How strongly this preference of taste

Farm Life and Health.

Farmers are the longest-lived of all the
laboring classes and if they lived up to their
privileges. their longevity would be greatly
increased. There is no place like farm for
the children. Here the boys and girls have
plenty of chance to play out of doors. to dig
in the dirt and bask in the sun. and to live
close to Nature during all the period of body
building. In this way the foundations of
good health are laid. Then. too. the farm
er S work keeps him most of the time out of
doors. and under favorable h ygienic condi-
tions. There is variety in his employ
ment which tends to harmonious physical
development He is not, like the shoe
maker or the blacksmith. to exercise one
set or few sets of muscles constantly. while
the others shrink up from diSuse. Farm
life. too, calls for constant exercise of the
mind. The farmer who puts the most
brain into his work is the most successful
Then the leisure of certain seasons of the
year, and especially of the long winter
evenings, furnishes good opportunity for
reading, study. intelligent conversation,
and other means of mental culture Farm
ing tends to cultivate independence of
character. The farmer is his own master
more largely than most other classes of
men. He has not to cater to the whims
monstration that these things favor health
and longevity.
But there is a reverse to this picture At
certain seasons of the year notably in hay
ing and harvest time-the farmer is apt to
overwOrk himself. He rises early and goes
to bed late. More than this far too many
farmers suffer at all seasons of the year
from serious unsanitary conditions In and
about their houses and outbuilding, such as
carkened parlors, damp and foul cellars.
unventilated rooms, lack of proper drain
age and disposal of waste, leading often
times to a contaminated water supply.
These things dimish vitality, and the re-
suit Is rheumatism, consumption and
typhoid fever. Worst of all. the farmers
wife suffers from constant overwOrk druid
gerry and mental stagnation. She has
little recreation. little outdoor exercise.
little rest from the eternal treadmill of
household cares. The result is, that many

while still young. and too often dies pre-
maturely.
How can this he remedied? First. by
better farmingiE general; better houses.
cellars and outbuildings. better farms and
farmyards. better stock and cattle. better
cOnvenineces. and more satisfaction in life
Secondly, by better care of health: by rea-
lizing that health is the result of obedience
to natural law and disease of its violation:
by studying to know that law. to teach and
to keep it; and by laboring to make the
most and best of life.
