, when you have enough better ones on the place?"
16525What do you get in return? 16525 What do you have to pay for them?"
16525What do you suppose a good one would cost?
16525What do you suppose fire insurance policies are for? 16525 What do you suppose they will charge per ton on their platform?"
16525What has it cost you to date?
16525What have crows hiding got to do with corn, I''d like to know?
16525What kind of things does this young lady make, dear?
16525What percentage of hatch may we expect from purchased eggs?
16525What things does the Herr Doctor speak for?
16525What time can I breakfast? 16525 What will have to do?"
16525What will the paper on your bedroom wall be like?
16525What will you do if the men go out?
16525What''s the matter with the bull, Jackson? 16525 What''s the matter?
16525Who is match- making now?
16525Who said he was?
16525Why do you throw down the Plymouth Rocks? 16525 Why, of course you can; you''ve managed your business, have n''t you?
16525Will you ever have to increase the debt?
16525Will you have one lump or two?
16525Will you sell this plant, Williams?
16525Will you take twenty per cent advance on what the books show? 16525 Would you like to see a clergyman?"
16525You started out with a plan for a$ 10,000 house, did n''t you? 16525 A man is not a slave, to be made to work against his will; but, on the other hand, is he not a slave if he is forced to quit against his will? 16525 A saddle horse and dogs galore would square me with Jane, beyond question; but what about Jack? 16525 After resting a few minutes, Sir Tom said:--Me lady Laura, do you mind that prayer song, the second verse?"
16525And I do n''t think$ 125 is much, do you?"
16525And how much interest do you add?"
16525And who was to gainsay her?
16525Are they hand- painted?
16525But do you think you can secure this paragon?"
16525But how about the children?
16525But what''s the matter with the old lady''s quarter across your south road?"
16525But what''s the use of charging the farm with interest when you credit it with our keeping?"
16525But why did you say dehorn the cows?"
16525But, supposing it only pays expenses, how can you put on as much style on the interest of$ 100,000 anywhere else as you can here?
16525By the way, how much of an ice- house shall I need?"
16525CHAPTER XVII WHAT SHALL WE ASK OF THE HEN?
16525Ca n''t I do something for you?"
16525Ca n''t they drive the butter- cart out each morning and home after school?
16525Ca n''t you hold them?"
16525Can you make nails?
16525Could I live in a better house, or have better food, better service, better friends, or a better way of entertaining them?
16525Did n''t you want to stay longer?"
16525Did you ever see weather made to order before?
16525Do I charge my orchards for this time?
16525Do n''t you see that it makes little difference what we call our expenses out here, so long as the farm pays them and gives us a surplus besides?
16525Do n''t you think you can help the men, Lars?"
16525Do n''t you think you''ve been a little extravagant?"
16525Do n''t you want to get rid of those five scrub cows?"
16525Do these animals feel no joy in the performance of service which is bred into their bones and which it is unnatural or freakish for them to lack?
16525Do they expect we are to change our plans of life to suit their personal notions?"
16525Do you feel_ very_ bad, Jack?
16525Do you find it in the union?
16525Do you know how long it is since I have had them?
16525Do you know where you can place them?"
16525Do you like the prospect?
16525Do you realize, Polly, that the maids in the house get$ 1300 out of the$ 5300,--one quarter of the whole?
16525Do you really think farming is all beer and skittles?"
16525Do you roll up your sleeves and wear a leather apron?"
16525Do you suppose I am going to let these visions become contaminated by practical knowledge?
16525Do you suppose these men are here from charitable motives or for their health?
16525Do you think we can get a glass of milk of the''farm lady''?"
16525Does n''t that count for anything?
16525Does that frighten you, Polly?"
16525Get some good men out here, wo n''t you?"
16525Have you any idea as to where it can be had?"
16525Have you any idea how many posts it will take to fence this farm as we have platted it?
16525Have you evicted the poor widow, and she on her deathbed?
16525Have you got to pay interest on it?"
16525He does n''t live up to his possibilities, does he?"
16525Headman?"
16525Her brown hair has floated in my dreams until I have cried out for help; what would her face have done?
16525How could I place the money so that it would bring me half the things which this farm brings me now?
16525How have you done it?"
16525How long are you going to stay out?
16525How many did we keep in the city?"
16525How much of it do you suppose there is?"
16525How much will it cost to get them out?"
16525How was I to know that Polly would hail from that quarter?
16525How?
16525I can have a saddle horse now, and keep as many dogs as I like, ca n''t I, Dad?"
16525I do n''t know everything yet, do I, Thompson?"
16525I found by experience, that if one would have bird neighbors( and who would not?
16525I think that''s a fair showing for the three years, do n''t you?"
16525I was reckless then, and hoped the total would be great, for had not Polly said that she knew I had got the worth of my money?
16525If I had more land, would I increase my stock?
