The Time for Weariness


There came to me the Notable Men
of the Congregation where | serve,
and they said to me,
Safed, thou dwellest too far from
the Synagogue. Behold, we have
prepared thee an House hard by the
Synagogue. Come thou and Keturah
and thine Household, and all that
thou hast, and dwell in the House
that we have prepared for thee.
Then were our hearts glad. For
we had lived three years in an Hired
House; and for all it had been Com
Portable, it had not been Home. And
we found it place of Weeds, and we
left it with a Hedge of Hollyhocks
round about it.
Now there was an Ethiopion maid
en- in the kitchen of Keturah, and at
that time her Sister-in-law's mother
fell Sick. And she left us for a sea-
son. And while she was gone, even
during the time of the Moving, Ke-
turah hired another Ethiopian, whose
name was Lottie, And she was in
her stature a Giantess, and in her
disposition a Mule. And Keturah
was Child beside her. And Lottie
was Insolent, and Idle; and the more
Idle she was permitted to be the more
Insolent she became. And Keturah
stood in fear of her.
And the children of Keturah said,
Fire her; and let her not have do
minion over thee; for she is an Ogress
and Savage.
But Keturah said, Not till after the
Moving, lest a worse thing befall me.
And the days of the moving came.
There came likewise the days of the
he
days Of the Unpacking. And men
came and did what they could be hir-
ed to do; for the Men of my Congre-
cation are generous men, and they
said, Labor not thou nor Keturah, but
Hire it Done, and we will Pay for it.
And we sought to do even as they
said, for they are Generous Men. But
wRdsohfi will oahlteoocs1 &C OnAndHp
there was much hard work to be DONE
And l spake harshly to Lottie, and
said; Take thou hold of this box and

And she said, Yassir.
And she lifted.
And i said, Go thou to the Base
ment and bring me hither an Ham,
mer and see that thou hasten.
And she said, Yassir.
And she went and came again.
And the more harshly spake, the
More Meek she became. And / was
minded to be harsh with her, for be-
ing Insolent to Keturah. And the
harder she worked, the more Amiable
she got.
And this continued for the space Of
Two Weeks, till we were settled in
the new home. And Lottie was Cen
tie, and Obedient, and Mighty Useful.
And Keturah beheld with great ad-
miration.
And it came to pass on the After
noon of the Second Saturday, that
spake kindly to Lottie, and l said.
Lottie, art thou not Tired?
And she laughed Loud and Long,
and she said,

Guy wires should be put in place to
keep the house from blowing over if
in an exposed position.
The A-type house is very good for
a few scattering pigs and may be used
to house a sow and litter in warmer
climates. In sections where cold
winters are experienced the front
hsould be closed in. This will make
good shelter for sow and her
spring litter. If the front is to be
closed this should be decided before
the house is built. This is necessary
Cor two reasons. First, provision for
ventilation should be made, which can
be done by inserting or 6-inch
pieces of by a inch material at the
apex and spiking the sides firmly to
them, thus providing a series Of q
inch spaces for ventilation. The sad
dle-boards are raised. Second, the in
sertion of the blocks to provide for
ventilation will change the angle at
which the boards for the back are
cut. The boards for the back should
run up and down.
In building the front proceed the
same as with the back. The door
