where no will is left this can be done
in several states.

WHICH SHOULD BUILD THE FIRE.

We are asked whether it is the duty
of the man or his wife to get up in the
morning and build the fire. On gener-
al principles any man in good health
who will let his wife do this work
needs the discipline of the church.
Where women are made to do this,
they will almost always speak of their
husbands as "their man." the tribute
which a slave pays to the master. The
wife is usually the last to retire. She
has the kids to look after, the cat to
put out, the clock to wind and, like
enough, some stockings to darn and
patch to put on Johnnys breeches long
after "her man" is abed and sound
asleep. Then, if a man has to build
the fire the kindling is always ready,
which is not always the case when
his wife builds it. However, there are
some exceptions to this rule. Where
the woman dominates and practically
runs the farm and the home and the
little man up in bed is only pawn for
her to move here and there, in such
cases let her build the fire every time.
Few men become so thoroughly hard
ened that they can listen with pleasure
to their good wives rafting the lids of
the kitchen stove on cold morning
while they lie comfortably in bed.

A late report from England states
that there is plenty of work to be OBJ

board-meat three times a day and
TWO pieces of pie and washing thrown
In and in some cases likely show to

daughter besides.

The average yield of the cereal crops
of England for the past ten years has
been: Wheat, 29.93 bushels per acre;
barley, 1913 oats, 3S.47. The average

pared with the average crop of the
west and northwest, but on wheat
England beats this country all to
pieces, save in a limited territory in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

Several Eastern net and Irvine manu-

purpose Of regulating prices in certain