16525If this were true, these two persons were just what I needed; but, was it true?
16525If we had good luck with the sixty chicks, how many would grow up?"
16525In return for this$ 3 a year, what do I give my hens besides a clean house and yard?
16525Is it due to pure air and sunshine, making redder blood and more vigorous development, to broader horizons and freedom from abnormal conventions?
16525Is n''t he all right?"
16525Is n''t that great?
16525Is the Company under obligation to lose this money for you?
16525Is there anything better under the sun than fried salt pork and milk gravy?
16525Is this a load which thinking people would impose upon themselves?
16525It is hard, sir, not to do a hit of a hammer for weeks or months with a family on one''s hands and winter coming; but what can a man do?
16525It was pretty of her to say that; but what else would one expect from Laura?
16525Jack?"
16525Jackson sent for his horse, and just before he mounted, I said,"Are you thinking of selling your farm?"
16525Joining her, I said,--"I have mapped seven forties; have you finished one?"
16525May I write and find out?"
16525My first greeting was,--"How''s the farm, Polly?"
16525My poultry was to be white, and white predominated in my cows; why should not my swine be white also,--or as white as their habits would permit?
16525No, I guess I wo n''t sell the paternal acres; but who wants to buy?"
16525Not since I knew you well, did I?
16525Of the turnips I could feel more certain, for doth not the poet say:--"The 25th day of July, Sow your turnips, wet or dry"?
16525One day Jane said:--"Dad, what do you think of the Russian wolf- hound?"
16525Or does a close relation to primary things give a newness to mind and body which is granted only to those who apply in person?
16525Say, Dad, why not have one?"
16525Shall my work stop because you have been called out for a holiday?
16525Shall the weeds grow over these walls and my lumber rot while you sit idly by?
16525Shall we do it, Polly?"
16525Silk thread would advance in proportion, and how does the manager know that he can replace his silk when needed, even at the advanced price?
16525Some one will say:"How can you make hens pay if they do n''t lay more than eight dozen eggs a year?
16525The experiment is yours, is n''t it?"
16525The farm is yours, is n''t it?
16525The question ought always to be, How much can a cow eat and drink?
16525The social side of life is quite as important as the commercial, for though we gain money, if we lose happiness, what profit have we?
16525Then he was Gustavus Adolphus,--for had he not come to the aid of the Protestants when they were in sore need?
16525There is land enough now and to spare, but will it be so fifty or a hundred years hence?
16525They called him Lars Porsena,--for had he not fought gallantly?
16525They had done well without a husbandman; what could not others do with one?
16525To live on our lawn, did I say?
16525To paper the wall?
16525WHAT SHALL WE ASK OF THE HEN?
16525Was I to flush two at once, and would they fall to my gun?
16525We must n''t think of it as a dog; it''s a barzoi; that is n''t too much for a barzoi, is it?"
16525We were all very fond of Jessie, and who could help it?
16525What are you to do with this?
16525What could I do with a priest?
16525What could be more unnatural?
16525What difference does it make whether you charge interest or not?"
16525What do I care for that?
16525What do you think of Judson as a probable dairyman?"
16525What do you think of that?"
16525What do you think we could sell this one for?"
16525What does Jane say?"
16525What in the world have you done with it?
16525What kind of investment will pay better?
16525What more can she ask?
16525What shall I do when you quit work?
16525What sort of business will give larger returns in health and pleasure?
16525What wages do you pay?"
16525What will become of my interests while you are following the lead of your bell- wethers?
16525What would I do if disease should appear?
16525What would one think of the manager of a silk- thread factory who sold his raw silk, just because it had advanced in price?
16525What would you say to a proposition of$ 10,000 for one hundred acres along my north line?"
16525When did I ever insist on anything, Mrs. Williams?
16525Who has done the cutting down of this trip?
16525Why did n''t you keep him for yourself?"
16525Why do you insist upon eight weeks?"
16525Why does the universal farm- house hang its gable over the public road, without tree or shrub to cover its boldness?
16525Why should I?"
16525Why, John Williams, do you mean to tell me that you borrowed this money?
16525Will you follow me through the search for the land, the purchase, and the tremendous house- cleaning of the first year?
16525Will you send for a lawyer?"
16525Will you stay on these terms?"
16525With all outdoors to choose from, why ape the crowded city streets?
16525With much to apologize for in barn and pigsty, why place them in the seat of honor?
16525Would I take$ 20 apiece for these trees?
16525Would he be better reconciled to his fate after spending his nine months between field and sty?
16525Would it appeal to them with the same force as to us?
16525Would it be satisfactory to us and to them?
16525Would these boys fight for the girls they had with them?
16525You bought it with your own money, did n''t you?
16525You save$ 50, do n''t you see?"
16525not, How little can she get on with?
16525times 320?

