In the morning, before Ben left the house for the fields, they made love. When Ben came back from the fields, they made love.

And again at bedtime, they made love. The problem was their nooner; it took Ben a half hour to travel home and another

half hour to return to the fields and he just wasn't getting enough work done. Finally Ben asked the town doctor what to do. 
"Mr Goodwyn," said the doctor, "just take your rifle out to the field with you and when you're in the mood, fire off a shot into the air. 

That will be your wife's signal to come out to you. Then you won't lose any field time." They tried Doc's advice and it worked well for

a while. Ben came back to the doctor's office. "What's wrong?" asked the Doc. "Didn't my idea work?" 
"Oh, it worked real good," said Ben. "Whenever I was in the  mood, I fired off a shot like you said and the wife'd come runnin'.

We'd find a secluded place, make love, and then she'd go back home again."

"Good, Ben. So what's the problem?" asked the Doc. 
"I ain't seen her since huntin' season started."
