THE MODERN FARM HOME.
How Work Can Be Lightened For Wo-
men In the Country.

How Work Can Be Lightened For Wo-
men In the Country.
1t has been said that the home of the
farmers would be made more attrac-
tive and the burden of the farmers
wives lightened if the farmers had
that the land yields him and his but
scanty living and that his labor is
long and hard and his rewards are
few. This is only partly true. Much
of the drudgery on the farm both for
the farmers wife and for himself, is
due not SO much to a lack of money as
to lack of thought.
Many Of the conveniences of the city
homes now regarded as necessities
could be put into country houses at
slight cost. Women of the farms have
gone along for generations enduring
hardShipS and bearing the real bur-
dens of country life without complaint.
They have done their part nobly. They
have cooked and washed and ironed,
have done their homework, borne their
anu reared LuGlu Ill TIC leu
| of God; have made the clothes for the
growing family and for themselves and
attended to the thousand duties of the
household, day after day and year aft
er year, with little opportunity for re-
| taxation or rest And in all this they
have been patient. bearing their hard
ships, putting up with Inconvenience,
because they love their homes and
their families. The most divinely pa
tient creature on earth is the farmers
wife,
For years improvement has been go
ing on in machinery and appliances
that have lessened the farmers labor
and increased his productive capacity.
These things have been mostly for the
fields. But of recent years inventors
! have turned their attention to the
things for the homes, and with them
the burdens of the farmers wife are
| being lightened.
1t is not becoming in the farmer to
cut his grass with a mower instead OF
scythe and let his wife pump water
when a windmill or gasoline engine
would do it for her. There is no rea
son why any farmer who can afford
manure spreader should not have run
ming water. hot and cold. in his house.
Acetylene gas or electricity would be
cheaper in the long run than kerosene
oil and do away with the trouble OF
lamps. A washing machine costs only
as much as any ordinary spike tooth
harrow, and so on along the line.
The rural free delivery Of mail. the
extending telephone lines and trolley
lines that are spreading over the land
are all doing their part for the i'm
provement of the farm home and the
lettering of the condition of the farm
er's wife. And the time will soon be
here when drudgery will be at mini
| mum in the country, and the home of
the farmer will be as comfortable as
any in the land.

There is no sound so calculated to

the nighttime when all is still, has
gone further to take away their cour-

of the wolf has in it dismal wall that
renders it more dreadful even than the

The shon ON the Farm.

The farm workshop should be de-
tached from other outhouses. 1t should
contain forge, chimney, stove
and a solid workbench, with good
steel wise heavy enough to hold firmly
a two inch shaft
One of the most important tools is
the wise good heavy steel wise costs
from So to So. and it is worth every
cent Of what it costs. If you get a
good one you can never break 1t or
wear it out. but if you get cheap one
1t is an aggravation from the very first
time you use it. The same may be said
of other tools. Whatever you get, get
good. If you can only afford half
dozen bits, get twist drills. because
they will bore either wood or iron, and
they are accurate as to size. Get other
tools as you can, but get them good
every time, then use them carefully.
Remember that a buzzsaw is not in
tended to cut iron. A good Jennings
bit will bore clean hole until you run
it against a nail. but it will never bore

weeds by the use of feeds made up in

about 80 per cent of flax and shrunken

Ust Ussa, toward the Obdorsk noun

cold to fight.
At sunset it was below zero, and at
midnight, when they were hundred

fallen 20 degrees more.
With the speed at which the automo-
bile was going the wind was like
needles at first and then paralyzing
into numbness.
But Helga Plenavik was covered
deep in the furs, and her man Ivan
bent his fur capped head and urged
the machine forward at reckless speed
in view of the desperate nature of the
journey. Since starting they had not
once spoken.
AS they climbed the mountains the
snow that at starting had been only a
white blanket grew deeper and yet
deeper, but with crust which at their
high rate of speed bore up the ma
chine.
AS they flew on particles of ice and

midnight, as they were nearing the
summit of one of the lower ranges.
