11555 | But now arose a difficulty which had not previously occurred to us: Who was to make it? |
11555 | Have any of our readers ever seen the densely- loaded wagons which enter that market? |
11555 | Here 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? |
11555 | I.--WHERE SHALL WE LIVE? |
11555 | Must we give it up? |
11555 | Now what could I complain of? |
11555 | WHERE SHALL WE LIVE? |
11555 | We inquired, Why? |
11555 | What in the world could that mean? |
11555 | What shall we not make now that we have more stock, our ground well cropped, and, better still, have gained so much experience?" |
11555 | What were we to do? |
11555 | Where, indeed?" |
11555 | cried I;"how much do you intend to give a- year for all these conveniences:""How much?" |
11555 | get the staircases fixed, the doors and windows put in, the walls papered and painted?" |
11555 | must 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.? |
35696 | But how shall we obtain fertilizers? |
35696 | Then 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?" |
35696 | A thousand? |
35696 | And how shall any one be enlightened and assured on the point, unless by the aid of Science? |
35696 | But how? |
35696 | Can we doubt that this steady recession of our Egypt, our Hungary, is destined to continue? |
35696 | Five hundred? |
35696 | He who has a farm already, and is content with it, has no reason to ask,"Whither shall I go?" |
35696 | How can we have good Fairs, if those who might make the best display of products save themselves the trouble by not making any? |
35696 | How 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? |
35696 | How nearly have we realized this? |
35696 | If he does the best he can, what better_ can_ he do? |
35696 | If so, at what profit? |
35696 | If the produce is sold, most farmers know how much it brings; but how many know how much it cost? |
35696 | Most farmers fail to keep accounts with their several fields and crops; yet what could be more instructive than these? |
35696 | Of course, he must improve and enrich it; but with what? |
35696 | Ought we to do it? |
35696 | Say the Corn brings 75 cents per bushel, and the Oats 50 cents: was either or both produced at a profit? |
35696 | Shall 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? |
35696 | Shall not these things be considered? |
35696 | The good farmer begins by inquiring,"Wherein was my soil originally deficient? |
35696 | Then why did they not try? |
35696 | Two hundred? |
35696 | WILL FARMING PAY? |
35696 | Why should not our Atlantic slope have its Lombardy? |
35696 | Will Farming Pay? |
35696 | Will it Pay? |
35696 | Will it pay? |
35696 | _ Five_ thousand? |
35696 | and how? |
35696 | and of what has it been exhausted by subsequent crops?" |
21022 | A thin layer of clay_ a_ entirely prevents the water running through] If water can not get through can air? |
21022 | And are you sure that your litmus does not contain excess of free acid or free alkali? |
21022 | Are there any pebbles left? |
21022 | Are you quite certain of your result? |
21022 | But what would happen if instead of a piece of clay one inch long you had a whole field of clay? |

21022 | Is the soil equally friable at different times of the year? |
21022 | Is there any change in its appearance after heating? |
21022 | Is there any effervescence? |
21022 | Is there any evidence of vegetable matter in the soil? |
21022 | Is this because clay is lighter than water? |
21022 | Is this solution acid, alkaline or neutral? |

17683 | How will we propagate this valuable race of the cherry? |
17683 | Is it not by the invaluable aid of men who have given their whole lives to the solution of some special problem? |
17683 | Is not the expert swine- grower the successful man? |
17683 | It plainly indicated to these observers that some important event was impending, and what could be more important than the birth of a great man? |
17683 | Now brother farmers, I have moved the adoption of appropriate names for every farm in the land; who will second the motion? |
17683 | Petted, well- housed, demure, and sleek; Three times a day he is called to feast, And why should he not be quiet and meek? |
17683 | There is a beautiful little song entitled,"What is Home Without a Mother?" |
17683 | What are the laws in regard to drainage passed by the last Legislature? |
17683 | What can I do for them? |
17683 | What do you s''pose marm''ll say?" |
17683 | What is it moves that jeweled throng of dainty worshippers? |
17683 | What is the reason of this? |

29665 | Did n''t I tell you this sort of business had got to stop? |
29665 | Dreaming,is him? |
29665 | Drunk, as usual,she said, harshly,"when were you anything else?" |
29665 | Have you the impudence to follow me here? 29665 I suppose you would like to learn how to avoid them?" |
29665 | I wish to present to you--"What? |
29665 | Jane, do n''t you know me? |
29665 | Lack culture, eh? 29665 Mean? |
29665 | Names? 29665 Oh, he did n''t? |
29665 | So? |
29665 | Strange I wanted to see it, was n''t it? 29665 Well,"said the old fellow,"is that all? |
29665 | What do you mean? |
29665 | Where d''ye s''pose? |
29665 | Where''s Derby? |
29665 | Why, father, you do n''t know Mr. Spickle, do you? |
29665 | ***** Arthur--"I say, what do you mean by fighting my hog all the time?" |
29665 | *****"What did that lady say?" |
29665 | A trouble and a disgrace, am I?" |
29665 | As the first man below must be consulted, why not the second, and how far this side of the Gulf is the limit of this trespass? |

29665 | Starting with the question,"WHAT IS MANURE?" |
29665 | Take the girl, if that''s what you want, but say, did n''t I tell you to bring the bill to- morrow?" |
29665 | The American Cultivator:"Can you tell we what kind of weather we may expect next month?" |

12140 | And now,concluded Cossinius,"which of you Italian swine breeders will stand forth and tell us of his herd? |
12140 | And what kind of a villa is this,said Axius, turning to Merula,"where there are neither the ornaments of a town house nor the utensils of a farm?" |
12140 | Are they those concerning feeding cattle, of which you spoke to me yesterday? |
12140 | Has the festival of the seed- sowing drawn you hither to spend your holiday after the manner of our ancestors, by praying for good crops? |
12140 | Quid meruere boves, animal sine fraude dolisque Innocuum, simplex, natum tolerare labores? 12140 What are the quarters of the moon,"said Agrius,"and what bearing have they on agriculture?" |
12140 | What are you doing here? |
12140 | What? |
12140 | Where, then, Axius, do you wish me to begin? |
12140 | Would 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? |
12140 | You 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?" |
12140 | And who does not know the fame of the fish ponds of Philippus, of Hortensius, and of the brothers Lucullus? |
12140 | And will you see this? |
12140 | Did it come out of the Illinois tunnel?" |
12140 | Do we not see some things grow best in the spring, others in summer, some in autumn, and others again in winter? |
12140 | Do you sell to the butcher the hogs which you raise at your farm for more than Seius sells his wild boars to the meat market?" |
12140 | Does any one want to exclude any thing else?" |
12140 | For of two things of equal usefulness, who would not prefer to buy the better looking? |
12140 | Have not Sergius Orata( goldfish) and Licinius Murena( lamprey) taken their cognomens from fishes for this reason? |
12140 | How? |
12140 | In other respects the traditional formula is employed thus: the buyer says to the seller,"Do you sell me these sheep for so much?" |
12140 | Is it an art, and, if so, what are its principles and its purposes?" |
12140 | Is not Italy so covered with fruit trees that it seems one vast orchard? |
12140 | On the other hand, what useful thing is there which does not only grow but flourish in Italy? |
12140 | To the funeral? |

12140 | What kind of vineyard? |
12140 | What oil with that of Venafrum? |
12140 | What shall I say of large cattle? |
12140 | What shall I say of the health of these animals who never have any? |
12140 | What spelt shall I compare with that of Campania? |
12140 | What wheat with that of Apulia? |
12140 | What wine with that of Falernum? |
12140 | When we had approached them Axius, smiling, said to Appius:"May we come into your aviary where you are sitting among the birds?" |
12140 | Whose funeral? |
12140 | [ 47] In what land does one jugerum produce ten, nay even fifteen, cullei of wine, as in some regions of Italy? |

17512 | And what reason does he advance? |
17512 | And you have no trouble now in exposing yourself to the winds of the Atlantic? |
17512 | But what has that to do with old maids? |
17512 | But what have roast beef, red clover, bumble- bees, and field- mice got to do with old maids? |
17512 | But where do the old maids come in? |
17512 | Did, eh? |
17512 | Give an example? |
17512 | Is there no way to soften care, And make it easier to bear Life''s sorrows and vexations? |

17512 | Let me see, what will the relationship be? 17512 Marry, ma''am? |
17512 | Mother,said Mrs. Wimbush,"what on earth brought you here? |
17512 | No? 17512 Well, about the old maids?" |