45154Does it include your sisters and the other boys''sisters?
45154Does n''t it make your mouth water?
45154Does n''t that read like sound advice?
45154Does n''t that sound like a book on what children should eat?
45154Does this not hint at mystery and something higher than mere intelligence?

45154Gyp Has An Ax to Grind] Did you try to teach your dog to retrieve by ducking him?
45154HAWS Is there any good reason why some of the people who used to be boys should never have a chance to taste any thorn apples now that they are older?
45154Has he a nest, and where and what is it?
45154Has it never occurred to them to practise it?
45154Has the burdock any vulnerable spot they wondered?

45154Have you seen beautiful"curly"places in fine woodwork?
45154Have you seen it smoke?
45154Honestly, now, is your dog worth his keep?
45154How about the farm dog, boys and girls?
45154How about your dog?
45154How are boys and girls going to find out what animals can do, how they live, how they make a living?
45154How are the boys of the family liked in the neighbourhood?
45154How can you make your own home a more desirable place for your brothers and sisters to live in?

45154How low at the back can you make it without bumping your head when you go inside?

45154How much can you count on your bees earning?
45154How much pay?"

45154How soon would you learn to swim by that method?
45154How would you like to grow pheasants?
45154If all your neighbours have bronze turkeys and the flocks are always getting mixed, why not try the buff or black or the white Holland?
45154If dust gets into that little puddle that ought not to be on top of the bottles does he wipe it off with a dirty rag, ignorant of the danger?

45154If you can help paint the barn, why not the house?
45154If you can plant trees in the orchard, why not shrubs in the door yard, and vines over the porch?
45154In making and erecting each piece ask yourself,"Will this be easy to clean?"
45154Is This Work or Play?]
45154Is it not evident that his life is one long series of narrow escapes?
45154Is it plain and unadorned and uncomfortable?
45154Is it some mortal ailment or mere"weakness of intellect?"
45154Is it winter?
45154Is it worth while for you to do this when the rest of the people do not?
45154Is the seed pod of the white one like that of the yellow?
45154Is there a little hay and dust in the pail?
45154Is there anything worth doing that does n''t take time and work?
45154Is there more than one tunnel?
45154Is there something wrong about boys and girls who prefer boxed berries and smooth hands to wild fruits and scratches?
45154Is"goin''plummin''"entirely out of fashion, even in the prairie states?
45154It is easier to go out and earn the money and give it to them to spend, but where do they come in?
45154It was perhaps a young Boston housekeeper who asked when her market man offered her Pekin ducks for her table,"How are they esteemed?"

45154MUSHROOMS"Are you sure these are good mushrooms?"

