Steady Jobs Are Feeding the Stock
and Keeping Warm.
The great steady winter jobs on an
American farm in the north nowadays
are feeding the stock and keeping
warm. And keeping warm nowadays
means hauling coal. When lived in
the country, 1t meant cutting wood. It
meant for our large family constant
tcaming day after day from the woods
to the wood yard and wood pile that
must have covered q quarter of an

ing Of men with horse power and
buzz saw to cut firewood. and that was
almost ms interesting an operation as
thrashing.

the lake had frozen bard and the ice
house was filed, involving ice cutting

routine. with no quality of sport in 1t.
There was nothing so very slow