17512 | Why is it up hill all the way? |
17512 | Why, do n''t you see? 17512 AM I A SCOT, OR AM I NOT? 17512 Asked my heart always, in joy or in sorrow,Will it please Robin, the thing that I do?" |
17512 | Brookshank?" |
17512 | But if all this be true the question at once presents itself, Why have not American women engaged largely in sericulture? |
17512 | But what is our foreign trade? |
17512 | But what was all this fainting about? |
17512 | Ca n''t you find time to write a few lines to the readers of THE PRAIRIE FARMER? |
17512 | Can we do without separators? |
17512 | Can-- will you be content with that, Or will you further tacks me?" |
17512 | Do n''t you perceive that the bumble- bees would soon become exterminated by the field- mice if it were not for--""Old maids?" |
17512 | Do you see the point?" |
17512 | Does the basket willow have to be cultivated like a field crop? |
17512 | Going to get married, or what?" |
17512 | Have you no butter, eggs, fowls, honey, or bees- wax to sell from this good farm? |
17512 | How is it? |
17512 | How many brood- frames are necessary in one hive? |
17512 | How many colonies can be kept in one locality? |
17512 | I heard her sob:"And if I could, I''d get my lessons awful good, But what''s the use of trying?" |
17512 | I may rely upon your consent?" |
17512 | Is it advisable to have a standard- size frame for all bee- keepers? |
17512 | Is n''t it about time the Department of Agriculture at Washington sat a little down on this man who writes too much with his pen? |
17512 | Is there more than one kind, and if so which is best? |
17512 | Mr. Granger, what are you doing these long winter evenings? |
17512 | Mrs. Ellwood, much to the chagrin of her husband, remarked:"This seems to me a better device than your own, do n''t it to you?" |
17512 | Now if file love you just a bit, What further can you ax me? |
17512 | Now is Providence to be charged with this disparity? |
17512 | Now, first, who was Juniper?" |
17512 | Oh, in that wonderfu'', wonderfu''meeting, What shall I say to him? |
17512 | One said to the other"By the way how is that Catarrh of yours?" |
17512 | SYKES''SURE CURE FOR CATARRH;''oh, why did n''t I know of it before? |
17512 | She has said so, do n''t you see?" |
17512 | THE FIRST QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED IS,--is the diamond pure-- a genuine stone? |
17512 | The material? |
17512 | The second question is, IS THE PAPER A DESIRABLE FAMILY JOURNAL? |
17512 | What can I say about it? |
17512 | What can be done to prevent adulteration of honey? |
17512 | What has Dr. Loring to say on the subject? |
17512 | What kind of soil is best adapted to its cultivation? |
17512 | What shall we do with second swarms? |
17512 | What woman can not talk better when she knows she looks well? |
17512 | When will you be old enough to attend to business? |
17512 | Which are best-- deep or shallow frames? |
17512 | Which is the most salable section-- one- half, one, or two pounds? |
17512 | Who can be indifferent in the face of our great perils, and recounting the losses by foreign restrictions and inhibition? |
17512 | Why this difference? |
17512 | Will we not, fellow- contributors? |
17512 | You will accept him, of course? |
17512 | that it is a handsome ornament for a living room or library? |
17512 | what will he say? |
38955 | And do you regard your cure as permanent? |
38955 | But did n''t they try to relieve your miseries? |
38955 | But how can these be discovered? |
38955 | But how did you finally recover? |
38955 | Butter? 38955 Can you hit the lady for the gentleman, Johnny?" |
38955 | Come, Willie; why, what''s the matter? 38955 Consulted them? |
38955 | During your residence here have you experienced the bad results of living in this climate? |
38955 | Have you any more of that prime Scotch ale? |
38955 | How old are you, my son? |
38955 | How will it end? |
38955 | How? |
38955 | Is this what you came to tell me? |
38955 | Judging from your recital, Mr. Ashley, there must be wonderful curative properties about this medicine? |
38955 | Of course you consulted the doctors regarding your difficulty? |
38955 | Pa, I have signed the pledge,said a little boy to his father, on coming home one evening;"will you help me keep it?" |
38955 | Tell me, to what bills do you refer? |
38955 | To go back to the original subject, Mr. Ashley, I suppose you see the same familiar faces about the lobby session after session? |
38955 | Uncle, when sis sings in the choir Sunday nights, why does she go behind the organ and taste the tenor''s mustache? |
38955 | Was it not an idea? |
38955 | Was that not better than this? |
38955 | Well, I have brought a copy of the pledge; will you sign it, papa? |
38955 | Well, you wo n''t ask me to pass the bottle, papa? |
38955 | What do you think of it? 38955 What have you to drink?" |
38955 | What proportion of these blood- bills are successful? |
38955 | Where''s the ale, Willie? |
38955 | Why? |
38955 | You do not regard the lobby, as a body, vicious, do you? |
38955 | You 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? |
38955 | Are there any which do not blight? |
38955 | Ashley?" |
38955 | Ashley?" |
38955 | But he slipped his hands into his pockets, looked appealingly at McGilp, and said, shrugging his shoulders,"You see how it is, Mac?" |
38955 | But how is this to be accomplished? |
38955 | But, Captain, do n''t you suppose there were giants there long ago, in the former generations? |
38955 | Can Congress longer hesitate in this matter of providing an efficient law for protection from contagious animal diseases? |
38955 | Can not THE PRAIRIE FARMER start a boom that will lead to the establishment of an Arbor Day all over the State? |
38955 | Can you give me the facts? |
38955 | DR. J. F. SCHLIEMAN, HARTFORD, WIS.--Are there any works on the cultivation of the blueberry, and if so could you furnish the same? |
38955 | Dilly- dally Dilly, How can you be so slow? |
38955 | Do you know of any parties that cultivate them? |
38955 | Do you know, Mr. X., that I never knew he had been married till after he had fled? |
38955 | Finally, said he, What has that got to do with my question about buying cattle and sheep at the stock yards? |
38955 | H. 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? |
38955 | Had the other woman tired of him already? |
38955 | How many of those people became customers? |
38955 | How would you class it? |
38955 | I asked myself, or was it really true, as his father had told me, that he had fled alone? |
38955 | I demanded of a peasant, who was reaping grain on the sands of the sea- shore, how long ago this change took place? |
38955 | Is not blue grass pasture the best thing I can give my hogs? |
38955 | Know ye not that cities are not now part of the human economy? |
38955 | L. C. LEANIARTT(?) |
38955 | Might n''t the former race have been giants? |
38955 | Now 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? |
38955 | Now, Puddin'', you can blow those things pretty straight, ca n''t you?" |
38955 | Professor-- And I suppose you know something about the Patagonians and their habits? |
38955 | Professor-- But how could you know that they used not to be giants? |
38955 | Professor-- But how did you satisfy yourself? |
38955 | Professor-- How did you ascertain this fact, Captain? |
38955 | Professor-- I wanted to ask you, Captain, about the size of the Patagonians-- whether they are giants, as travelers have reported? |
38955 | Shall I follow the directions you gave Mr. Perkins in THE PRAIRIE FARMER, February 9? |
38955 | The father was deeply moved, and turning to his brother- officers, he said:"Gentlemen, do you hear that? |
38955 | The point upon which I beg leave to differ from the gentleman is, should a farmer have a smattering idea of everything pertaining to farming? |
38955 | This is all there is of it; simple, is it not? |
38955 | What could I do when my brother- officers called-- the father had been in the army-- if I was a teetotaler?" |
38955 | What do you say? |
38955 | What else could I reply than,"Why do you lead it then?" |
38955 | What evidence could you get? |
38955 | What is the phylloxera, and what shall I do to my grape vines if they infest the roots? |
38955 | What is your name, my son?" |
38955 | What must we do? |
38955 | What pears would you recommend for this latitude? |
38955 | Why continue the tale? |
38955 | Why do n''t Bismarck try this home remedy for his complication of gout and trichinà ¦? |
38955 | Why do n''t you try To be more spry, And not dilly- dally so? |
38955 | Why not? |
38955 | Why? |
38955 | Will it be necessary to keep them out till the grass gets a good start? |
38955 | Will you please regard this as a kind of an introduction into your"association?" |
38955 | Willie, have you your temperance pledge?" |
38955 | You remember Frank left some things in my care when he went away? |
26975 | A perennial question in agricultural education is: What is the function of the agricultural college? |
26975 | And if he can, is he to be an aristocrat, a landlord, a captain of industry, and to bear rule over the mossback? |
26975 | And is the tribe of mossbacks destined to increase and become a caste of permanent tenants or peasants? |
26975 | And the test question is, Will this line of work yield me the growth, the culture, I desire? |
26975 | And where is Hesperia? |
26975 | And why not? |
26975 | Are there not for them some of the blessings that come from a highly organized society? |
26975 | Are there not, in the country also, opportunities for the co- operation of mind and heart for common service? |
26975 | At the outset the queries may arise, What is meant by rural social science? |
26975 | But do they differ in this respect from their cousins of the town? |
26975 | But have not the women of the country some resources of a similar character? |
26975 | But have we yet reached the heart of the question? |
26975 | But 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? |
26975 | But in his heart of hearts he ponders the deeper questions: What may I become in real intellectual and moral worth? |
26975 | But is it insoluble? |
26975 | But is the charge wholly just? |
26975 | But the burden of the suggestion at this point is this: Can not the churches unite sufficiently for a thorough religious and sociological canvass? |
26975 | But what are the elements that yield culture to an individual? |
