INDOOR FARMING.
How TO Make Rural Life Agreeable and
Profitable to the Entire Family.

How to Make Rural Life Agreeable and
Profitable to the Entire Family.
When q woman consents TO take
charge of the household on n farm she
ia either brave or ignorant. If brave,
healthy and vigorous, but not too IN
bilious, she may be happy in the
secluded busy farm home, where the
labors are legion, trials many and
profits fe' il reckoned in cash; but if
in pure air, pure water and freshest of
food, tn are many.
The first requisite for indoor farm
ing is health, that the body may be
strong to endure and the mind sound
to plan, for much lies in the laying out
of the DAYS labor. Where there is no
mark set there is no goal won. Exceed
tive ability is Il treasure all farmers
wives should possess. She who has it
not must work twice as hard and ac-
complish less than her fortunate sister.
The second requisite is economy,
true economy, that saves every thing,
even time. do not call it economy to
dry apples at four cents a pound. 1t
will pay better to be taking runners oil
strawberry plants, decapitating rasp-
berry and blackberry vines or taking a
drink to some thirsty plant or lots of
things that will grow cash. A penny
saved is a penny earned, and a good
garden is the farmers savings bank.
Nor do think it economy to try and
do without help indoors. | do not
agree with him who said: Zone woman
should do indoors for three men out"
One can get along somehow, but it is
at the cost OF health and many things
that would be a profit as well as pleas
ure to have done, 1t is admitted
there is as much profit in poultry
as in any farm product, and
that woman. having more patience
and sympathy, is likely to be
more successful than mar in caring for
it. But poultry to be profitable must
be properly attended, and that atten-
ton is required when the housewife is
most needed indoors, if she has no AS
| %sistant, so she who works unaided will
not be a poultry-raiser. Four hundred
