prosperity in agriculture will draw capital

But how is this Intelligent labor to be

Aud how are boys taught farming and

HOUSEHOLD RIGIIrS OF WOMEN-No

yet many men who would chafc and fret
it their business was delayed never give
thought to the fact that it is just as inconvc-

is the first law Of nature, and it should be
the same in families. \ regular day and

woman does not grudgc the money expended