26975 | But what of that? |
26975 | CHAPTER V CULTURE FROM THE CORN LOT[2] The question of questions that the college student asks himself is, What am I going to be? |
26975 | Can I extract culture from the corn lot? |
26975 | Can it announce, in sound terms, its proposed group policy? |
26975 | Can it develop efficient leaders? |
26975 | Can it lend the group influence to genuine social progress? |
26975 | Can not the Granges of New England profitably co- operate more fully? |
26975 | Can the farming class secure and maintain a fairly complete organization? |
26975 | Can the new farmer maintain the same relative social status? |
26975 | Can they not in some way break the bonds of isolation? |
26975 | Could not boards of agriculture co- operate to some extent, especially in farmers''institute work with general plans and ideas? |
26975 | Do they stunt or encourage the inner life? |
26975 | Does 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? |
26975 | Does not this discussion at least show the supreme importance of the question? |
26975 | Does one say, this is asking too much of the burdened country pastor with his meager salary and widespread parish? |
26975 | How can rural teachers learn to appreciate the social function of the rural school, except they be taught? |
26975 | How can this co- operation be brought about? |
26975 | How far can this idea be developed in the country school? |
26975 | How is this man to be reached, inspired, instructed? |
26975 | How large a man, measured by the divine standards, will it be possible for me to grow into? |
26975 | If they can not federate on a theological platform, can they not unite on a statistical platform? |
26975 | If they can not unite for religious work, can they not join hands long enough to secure a more intelligent basis for their separate work? |
26975 | In 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? |
26975 | Is he not indeed the logical candidate for general social leadership in the rural community? |
26975 | Is not Ben Bolt''s new top buggy as legitimate a topic for discussion as is Arthur John Smythe''s new automobile? |
26975 | Is the ambition to own a fine farm more ignoble than the desire to own shares in a copper mine? |
26975 | Is the country continually gaining in those things that are fundamentally important and that minister to its best life? |
26975 | Is the farm problem one of technique plus business skill, plus these broad economic considerations? |
26975 | Is the idea of a genuine New England fair a mere dream? |
26975 | Is there any good reason why this ambition is not worthy, or why its goal should not be won? |
26975 | It may be asked, How does the order manage to advocate public measures without becoming involved in partisan squabbles? |
26975 | Know what? |
26975 | Let me ask if the pastor has any other road to power except_ to know_? |
26975 | May not the grove at Turtle Lake yield as keen enjoyment as do the continental forests? |
26975 | Shall we not all work together for the betterment both of the farm and of the farmer? |
26975 | So the question will arise, Can he get any help from education in the handling of the business phases of his farm? |
26975 | The surface query is, What am I going to_ do_? |
26975 | WHAT IS THE FARM PROBLEM? |
26975 | What are his tools? |
26975 | What are some of these regular agencies? |
26975 | What are these needs? |
26975 | What classes of people may be expected to welcome and profit by instruction of this character? |
26975 | What does this adaptation consist in? |
26975 | What is it that makes the new farmer? |
26975 | What results have I been able to discover growing out of this work? |
26975 | What shall be his attitude toward them? |
26975 | What was my ideal in organizing such associations? |
26975 | Who is he? |
26975 | Will agriculture as a business, will the farm life and environment, contribute to the growth which I desire for myself? |
26975 | Will not the farmers rally themselves to and league themselves with the men who are trying to forward the best interests of the farm? |
26975 | Yet would we expect from either system the same social fruitage that has been harvested from our American yeomanry? |
26975 | and, What is there to be investigated and taught under such a head? |
5992 | And do you really mean to say you drank it, Salter? |
5992 | Are we going into the water? |
5992 | Are you not_ very_ lonely here? |
5992 | Are_ you_ going, then? |
5992 | Good gracious, F----,I cried, when we had passed,"who is that man?" |
5992 | Have you ever gone to see a London club? |
5992 | How about the carriage? |
5992 | How big were the mushrooms? |
5992 | How can you be fond of thousands of anything? |
5992 | How is that, Palmer? |
5992 | How many have you got? |
5992 | Is it possible you are crying about that? |
5992 | Is the ground level? |
5992 | None, I am happy to say,I answered peevishly,"What could Nettle and I have done with the horrible things if we had caught any?" |
5992 | What are we going to have for supper? |
5992 | What in the world has happened? |
5992 | What in the world have they to do with each other? |
5992 | What is it? 5992 What will you take for that little grey filly when she is broken?" |
5992 | Where did you learn to cook? |
5992 | Where: oh, where? |
5992 | Why did you go? |
5992 | Why did you think you should find gold here? |
5992 | You do n''t mind being left? |
5992 | And how do you think he did it, with two pillars of hice for legs? |
5992 | Arrah, why could n''t ye let it be thin?" |
5992 | As for the kitchen, its state can not be better described than in my Irish cook''s words, who cried,"Did mortial man ever see sich a ridiklous mess? |
5992 | At last he said, with the sweat from sheer agony pouring down his face,"Look here, matey: could n''t you hump me out in the snow again? |
5992 | But through all our pleasant, happy little bustle ran the constant thought:"What shall we do for more country?" |
5992 | Can you get on your legs, think you?" |
5992 | Could any thing be more propitious? |
5992 | Did he die?" |
5992 | Do n''t you hear Pepper say he wants me?" |
5992 | Do you know that it is not the custom anywhere, in any civilized country, for gentlemen to remain seated and covered when a lady comes into the room? |
5992 | F---- flung the hall door wide open, and called out,"Who''s there?" |
5992 | F---- laid his hand down over a large wash of light green paint and asked,"Now what sort of country is this; really and truly, you know?" |
5992 | For a moment, and half- awake, an old tropical reminiscence floated through my sleepy, startled mind:"Can it be an earthquake?" |
5992 | Has anybody ever reflected on how difficult it must be to get a chimney swept without ever a sweep or even a brush? |
5992 | He looks heart- broken, poor fellow, does n''t he?" |
5992 | Her last words were,"Ca n''t you send me a paper or hany thing printed, mam?" |
5992 | How was I to get fresh servants, and above all, what was I to do for cooking during the week they were away? |
5992 | I fix my feet firmly against the batten, and F---- cries,"Are you ready?" |
5992 | I was the first to hear the noise, and cried,"Who''s there? |
5992 | I wonder if any one has any idea what hot work it is making a bed? |
5992 | If a sheep- farmer thinks his sheep are not in good condition, one of the first questions he asks his shepherd is,"Are there any pigs about?" |
5992 | In the shafts stood poor shaggy old Jack, looking over his blinkers as much as to say,"What do you want me to do now?" |
5992 | John''s?" |
5992 | Might I stop here for a bit?" |
5992 | Mr. U---- was just beginning to say"Look here: do n''t you think we ought to take turns at this?" |
5992 | Now why ca n''t you all do the same, here?" |
5992 | Now why was this? |
5992 | People have often said to me since,"Surely you would not like to have lived there for ever?" |
5992 | The ice would bear, and what more could skater''s heart desire? |
5992 | Was it a morning for low spirits or sobs and sighs? |
5992 | We had done all we could within working distance, but what was, the use of digging in drifts thirty feet deep? |
5992 | We said to each other while we were hastily dressing,"How shall we ever catch the horses? |
5992 | Well, now, do n''t you ask that pretty Miss A----, who has just come out from England, to come and stop with you, and then we could have some music?" |
5992 | What are you doing?" |
5992 | What can be more enchanting than the prospect of spending such sunny hours in that glorious bush?" |
5992 | What words can describe the pleasure it is to inhale such an atmosphere? |
5992 | When I mentioned my grievance in the drawing- room to the gentlemen, I only got laughed at for my pains, and I was asked what else I expected? |
5992 | Where could you find a gayer quartette than started at an easy canter up the valley that fresh bracing morning? |
5992 | Who could bear malice in the presence of such dreadful pain? |
5992 | Who does not know the peculiar_ smell_ of tracing- paper, with its suggestions of ownership? |
5992 | Who so proud as the young mother? |
5992 | Why do n''t you come too? |
5992 | Why need I go on? |
5992 | Why you might be weather- bound or kept there for a month, and what shall I do then? |
5992 | Will any one believe that after such a perilous journey, I could actually be persuaded to try again? |
5992 | Will you like to come too?" |
5992 | You''ve got a piano, have n''t you? |
5992 | [ Note: the shearer''s demand for a few minutes rest] whilst his companion inquired pathetically,"What was the use of flaying a dead man?" |
5992 | and oh, would the next be equally good? |
5992 | what is it?" |
22040 | ''Does it inconvenience you?'' 22040 ''Inconvenience, sir? |
22040 | ''Invest it? 22040 And did you do nothing?" |
22040 | And did you still make no attempt to save yourself? |
22040 | Anything else, sir? |
22040 | But the_ finale_? |
22040 | Is it a fact that the corn is too poor for manufacture into eggs? |
22040 | Well, then, will ten thousand pounds do? |
22040 | What is the nature of it, may I inquire? |
22040 | Why did n''t you take the matter in hand and check it right where it was? |
22040 | Why does n''t everybody do so? 22040 Willing? |
22040 | You do n''t care to know my name or residence? |
22040 | You wo n''t laugh at me, will you? |
22040 | ''What does he want?'' |

