Farm Life in North Dakota. 
I was quite amused by an article I 
read recently in Harper’s Bazar, by 
Elizabeth Jordan. It was an editorial 
on women on American farms. She 
says: “What a tale could the deserted 
farms of New England and New York 
State tell of wives who have been worked 
to death and bored to death! What a 
majority of the women inmates of our 
State insane asylums are farmers’ wives, 
their insanity brought on from over¬ 
strain of labor or everlasting lonesome¬ 
ness.” She says: “Can you fancy the des¬ 
titution of thousands of these women on 
the Western prairies.” The above facts 
might have been the case 25 years ago, 
but it is not the situation of to-day by 
any means; and especially is the case the 
opposite on the western prairie. The 
drudgery has been done away with in a 
great measure by labor-saving devices. 
Then the children are a great help in 
assisting with the work in the house. 
And by the way, the farmers’ wives are 
training their children in the right di¬ 
rection, and their willing little hands and 
feet save fnany a step. The farmer’s wife 
of to-day realizes that she cannot com¬ 
pete with sweat shops, and that she is 
able to buy ready-made clothing so 
cheaply that it does not paj’ to fill in her 
spare time sewing, sitting up until night 
was well-nigh spent and her back fairly 
ached with the eternal stitch, stitch, 
stitch. 
Nearly all the farms on the western 
prairies are equipped with telephones 
which enable the farmer’s wife to con¬ 
verse with her neighbors, and have 
friendly little chats, in lieu of visits. They 
have the rural delivery, which brings the 
daily newspapers and magazines to their 
door, so they can keep in touch with 
everything of interest that is going on 
in the outside world. The newspapers 
inform them what the President of the 
United States is doing, of bills that are 
being passed in Congress; what is going 
on in the scientific world. The maga¬ 
zines furnish such splendid articles from 
the great writers of to-day; articles on 
the future life, progress of the woman’s 
suffrage movement and educational sub¬ 
jects too numerous to mention. And all 
this too, at such a reasonable price, with¬ 
in the reach of all. The theater, too, is 
brought to the farm in the nature of the 
publication of acting plays in serial form; 
“The Servant in the House,” “What the 
Public Wants,” etc. I contend that if 
the farmer's wife of to-day does 
not systematize her work so as to give 
her ample time to read for the sake of 
pleasure and profit, it is her own fault. 
In some instances you will find that in 
their leisure moments during the day 
and long Winter evenings they will haul 
out pieces for an old crazy quilt, mate¬ 
rial for rag carpets, knitting needles for 
making woollen stockings; and then they 
will say they never find time to read or 
take any enjoyment in life. The majority 
of the farmers’ wives on the prairies be¬ 
long to some society, the ladies’ aid, or 
the W. C. T. U., where they meet and 
discuss topics of interest. They attend 
the farmers’ institutes, in which they take 
a lively interest. And by the way, what 
subject is exciting greater interest to¬ 
day, than agriculture. James J. Hill 
says the greatest question of to-day is 
“What must we do to # be fed.” Life on 
the farm never looked more inviting than 
at the present time. Farming is certainly 
remunerative, jean vaughan stevens. 
Rye Muffins.—These are so simple 
that a child can make them, but are ex¬ 
cellent to afford variety. Sift together 
one cup each of rye meal and entire 
wheat flour, four level teaspoons of bak¬ 
ing powder, one-half teaspoon of salt and 
one-fourth cup of sugar. Beat one egg; 
add one cup of rich milk and stir well 
into the dry ingredients with two level 
tablespoons of melted butter (or drip¬ 
ping). Bake in an iron muffin pan about 
twenty-five minutes. Have pan hot and 
well buttered.

"I would sooner raise cattle in Western Canada 
in the corn belt of the United States. 
Feed is cheaper and climate better 
for the purpose. Your market will 
improve faster than your farmers 
will produce the supplies. Wheat 
can be grown up to the 60th parallel 
(800 miles north of the International 
boundary]. Your vacant land will 
bo taken at a rate beyond preseut 
conception. We have enough peoplo 
in the United States alone who want 
homes to take up this land.” Nearly 
70,000 Americans 
will enter and make their homes 
in Western Canada this year.
