When Labor is Easy.

Experience teaches that farm Ia
Dor, like labor everywhere, may be
"easy" or "hard" according to the
way the laborer regards it. If the
work is done because the worker sees
the Importance of it and finds salts
faction in doing it well, It will be
easy If the laborer regards the work
as being of little value and bemoans
the fact that there is no one else to
do it, it becomes a drudgery.
We should have good reasons for
everything we do and a strong de-
sire for doing it we'll. When we have
such incentives the work is likely to
be easy and we generally get pleas
ure from having accomplished the
task.
But it is very difficult to find pleas
ure in a task where one must contend
with the forces of resistance without
the aid of implements, machines and
and other conveniences needed. If the
hands must compete with machines
and implements then the worker does
not find pleasure in the work. Such
work is irksome and causes fatigue.
We owe it to ourselves, to the bust
ness of farming, to save our physical
strength and general efficiency by
making use of labor-saving aids in
farm work.
Improved machinery, farming i'm
plements and household conveniences
give pleasure and comfort. They are
required to rest the body and exer-
else the mind. They interest young
people and thus help them train the
mind.-Farm and Ranch.

"Uncle Sam" has had two big jobs
