MOTHERS SHARE

There's a runt pig in the side lot
That is coming safely thru;
There's calf that's lost its mother
Which our ma is tendin' to;
There's a sick colt in the pasture
That she's also carin' fer,
Cause each spring the sick and
needy
Animals belong to her.
With her motherin' and lOvin'
It's a most surprisin' thing
How them colts and calves and
piggies
Fatten up and thrive, by jing
Till when autumn comes they're
ready
To be marketed, and then
Comes an incident In farm life,
That is some surprise again.

That was mas stock yesterday
Change to pas stock on the market,
And it's him that takes the pay;
Takes the pay while mother wonders
Till the springtime rolls around,
When she stills her heart by tendin
To some sickly pig she's found.

SCRUBS

One afternoon a neighbor came to
call on Mrs. Jones.
She found her washing at the tub
with aches and pains and grOans.
How do you 'do?" the neighbor said
You're surely all tired out"
You speak the TRUTH said Mrs.
Jones, "Of that there is no doubt.
scrub, and scrub, and scrub, and
scrub, and then I'm never done. My
hands are sore; my back is lame; l
have no time for fun"
Just then the door was opened
wide and Farmer Jones came in. He
threw himself upon the couch, a
figure bent and thin. II cannot
make the old farm pay, my cows and
pigs are scrubs, work all day, but
gain nothing; that's where the har-
ness rubs." The neighbor spoke in
measured tones, ''Cut out the
Scrubs" she said. "Cut out the
scrubs in house and barn, and then
you'll forge ahead" That's good
advice" said Farmer Jones, Just
leave the rest to me. I'll sell out
every scrub 1 own and buy some
pedigree"
True to his word an auction sale
cleaned out his bunch of scrubs. And
all his wife's old washing boards,
and boilers, stools and tubs; and in
their places, purebred stock came on
the farm to stay, and washer new,
of late design appeared that very
day. Now Farmer Jones tells every
friend, who plows and hoes and
grubs, the best advice he's ever had,
is this: "Cut out the scrubs. -

Taxation and thoro rest are mos
easily obtained by lying down and
unreservedly yielding the support Of
the body to the couch. Thus to spend
five or ten minutes in the middle OF
each day would enable many a worn
and weary house-worker to accom-
plish more with less fatigue, than Is
otherwise possible. The foregoing
suggestion is so remote from what
many an industrious woman consid-
ers her dutuy to her family as to seem
to her like theoretical nonsense
Nevertheless, it is body and brain
saving, good, common sense. Duty
to oneself should lead women to take
measures for saving health and
strength, while there is still fund
to draw upon. And duty to her
family should lead her to keep her
self always in fit condition to meet
an emergency.
Rest periods of 10 minutes, at in
be desired in the housekeeper's pro-
gram, and they should be taken be-
fore she has become so weary that
Is minutes do not seem to count.
Women do not rest often enough be-
fore they are utterly exhausted.
Moreover, young housekeepers full
of life and energy are tempted to
work beyond their strength without
planning for the reserve necessary
for later years.
Vacations are very important and
cost less than doctor bills and medi-
cines. They are much more to be
enjoyed if taken before one is en-
tfrely worn out and too tired to en-
Joy them. No one needs vacation
more than does a housekeeper.
Everything is brighter and more en-
couraging on her return and her
ia mily feels the benefit that has
come to her from a fresh point Of
view and a rested spirit.
Taking proper care of the body
will add years to ones life. Mrs.
Bishop, in her. book entitled Seventy
Years Young" makes distinction
between organic old age and some OF
the prevalent old-age bugaboos. She
makes yeasr the worst hObgOblin OF
all and declares that years are only
the arbitrary measurement of time,
that they have terrorized victims
into premature oldness Of mind and
body. What is more pleasing than
to see parents of grown-up children,
who look nearly .as young as the
in spite of a great diner
ence in their years. One good way
to do this is to take care of the
body, take the proper amount of rest,
and Danish fear of old age.

