Above all. use the wheelbarrow. The
wheelbarrow is your best friend on the
in and day out, and make Its load as
heavy as you can manage withoutiover-
doing. Wheel 1t up hill and down
dale. Bend and push 1t far ahead OF
you; draw up into it and straighten
yourself. good run with 1t will do

and yet 1T seems a pity to let this
chance in the year go by. For there
is no milk like the fresh farm milk.
no cheese and butter like that you can
get now--if they are the cheese and
butter of your own making, SO much
the better. And the cream-think OF
the cream! Fresh and ricn and pure,
with no possibility of adulteration--
what an opportunity for the thin wo-

to rise should be your motto. There is
nothing better in the way of a tonic
than a brisk walk or run over dewy
fields in the early morning while the
air Is still cool and bracing. You will
come back with a breakfast appetite
that would do credit to one of the farm
hands himself. Don't be ashamed of
1t. There is too loud a cry in the city
about over-eating. 1t applies to some

our modern nervous, over-worked wo-
men who eat too little instead of too
much.
If you go to the farm tired, make a
business of sleeping from eight to
twelve hours a night. Sleep Is often
a greater fattcner than food. 1t will
be easy to turn in with the chickens.
