THE RURAL NEW-YORKER,

When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, 
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, 
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, 
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, 
beauties and pleasures, that my -wife 
could share it with me. 
I would have a woman work outdoors 
as much as possible with a proper regard 
lor her health and the welfare of her 
family. And I would have her slight 
some housework if necessary, and have 
the men folks help with the hardest part 
of it, that she might have more time 
outdoors. A practical knowledge of farm 
operations would make her j adgment of 
more value in helping to decide ques¬ 
tions in which she, as equal partner, has 
an equal interest and should have a voice. 
Then she is peculiarly adapted to give 
that faithful, painstaking care, on which 
depend the profits from much farm work; 
and which the men folks cannot or will 
not give. It will not hurt a man to help 
in the house. He will get a better idea 
of the needs of the household, more re¬ 
spect for the difficulties, and more char¬ 
ity for the failures of the housekeeper. 
" Who should bring in wood and water, 
build fires, etc. ?” The men folks, of 
course. I’m glad you asked me and not 
my wife. She might have told things 
that I would not like to see in print.

Under ordinary circumstances, the best 
results will be obtained if the men do 
the work out-of-doors, such as caring for 
all the animals, and also do a few of the 
hardest things to be done in the house, 
those needing a man’s strength, such as 
large churnings, cutting up the quarters 
of beef or other meat, beating and lay¬ 
ing carpets, etc. On the other hand, the 
woman has all that she can do, in most 
cases, in her work of making a comfort¬ 
able and pleasant home. What each 
should do to help the other, must de¬ 
pend on circumstances, which vary much, 
in different cases. No rule can be given 
for all, except the Golden Rule, which is 
best of all, but not so easily followed as 
many people think. 
In cases where the husband is much 
driven with work, it may, at times, be 
well for the wife to do some of the out¬ 
side chores, as feeding young animals, 
or milking cows, or feeding poultry. 
This last, it may be well for the women 
to do much of the time, if they are well, 
and have not too many other duties, but 
it is not well to insist on their doing any 
of these things, as a duty, unless they 
feel able and willing. In case of the 
absence or illness of the husband, it 
may be the duty of the woman to do 
some of these things. Gardening is 
pleasant work for a woman, if she has 
time and strength for it, and wishes to 
do it. If the man greatly need help, 
and have plenty of women about, there 
seenis to be no harm in having one of 
them drive a mowing machine or horse 
rake, if she can, and is willing to do so ; 
but it ought to be one who has not much 
to do in the house. 
In the winter months, if the farmer 
have more leisure than at other times, it 
is very suitable for him to build the fires 
and to bring in the fuel. When there is 
running water in the kik hen, and wood 
is very near, it is not so hard for women 
to get it for themselves. Unselfish 
women, in their zeal for helping the hus¬ 
band and father, often go beyond their 
strength, and all should be very careful 
not to do this, as it is no help for one 
to make herself an invalid. I have known 
some women to work out-of-doors so 
much that their children were greatly 
neglected, when their husbands were 
well and had no more work, it seemed, 
nothers. —Be sure to use “ Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
than other men whose wives did not do 
men’s work. It seems lazy and unkind for 
a man to lie late in bed, thus making his 
wife rise in the cold to make the fires. 
When there is sickness in the familv, 
and need of help, for any reason, in the 
house, then men are sometimes obliged 
to do housework. In some cases, there 
are several boys, snd the father has more 
help than he needs, while the mother or 
sister has to toil hard to keep them in 
comparative idleness. The men and boys 
ought to be willing to do all they can to 
lighten the burdens of those so dear to 
them. I have known a good, energetic 
man to do many things to help in the 
house, and to go on so well with his own 
work that he seemed to have lost no time. 
While men should see that the household 
work is often very hard for their wives, 
and bealways willing to aid them, women 
should also be thoughtful for men, and 
realize that farm work is very laborious 
for them, and be careful not to ask their 
help at times when they must be very 
weary, if they can avoid it. Some women 
can hardly allow a man needed rest with¬ 
out asking his he’p, when they know he 
must be very tired. Be kind and thought¬ 
ful and give praise to each other, but no 
blame. mbs. c. m. h.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK. 
-Marcus Aurelius : “ Labor not un¬ 
willingly, nor without regard to the 
common interest.” 
-Anonymous: “But indeed, convic¬ 
tion, were it never so excellent, is worth¬ 
less till it convert itself into conduct.” 
... .Maurice : “ How easy it is to utter 
sentiments and to feel their truth deeply, 
how hard to connect them with real life, 
to bring them to bear on one’s own con¬ 
duct.” 
... .Jeremy Taylor : “ Can any man be 
faithful in much that is faithless in 
little ? ” 
... .Philip Gilbert Hamerton : “ Part 
of the very nobility of the devotion of 
the true workman to his work consists 
in the fact that a man is not daunted by 
finding drudgery must be done.”
