cussions are such rs are of interest to all
and along the line of farm and household
work. Each member is given the same
amount of duties to perform and seldom
fail to do the assigned work Our men,
bers have become quite proficient in
reading, writing and speaking in public
and are quite proud Of the fact that the
wool can be kept off our teeth and moss
off our backs il we but try. No one
seems content now .a-days to let all efforts
toward higher education cease while
life last, we must keep up in this line or
be left entirely in the rear and the adj
vantages of good live farmers club will
not be unappreciated by any one who
belongs to one.
The farmers institute is an unappre-
ciated advantage OF farm life to many in
our state. That We have this opportun-
ity of mingling with or friends and
neighbors, exchanging thoughts and ex-
periences with those whose interests are
identical with our own, Of cultivating
our social natures, is, or should be, re-
garded as a privilege by all farmers fam
lilies, especially should the ladies OF the
farm enjoy it. If arrangements could be
made-and they can in most families
to devote two days to your own institute,
l believe it would form quite a refresh
ing oasis in the dreary stretch of winter
that many women have. Our county
towns are so closely identified with our
farming communities as to almost oblit-
crate boundary lines, and they are al
ways glad to see us come in and help
make things lively Most OF us have
relatives or friends who are too charita-
BILE to say they are not glad to have us
stop with them, especially when the Yis-
it can be paid back next summer. If
this exchang of visits is not agreeable
there is the hotel, or, better perhaps than
all, we can take our baskets, which is
quite feature in some institutes l at
tend, and have jolly good time picnick-
ing in mid-winter. Many pleasant &C.
quaintances and many lasting friends
can thus be formed, and this commin-
Cling is apt to make US appreciate farm
life more highly.
The morals surrounding the farm home
are advantages too often unappreciated.
That we live in an atmosphere of vastly
higher moral tone than is given to the
average class of mankind no one will
dispute. Only occasionally in country
neighborhoOds do we see moral wreck,
and even then, thanks to the space that
intervenes between our homes, his inn
morality is not forced upon US at every
hour of the day and night. Nor can it
reach the same pitch Of degradation as in
localities where many of these social lep-
ers coDgregate, each one helping the
other towards beastliness, and making
each example less conspicuous. There
are just about enough OF these outcasts
To serve as warning to the rising gem
Grafton. Country life is.not cOhgenial TO
vice, and these vicious individuals seek
homes elsewhere.
Our iresd9m from the hosts OF beggars,
professional and otherwise, which 80 in-
fest the city, is another unAppreciated
advantage we have. When We leave
home the chesrfulness Of our spirits ia
not quenched by the presence of the
proysrbial poor woman with ten children
at home crying for bread and whose hus-
band has Just died or Is just soing TO.