BETTER FARM HOMES

Aside from the comfort and ad-
vantages of a good house to the
members of the farm family, there
is a look of prosperity given to any
rural community, which can boast of
many nice homes. When motoring
thru any country, where the homes
are especially attractive, one i'm
mediately gains the impression that
the farmers of that locality are pro-
gressive and successful and that the
country itself is a good one.
Up to the present time Bingham
county has looked rather shabby in
this respect. Other communities
which are no more prosperous have
looked better to the people travelling
thru. This is partly due to the fact
that Bingham county has been set
tied up largely by farmers, who are
just making a start. Our county Is
not very old and we do not have the
advantage of the accomplishments of
generations past as do those in older
states. Many of the farmers are
still pioneering to a certain extent,
improving their land and trying to
raise the mortgage on the farm.
But, with the panic behind us and
a promise of better markets for some
of the farm products, we should turn
our thoughts toward the building of
homes. OF course, a man with a
mortgage on the farm cannot be ex-
pected to put money into house,
but we have quite number Of farm
ers who are out of debt and who are
still living in comparatively shabby
houses. If every farmer who was
financially fixed to do so, would build
an attractive and modern house on
his farm, our county would look
more progressive and desire for
good homes would be created so that,
as rapidly as possible, new houses
would be built on the balance of the
farms.
In case it is impossible to build, a
great deal can often be done by CIV
ing the old house coat of paint.
making the interior convenient with |
as much equipment as can be Sc
cured, and planting shrubbery on the
outside. Many houses which are
useless can be remodeled,
reprinted and made into very at |
tractive homes with much less ex-
pense than building new one
Let's all take a personal pride IN
our particular homes look pc
attractive as possible and the result
will be very gratifying not only to the
local people but to those who trave
through the county.

HINTS TO THE HOUSEWIFE

Be sure that your sink, If you are
fortunate enough to have one, and
your kitchen table are high enough

COOPERATION
CHANGES HOME LIFE

Forty years ago farm women in
Denmark did mems work in the
field. Today it is very unusual for
a Danish woman to do any kind Of
field work. II seldom saw one of
them milking cow" said CHRIS L..
Christensen in recent article in
Farm and F1reside. Cooperation has
helped to make the Danish farm 80
prosperous that women no longer
think of doing this work. Clothes
are sent to the cooperative commun-
ity laundry; Cooperative bakeries re-
lieve the cooks of part of their tasks.
Houses are becoming more comfort

community clubs. Group singing is

SAVING STRENGTH
IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Cornell Reading Course)

| (COruoll NoduluS OOuIooJ
Our observation of most women
indicates that they waste nervous
energy over unaccomplished work
It has been noted by housewives that
perhaps just before dinner, when
the family is expected home, or 1t
any other critical moment In the
days work, nervous tension 1s ex-
perienced which wearfes more than
does actual work. One way to get
along at such a time is to screw up
the nervous energy little harder
and try to go thru the ordeal of be-
ing the leading spirit in the house
hold and at the same time seeing
that the dinner Is on the table in
good condition and properly served;
quite a different way and more sat
isfactory Is to relax physically, and
by such relaxing throw on nervous
tension with the belief that every
thing will come out all right and
that even If there are mistakes, they
are not serious.
Repose settles very gracefully
upon a housewife. The other mem
bers of the family do not always
come home with the spirit of helpful
ness and cheerfulness, and when q
woman finds 1t necessary to be the
pacifier or the encourager it will be
a time for her to call upon her re-
serve power of strength. She there
fore needs to store up energy, for the
unexpected, because emergencies are
always having to be met in the
II she does not plan for
the unusual, the unusual is likely to
be "the straw that breaks the
cancels back"
One of the first things that many
persons need to do is to get rested;
then the mountain Of work and
worry will melt away into a POSSIBLE
ity of accomplishment. There are
women who would not be caught
mapping in the day time and who
would be afraid to be found sitting
In an easy chair in the forenoon.
Still, 1t may be clear gain Of time to
indulge in such resting periods, and
the couch and the easy chair should |
be frequently used.
Oftentimes we spend as much en- |
orgy in useless effort to get things
lone when we do not feel like do
