There was a Farmer who didn’t believe in 
Grangers Lime, 
And lie was wondrous wise; 
He jumped into a bramble bush 
And scratched out both his eyes. 
Now when lie found his eyes were out, 
And his farm it wouldn't pay, 
He used some Grangers Lime—brot hack his 
sight.

that can be added will help; these two are indis¬ 
pensable.”

The Cheerful Woman in Bloomers 
I am one of those women who wore 
bloomers last Summer. It seems to have 
become quite the usual thing for the 
housewives of this section to go out and 
help in rush season; even the housewives 
who some few years back boasted that 
they did not have to put their heads out 
of doors are making a good record in pick¬ 
ing up apples or potatoes, or milking 
cows. It. looks very much as if the 
farmer has taken his wife into partner¬ 
ship. It has been coming for a long 
while; that is. it seems a long while since 
I first was tempted to ride out to the 
field on the hay-rack after dinner witli the 
dishes yet unwashed, and the neighbor 
women sighed. “Poor girl ! What a life 
she’is leading, to be sure.” 
The Senior Partner likes to have me 
work with him for several reasons, but 
mostly, I suppose, because I take orders 
better than a hired man, and it is prob¬ 
able that I absorb his teaching of ef¬ 
ficiency with better grace. No doubt, too, 
he is lonely, and wants company. Hs 
asks my foolish advice about things be¬ 
yond ken. and weighs it with his own 
seuse of fitness, which is inexorable. It 
seems almost as if I produce the ideas 
and he selects the ones that, are practical. 
That is what I mean by partnership, 
more than a division of profits. 
It is inevitable that I am often dis¬ 
covered in the back lots in quite funny 
condition, perhaps with a teaspoon of 
sand in each ear. Some outspoken peo¬ 
ple do not hesitate to express their 
disapproval and say bluntly : “You are a 
fool to do this.” They belong to another 
decade, when farmers’ wives were kept 
busy keeping the house immaculately 
clean and preparing a feast on Sunday, 
not to mention running upstairs with a 
pitcher of hot water to see if the com¬ 
pany is awake yet. She was a tired wife, 
and there was a sharp edge to her tongue 
that she never suspected. And there is 
another objector who thinks we are fools 
to work on a farm when wages and hours 
are .so much better in town. After all. 
whether or not we like farming better 
than any other work is a question of tem¬ 
perament. There will always be two 
classes of people—those who love the 
white lights, crowds and distractions of 
a big city, and those with their pioneer 
spirit, who long for uncharted sections, 
solitude, and opportunity'for constructive 
thought; who find city life dull and 
stifling. If you wish to find out to which 
class you belong, listen to the wind howl 
some stormy night and analyze your feel¬ 
ings. If you instinctively move closer to 
(he fire, you were born a city dweller, but 
if you feel a thrill of exultation when 
the storm is at its height, you were meant 
to live in open places. Ambition may 
lead you to the crowded streets, but tem¬ 
perament will surely bring you back 
again. 
It is only natural that a change has 
come over our household since I began 
to work out of doors. The house is not 
as neat as it used to be, and the food 
served at table is very simple and easily 
made. There is an absence of those dishes 
which are only to tickle the palate, and 
which used to be thought so necessary: 
we have preserves instead of pie and 
cookies instead of cake. In Summer 
grandmother takes charge of the house 
and the two children, and I put on my 
bloomers. In the old days it seemed to 
be the accepted fact that 
‘‘Man works from sun to sun. 
TV Oman’s work is never done.”

The only time I had to read or think 
was when I stole a few moments; that is. 
took time that belonged really to some 
task, and then I read only the light fie- 
tion to induce relaxation. It seemed that 
the Senior Partner was always moody 
and restless, though I saw so little of 
him that it wae hard to guess his 
thoughts. The hired men frequently 
complained of the cooking, and I did my 
level best to apprehend their desires, 
which were most variable. We n0 
family life at all. Would you suggest 
to a man that bo ought to spend his even¬ 
ings in his room? I wouldn’t he a,s mean 
ns that. But somehow the hired help 
dominated our home life. The end of it 
all was that we gave it up and went to 
the city. In two years we were back 
again, on a different farm, with different 
ideas. These ideas were the fruit of close 
observation and hard thinking, and made 
success out of what looked to he the wild¬ 
est speculation. What thev were does 
not signify so much as the fact that we 
stopped and thought, making a change for 
the better by so doing. 
The Senior Partner and I are working 
together, holding conferences over our 
hills of potatoes in Summer, and under 
a lighted lamp on Winter evenings. I 
am afraid it would be hard to devise a 
social entertainment that could tempt us 
from our fireside and the latest maga- 
zines. of which we subscribe to a motley 
array. Dearest, to our hearts is the one 
which deals with life on the other conti¬ 
nent. though there is a weekly of fiction, 
travel and business articles that is a very 
close second. I see I am forgetting to 
mention the farm weekly that is so wel¬ 
come that it seems like a letter from home, 
and somehow seems out of place in a list 
of commercial scribble. I like to think 
of country life on the farm as the most 
broadening of all occupations; at least, 
the possibilities are here, and it lies with 
us to grasp them. mbs. f. h. it