45154Now how is it made?
45154Now who expects to get stung all over?
45154OUTDOOR CLUBS Have you a boys''club in your neighbourhood?
45154Of course it would be good with game, but can you imagine eating barberry jelly with corn- fed pork or with fat mutton?
45154Or a big handful tied up in a grimy handkerchief?
45154Or a girls''club?
45154Or if there is n''t any idle land can you not persuade him to lend you an acre or so for experimental purposes?
45154Or if you live in Montana would you exchange buffalo berry marmalade with a Florida friend for guava jelly or preserved cumquats?
45154Or, if you sell cream, would n''t you want a cow whose milk tested high in butter fat?
45154Preserved calamus root, too; who buys that unless it is Br''er Rabbit?

45154THIMBLEBERRY Do you know the thimbleberry?
45154That children''s lives depend upon the care he gives it?
45154The pulp was squeezed dry and thrown away, was n''t it, at your cider mill?
45154The stub prevents healing] But if there is a limb to be cut off a tree in the door yard who is likely to be delegated to the job?
45154Then was it possible those blessed geese had been spending their precious vacation days gathering bay berry leaves?
45154They called it"mother"did n''t they?
45154To such boys and girls I say,"Did you ever see any pheasants?"
45154WHAT GOES ON IN THE BROOD CHAMBER?
45154Was there anything wonderful in this?
45154Well, that time has come, but, who ever went to a shop and asked for a weasel tippet?
45154What are his conspicuous characteristics?
45154What business has a spider in the wasp''s nest, if it is her nest?
45154What can a boy not do if he has the opportunity?

45154What kinds of clubs do boys like?
45154What makes it do this?
45154What more can you say about watermelon or strawberries?
45154What other farm crop will do as much?
45154What shaped roof will be easiest to build, most economical of lumber, and most satisfactory as a rain shed?
45154What will please them more than to know that you have a keen sense of honour?
45154When a crowd of boys meet together, what do they talk about?
45154When do the pods open and how?
45154Where are the insects in winter?
45154Where did the little tree come from whose top was cut off after the first bud was set?
45154Which shall you follow?
45154Who has a better right to the ashes than the boy who manages the ash pan?
45154Who has not heard old men say that?
45154Who picks all these nuts in the woods?
45154Who says now that the mink has disappeared?
45154Why do people, whose only fitness for telling stories lies in their having an imagination, make up such yarns about real things?
45154Why is this?
45154Why not have a club that the boys will take an interest in and a club that the girls will take an interest in?
45154Why not make up some neat attractive cases, each containing a little collection illustrating the four stages of the growth of this insect?
45154Why not provide her with a still more convenient forked stick as some bee- keepers do?
45154Why not put some thought on the very business he is engaged in?
45154Why not train a dog or a sheep to turn the crank?
45154Why should you not benefit by this?
45154Why was that?
45154Will not busy boys and girls make better citizens than idle ones?
45154Will not our bees work just as cheaply as those in foreign countries?
45154Will you do this?
45154Will you try it?
45154Will you try?
45154Would n''t it be a triumph to raise a family of these wonderful birds?
45154Would n''t it be worth while for the domestic science or cookery teacher in a country school to show her pupils how to utilize these home products?
45154Would n''t you, if you live in northern Michigan, like to exchange a pot of thimbleberry jam for one made in North Carolina from persimmons?
45154Would you ruin a fine young tree just beginning a life of usefulness?
45154XI MAKING THE COUNTRY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN I once asked Professor Bailey,"What is the most important farm crop raised in the United States?"
45154You believe everybody ought to know how to swim, do n''t you?
45154You can find frenzied advertisers trying to disprove these statements, but do not your own observations bear me out?
45154You have seen a fine board ruined by a knot hole?
45154You like him, of course, but is he a loafing, worthless, sneaking, sheep- killing dog?
45154You see patches of dead grass on many lawns, but do you find moles at work in these same lawns?
45154You used to have a literary society in school, and it failed?
45154_ Inky Caps._--You never expect to gather your dinner from an ash heap?
11696A baby in a bath- chair?