16900 | How does cotton growing affect soil texture? |
16900 | How does cotton growing affect soil ventilation? |
16900 | How does cotton growing affect soil water? |
16900 | How does the root take in moisture and food? |
16900 | How far do they reach out sidewise or laterally from the plant? |
16900 | How is the pollen carried from flower to flower? |
16900 | How may we check losses of heat from the soil? |
16900 | How much water does a plant transpire or throw off from its leaves? |
16900 | How near do they come to the surface of the soil? |
16900 | How near to the surface of the soil do you find roots? |
16900 | How shall I plant seeds so as to help them sprout easily and grow into strong plants? |
16900 | If so, can we control them in their action for the benefit or injury of plants? |
16900 | If the soil of our farm is largely clay, what happens to the rain that falls on it? |
16900 | In answer to the question,"Why is this?" |
16900 | Is a knowledge of these facts we have learned about roots of any value to the farmer? |
16900 | Is free water good for the roots of farm plants? |
16900 | Is it of any value to the plant grower to know these facts about leaves? |
16900 | Is this fact of any value to the farmer? |
16900 | Many times the questions will be asked: Why did n''t those seeds come up? |
16900 | Now is it possible that soil water may be lost or wasted and if so can we check the loss? |
16900 | Now what is the relation of the different kinds of soil toward heat or what are their relative powers to absorb and hold heat? |
16900 | Now why is this? |
16900 | Of 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? |
16900 | Of 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? |
16900 | Or where does the root grow in length? |
16900 | Or which soils will keep moist longest in dry weather? |
16900 | SOURCES OF SOIL WATER From what sources does the soil receive water? |
16900 | The next thing to find out is: What conditions are necessary for the root to do its work? |
16900 | The 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? |
16900 | The second question,"How deep do the roots penetrate the soil?" |
16900 | Then, in studying our plants, which part shall we study first? |
16900 | To the first question,"In what part of the soil are most of the roots?" |
16900 | WHY DO WE SPADE AND PLOW? |
16900 | What are the reasons for these facts? |
16900 | What becomes of this moisture? |
16900 | What can we do for our clay soils to help them to absorb the rain more rapidly? |
16900 | What can we do for our sandy soils to give them greater power to take moisture from below? |
16900 | What 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? |
16900 | What effect will such a system have on the conditions necessary for plant growth? |
16900 | What has become of the fresh air that was in the bottles when the seeds were put in them? |
16900 | What is plant food? |
16900 | What is the effect on plant food in the soil? |
16900 | When 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? |
16900 | Where does this come from? |
16900 | Where does this come from? |
16900 | Which do you think is the most important group? |
16900 | Which part of any or all of these farm plants is of greatest importance to the plant itself? |
16900 | Which soils have greatest power to hold the water which enters them? |
16900 | Which soils have the greater power to absorb or pump moisture from below? |
16900 | Which soils have the greatest capacity for film water? |
16900 | Which soils will hold longest the water which they have absorbed? |
16900 | Why are sandy soils called warm soils and clay soils said to be cold? |
16900 | Why do n''t we plant corn in December? |
16900 | Why do not the seeds sprout easily in the bottle which is more than half full? |
16900 | Why do the trees in thick woods have most of the living branches and bear most of their leaves away up in the top of the tree? |
16900 | Why does the farmer raise these plants? |
16900 | Why is this? |
16900 | Why is this? |
16900 | Why is this? |
16900 | Why is this? |
16900 | Why is this? |
16900 | Why is this? |
16900 | Why not plant cotton in November? |
16900 | Why not plant melons in January? |
16900 | Why was the dry clay warmer than the dry sand? |
16900 | Why were the wet humus and clay cooler than the wet sand? |
16900 | Why? |
16900 | Why? |
32863 | Can she_ bake_? |
32863 | What,says the cottager,"has all this to do with hogs and bacon?" |
32863 | _ Can you milk?_He could not; but_ would learn_! |
32863 | And how, then, is it possible, that unwholesomeness should distil from the udder of a cow? |
32863 | And is not a fourth, or even an eighth, part of this weight, sufficient to go down the throats of a family in a year? |
32863 | And now, how are these to be had_ upon the same ground that bears_ the cabbages? |
32863 | And ought not this to be a lesson to fathers and mothers of families? |
32863 | And what is the_ result_? |
32863 | And what is there worthy of the name of_ plague_, or_ trouble_, in all this? |
32863 | And what should we see at last, if this infernal THING could continue for only a few years longer? |
32863 | And whence does it come? |
32863 | And, pray, what can be pleasanter to_ behold_? |
32863 | And, shall a starving man be hanged, then, if he take a loaf to save himself from dying? |
32863 | And_ why_ are they not to be deemed unmerciful? |
32863 | Are there twenty- two square miles covered with the Wen''s market gardens? |
32863 | Are we not to despise a_ thief_? |
32863 | Beset with wants, having a mind continually harassed with fears of starvation, who can act with energy, who can calmly think? |
32863 | Besides this, however, why should we not_ export_ the articles of this manufacture? |
32863 | But has not Nature made the country girls as pretty as ladies? |
32863 | But, after all, what need had we of any_ authorities_? |
32863 | But, at any rate, is the salary of the"ASSISTANT OVERSEER"necessary? |
32863 | But, how stands these matters now? |
32863 | But, if a_ part_ of the ancient law remain, shall not the_ whole_ of it remain? |
32863 | But, if such be her state in the house of an employer, what is her state in the house of a_ husband_? |
32863 | But, was it_ possible_ to believe this? |
32863 | But, why so good, so generous, to FELONS? |
32863 | Can any man, who knows any thing of the labourer''s life, deny this? |
32863 | Can any reasonable creature believe, that, to save the soul, God requires us to give up the food necessary to sustain the body? |
32863 | Can it be_ religion_ to regard as blessings those things, those very things, which God expressly numbers amongst his curses? |
32863 | Can not that be dispensed with? |
32863 | Did Saint Paul preach this? |
32863 | FIRST, where are_ we_ to get the_ Indian Meal_? |
32863 | He, who, while he spread the gospel abroad,_ worked himself_, in order to have it to give to those who were unable to work? |
32863 | How should it be otherwise? |
32863 | How should they? |
32863 | How, then, are they to contend against Irish butter and Dutch butter and cheese? |
32863 | How, then, are we to reconcile this with_ morality_? |
32863 | How, then, could the Wen be supplied, if it required_ ten rods_ to each family? |
32863 | If she can neither bake nor brew; if she be ignorant of the nature of flour, yeast, malt, and hops, what is she good for? |
32863 | If 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? |
32863 | Is it not better employed for you? |
32863 | Is it not better than time spent in the ale- house, or in creeping about after a miserable hare? |
32863 | Is not this state of things perfectly monstrous? |
32863 | Is that nothing? |
32863 | It is_ labour_; but, what is_ exercise_ other than labour? |
32863 | It may be asked, Where is the mill to be found? |
32863 | Law 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? |
32863 | Must he have as much as_ all the widows_, or_ all the old men_? |
32863 | Needs 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? |
32863 | No poor- laws? |
32863 | No poor- rates? |
32863 | No_ select vestries_? |
32863 | Now, how much garden ground does it require to supply even a large family with_ garden vegetables_? |
32863 | Now, is not this an enormous evil? |
32863 | Now, then, how fare the prisoners in the jails? |
32863 | Now, with what show of justice can these laws be maintained? |
32863 | Ought not they to consider that the habits which they give their children are to stick by those children during their whole lives? |
32863 | Stop the exchange between Leghorn and Yorkshire, and, does Yorkshire_ lose part of its custom_? |
32863 | Surely that Lancashire can never be_ in England_?" |
32863 | The answer is, Where is there not a mill? |
32863 | The question was, then, would these precious seeds_ grow and produce plants in perfection in England_? |
32863 | There 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?" |
32863 | These last are right; but what have these things to do with the treatment of the poor? |
32863 | To 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? |
32863 | Was 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_? |
32863 | What do we want more than this to convince us, that the main body of the people have been_ impoverished_ by the"Reformation?" |
32863 | What have these things to do with the horrid facts relative to the condition and starvation of English people? |
32863 | What is it, then, that they_ do_ with the eighty rods of ground in a private garden? |
32863 | What is the object of Government? |
32863 | What need had we even of_ reason_ upon the subject? |
32863 | What reason have we, then, to presume, that our children are not to do the same? |
32863 | What shall we see next? |
32863 | What then will people not do, who regularly undertake the business for their livelihood? |
32863 | What would he have said? |
32863 | What_ is it_, then? |
32863 | What_ 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? |
