ed in the past for the city is
because of the more convenient homes
that were found there. Many a farm
woman has had her life shortened by
carrying water from the well or the

other hard labor from which the wom-
en- in town long ago were emancipated
Today the modern farm home is
fully as well supplied with conven-
fences as the house in the city, and