11696Are they?
11696Are we to part?
11696Being a good boy, Albert Edward?
11696Besides, Brothers, except for vermin, except for little accidents with evil things, what have we seen of killing?
11696But do n''t you want a nice straight road in the place of all these rotten rutty little lanes?
11696But his gun---?
11696But how is it it''s breaking out in this fashion, all over the place?
11696But if they seek to prevent us?
11696But now?
11696But the hens,said Mr. Bensington;"how are the hens?"
11696But they-- If they want to part us--"What can they do?
11696But we might--"Whither?
11696But what can they do if we do n''t?
11696But what can you do?
11696But what do they propose to do?
11696But where am I to go?
11696But where is it going? 11696 But why?"
11696But you do n''t propose---?
11696But-- what are you?
11696By- the- bye,he said, with a slightly lowered voice,"how does_ she_--?"
11696By- the- bye,he said,"you do n''t give those little chicks meat?"
11696Ca n''t the brasted fool sit on a''ouse or somethin''?
11696Cousin Jane? 11696 D''yer mean they_ got_ Flack?"

11696Do n''t you know what''s become of him?
11696Do n''t you know? 11696 Do n''t you know?"
11696Do they say much about_ Us_?
11696Do you know what happened to my Son?
11696Do you know,she asked,"that to love me-- is high treason?"
11696Do you mean there are other-- giants?
11696Do you mean to say,she repeated stupidly,"that there are other giants in the world?
11696Do you mean--?
11696Do you notice how he has dropped into the way of calling it Boomfood?
11696Do you see,he would say, for example,"that Caterham has been talking about our stuff at the Church Association?"
11696Doing well?
11696Every one loaded?
11696Flack''s down?
11696For the Royal Society?
11696From them?
11696Growing?

11696Have you heard anything-- about buying the farm?
11696Have you seen the paper these last few days?
11696He shall play with this first, sing to it and give names to the notes,said Redwood,"and afterwards--?"
11696Healthy?
11696How d''yer_ mean_?
11696How is it to be done?
11696How many?
11696How much what?
11696How much?
11696How the Deuce am_ I_ to know till I see a paper? 11696 How''s it all going?"
11696How?
11696How?
11696How_ could_ I?
11696Hullo,said Cossar,"back already?
11696Hullo?
11696Hypertrophy?
11696I said,said Mr. Bensington, with the self- complacency of a man who has produced a good significant saying,"Why solitary?"
11696I suppose all the lot_ I_ used to know-- Chamberlain, Rosebery-- all that lot--_What_?
11696I thuppothe there''athen''t been any trouble with any of thethe big waptheth to- day anywhere?
11696I wonder what they''ll do?
11696I''m glad to find you here,he began;"the fact is--""Have you seen about this Royal Commission?"
11696If there was n''t gentlefolks to make work for us to do,said Mrs. Caddles,"how should we poor people get a living?"
11696Is Mr. Bensington hurt?
11696Meaning that one might bring up other children---?
11696Money in your pocket?
11696Mother,he would say,"if it''s good to work, why does n''t every one work?"
11696Mr. Redwood, Sir,he began,"would you be willing to come to Mr. Caterham?
11696My dear,he cried;"but does it matter?
11696Name?
11696Nice to''ave a few thousand of_ them_ on the rates, eh?
11696No?
11696Not for a time?
11696Nothing better?
11696Now is there-- anything? 11696 On Herakleophorbia?"
11696Only--He broke off abruptly to ask,"You will not part from me?"
11696Ought we-- what?
11696Ought you to publish?
11696Poison?
11696Rats about?
11696Rats?
11696Redwood,said Bensington;"it''s a curious thing to say, I know, but-- do you think Winkles understands?"
11696Said, where is a seat?
11696Said, where is the sea?
11696Skinner?
11696So far as I can grasp the symptoms--"Yes?
11696So far? 11696 Splash it about, Sir?"
11696Suppose they come to terms?
11696Suppose they do n''t?
11696The other Giants?
11696The rats?
11696The thing is, Bensington, what are we to do?
11696Then why did you begin?
11696They are fighting now?
11696They do n''t denounce us at all?
11696They shot him?
11696Think of the unborn...."Brothers,came the voice of young Redwood,"what can we do but fight them, and if we beat them, make them take the Food?
11696This your stuff?
11696To Caterham?
11696To help others?
11696To me?
11696Wa, wa, wa, wa---But shall we hear Caterham any better?
11696Wawawawa---What did it matter?
11696We would assign them territory--"Where?
11696We? 11696 Well, what''s the matter with that child?
11696Well, why do n''t you stop it?
11696Well, why not?
11696Well,he would say, rubbing his hands,"how are we getting on?"
11696Well--?
11696Well?
11696What I want to know,said Lady Wondershoot,"is it_ right_ this child should have such an extraordinary quantity of milk?"
11696What are ye doing up here, ye swarming little people, while I''m a- cuttin''chalk for ye, down in the chalk pits there?
11696What are ye for, ye swarming little people? 11696 What are_ we_ to do?"
11696What can it be but war? 11696 What did he say?"
11696What did you say?
11696What do you mean? 11696 What do you mean?"
11696What do you think of him, Bensington? 11696 What do you think of it?"
11696What does this_ mean_?
11696What else is there to do?
11696What has come to our brother Redwood?
11696What has happened?
11696What have you done to our child, Dandy?
11696What have you to tell me?
11696What is it all for?
11696What is it?
11696What is the matter?
11696What new folly have these people got into their heads?
11696What of my son?
11696What time?
11696What traffic?
11696What was that?
11696What was that?
11696What''s he say?
11696What''s he saying?
11696What''s the matter?
11696What''s this?
11696What''s wrong with him?
11696What''s_ that_?
11696What-- the''ens?