32863 | Where can that_ Hampshire_ be? |
32863 | Where is the justice of the peace? |
32863 | Where 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? |
32863 | Where, amidst all this starvation, is the overseer? |
32863 | Who would think himself safe, if at the_ mercy_ of such a man? |
32863 | Why do they take care to have it then? |
32863 | Why should any one have such desire? |
32863 | Why, 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? |
32863 | Why_ buy_ this, when you can_ grow_ it in your garden? |
32863 | With 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_? |
32863 | and is it not better employed for the community? |
32863 | are there_ no poor- laws_ in Lancashire? |
32863 | duty 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? |
32863 | where is the wheat to be got? |
32863 | where is there not a market? |
39483 | Should I give the child everything he cries for, or withhold the desired object until he quits? |
39483 | What shall Children Read? |
39483 | 275 Impatience of Parents 276 What of Predestination? |
39483 | ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO CULTURE And then, a second question we need to ask ourselves is, Whom is education for? |
39483 | Also, what about the literature in the home? |
39483 | And are they to continue to have their careers determined by mere chance and incident? |
39483 | And if the latter be your choice, what helpful agencies are you bringing to bear upon the situation? |
39483 | And then, the bitterness and anguish of soul of the mothers of these lost members of a high humanity-- what of that? |
39483 | And where were the boys? |
39483 | And why not have this scheme made out by_ highly trained experts_ as is the case with the school course? |
39483 | Are some foreordained to success and others to failure? |
39483 | Are the boys and girls to be left to shift for themselves? |
39483 | Are we spoiling our Boys who have the Best Chances in Life? |
39483 | Assuming first of all that the girl instinctively desires to preside over a home of her own, how can she best be prepared for that place? |
39483 | BUILDING A GOOD LIFE 1 What is a Good Life? |
39483 | BUSINESS TRAINING FOR THE COUNTRY GIRL 235 Is the Country Girl Neglected? |
39483 | But how about the problem of teaching her to take up her daily tasks willingly and with a joyous heart? |
39483 | But what is to be done? |
39483 | But what of the children whom he brought in to"educate"? |
39483 | But what of this particular boy''s early training? |
39483 | But what_ is_ a good life? |
39483 | But, how may we best interpret this question? |
39483 | By what rule do men succeed in their callings and by what different rule do other men fail? |
39483 | Can not one be instituted, say, for the township? |
39483 | Can not some movement be instituted for bringing about a radical change? |
39483 | Chapter I,"The Awakening"; Chapter II,"Am I a Genius?" |
39483 | DO YOU OWN YOUR DAUGHTER? |
39483 | Did he enjoy equal advantages? |
39483 | Did his parents when married really know anything about rearing children? |
39483 | Do we desire that she become a shrewd money- maker and successful a some sort of commercial life? |
39483 | Do you want her to take her place among the men and be forced to do some sort of man''s work in order to obtain her bread? |
39483 | Does the College rob the Cradle? |
39483 | Does the high school now in existence actually serve through its courses the best interests of young people who come in from the neighborhood? |
39483 | Does this thing need to continue? |
39483 | During the last decade, what has been the trend of the young men and women who have gone from the home district to high school or college? |
39483 | Even then, the question must be raised: Will this new position probably prove helpful as an introduction to a better form of occupation? |
39483 | First of all, we must ask, What are the ordinary forces which need to be brought into service in the development of children? |
39483 | First of all, we must keep asking the question, What is education for? |
39483 | First of all, what in a practical sense is a satisfactory business training for a young woman, a farmer''s daughter in particular? |
39483 | First of all, what is the proper way in which to regard the boy''s work? |
39483 | Had he a daughter? |
39483 | Happiness 6 Is the Human Stock comparatively Sound? |
39483 | Have any of the best of them returned to the farm? |
39483 | Have you always kept the freest of all workers, your wife, from doing too much? |
39483 | How about this?" |
39483 | How long must this carelessness continue? |
39483 | How long should the boy be held to his task before being allowed a holiday or recreation period? |
39483 | How shall we measure the strength and force of the human character other than by the bigness and the purity of the daily thoughts of the individual? |
39483 | How shall we state this question? |
39483 | IS THE COUNTRY GIRL NEGLECTED? |
39483 | IS THE HUMAN STOCK COMPARATIVELY SOUND? |
39483 | If one of the work mules becomes lame or reveals a bad disposition, should the owner take it to an electrician for advice? |
39483 | If she is a poor housekeeper, how can she expect her daughters to excel in that finest of all arts? |
39483 | If the family cow becomes locoed or shows an unusual result in her milk product, should one consult a piano tuner? |
39483 | Is it not a matter which the mother should think about most seriously in relation to the training of her daughter? |
39483 | Is the boy for the sake of the work, or the work for the sake of the boy? |
39483 | Is there a prohibitive tuition fee? |
39483 | Is there a type of education and training which specifically fits and prepares for each of the native callings? |
39483 | Is there an inherent strength in some and a native weakness in others? |
39483 | Just when and how much should the boy and girl be allowed to go among the young people of the community? |
39483 | Must Children have Children''s Diseases? |
39483 | Now, what playthings may easily be provided in such homes? |
39483 | Now, why not the same forethought in planning the necessary amount of the other exercises? |
39483 | Or, have these institutions been a means of sending them away as permanent city dwellers? |
39483 | Or, what can be done to improve the present neighborhood relations to the high school that may be already within reach? |
39483 | Prepare her to deal with Grafters 246 Should there be an Actual Investment? |
39483 | SHOULD THE FARMER''S SON FARM? |
39483 | SHOULD THERE BE AN ACTUAL INVESTMENT? |
39483 | Should Women work for their Living? |
39483 | So at last there is being raised the very important questions, What is the matter with the country boy? |
39483 | THE FARM BOY''S CHOICE OF A VOCATION 275 Should the Farmer''s Son Farm? |
39483 | THE FARM BOY''S INTEREST IN THE BUSINESS 220 What is in your Boy? |
39483 | THE FARM GIRL''S PREPARATION FOR A VOCATION 290 What is the Outlook? |
39483 | THE RURAL HOME AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT 26 What Agencies build up Character? |
39483 | The Developmental Method 281 The Farmer Fortunate 282 What College for the Country Boy? |
39483 | The first question raised in such cases is, What is the particular moral defect of the individual? |
39483 | The home church and Sunday school? |
39483 | The instinct to play, to fight, to steal, to run away, to work(? |
39483 | The local society in which he moves? |
39483 | The temptations that may lie near about him? |
39483 | Then, how would it be to set apart an hour or more each day, regularly, for the rest and relaxation of the mother, and call it"Mother''s hour"? |
39483 | Tuberculosis, is it inheritable? |
39483 | WHAT AGENCIES BUILD UP CHARACTER? |
39483 | WHAT IS A GOOD LIFE? |
39483 | WHAT IS IN YOUR BOY? |
39483 | WHAT OF PREDESTINATION? |
39483 | WORKING THE GIRLS IN THE FIELD Is there any justification for requiring a girl to work in the field with the men and boys? |
39483 | Was it the same as that of the others? |
39483 | We can not answer rightly the question, How much work for the country boy? |
39483 | What are they? |
39483 | What can be done, therefore, to nourish and build up the best possible thought activities, especially in case of the rural boys and girls? |
39483 | What did she know about money and the common affairs of business? |
39483 | What does it mean? |
39483 | What is a fair allowance for the boy for what he does and for his spending money for the Fourth of July, Christmas, and the like? |
39483 | What is a fair allowance for the girl with which to purchase her clothes and for her pin money? |
39483 | What is the secret of the striking difference in the result? |
39483 | What of the recreation he enjoys? |
39483 | What of this sort can be done to cause him to return to his assigned tasks with greater zeal and enthusiasm? |
39483 | What specific readjustments are needed in his home life in respect to the amount of work required of him? |
39483 | When should each of them be told this and that about the secrets of life, and where may helpful literature thereon be obtained? |
39483 | When should this be introduced into the boy''s life and when that into the girl''s life? |
39483 | Why Back to the Farm? |
39483 | Why is it? |
39483 | Why is this? |
39483 | Why not see to it that there be secured a few enticing volumes of the clean and uplifting sort? |
39483 | Would you give it to him to stop his crying, or withhold it? |
39483 | Would you return his plaything to stop his crying, or let him cry it out? |
39483 | _ A rest period._--How would it do to plan for the mother a daily period of rest and relaxation? |
39483 | and What can be done to help him? |
39483 | or, What classes should have the benefits of it? |
39483 | or, do you earnestly desire that she find some sort of worthy woman''s work? |
39483 | second, What are the causes? |
39483 | third, What will reconstruct his character and give permanent relief? |

