COMFORT ON THE FARM.

The lack OF comfort In the home OF n
farmer Is not, as q general rule, so much
the result Of necessity as OF neglect; nor
is il true that man or beast Is better Of
without it. A lot OF chink holes In the
barn may be sll right for ventilation 10
summer, but they bring discomfort to
the animals and cost great deal OF grain
when winters blasts are on. Discomfort
Is a source Of weakness and hindrsnce
TO development. The word comfort
means 10 strengthen much, TO encourage,
TO inyigorate. These certainly are great
aids 10 better life and furnish encourage
ment for successful effort. The COW will
Weld more and better milk II she hnds
comfort in her stall and pasture. The
steer will lay on more pounds II made
comfortable.
Carried to It's fullest meaning comfort
Ia not 10 be associated with efieminacy or
the weakening Of body or mind. So
essential Is this factor TO all life that
neither man nor beast can accomplish the
full quota of labor without 1t. Securing
comfort then in our homes and barnyard
does not mean extravaganza or an In
ves,ment that will not give good returns.
III a windmill Is luxury then pump
Ia one also, for the water might be lifted
with rope. Perhaps the cynic may call
the we'll an extravaganza, for the water
might be carried several miles from some
creek or spring. The farmer who can
ford IL and does not have comfortable
home Is not first-class cttizen.-Maine

room for the troop between acts. In
this amphitheater was q performing bar,
the sole piece Of stage furniture in the
outfit. About the space without the rope
the audience dispersed itself. There
were no seats provided by the manage
ment for spectators. so, while the Pike
county lady rocked herself serenely in
the splint bottomed chair that her hus-
band had brought along. the rest Of the
audience sat or reclined in attitudes thHy
found most comfortable ON the dry, haru

It was pleasure seeking extraordinary
and picturesque. Every man present
carried his weapons in full view, and
almost every one added to his enjoyment
Of the performance by smoking pipe

would like to contribute some money to
