A few shade trees that hide
some of the hot sun and hard
winds, but none of the beauty of
the place.
A COW that is worth her weight
in butter and is not for sale.
A bunch of hens which do a
lot of cackling and laying and
the rest of the time are scratch
ing for themselves and their
owner.
A dog that will bark at strang.
ers and sometimes at the moon,
and viii wag his tail when the
neighbor comes up the walk.
A well that never runs dry, II
family horse that never runs shy
and a grocer's bill that never
runs high.
A garden which has something
growing in it all the year 'round
besides weeds.
A mail box that is seldom
empty when the carrier comes
around aud is never empty when
he leaves
An orchard that will bear all
kinds of fruit and any kind of
inspection.
A father whose sons will lend
u helping hand in solving all of
the problems of making the farm
pay.
A mother whose daughters will
relieve her of the hard work in tie
house and will see that she takes
a vacation once In a while.
