WOMEN on The FARM.

Certain correspondents OF agricultural
papers are advocating the plan OF asking
the women members OF their families TO
assist In the Highest part OF outdoor farm
work. a subject which had better be let
alone. Any farmer who needs the help
OF hls wife and daughter In the field would
better be out OF the business. Where IL
the farmers wife who has so much leisure
on her hands that she can assist la the
farm work proper II there are such
women turn the poultry over TO them and
sec them make money. Farmers who ara
advocating this outdoor work for women
would better look more closely into tina
situation When they will see that what
most farmers wives need n help In tho
woman's work OF the farm. In the kitchen.
Ia the dairy and Ia the hundred and ono
things they have 10 do. especially II thcra
are small children ia the family. Most
men are liberal enough about hiring help