11696Where do they make such men?
11696Where is my son, Cossar?
11696Where is my son?

11696Where?
11696Which way?
11696Who cares what they can do, or what they will do? 11696 Who else, Sir?"
11696Who gave the orders?
11696Who have always been if anything a little_ under_--_under_--"The Average?
11696Who would n''t be reactionary? 11696 Who''s this here Caterham?"
11696Who_ was_ he?
11696Why ca n''t they lea''me alone?
11696Why do n''t we all do the obvious?
11696Why does he keep on about it? 11696 Why should I walk within bounds and be refused all the wonders of the world beyond there?
11696Why should I work in this pit day after day?
11696Why should they not agree?
11696Why solitary?
11696Why? 11696 Why?"
11696Why?
11696Will you come?
11696Yes,said the eldest brother;"but what exactly does that mean?
11696You ai n''t''eard anything of Mithith Thkinner?
11696You ai n''t''eard anything of Mithith Thkinner?
11696You do n''t mean it''s contagious?
11696You do n''t propose to discontinue--"In the case of your little boy? 11696 You do n''t think,"he said, turning on her abruptly,"that there''s anything in the sort of thing he said?"
11696You going to shoot off those at me?
11696You have lit to- day--? 11696 You have n''t told these people here?
11696You have never heard of us? 11696 You have not heard?"
11696You have thought?
11696You know nothing?
11696You left Flack?
11696You mean it''s a chick?
11696You mean,he said,"what are we to do?"
11696You mean--?
11696You mean?
11696You think it would do?
11696You wo n''t, eh?
11696You''aven''t''eard anything about Mithith Thkinner,''ave you?
11696You''re going into the holes?
11696Your Son, Sir? 11696 _ Buy the place_?"
11696_ Disturbance_? 11696 _ What_?"
11696_ Why_ do you like doing that?
11696_ You_? 11696 ''Asn''t any one''ad the sense to tell you the law?
11696''Asn''t no one ever told you?"
11696''Aven''t they told you-- any of''em?
11696''This is a matter of life and death,''I said,''do n''t you understand?''
11696("But why should n''t one oil the engine from without?"
11696A drunken American sailor wandered about tearfully inquiring,"What''s he want anyhow?"
11696After all,_ ought_ we to go on with it?"
11696And another,"What of that?"
11696And besides-- The rest?"
11696And beyond?
11696And going unanswered,"What''s work_ for_, mother?
11696And if we do n''t?
11696And now--""Now?"
11696And now?
11696And the earwigs will get out of your way--""But about the ratth?"
11696And then:"Did you chaps get''i m?"
11696And then?
11696And where were Skinner''s boots, for example?