20772 | Should bees be kept in an orchard? |
20772 | Should not his past failures and his past triumphs decide his future? |
20772 | Should not this fact suggest efforts to raise just as good crops without having to buy so much fertilizer? |
20772 | Since the water which a plant uses comes through the roots, can the morning dew afford any assistance? |
20772 | THE MOISTURE OF THE SOIL Did any one ever explain to you how important water is to the soil, or tell you why it is so important? |
20772 | There are two questions that the dairy farmer should always ask himself: Am I feeding as cheaply as I can? |

32949 | And can they then walk off, holding the frame in this way, and keep the position firmly and gracefully? |
32949 | And that she shall recognize no difference in her standard for the morality of both the young man and the young woman? |
32949 | And the daughter? |
32949 | And thus is she being happy? |
32949 | And who would want to tie them down, anyway? |
32949 | Are the shoulders well back? |
32949 | Are there many of these? |

32949 | But is it really so? |
32949 | But may we not expect even more? |
32949 | But the Indians? |
32949 | But then again, would the state of things be bettered if this important initiative were placed equally in the hands of women and men? |
32949 | But what farm woman of the old days ever gave"so many other pleasures,"or"too many places to go,"as reasons for not reading? |
32949 | But what is this Open Door? |

32949 | CHAPTER I THE COUNTRY GIRL-- WHERE IS SHE? |
32949 | CHAPTER III IS THE COUNTRY GIRL HAPPY ON THE FARM? |
32949 | CHAPTER XXV THE PLAY IN THE HOME O little bulb, uncouth Rugged, and rusty brown, Have you some dew of youth? |
32949 | Can any one ask the question? |
32949 | Can any one doubt that she will ask for such things as she believes are necessary to her highest efficiency, and insist upon having them? |
32949 | Can it be that the Country Girl has in some measure reached this point by doing what Lot''s wife did-- by simply looking behind her? |
32949 | Can they take full, deep, long breaths? |
32949 | Can we entertain the hope that the city cousins will come to the rescue? |
32949 | Can you fail to see and feel it? |
32949 | Casting her eye along back over the generations, did she see anything that appalled her? |
32949 | Did she take it? |
32949 | Do their chests stand up good and strong? |
32949 | Do we not need this also to help lift the ban of loneliness and to supply that elasticity of spirit that means life to us? |
32949 | Do you not fear that war- whoop? |
32949 | Does he include the farm laboratory among the"industries"? |
32949 | Does her husband appreciate what a wonderful woman fate has assigned to him? |
32949 | Does she make the most of his efforts in her behalf? |
32949 | Does she sleep the very sleep of the dead the whole night long, and is she all day the widest awake being that can be found for miles around? |
32949 | Does the Country Girl sufficiently appreciate our Uncle Sam? |
32949 | Dost thou love me, fair one?" |
32949 | For how can a town with all those advantages hold up its head among the towns of America if it has a church building and no church therein? |
32949 | For without that, she reasons, what is there to look forward to? |
32949 | Friend Bowerman says to Rachel his wife,"What sayest thou, Rachel?" |
32949 | Happily this is the story of an exceptional incident; but how may it be prevented from becoming common? |
32949 | Has she an appetite to startle one fully three times a day and even more often, if something good to eat is being made? |
32949 | Has she no games? |
32949 | Has she the chance to grow and fill full the possible round of her own personal development? |
32949 | Have you a crimson crown? |
32949 | Here are six million girls of the countryside-- what can they do to redeem the country from this dull silence and unmelodious tedium? |
32949 | Hope is the anchor of the soul; and without something to hope for, how can one hope? |
32949 | How can we get a kitchen like that? |
32949 | How do we account for this great interest in singing? |
32949 | How hard can they hit, how fast can they run, how high can they jump, how much can they lift, how free are they from pain, and how happy are they? |
32949 | How many fruits, vegetables, foods of all sorts, are made the home of these various kinds? |
32949 | How many hours will it take to show that certain processes will render each variety a safe food? |
32949 | How many kinds of bacterial life are there? |
32949 | How many young students must give years to the business of finding out what we may use and what we may not? |
32949 | If that is so, then this life_ is_ favorable to moral development, is it not?" |
32949 | In fine, is she receiving her share of possible growth? |
32949 | Is her face expressionless and too old for her years? |
32949 | Is her face full of expression, with smiles and dimples all the time? |
32949 | Is it not clear where the true greatness of America lies? |
32949 | Is it worth while? |
32949 | Is not the duty of the girls who are a little older or who have been away to school or college perfectly, translucently clear? |
32949 | Is she full of love and affection toward each member of the family, and endless in her devices for their comfort and entertainment? |
32949 | Is she having her chance to show all that she is able to become? |
32949 | Is she having her share of content? |
32949 | Is she listless and suspicious and sensitive? |
32949 | Is she round- shouldered and heavy of step? |
32949 | Is she suppressed and sodden in mood? |
32949 | Is she the life of the home, with a word and a joke for everybody and is she a perfect mischief among the other children? |
32949 | Is the Country Girl happy on the farm? |
32949 | Is the chin well down and back? |
32949 | Is the daughter not doing her share? |
32949 | Is the system, which was evidently designed to foster justice and happiness, accomplishing this end for a reasonable majority? |
32949 | Is there any one who does not know what the word"blaze"means? |
32949 | Is there room to put down just one more story? |
32949 | It means-- but why should I tell mothers what that means? |
32949 | KING[_ rushes in excitedly_]--Where is my daughter? |
32949 | KNIGHT-- And wilt thou elope with me? |
32949 | May not the Country Girl of the next generation be expected to do something adequate and wonderful with these good gifts of heaven? |
32949 | May we, however, ask a further question? |
32949 | Now what has been forgotten? |
32949 | Often they are not, but whose fault is it? |
32949 | On the next Sunday there were five and one of them was blind; and what do you think? |
32949 | One girl on a Western ranch is very much interested in the subject of-- what do you suppose? |
32949 | Or is she full of spirit and enthusiasm, a perfect dynamo of energy? |
32949 | Or is she in her heart dissatisfied and glowering? |
32949 | She follows it and follows it-- and what is the end to be? |
32949 | She should-- but does she? |
32949 | Should she not do so? |
32949 | Some one may say, Why then touch her in this obliviousness of her unfilled possibilities? |
32949 | Surely within the oven one can see A roast... what else on earth would smell so good?... |
32949 | The British officer however steps toward the parents, leading the maiden by the hand and says:"Friend Bowerman, may I have thy daughter for my wife? |
32949 | To what extent, then, does the farmstead offer opportunity for such growth? |
32949 | What about a vital minority? |
32949 | What about exceptional cases? |
32949 | What barrier can there be to a woman''s progress? |
32949 | What business? |
32949 | What can she do? |
32949 | What could be more delightful than owning one''s own land, having one''s own house, digging in one''s own soil, and being one''s own and only boss? |
32949 | What have you been praised for doing? |
32949 | What is that Country Girl thinking of, that she should waste this opportunity? |
32949 | What is there about life in the open that gives to genius its incentive? |
32949 | What is there that any one girl can do about such a thing? |
32949 | What must be rectified in order that the machinery may be wholly approved? |
32949 | What prevents them? |
32949 | What processes will protect each kind from becoming harmful to human life? |
32949 | What sufferings to certain individuals? |
32949 | What then shall be done? |
32949 | What wrongs can be found? |
32949 | What, in fact, might they not do? |
32949 | When the wrong is done, and the girl is lost, does the college girl in her home town take it to her own heart as in part her responsibility? |
32949 | Where did she get it? |
32949 | Where is the Country Girl and what is happening in her department? |
32949 | Which will be the most economical? |
32949 | Who but a girl of the great untrammelled Northwest would call the weather reports a home convenience, or think of including homemade soap? |
32949 | Who can tell? |
32949 | Who would not spring to help? |
32949 | Why does she not do something for those girls? |
32949 | Why does the shepherd invariably possess a flute? |
32949 | Why not in the house? |
32949 | Why not record the farm- supplies on the day book at market prices, as if they did come from butcher and grocer? |
32949 | Why not search for it? |
32949 | Why should not the church door be a place for the exchange of free will offerings of all kinds? |
32949 | Why should not this be done in every small town? |
32949 | Why these special parts of the world should move in this direction, who can tell? |
32949 | Why, then, does she feel so great a need for sheer money? |
32949 | Why, then, if the Country Girl wishes to become efficient, should she not have a"score card"of her own? |
32949 | Why? |
32949 | Will any States fail to show their appreciation, and to meet the offer of the beneficent Uncle Sam? |
32949 | Will it be long, sweetheart? |
32949 | Will not the same thing be true of woman in the farmstead? |
32949 | Will the Country Girl be obliged to inherit this deprivation? |
32949 | Would the young men suffer themselves to be ensnared by the unbelated suggestion, remain in the rural environment and found their homes there? |
32949 | Would they allow themselves to be tied down in a place where they do not desire to be? |

