Back To The Farm.

The question of how to hold to
the farm those who are raised on
the farm, and to attract to the
farm some of those who swarm
In the cities, is engaging a large
share of newspaper attention all
over the country, The necessity
of more farm labor isl apparent,
and that the existence of all the
rest of the world depends upon
the tllllng of the soil Is, not dis
puted.
The glamor of city life, the
thrill of mingling with the multi
tude, the numerous diversions
there provided for idle hours,
form the great attraction that
brings thousands from the farm
ing district to the cities. Man
is a gregsrious animal, 1t has
been pretty well established,
and likes to flock with his fellows.
This he can do best by making
the cities his abiding place.
Formerly, the hard life of the
farmer, and the meagreness of
his returns were advanced as
reasons for the exodus of young
people raised on the farms as
soon as they were old enough to
care for themselves. But 1T is
vastly different now. The con-
dItlons of farm labor are much
less onerous and exhaustlng.
The financial returns are much
larger; the farming occupations
are more diversified, and social
conditions IN the country are in
tinitely superior to those of half
a century ago.
Therefore, 1t would not be sur
prlsing to note a natural trend of
many people "back to the farm"
in a short time. There is so
much more assurance of a com

The Prayer of a Horse.

To the, my master, | offer my
request. Feed me, water and
care for me, and when my days
work is done provide me with
shelter, clean, dry bed and a
stall wide enough for me to lie
down IN comfort. Talk to me.
Your voice often means as much
TO me as the reins. Pet me some
times, that | may serve you more
gladly and learn to love you. Do
not jerk the reins and do not whip
me when gong mp hull. Never
strike, beat or kick me when /
do not know what you mean, but
give me a chance to understand
you. Watch me, and if l fail to
do my bidding see if something
is not wrong with my harness or
feet. Examine my teeth when
do not eat-I may have an ulcer
ated tooth, and that, you know,
is very painful. Do not tie my
head IN au unnatural position or
takeaway my best defence against
aiesand mosquitoes by cutting
off my lateral appendage. And,
finally, my dear master, when my
usefnl strength Is gone, do not
turn me out to starve or freeze,
or sell me to some cruel owner to
be slowly tortured to death: but
do thou, my master, take my life
IN the kindest way, and your God
will reward you here and here.
after. You may not consider me
irreverent if / ask this, all this in
the name of Him who was born
IN stable.

community will have confidence
and feel absolutely safe in send
ing any part or all of the family
washing, and be sure of receiv-
ing it back, laundered as care
fully and well, as it could be at
home. Such a laundry is a great
convenience to any community.
for many times,even if the family
washing is done in the home, a
few pieces could be sent to the
laundry and you could tide over

twenty-six blue Mondays in a
year instead of 6fty-two. :
We use only the best of materials in
doing your work. We have a con-
tract with Proctor e. Gamble, makers
of the famous "Ivory Soap" to fur
nish us with all u soap for 1910.
Your delicately-colored and silk
pieces are washed by hand only with
"Ivory" here and you know what that
means. This is one reason why your
clothes smell so clean and sweet when
