This with the painting and papering will
make his home one of the pleasantest
farm houses in this town. We are glad
to note this and only wish that farmers
generally would give their families pleas
ant and cheerful homes. They need not
be lavish in fixings and furnishings. but
they can be comfortable and attractive.
There are some farmers who give their
horses and cattle much better accom-
modations than they do their families,
thinking more about the comfort of the
former than than they do their wives and
children. This should not be. Homo
ought to be made comfortable and pleas
ant for those who spend all of their time
therein.