32949 | dividing and subtracting; it is economics-- averages, outgo and income, the wage, the unearned increment, the community; what, in fact, is it not? |
32949 | dost thou have no pity for me? |
32949 | not found my daughter? |
16525 | And my gardens, too? |
16525 | And will you sell it? |
16525 | Are n''t you going to credit anything to health, and good times generally? 16525 Are these things worth$ 100,000?" |
16525 | Are you really glad to get back to it? 16525 Break away, daughter, do you want a steam launch with your yacht?" |
16525 | But how about your friends, Polly? |
16525 | But how is one to know? 16525 But what about the boys, Polly?" |
16525 | But what if Anderson sets fire to your piggery, or lightning strikes your granary,--how about the expense account then? |
16525 | But, 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? |
16525 | Ca n''t you have a telephone put into the farm- house? 16525 Can you send more?" |
16525 | Country life fits us like paper on the wall,said I,"but how about the youngsters? |
16525 | Do you know how much it is? |
16525 | Do you like the plan? 16525 Do you mean that there are more pearls than swine, Mr. Jack? |
16525 | Do you mean the house alone? |
16525 | Do you think I could manage a farm? |
16525 | Do_ your_ pigs get lost when you are away? |
16525 | Does it come out just even$ 44,000? 16525 Finished the farm- house?" |
16525 | Fun comes high at this time of the year, does n''t it, Polly? |
16525 | Have they sowed the alfalfa and cut the oats? |
16525 | Have you decided to keep''dottes? 16525 Have you settled the moulds he is to be run in?" |
16525 | How about Jack? |
16525 | How are you going to seed the north forty? |
16525 | How do you figure values here? |
16525 | How does the contagion travel, Doctor? |
16525 | How long have you had that up your sleeve, young woman? 16525 How many cows are you going to milk?" |
16525 | How much do you want to spend for the house? |
16525 | How''s that? |
16525 | Jack, whom will you ask? 16525 Lonesome, is it? |
16525 | Now 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? |
16525 | Of these fifty, can we count on twenty- five pullets? |
16525 | Or the trees you''ve planted? |
16525 | Polly, how much is 16- 1/2 times 320? |
16525 | See 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?" |
16525 | So you do n''t want to go back to that tall house, madam? |
16525 | Sure 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?" |
16525 | That includes horse keep, I suppose? |
16525 | That would be doing pretty well, would n''t it? 16525 This dull, brutish condition is self- imposed, and to what end? |
16525 | Well, 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? |
16525 | Well, men, what do you want? 16525 What breeds of cows have you handled, Thompson?" |
16525 | What can you do with a forge? |
16525 | What 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?" |
16525 | What do you get in return? 16525 What do you have to pay for them?" |
16525 | What do you suppose a good one would cost? |
16525 | What do you suppose fire insurance policies are for? 16525 What do you suppose they will charge per ton on their platform?" |
16525 | What has it cost you to date? |
16525 | What have crows hiding got to do with corn, I''d like to know? |
16525 | What kind of things does this young lady make, dear? |
16525 | What percentage of hatch may we expect from purchased eggs? |
16525 | What things does the Herr Doctor speak for? |
16525 | What time can I breakfast? 16525 What will have to do?" |
16525 | What will the paper on your bedroom wall be like? |
16525 | What will you do if the men go out? |
16525 | What''s the matter with the bull, Jackson? 16525 What''s the matter? |
16525 | Who is match- making now? |
16525 | Who said he was? |
16525 | Why do you throw down the Plymouth Rocks? 16525 Why, of course you can; you''ve managed your business, have n''t you? |
16525 | Will you ever have to increase the debt? |
16525 | Will you have one lump or two? |
16525 | Will you sell this plant, Williams? |
16525 | Will you take twenty per cent advance on what the books show? 16525 Would you like to see a clergyman?" |
16525 | You 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?" |
16525 | And I do n''t think$ 125 is much, do you?" |
16525 | And how much interest do you add?" |
16525 | And who was to gainsay her? |
16525 | Are they hand- painted? |
16525 | But do you think you can secure this paragon?" |
16525 | But how about the children? |
16525 | But what''s the matter with the old lady''s quarter across your south road?" |
16525 | But what''s the use of charging the farm with interest when you credit it with our keeping?" |
16525 | But why did you say dehorn the cows?" |
16525 | But, 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? |
16525 | By the way, how much of an ice- house shall I need?" |
16525 | CHAPTER XVII WHAT SHALL WE ASK OF THE HEN? |
16525 | Ca n''t I do something for you?" |
16525 | Ca n''t they drive the butter- cart out each morning and home after school? |
16525 | Ca n''t you hold them?" |
16525 | Can you make nails? |
16525 | Could I live in a better house, or have better food, better service, better friends, or a better way of entertaining them? |
16525 | Did n''t you want to stay longer?" |
16525 | Did you ever see weather made to order before? |
16525 | Do I charge my orchards for this time? |
16525 | Do 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? |
16525 | Do n''t you think you can help the men, Lars?" |
16525 | Do n''t you think you''ve been a little extravagant?" |
16525 | Do n''t you want to get rid of those five scrub cows?" |
16525 | Do 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? |
16525 | Do they expect we are to change our plans of life to suit their personal notions?" |
16525 | Do you feel_ very_ bad, Jack? |
16525 | Do you find it in the union? |
16525 | Do you know how long it is since I have had them? |
16525 | Do you know where you can place them?" |
16525 | Do you like the prospect? |
16525 | Do you realize, Polly, that the maids in the house get$ 1300 out of the$ 5300,--one quarter of the whole? |
16525 | Do you really think farming is all beer and skittles?" |
16525 | Do you roll up your sleeves and wear a leather apron?" |
16525 | Do you suppose I am going to let these visions become contaminated by practical knowledge? |
16525 | Do you suppose these men are here from charitable motives or for their health? |
16525 | Do you think we can get a glass of milk of the''farm lady''?" |
16525 | Does n''t that count for anything? |
16525 | Does that frighten you, Polly?" |
16525 | Get some good men out here, wo n''t you?" |
16525 | Have you any idea as to where it can be had?" |
16525 | Have you any idea how many posts it will take to fence this farm as we have platted it? |
16525 | Have you evicted the poor widow, and she on her deathbed? |
16525 | Have you got to pay interest on it?" |
16525 | He does n''t live up to his possibilities, does he?" |
16525 | Headman?" |
16525 | Her brown hair has floated in my dreams until I have cried out for help; what would her face have done? |
16525 | How could I place the money so that it would bring me half the things which this farm brings me now? |
16525 | How have you done it?" |
16525 | How long are you going to stay out? |
16525 | How many did we keep in the city?" |
16525 | How much of it do you suppose there is?" |
16525 | How much will it cost to get them out?" |
16525 | How was I to know that Polly would hail from that quarter? |
16525 | How? |
16525 | I can have a saddle horse now, and keep as many dogs as I like, ca n''t I, Dad?" |
16525 | I do n''t know everything yet, do I, Thompson?" |
16525 | I found by experience, that if one would have bird neighbors( and who would not? |
16525 | I think that''s a fair showing for the three years, do n''t you?" |
16525 | I 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? |
16525 | If I had more land, would I increase my stock? |
16525 | If this were true, these two persons were just what I needed; but, was it true? |
16525 | If we had good luck with the sixty chicks, how many would grow up?" |
16525 | In return for this$ 3 a year, what do I give my hens besides a clean house and yard? |
16525 | Is it due to pure air and sunshine, making redder blood and more vigorous development, to broader horizons and freedom from abnormal conventions? |
16525 | Is n''t he all right?" |
16525 | Is n''t that great? |
16525 | Is the Company under obligation to lose this money for you? |
16525 | Is there anything better under the sun than fried salt pork and milk gravy? |
16525 | Is this a load which thinking people would impose upon themselves? |
16525 | It 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? |
16525 | It was pretty of her to say that; but what else would one expect from Laura? |
16525 | Jack?" |
16525 | Jackson sent for his horse, and just before he mounted, I said,"Are you thinking of selling your farm?" |
16525 | Joining her, I said,--"I have mapped seven forties; have you finished one?" |
16525 | May I write and find out?" |
16525 | My first greeting was,--"How''s the farm, Polly?" |
16525 | My 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? |
16525 | No, I guess I wo n''t sell the paternal acres; but who wants to buy?" |
16525 | Not since I knew you well, did I? |
16525 | Of the turnips I could feel more certain, for doth not the poet say:--"The 25th day of July, Sow your turnips, wet or dry"? |
16525 | One day Jane said:--"Dad, what do you think of the Russian wolf- hound?" |
16525 | Or does a close relation to primary things give a newness to mind and body which is granted only to those who apply in person? |
16525 | Say, Dad, why not have one?" |
16525 | Shall my work stop because you have been called out for a holiday? |
16525 | Shall the weeds grow over these walls and my lumber rot while you sit idly by? |
16525 | Shall we do it, Polly?" |
16525 | Silk thread would advance in proportion, and how does the manager know that he can replace his silk when needed, even at the advanced price? |
16525 | Some one will say:"How can you make hens pay if they do n''t lay more than eight dozen eggs a year? |
16525 | The experiment is yours, is n''t it?" |
16525 | The farm is yours, is n''t it? |
16525 | The question ought always to be, How much can a cow eat and drink? |
16525 | The social side of life is quite as important as the commercial, for though we gain money, if we lose happiness, what profit have we? |
16525 | Then he was Gustavus Adolphus,--for had he not come to the aid of the Protestants when they were in sore need? |
16525 | There is land enough now and to spare, but will it be so fifty or a hundred years hence? |
16525 | They called him Lars Porsena,--for had he not fought gallantly? |
16525 | They had done well without a husbandman; what could not others do with one? |
16525 | To live on our lawn, did I say? |
16525 | To paper the wall? |
16525 | WHAT SHALL WE ASK OF THE HEN? |
16525 | Was I to flush two at once, and would they fall to my gun? |
16525 | We must n''t think of it as a dog; it''s a barzoi; that is n''t too much for a barzoi, is it?" |
16525 | We were all very fond of Jessie, and who could help it? |
16525 | What are you to do with this? |
16525 | What could I do with a priest? |
16525 | What could be more unnatural? |
16525 | What difference does it make whether you charge interest or not?" |
16525 | What do I care for that? |
16525 | What do you think of Judson as a probable dairyman?" |
16525 | What do you think of that?" |
16525 | What do you think we could sell this one for?" |
16525 | What does Jane say?" |
16525 | What in the world have you done with it? |
16525 | What kind of investment will pay better? |
16525 | What more can she ask? |
16525 | What shall I do when you quit work? |
16525 | What sort of business will give larger returns in health and pleasure? |
16525 | What wages do you pay?" |
16525 | What will become of my interests while you are following the lead of your bell- wethers? |
16525 | What would I do if disease should appear? |
16525 | What would one think of the manager of a silk- thread factory who sold his raw silk, just because it had advanced in price? |
16525 | What would you say to a proposition of$ 10,000 for one hundred acres along my north line?" |
16525 | When did I ever insist on anything, Mrs. Williams? |
16525 | Who has done the cutting down of this trip? |
16525 | Why did n''t you keep him for yourself?" |
16525 | Why do you insist upon eight weeks?" |
16525 | Why does the universal farm- house hang its gable over the public road, without tree or shrub to cover its boldness? |
16525 | Why should I?" |
16525 | Why, John Williams, do you mean to tell me that you borrowed this money? |
16525 | Will you follow me through the search for the land, the purchase, and the tremendous house- cleaning of the first year? |
16525 | Will you send for a lawyer?" |
16525 | Will you stay on these terms?" |
16525 | With all outdoors to choose from, why ape the crowded city streets? |
16525 | With much to apologize for in barn and pigsty, why place them in the seat of honor? |
16525 | Would I take$ 20 apiece for these trees? |
16525 | Would he be better reconciled to his fate after spending his nine months between field and sty? |
16525 | Would it appeal to them with the same force as to us? |
16525 | Would it be satisfactory to us and to them? |
16525 | Would these boys fight for the girls they had with them? |
16525 | You bought it with your own money, did n''t you? |
16525 | You save$ 50, do n''t you see?" |
16525 | not, How little can she get on with? |
16525 | times 320? |

