For broiliDg. cosl, makes better FIRE
than WOOD.
There is DO resson why farmers
should not have fresh mest all the
year round. There is certainly DO
sense IN stufing yourself full of salt
meat every morning and making a
well or cistern of your stomach for
the rest of the day. Every farmer
should ave an ice house. Upon or
near every farm ia some stream from
which plenty OF ice can be obtained,
and the long summer days made de
iehtfnl. DR.. Draper, one OF the
worlds greatest scientists. says that
ice water is healthy. and that it has
done away with many of the low
done away with many OF the low
forms of fevers in the great cities. Toe
has become one Of the necessaries of
civilized life. and without it there is
very little comfort.
Make vour homes pleasant. Have
vcur houses warm aud comfortable
for the winter. Do not build story
and s-halt house. The hali-story lie
simply an oven in which during sum-
mer, you will wake every night, and
feel in the morning as though only
the rind OF yourself was left.
Decorate your rooms, even if you
do 80 with cheap engravings. The
cheapest are better than none. Have
books, have papers, and read them.
You have more leisure time than the
jewellers in cities. Beautiiy your
grounds with plants and flowers and
vines. Have good gardens. Re-
member that everything OF beauty
tends TO the elevation of man. Every
little morning glory whose purple
bosom is thrilled with the amorous
kisses of the Gun tends to put bios
som in your heart. Do not Judge OF
the value of everything by the mar
ket reports. Every flower about the
house certifes to the refinement OF
somebody. Every vine. climbing and
blossoming, tells of love and JOY.
Make your houses comfortable.
Do not huddle together in q little
room around q red-hot stove, with
every window fastened down. Dc
