Money and Hard Work.

1t must not be understood that we are
going to pick all this stuff off the trees
or that they are springins up out of the
ground of their own rolition. They are
costing US money, a lot of it, and no end
of hard work. 1t will not be until the
books are balanced next fall that 1 will
be able to tell whether they have cost
us less or more than If We had re-
manned in town and bought the same
supplies in market. Were Il to charge

Other Things to Consider.

And it must be remembered that
there are many things about life in
| the country that cannot be set down
in a ledger and added up with col
umn of figures. If they could be. some
would have to go to the credit and
some to the debit side. But were a
separate account kept of these in
tangible gains and losses, | am certain
the account for our family would
show an enormous balance on the
credit side. In other words, living in
| the country. to- us, has brought
health and happiness that cannot be
measured in dollars and cents. Jane
and the children were never so happy
| in their lives, and though I have
worked hard and have INDUCED in
| more or less self-pity. feel better and
am more contented than j ever was
before.
1t doesn't follow, though. that every
other city family would be able to
| write the same record. There is no de
nying that the country has its draw
backs. it's hardships and its depriva :
| tons. TIE some people these would
seem much more formidable than to
others. 1t is largely matter of tenn
permanent and liking. We like it. and
find that the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages. For people who didn't
like it, the scales surely would tip the
| other way.
Bill. the broken down old horse that
Jane bought at auction, has contrib
| uted to our pleasure and satisfaction
| with the country out of all proportion
| to his cost. l am afraid, in fact, that
| without Bill discomfort would have
crept in before this. I know that had
| l been forced to continue the four
| miles-a day walk to and from the sta
ton the edge of my enjoyment would
have bean. considerably dulled. Not
that walking is not a healthful and
pleasant exercise. when weather con-

a party OF friends went to a secluded
spot on the river shore below Marshall
Hall and enjoyed dinner. 1t was their
intention to make an effort to catch a
few fish. but the dinner was more at
tractive than the fish. they stated. and
when the meal was finished it was time
to hoist anchor.

There was a disappointed lot of fisher
men on the river last Sunday. Scores
of anglers were out early and remained

them all.

Inexperienced With Cows.

All this may sound more or less apsurd
To- persons who are countrybred. but it
must be remembered that 1 knew no more
about cows than Digger Indian knows
of the nebular hypothesis. l knew that
cows gave milk and In a general way
realized that 1t wasn't dipped out of them
with a ladle. but as to the actual opera
tion OF milking a COW 1 had never given
a thought, nor ever expected TO-, until
this .back to the soil'' movement laid its
hold upon US.
Even after coming to the country |
didn't want to undertake the care ana
rnjlkinR of a COW, but when man finds
himself in the fell clutch of circum-
stance it isn't much use to kick against
the traces. That may be mixing meta
phor. but it describes pretty accurately
what happened to me. Jane made up her
mind to have COW. took milking les.
sons on the. sly under the tutelase OF
Mrs. Brown, and then put it. up to me
either to come across" or confess my
self the weaker vessel. OF course, she
didn't put it that way, but that's What
n amounted to. I might have FACED IL
out with Jane but when 1t came 10

err could there didn't seem any cnolce

matter. after all.
OF course, now that things are Eoins
along better, I'm glad we bougnt .tne

short chain attached. At the other end
of the chain was a strap to buckle around
the cows near hind leg. When this was
in place she soon abandoned her efforts
to kick me out of the STALL
the weaving of the calf. She had means
of manifesting it that couldn't be con-
troiled with strap and chain. There
may be ways of tieing up cows tail.
but I didn't know how to go about it.
And 4et.-sne tell You that when "a COW
sets out to use her tail as a weapon OF
offense it is not a thing to be despfsed
She can deal blow with it that would
arouse the temper of the mlldest OF
men,.
Her restlessness and tail switching. ac-
companied by plaintive .'moos," were bad
enough but they didn't: present as diff
cult a problem as her upwillingress to
gire down milk. AN experienced mixer,
no doubt. knows how to coax the tlaeteal
fluid even from reluctant COW. but the
Job was up against was difficult enough
without having her go balky on me. II
was not until I had her attention divert
ed, from the calf and had it centered IN
a bucket of mash that was able to make
any Roadway. She isn't making so much
trouble now, but Wednesday night and
Thursday there was a COW for sale cheap
at Sunny Knoll. Only the fact that an ad-
mtring family expected heroic things OF
me kept me from quitting in disgust. l
felt then that the kind of milk you buy
In cans at the grocery store was plenty
good enough for me.
