The MODERN WOMAN.
WOMEN ON THE FARM.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

enest to- the lonely woman upon the
farm. One authority gives the figures
as three TO one among the woman luna
tlcs OF the past twenty years. The lone
iiness has been increased among the older
women from the fact that the young
women. their daughters, run away from
It. Women have been found living upon
farms valued at thousands of dollars who
have passed months without seeing an
other woman, the farm being situated
of the main thOrOughfare with no pro-
vision for them to get away from it. The
report of This commission stimulated in
terest in the conditions of farm women.
The woman in rural localities now is
recognized as one of the valuable assets
of the nation and the conservation of
her happiness and health matter of
public advantage. Efforts to do this were
promptly inaugurated under various aus
pieces.
The general federation of women's clubs
continued study of the needs of rural
femininity after the report by the COM
mission. Each state federation was
asked to report upon the needs of the
women upon the farms in it's own state
Thousands OF letters went out for this
purpose and hundreds of visits We're paid
in every state. 1t was found that a large
proportion of western women had ad-
vantage over the eastern women in The
way OF modern home cOnveniences. More
of the houses are built with porches, run
ming water and bathrooms, because they
are newer, just as many of the western
cities have advantage over the eastern
cities in more up-to.date street railway
service and other public conveniences
While the western woman suffers most
from loneliness because the size of her
farm makes her isolation greater in many
instances, she has a more attractive
home.

Were Far Below Weight.

I'm striking contrast to- these figures
| the report points out "the average weight
of the milk station babies, when first
prescribed for, was twelve pounds fifteen
ounces, or they were, approximately,
FOUR and one-quarter pounds under
weight.
In ALL fourty-four infants were lost 1t
is stated that thirty-eight of the number
were decidedly ill at the time they were
| brought to the stations.
Discussing comparative death rates and
efficiency of the milk station service, the
report states:
The total number Of cases lost in all
stations from all causes during the
which includes two summers and one
winter, was fortyfour, or a death rate
of only 55.4 per thousand cases. 1t is
only necessary to compare this rate
sand births (Which does not include
those babies lost within the first week
after birth), as reported by the health
department for the District of Column
bia for the year 1912, to more fully
understand and appreciate just what
pure milk, properly prepared and used,
actually means for the babies of Wash
ington.
But furthermore, in view of the fact
that fourteen, or nearly one-third of
the forty-four milk station babies lost
were lost during their first ten days in the
| station, it can be but fair to assume
| that their chances for life at the time
| of admission to the milk stations were
| little, if any, better than those of the
| babies of the entire District who died
within one week after birth. If. in
| this comparison, we include all
| babies lost in the District of Colum-
| bia from al causes, as include all
| babies lost in the milk stations from
| all causes. then the death rate among
the babies of the District is increased
| to 1888 per thousand births, and the
| contrast between this death rate and
! that of the milk station babies be-
| comes just that much more striking
and we have q result of the COM
| parison a clearer picture of the results
of pure milk properly prepared and
| used and a still clearer picture, and
| therefore keener Appreciation of

The commission appointed by the
President several years ago to investigate
conditions of American rural HE
brought to light many of the reasons why
women as well as men are discomfort
with the life upon the farm me young
country girl often is more eager than her
brother to desert the country nome Iof
the attractions of city life and in many
cases with more real reason. Ihe ihNesli-
cations of this commission revealed the
fact that while the invention OF Iaooe.
machinery has done much to reVoiutlonlZe
the work upon the farm the men We're
the first to profit by it. Upon thousands
of farms where the stables were equipped
with running water and every improve
ment and the --latest machinery was IN
use for out-of-door work. the women still
were compelled to pump every drop Oh
water needed for the cooking ana clealG
ing from a strengthening pump OF,
perhaps to carry water from spring or
well some distance from the mouse, nhes
had no more assistance in the way OF
modern housekeeping appliances than
their mothers had.
II was found that while the men fire.
ouentIy went to town to attend local
meetings. bring home the mail and do
sundrv other errands the woman in
charge did not leave the farm for months.
The excuses that there was no suitable
conveyance, that the roads were 100 pao'
or the horses too tired, and other SEEM
ingly insurmountable obstacles often
made the mistress of prosperous farm
complete prisoner SO far as recreatlon or
social diversion We're concerned. Sne mao
the fresh air and green fields about her,
but even the most beautiful landscape

when there is never a chance for any

The advent Of the telephone has been
a eodsend to many a lonely farmers
wife. 1t has come into such general use
within the past few years that in some
states it is regarded as a necessity rath-
or than a luxury When a woman can
call UP her neighbor. even though she be
six miles away, and find out what she
is going to have for dinner, how she is
going to have her dress made which she

thing which would contribute most ma
terially to their happiness. Others wish
ed for running water and bathrooms. The
New England farm is small, as are most
of those in the eastern states, compared
with the broad acres of the west, SO the
loneliness and isolation is not so strong
a feature as i'm the case of the western
women.
The rural conservation movement al
already has become widespread and is in
creasing to active work The farm wOm-
an is the greatest beneficiary Of this
movement 1t has been responsible for
the establishment OF good roads permit
ting easier intercourse between the farms;
the organization of rural social centers
at which women as we'll as men derive
fresh ideas and inspiration; the improve
ment of rural churches and better school
facilities for the children. These last
two objects are nearest to the heart of
the farm woman and any means by
which she can help improve either her
church or the school attended by her
children will go far toward making her
forget the monOtOny of her own work.
Another matter which tended greatly
to depress any farm woman was the
strangeness she felt in her few visits to
town. She would accompany her husband
to town and half hour might suffice
to do her small shopping. She might
have several hours to wait before her
husband finished his more time-absorb-
ing errands and was ready to take her
home.
Frequently there was no place for her
wait same in the public parlor Of the ho-
tel. where she sometimes felt herself the
object Of critical scrutiny because per-
haps her clothes We're not quite according
to the 1ates style. A timid. shy woman
would prefer to sit exposed to the cold in
her buggy rather than submit to this.
In hundreds Of towns situated in rural
communities the activity of progressive
woman's club has done away with this
hardship by providing n waiting room
for faImels' wives. Here the woman
coming from the farm is welcomed cor
daily By other women who are glad to
ask her Cooperation in 70: ming one of
the rural Improvement cubs with which
the state declarations are greatly strength
en1ng their organizations. Travelling Ii
brary work and other advantages come
to her in this way and the farm woman
usually is willing to receive in order that
she may pass on the same good to
another.
