Improving the Farm Home.

While most farm homes are lacking
In the conveniences that make for
comfort, 1t Is possible for them to have
many Of these conveniences at small
cost. Ofttimes the man of the house
does not consider how very inconven-
lent the woman has it, so cannot see
the necessity of putting in improve
work he is fully alive to the value of
labor saving devices.
How many steps the housewife must
take in her daily tasks that might be
saved with little rearranging of the
Kitchen and other rooms of the house
For instance, the cistern or well is usu-
ally located at some distance from the
mousse and the woman is the one who
usually has to carry the water. At a
small cost pump can be placed in the
Kitchen, so that with the same amount
of pumping she can get the water with
out walking for it. Then, too a sink
conveniently located in the kitchen is
a convenience often lacking in the farm
house.
1t is now possible to arrange wa
ter supply in the house at a compara-
lively small cost. so that running wa
ter, both hot and cold. can be had in
any part Of the house. This makes it
possible to put in a bathroom-a lux
ury that has almost become a necessity
with the city householder.
To save the wife's steps and her
strength is to save her health. Stop
and think how many miles the house
wife in the ordinary farm home must
walk In preparing the three meals a
day. In all justice the march of agri-
cultural Improvements should not over
look the welfare of the farmers better
half A little rearranging and improv-
ing will easily make things more con-
venient and add comfort and happi-
ness for all concerned.-GoodalTs

No FIattery Necessary.

to sell I'm not a man that can be

That's just what l said to my boss"
interrupted the agent. Il told him,
when he suggested your name to me,
that it was a relief to call on man
who did not expect to be praised and
tiattered to his face all the time. l
tell you, Mr.. Grump, this city has
mighty few men such as you Nine men
out of ten are simply dying to have
some one tell them how great they are,
but you are above such weakness. Any
one can see that at glance. I'm glad
Of it, It's helpful to me to meet man
who rises superior to the petty tactics
Of the average solicitor. It's real
and lasting benefit, and an instructive
experience"
Ten minutes later, after few more
such comments on the part of the
agent, the man who could not be fiat
tered into signing the contract was
asking which line his name should be
written upon.-Success Magazine.
