Comfort on the Farm.

There is one thing which constitutes
serious drawback to farm life; that
is, too great lack of physical comfort.
We have seen farmers spend several
thousand dollars in the erection of a
house with large and well furnished
parlor and never bathroom. Hot
and cold water can be just as easily es-
tablished in the modern farm house as
in the average village home. 1t is not
question of wealth, for there are a
dozen village homes with bathrooms,
to one farm home, and the owners of
the farm homes may be worth four
times as much as any of the villagers.
1t is neither difficult nor an expensive
matter to put the modern cooking range
in the kitchen, with its hot water
heater, and ten. barrel tank in the attic.
A large cistern, holding $50 barrels,
can be built for 800, and it will require
but an hour or so in week, with a
modern force pump beside the kitchen
sink, to fill the tank. Then the women
of the household will rise up and call
the farmer blessed, for they can secure
hot or cold water at a moments notice
by simply turning faucet. Or, if the
farmer so desires, it is easy, by the
proper attachments, to make the wind
mill at the well do the pumping. There
are lot of simple things that can be
done to make the farm home a spot
of comfort and delight. But of all
things there should be bathroom.
Better far to put less money in the
parlor, if choice must be made be-
tween the two. Some of these modern
ideas of comfort and health ought to be
a part of every farmhouse, especially
when a new one is about to be built.
We hear great deal said of the diff
Guilty of securing good farm help, espe-
cially on dairy farms. One reason for
this is that scarcely any attention is
paid to the comfort and bodily cleanli-
ness of the men. There is no provi-
sion made for escaping from the ever
lasting smell of the constable. There
is no effort to lessen the bad smell of
The stable itself by the use of land
plaster, and the same dirty stable cloth
ing is worn to the table in great many
instances. Any self-respecting young
man does not like to live in this way.
There is no provision made for his TAX
ing a bah or in any way making him
self presentable whenever he may de-
sire to do 90 AS one young mau said
to us once: Wherever | go, carry
that everlasting COW smell with me,
and | am asham, d 10 be seen in decent
company anywhere" Very much of
the disagreeable features of dairy farm
ing might be done away with if "a little
hard thought and little money was
expended in that direction. What is
lacking, ofttimes, is true sense of
cleanliness and neatness in the owner
of the farm himself. He could add i'm
mensely to his own comfort, the CON-
fort and happiness of his wife, daugh-
tiers, sons, and farm help, as we'll as the
cows, if he would stop and say to him
self: "Why are not I and my house
hold entitled to some of the civilized
comforts of life as we'll as those who
live in towns and who are worth less
money?"-Hoard's Dairyman.

1T MAY DO AS MUCH FOR YoU.-Mr.
Fred Miller of Irving, ILL.,, writes that
he had severe kidney trouble for many
years, with severe pains in his back,
and also that his bladder was affected.
He tried many so-called kidney cures
but without any good result. About a
year ago he began use of Electric Bit
tiers and found relief at once. Electric
Bitters is especially adapted to cure of
all kidney and liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One trial
will prove our statement. Price only
fifty cents. AT c. Blakely's drugstore.
