THERE is much comfort con- nected with getting things all in shape for winter in the shed, plenty of fodder in the barn, corncribs filled up, blow. ing all done, water supply handy for the stock, the cellar filled up with vegetables and canned fruits. When this is all done. as it may and should be, the man who has worked fourteen hours a day for five months may look forward to the winter season with pleasure as time for a measure of rest and recreation. One trouble is that too many of us try to get ready for winter after it is here, and then there is no fun connected with it.
