North to the Salt Fork
“The ground was ready to be harrowed and sown. There was a lot of work ahead, but a good corn crop that size would save them from buying feed the following winter. The nearby thirty acres of short oats needed rain, but it was doing well and should furnish enough hay for the milk cows and horses. It was an ambitious plan, but they had bought a good used Oliver mowing machine, so Shanes would be able to handle the farming and cut some hay if the rains came while Jack was away.
Luke was going north... with the herd, but only after a long talk with his mother. He’d be joining Jack’s usual crew: Jangles, Cotton and Arnold. That made four, but he needed eight more drivers and a cook before he could leave. McIntyre said he could handle the scouting without them, but he needed the younger rangers to stay on patrol. Jack spent two days a week looking for more riders to hire.
Some came by the ranch and asked for work. He culled the ones who were too young, couldn’t swim, couldn’t ride a horse or just had bad attitudes.MoreLess
