Night work on the farm Ia not TO be
tolerated The old plan of working
from four o'clock in the morning till
nine o'clock at night was responsible
for creating q disgust for farm work.
and both the boy and the girl shared
this disgust. On many farms now no
work Is done after six O'Clock p m.
and this is right. There is no reason
why hours Should be longer on the
farm than la the city. But on the
farm more tine needs to be taken at
noon so that the morning and evening
chores win come further apart. We
doubt. however, If the ~eight-hour
day ever becomes the rule on the