11696Big_ dogth_ or_ catth_ or anything of_ that_ thort?
11696But in that way, without cruelty, without injustice--""And suppose the Children do not agree?"
11696But still, what can they do?"
11696But why had he been arrested?
11696Ca n''t we find out something the little people_ want_ done and do it for them-- just for the fun of doing it?
11696Ca n''t you see you''re a- frightening the''orses?
11696Could n''t we, brother?
11696Cousin Jane?
11696Curious, is n''t it?
11696D''you think this world was made for old women to mop about in?
11696Did it mean--?
11696Did you get behind them?"
11696Did you see?
11696Do I speak for you, Brothers?"
11696Do n''t you see the prospect before us clear as day?
11696Do you mean to just grizzle and obstruct passively and do nothing-- till the sands are out?"
11696Do you think I will stop for their little rules, for their little prohibitions, their scarlet boards indeed!--and keep from_ you_?"
11696Do you think-- indeed--?
11696Do?
11696Eh?
11696Eh?
11696Eh?
11696Eh?
11696Eh?
11696Enough?
11696Even if they should destroy us every one, what then?
11696Food of Titans.... You prefer the former?
11696Got a telephone?
11696Got money?
11696Guns?
11696Have you killed them all?"
11696Have you no mercy?
11696Have you not heard?"
11696Have you scientific men_ no_ imagination?
11696Have you succeeded?
11696He had been frightened at times and disturbed, but was he not alive still and the same still?
11696He heard Cossar below him insisting,"How else could the thing be done?
11696He repeated,"Did you not know?"
11696He said--""Your specialist in Tact?"
11696He stretched a vast hand towards a cab that became convulsively eager to serve him("Cab, Sir?"
11696He would meditate,"_ Why_?"
11696How had it got there?
11696How the deuce are they to understand that?
11696I ask you, Sir, what can it be but war?
11696I suppose it must be sulphur, eh?
11696I wonder if it''s Research makes''em like that or Cousin Jane or what?"
11696If it had n''t been for Cossar-- Cossar is there?"
11696If so be they_ be_ thissels?
11696Interrupting?
11696Is it fair to the children themselves??
11696Is it fair to the children themselves??
11696Is n''t that all?"
11696It drooped its eyes half shut and said,''Then why do n''t you go the other two hundred pounds?''
11696It is the step we fight for and not ourselves.... We are here, Brothers, to what end?
11696It''s going to dislocate-- What is n''t it going to dislocate?"
11696Itth the ratth I keep a thinking of--''Ow do I know they''aven''t got at Mithith Thkinner while I been up''ere?"
11696Just to loaf about between meal- times?
11696Just what does it mean-- when that day of trouble comes?"
11696License?
11696Next?
11696No doubt they had got Cossar also?
11696Now what sort of books will he need?
11696Odd?
11696One I broke the neck of as it ran past me... See?
11696Or was it nothing?
11696Or''ave I been forgetting?"
11696Rats?
11696Redwood--?"
11696See?
11696See?
11696See?"
11696See?"
11696See?"
11696Sent?
11696Sort of politician, eh?"
11696Sulphur best, eh?"
11696Take the lot in a cab to-- where''s the place?
11696That some food--?"
11696That too might mean many things?
11696The Food of the Gods?"
11696The Food--""Herakleophorbia?"
11696The nutrition of a possible Hercules?
11696The parents, the squire and so on at the big house, the doctor, no one?"
11696Then in a voice that broke he asked:"What has he done to my Son?"
11696Then standing up, and with a swift change of manner:"What''s this?"
11696There''s no more road beyond... Is that Father Redwood?"
11696They may fight against greatness in us who are the children of men, but can they conquer?
11696They who are little can hide from one another, but where are we to hide?
11696Think you can do it?
11696Though clever as could be,"said Mrs. Skinner...."Where''s this child?"
11696Unless you mean to take this Food also, what else is there to do in all the world?
11696We hate it, we do n''t want it; why then should we have it?
11696What Good will it do, he asks, to make poor people six- and- thirty feet high?
11696What am I to do about him?"
11696What are all you people doing with yourselves?