45154 | What business has a spider in the wasp''s nest, if it is her nest? |
45154 | What can a boy not do if he has the opportunity? |
45154 | What can be done with those wasting apples? |
45154 | What can you do to make your own particular corner of the country a better place for you and your companions to live in? |
45154 | What do you know about that? |
45154 | What does your father have a manure pile for? |
45154 | What else is an old creek like that good for anyhow? |
45154 | What is a violet''s seed pod like anyhow? |
45154 | What is a weed anyhow? |
45154 | What is that yellowish object that rolls from among the ruined adobe walls? |
45154 | What is there about it? |
45154 | What kind of stories do you like best? |
45154 | What kinds of clubs do boys like? |
45154 | What makes it do this? |
45154 | What more can you say about watermelon or strawberries? |
45154 | What other farm crop will do as much? |
45154 | What shaped roof will be easiest to build, most economical of lumber, and most satisfactory as a rain shed? |
45154 | What will please them more than to know that you have a keen sense of honour? |
45154 | When a crowd of boys meet together, what do they talk about? |
45154 | When do the pods open and how? |
45154 | Where are the insects in winter? |
45154 | Where did the little tree come from whose top was cut off after the first bud was set? |
45154 | Which shall you follow? |
45154 | Who has a better right to the ashes than the boy who manages the ash pan? |
45154 | Who has not heard old men say that? |
45154 | Who picks all these nuts in the woods? |
45154 | Who says now that the mink has disappeared? |
45154 | Why do people, whose only fitness for telling stories lies in their having an imagination, make up such yarns about real things? |
45154 | Why is this? |
45154 | Why not have a club that the boys will take an interest in and a club that the girls will take an interest in? |
45154 | Why not make up some neat attractive cases, each containing a little collection illustrating the four stages of the growth of this insect? |
45154 | Why not provide her with a still more convenient forked stick as some bee- keepers do? |
45154 | Why not put some thought on the very business he is engaged in? |
45154 | Why not train a dog or a sheep to turn the crank? |
45154 | Why should you not benefit by this? |
45154 | Why was that? |
45154 | Will not busy boys and girls make better citizens than idle ones? |
45154 | Will not our bees work just as cheaply as those in foreign countries? |
45154 | Will you do this? |
45154 | Will you try it? |
45154 | Will you try? |
45154 | Would n''t it be a triumph to raise a family of these wonderful birds? |
45154 | Would 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? |
45154 | Would 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? |
45154 | Would you ruin a fine young tree just beginning a life of usefulness? |
45154 | XI 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?" |
45154 | You believe everybody ought to know how to swim, do n''t you? |
45154 | You can find frenzied advertisers trying to disprove these statements, but do not your own observations bear me out? |
45154 | You have seen a fine board ruined by a knot hole? |
45154 | You like him, of course, but is he a loafing, worthless, sneaking, sheep- killing dog? |
45154 | You see patches of dead grass on many lawns, but do you find moles at work in these same lawns? |
45154 | You 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? |
36031 | Whose boat is that? |
36031 | Why not? |
36031 | You do? 36031 ( Applause) And yet they tell you that these waters do not belong to the Federal Government? 36031 ( Applause) Now, is the State ready to surrender any rights that it may have in the waters of the stream to the Federal Government? 36031 ( Applause) President BAKER-- Is the motion seconded? 36031 ( Applause) What are the prospects of getting cheaper food to eat? 36031 ( Applause) What is the result? 36031 ( Applause) Why was the American Nation founded? 36031 ( Applause)***** Miss BOARDMAN-- Mr Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Of what value would Conservation be without human life? 36031 ( Applause)***** Professor CONDRA-- Ladies and Gentlemen: A question has been sent to the Chair:Will the Congress close this evening?" |
36031 | ( Confusion on the floor) Who brought this anyway? |
36031 | ( Laughter and applause) But what does that mean? |
36031 | ( The resolution was adopted) Professor CONDRA-- Would it not be in order to hear from the Executive Committee relative to the work in Missouri? |
36031 | ( Voice:"Now, what do you think of Tawney?" |
36031 | ***** A DELEGATE-- Mr Chairman, are the propositions advanced by the Governors to be discussed? |
36031 | A VOICE-- What is the question? |
36031 | Am I correct, Mr President? |
36031 | And then we asked,"How do you make that out?" |
36031 | And this has another side? |
36031 | And we asked in that connection,"Who owns the Mississippi river? |
36031 | And we asked,"Have n''t people gone there and attempted to buy that land of you in order that they might settle upon it?" |
36031 | And what next? |
36031 | And who are enemies of Conservation? |
36031 | And who but ourselves( and each for one another) shall pass upon our credentials as to our honesty of purpose in this great work? |
36031 | And why not? |
36031 | And, last, may I say a word or two for some of the by- products of Conservation in Red Cross service? |
36031 | Any remarks on the motion? |
36031 | Are our people still better fed and more cheaply that work in the factories, that work for the railroads, that work in the mines? |
36031 | Are there any other committees to report? |
36031 | Are there any remarks? |
36031 | Are there any remarks? |
36031 | Are there any, and why? |
36031 | Are you ready to vote on the amendment? |
36031 | Briefly, then, of what does the American Red Cross organization consist? |
36031 | But how can the Nation be indifferent to the very stuff out of which it is made? |
36031 | But what is the condition now? |
36031 | Can you, therefore, Ladies and Gentlemen, ask if in view of these facts the Government of Great Britain is interested in your efforts? |
36031 | Chairman CLAPP-- Will the gentleman make a motion to that effect? |
36031 | Consider Scotland-- a poor and barren country, yet who would dare to call poor the land of Scott and Burns and Carlyle? |
36031 | Did n''t the boy who grew 150 bushels of corn to the acre_ do_ something? |
36031 | Do its waters belong to the States through which those waters flow? |
36031 | Do we want to bring men from Central America? |
36031 | Do we want to bring them from Mexico? |
36031 | Do you know it is your own salvation to do so? |
36031 | Do you remember the history of irrigation in the valley of the Po, in Italy? |
36031 | Does n''t that develop the country?" |
36031 | Does the Federal Government own it? |
36031 | Finally she asked,"John, why do n''t you say something?" |
36031 | First, considering the prime purpose to preserve and protect the forest, what has been the result? |
36031 | Fourthly and finally, what kind of education is it that the new needs call for? |
36031 | Gentlemen of the Congress, was the question of State rights, the_ real_, genuine doctrine of State rights, behind that demand? |
36031 | Governor NORRIS-- Has led? |
36031 | Has the Federal Government this right? |
36031 | Has this course been right? |
36031 | Have n''t they done a great deal of work to develop your irrigation projects? |
36031 | Have we lagged behind the National Government? |
36031 | He heard one of them say to the other,"They are having a great fuss up there in Congress over this Ballinger- Pinchot controversy, are n''t they?" |
36031 | He tells us that this Reclamation Service is costly-- thirty, forty, or fifty dollars an acre, to be paid in ten years without interest-- for what? |
36031 | How are the cities, towns, and villages in those States to grow if so large a portion of the land is closed to the husbandman? |
36031 | How do the people of the Old World raise big crops? |
36031 | How do they keep that land up? |
36031 | How have these things been accomplished? |
36031 | How shall we reach the people who have not yet been reached, and who in all probability will not be reached by anything published in the usual way? |
36031 | I have told you of the genesis of the soil- robber; is he here in the Mississippi valley? |
36031 | I would like to ask Governor Norris if it is not a fact that the Federal Government has led in irrigation in Montana? |
36031 | Is Montana entitled to take a place in the kindergarten class in the school of Conservation? |
36031 | Is all of this to be changed with the new interest in industrial life? |
36031 | Is any_ real_ interest of the women of the land in danger? |
36031 | Is any_ real_ interest of women inseparable from the interests of the fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons of the women of the land? |
36031 | Is it because they fear that we will fail to develop the country rapidly enough? |
36031 | Is it seconded? |
36031 | Is n''t it awful?" |
36031 | Is n''t that a resource worth conserving? |
36031 | Is n''t that worth thinking about? |
36031 | Is that Conservation? |
36031 | Is that motion seconded? |
36031 | Is that your pleasure? |
36031 | Is the Chair sustained? |
36031 | Is the Gentleman from the State of Washington present? |
36031 | Is the technical, in other words, to take place of the liberal? |
36031 | Is there a second to the motion for his election? |
36031 | Is there any interest of women to be compared in vital importance to themselves, with the conservation of true womanliness? |
36031 | Is there any other field where Conservation could produce results so immense and so important? |
36031 | Is there any other where it bears so directly upon our economic future, the stability of our Government, the well- being of our people? |
36031 | Is there in the country that intelligence, that self- denial, that moral courage, and that patriotic devotion which alone can bring us safely through? |
36031 | Is there not need of a conservation of higher things? |
36031 | Let a man go to town and become a lawyer or a doctor for ten or fifteen years, and then return to the country, and what is he good for? |
36031 | May I tell my own experience? |
36031 | Men with enthusiasm? |
36031 | Mr ROSS-- Does the Chair rule that I am out of order? |
36031 | Mr ROSS-- Mr Chairman-- President WALLACE-- Has the Gentleman a motion to make? |
36031 | Mr ROSS-- Will the Chairman please announce what the motion is? |
36031 | Now where is there worse farming than there? |
36031 | Now, are we capable of passing legislation to preserve our water resources? |
36031 | Now, are you doing that in Minnesota? |
36031 | Now, does all the water thus garnered from this immense watershed to flow through the State of Louisiana belong to the State of Louisiana? |
36031 | Now, what is our educational establishment, as it stands over against the body of our material resources? |
36031 | Now, what will be the result practically? |
36031 | Now, what will happen? |
36031 | Now, who is suffering? |
36031 | Now, who was so improvident? |
36031 | Ought it to be administered by the Government and disposed of for its profit, or opened to the people and shared with the States? |
36031 | Perhaps we may first ask ourselves: Why are we here? |
36031 | President BAKER-- Are any opposed? |
36031 | President BAKER-- Is the Gentleman a Delegate from the State of Washington? |
36031 | President BAKER-- Will the house be in order? |
36031 | President WALLACE-- Are there remarks on that question? |
36031 | President WALLACE-- Has the Gentleman any motion to make the order of business? |
36031 | President WALLACE-- Is there a second to the nomination of Mr Gipe for Recording Secretary? |
36031 | President WALLACE-- What is the further business before the Congress? |
36031 | Shall we grasp at a shadow in the stream, like the dog in the fable, and drop the substance to sink away from us beyond recall? |
36031 | Shall we hold the corporate plunderer to strict account, and let the single separate plunderer go scot free? |
36031 | So far as communism of capital is concerned, did not Cleveland''s graphic statement adumbrate the conditions as they exist today? |
36031 | So the virgin forests went into private ownership; and Mr Hill will tell you,"What of it? |
36031 | Take the great Mississippi; to whom does the Mississippi river belong? |
36031 | That is a highly intellectual job, is n''t it, for an American citizen, to grow food for a Danish cow? |
36031 | That would be going some, even in these days of"frenzied finance,"would n''t it? |
36031 | The best sites are already taken away from the people; shall we bend every energy to save what remains? |
36031 | The friend asked him,"Why have you chosen these peculiar dimensions for your wall?" |
36031 | The great question to each one should be: Where and how does Conservation apply to me? |
36031 | The real problem is,_ how we are going to furnish bread to the people at a price that they can afford to pay_? |
36031 | The real question is simply this, Who can best regulate the special interests for the country''s good? |
36031 | They had secured all the other sites along that river-- and for what purpose? |
36031 | This will be realized if I ask,"How many of you knew that we have such an association,"and"Did you know that it is now in session"? |
36031 | To whom are we answerable but to ourselves, the people? |
36031 | To whom does it apply? |
36031 | Voices:"What''s the matter with Heney?" |
36031 | Was any of it sold to actual settlers? |
36031 | Were they doing it for development? |
36031 | What came we here to do? |
36031 | What did President Taft say this morning? |
36031 | What do you do then? |
36031 | What do you know about that country?" |
36031 | What does this mean? |
36031 | What has been done with it? |
36031 | What is Conservation? |
36031 | What is being done to train the great body of mankind to whom this important task of Conservation is entrusted; and are the present measures adequate? |
36031 | What is the purpose of this Republic? |
36031 | What is the question before the house? |
36031 | What is the use in talking to Delegates now about calling the States in alphabetic order at 9 oclock on next to the last day of this Congress? |
36031 | What is this doctrine that the banker has become the censor of the individual''s needs and actions with his own money? |
36031 | What more absurd disposition of our timber land could have been made than the laws under which it has passed to private hands? |
36031 | What shall it profit to conserve everything else on earth if we fail to conserve the spirit and fiber of our citizens, young and old? |
36031 | What shall we do with the unattached man, to make him also responsible? |
36031 | What was done with it? |
36031 | What wonder fires were set to burn the choppings and make pastures? |
36031 | What worth have forests or mines or any material wealth, gained at the sacrifice of so much vital force? |
36031 | What, then, will society do with those persons who rob society? |
36031 | When we presented it to our Legislature, what do you think has happened? |
36031 | Where did bad farming begin, do you think? |
36031 | Who are Conservationists? |
36031 | Who shall estimate the wealth of Scotland''s contribution to the world and to America? |
36031 | Why does the public abhor and obstruct the physician in his study of anatomy, dissection, and autopsy on the human body? |
36031 | Why have we built them up so fast; why have they risen to such tremendous figures? |
36031 | Why is it that some of these men who have profited by our mistakes and our improvidence in the past are fighting against this Conservation movement? |
36031 | Why must doctors from time to time be themselves forced to urge the necessity of making every hospital a teaching and research institution? |
36031 | Why not? |
36031 | Why then does the public, as an aggregation of individuals, allow itself to become suspicious of the medical profession, an aggregation of physicians? |
36031 | Why, my friends, do you know what we gave to Mr Hill? |
36031 | Why? |
36031 | Why? |
36031 | Will somebody second my motion? |
36031 | Will you not help us in that, and so help develop the land and make it productive? |
36031 | Would you take the water away and stop the reclamation of the arid West? |
36031 | You can not trust the State? |
36031 | You may ask,"What has Rhode Island to conserve?" |
36031 | You may say, What interest have we, who are not a manufacturing people, in the mines and the water- powers of other States? |
36031 | You say, Give to the Federal Government the right to the water- powers of the State and forever prevent the further reclamation of our land? |
36031 | [ 3] President WALLACE-- Shall we vote on these Vice- Presidents selected by the Delegates from the different States? |
36031 | _ How_ can you account for it? |
36031 | a democrat interested in_ water_?" |
