In Austrian Tvrol agriculture is carried on just as though the era of farm machinery 

 had never yet dawned. The sickle, as far behind the cradle as the cradle is behmd the self- 

 binder, is still the harvesting machine of the mountain farm; yet health and sweet content, 

 simple tastes and wants that are few, bring long years and a serene old age even to those 

 who must toil to the end.
