Excerpt from Pumpkin Husks: Yarns by the Village Cutups and Hayseed Rubes, And, Jokes as Seen by the Countryman

Bod-carrier. We didn't have any cow that was old enough to give chalk-water, so I gave Hesp enough money to pay for it. We both went after it, and on the way home she fell down and strained her milk. We had to pass Hesp's farm first, and what did Hesp do but drive her into his barn. I didn't say anything, but thought it was kind of a queer thing to do, seeing that I owned half of it. That night about supper time I sent the hired man over with a pint measure to get some milk, but he came back with the empty measure and said that Hesp said that the front half belonged to me. I had more trouble with that cow. I was arrested one day because the cow killed a man. I had to pay all the damages because the front half killed him. I got even with Hesp though - I killed my half, Hesp's half died. Hesp made beef tea out of his half; I stuffed mine, so now whenever I think of Hesp's meanness I can go home and kick the stuffing out of the cow. It's nice to be on a farm in the spring time, as you can see the little lambs gamboling (gambling) on the green. It is also a very danger ous time of the year to visit, as the bull-rushes out and the cow-slips about and the little Sprigs are shooting all around. We had only one acre of land, but we growed two crops a year on it at the same time. We stood the one acre on end and planted on both sides. A mortgage held it up. We raised onions on one side and potatoes on the other. It didn't pay much, as the potatoes and onions got to fighting and the onions got in the potatoes' eyes and they couldn't see to grow, sol'd GO m m stufi'w out orthe cow.
