Tho Farm, Home.

FROM WdlldCeS Farmer.
The big thing to the farmer who tills
his own farm is not the farm nor it's
improvements nor the live stock, but
the family; and the farm is worth while
only in SO far as it enables the farmer
to maintain a home on it. The farm
gives material for a healthy living; but
the life that is lived on the farm, if 1T
a life worth while, is spiritual. We
have done ourselves damage by limit
ing the use of that word spiritual. We
confine it to worship or worship that

1t is really a divine thing, whether gem