11696What are they doin''?
11696What are they doin''for me while I''m a- cuttin''chalk?
11696What are we coming to?"
11696What are ye all doing, what are ye all for?
11696What are you?
11696What business is it of these little wretches, where we love, how we love?
11696What can they do?"
11696What can you hope to do now?
11696What could it mean?
11696What could it mean?
11696What d''you think you were made for?
11696What did it mean?
11696What difference has it made?
11696What do they want?
11696What do you hope to do?"
11696What does it mean?
11696What else could it be?
11696What else is there to do?"
11696What else?"
11696What good is it to do anything now?
11696What good would it do to kill the giant human when the gigantic in all the lower things had now inevitably come?
11696What have I done, to be condemned to this?"
11696What have they and their world to do with us?"
11696What is it I do not understand?"
11696What is it all for, and where do I come in?"
11696What is the matter?"
11696What is their right-- right without a shadow of reason-- and their treason and their loyalty to us?"
11696What is there more than that?
11696What is there to fight for more?
11696What is this Food of the Gods?
11696What more could any one desire?
11696What must she be thinking of him?
11696What of that?
11696What oh... eh?
11696What other law can there be?"
11696What other monsters might not those deepening shadows hide?
11696What place is there for us among these multitudes?
11696What right have parents to say, My child shall have no light but the light I have had, shall grow no greater than the greatness to which I have grown?
11696What shall we set him to do?"
11696What then?
11696What was he seeking?
11696What was it?
11696What was that?
11696What was the man saying?
11696What was this, warm and wet, on his hand?
11696What worm did they think was living in my giant body?
11696What''s difficult about that?
11696What''s it all for?
11696What''s making them grow so big?
11696What''s the matter with everything-- wasps, puff- balls, babies, eh?
11696What''s the trouble?
11696What''s the trouble?"
11696What''s the world coming to?
11696What''s wrong with him?"
11696What, after all, could Caterham do?
11696What_ can_ they do?"
11696Where are the others?"
11696Where can I get sulphur by the ton in portable sacks?
11696Where does it come from?
11696Where''s Flack?
11696Where''s the bother?"
11696Where''s the lamps?
11696Where''s your bank?
11696Who else could have thought of that?
11696Why ca n''t they lea''me alone?"
11696Why have they kept it from me, that I am not alone?"
11696Why should I come to your exploded windbag?
11696Why should I?"
11696Why should we after all eat, drink, and sleep, remain unmarried, go here, abstain from going there, all out of deference to Cousin Jane?
11696Why should we lie?
11696Why should we temporise?
11696Why was it necessary to keep him in ignorance of a thing like that?
11696Why, after all, was he seized?
11696Why?
11696Will it make them better?
11696Will it make them happier?
11696Will they be more respectful to properly constituted authority?
11696Will this little world of theirs be as it was before?
11696Wot''s it all bloomin''well_ for_?"
11696Wot''s it all_ for_?
11696Would it save them?
11696Would that grey- headed duffer never have done?
11696You have lit to- day--?"
11696You''aven''t''eard anything of thith''ere thtory bout my''enth,''ave you?"
11696You''re quite sure it would n''t be wiser to warn Winkles, wean your little boy gradually, and-- and rely upon the Theoretical Triumph?"
11696_ Ought_ you?"
11696_ Swish, swish, swish, pitter, patter, swish_--... What was that?
11696_ Upset things_?
11696_ Urshot_?
11696_ What are you to do_?
11696_ What_ for?
11696_ Why_ five?
11696_ Why_?
11696he murmured in a mournful vast undertone,"What is it all for?
11696he said at their expressions, and entering,"Well?"
11696he said, and repeated still more darkly,"_ Why_ solitary?"
11696said Bensington,"that''s a cousin of the Prime Minister, is n''t it?"
11696said the little folks,"is n''t it?
11696swore Cossar,"where''s everything got to?"
