In the olden times the farm was
a general loafing. place in the win
ter. The farmer loafed at the store
or smith shop; the cows loafed in
the stable, as the milk pals proved !;
the horses loafed and grew soft and
fat in their stalls, and the very lens
loafed ON the roosts, waiting for
spring before beginning to lay eggs.
A wonderful awakening has come.
The modern farmer is on the job
every day of the winter; the COWS
are doing their best to provide plenty
of fifty-cent butter, and the cheerful
