| T.. Todd, President Farmers In
stitute,
4 In a government report it is
said: ''rhe farmers wife is now
! So occupied with social affairs that
she has lost the art Of making but
ter and jam and doing the work Of
! the farm that her grandmother
did, This results in a great
eeouinic loss to the country.
The farmers wife in early days got upat half
past Two
And sht,led the plows and MIXED the cows
i and put the prunes 10 stew
The breakfast for the hands she set at upon
VI the stroke OF four
And then she'd bake her bread and scrub the
kitchen floor.
But now days the farmers wife has time to
cali her own
, ",iood graeious!'' SAYS our government: How
idle she has grown"
The farmers wife In days gone by, brought up
} the calves and lambs
And Sucked the oats and fed the shoats and
smoked the hickory hams
4 And when she'd cooked three great big meals
snecheerfuliy arose
/. And with her churn sat down 10 earn the
money for her clothes.
2 ! But nowshe often visits round and gossps
like as not
! ! my goodness says our government; How
worthless she has got."
lfrt 10
free from nerves, ,,
: lTweive hours a day she'd slave away at put
ting ~ preserves.
4 Six children dangling at her skirts, the sew
eGth on her arm
II She'd gameig set herself 70. get the mortgage
/ or the farm.
But now she sometimes takes a rest like cit
q women do.
aE"Great HeaVens!"' cries our government
Q What is she coming tor"
!, The farmers wife departed from this vale
, Il toll and tears
VI For happiercimes, in those old times, whe
r. under thirty years
The farmer got another mate@-he someho
re- always found $50"
The Ideal wife, who toiied through life an
TX rested underground,
4, But now sometimes her years add up the
re- edreat scout" exclalms lOurt' government
: \ How shiftless she's become"
:9p The womenaof our country al
waking 10, both on the farm an
, lin the city and not only in OF
= country, but in other countries
theworld.
~ We think the time. is comm
- when men and women will wor
I" side by side 10 ell the profession
IL We also think our children wi

: of the earth and the angel of pea'
~ will come to dwell with US, uni

That life Is sort OF pilgrimage sort o.
