right sort OF woman as a mans life
partner In his farm work has more to
do with his success or failure than al
most any other thing Still, at the
same time We feel that any advice given
on this subject is entirely useless,
for 1t Is very rare indeed that people,
even sensible ones, use any sense about
heir matrimonial affairs. When Cupid
takes a man in hand, all his other
genii and protecting angels take at
once 70 the woods and leave him to his
fate. but II our friend is really disposed
to look at this matter from a sensible
standpoint. We might say this much:
First, the woman selected as his wife
should be herself physically healthy
and ocme OF a healthy family. Too
much importance can hardly be placed
upon this one thing More might be
said upon this point, but we leave 1t
for our friend to draw his own conclu-
sions Second, a good deal depends up
on just what he wants wife for. II
he wants a worker. woman to do the
housework after fashion. do the milk
ing, feed the pigs and help in the har
vest and bayfield,. he had better go
down to Castle Garden and propose to
one OF the brawny and unspoiled
daughters of Ceres just arrived from
some foreign country where necessity
compelS the woman and slavery to he
connected and where conditions pre-
vent the development Of woman upon
the American plan On the other hand,
if he wants n companion as well AS Il
helpmeet, wife who will make him a
home in the largest sense, one who
will aid him In hundred other ways
than with her hands--hc will be apt to
find her among the many schoolma ans
of his locality or in some neighbours
daughter who carefully trained in the
arts of domestic economy. is her moth
er's mainstay at the old home. Our
friend will find this - that the best
girls those who viii make the best
wives. are not taking up with the first
fellow that shows up and very scnsi-
bly, are preferriug TO put up with a life
of single blessedness rather than one of
married misery. Any girl who has
been well trained by a competent moth
or, who is kind and helpful TO those In
her own home, who possesses that
sense Of culture and refinement which
so graces the American woman and
who is not ayerse 10 life on the farm
will make our friend n good Wife, pro
vided there exists mutual liking. II
he will look out along these lines. he
will easily find the girl and not have to
go very far either,

Grandfather's WAY.

Conservatism in agricultural methods
is all right up to a certain point. but
we still always like to see Il man doing
q little experimenting with new meth
DDS and new things. Grandfather
way was the best for pioneer condl
tons without doubt. but his way "
doing things will hardly pay Ia these
days of high priced land and high
priced farm labor. A modern farmri
caunot afford to make his own axe
helves. fork handles and bob sleigh
or let his stock run to the haystack
to save the work OF feeding It. or make
his own sorghum for sweetning. OF have
his own grist OF wheat ground oi
butcher his own Ineats. or make his
own butter or have his wife make his
wamus aud overails. fot modern ina
chinery and cooperative effort can do
all these things AT so much less cost
The wide awake man viii let others do
ali these and many other things anf
viii devote his energies along the linz
of growing better crops and keeping

Other Mems Wives,

There is a great deal of very foolish
stuff written and printed about the
peculiar burdens OF the farmers wife
Now, for the life OF us. we cannot see
why the wife OF the town mechanic
and day laborer does not have just as
hard a row to hoe as the wife OF the
man on the farm. Many OF this latter
class are compelled to take in washing
and do mental work for other people
in order to keep the family going, and
society is less kind to them than il is
to the farmers wife. Not a few of
these town women have cards for hus-
bands - loafers. drunkards and no.
'counts-and with no COW, no garden,
no poultry yard, no timber lot; they
stick on the dividing line between
the poorhouse and starvation year III
and year out. let somebody pity the
mother who lives in town who is
barred socially because OF poverty.
who can hardly garb her children so
that they can go to the public school
or to the church, while her hushand is
roaring against the existing order OF
things on some dry goods box down
town.

Will Kill the Trees.

A writer in one Of the leading agri-
cultural journals referring to the keep

makes the questionable statement that
the tramping Of the sheep around the
tree tends to conserve the moisture in
the ground and SO benefits the orchard.

verse OF this is true and that if one
wants to rob a tree of all moisture
there is no surer way to do 1t than 10
pack the earth hard over its root sys-
