American Agriculturist, June 9,1923 
A Bureau Not Used For Storing Clothes 
{Continued from page 495) 
499 
Right here is where I get into trou¬ 
ble again! In my younger days I had 
considerable experience working out by 
the day and by the month. I have 
eaten at literally hundreds of farmers’ 
tables. I can testify from personal ex¬ 
perience that the cooking on many of 
these tables was the best that I have 
ever seen anywhere. But I must add 
that there were some where the cook¬ 
ing would ruin the digestion of a cast- 
iron bulldog. 
Farm families have at hand unlim¬ 
ited supplies of milk, and with a little 
forethought, could have fresh fruits and 
vegetables in season and canned fruits 
all the year. With modern preserva¬ 
tive methods, they can have canned 
chicken, beef and pork. Yet I have 
worked in families day after day, week 
in and week out, on heavy manual labor 
from ten to fourteen hours a day, and 
lived on a deadly diet consisting mainly 
of salt pork, milk gravy, bread and po¬ 
tatoes, I say again, that farm cooking 
can be the best in the world, and usu¬ 
ally is, but even the best can be made 
better, and there is a lot of country 
cooking where there is plenty of room 
for improvement. 
The home bureau does work in cloth¬ 
ing where the aim is to teach the home 
maker the principles of clothing the 
family in accordance with health stand¬ 
ards, good taste and economy. These 
include information on the wise buying 
of materials, patterns and ready-made 
clothing; tests for quality of material, 
and methods of garment-making which 
will reduce the amount of time and 
labor expended and the amount of ma¬ 
terial needed. 
In home management projects, the 
aim is to put homes on a better busi¬ 
ness basis, with minimum expenditure 
of time, money and effort, and maxi¬ 
mum returns in comfort, health and 
satisfaction. 
Home hygiene and sanitation is an 
important part of the work, as are also 
projects in household furnishings and 
decoration. These include the study of 
how to recognize quality and how to 
select furnishings and decorations eco¬ 
nomically. One of the most important 
parts of the homemaking work is as¬ 
sistance to parents in helping in child¬ 
training. This helps to develop the 
child’s mind and character, and train 
him- in good citizenship. 
Through the county organizations, 
State Federation and the home bu¬ 
reau agents themselves, much work is 
done in supporting movements Jike 
those for better rural schools, njore 
recreation in rural communities, better 
county fairs, community and county 
libraries and improvement of the rural 
church. 
This is just a brief glimpse of the 
splendid job which the home bureaus 
are doing. We have seen enough of it 
to wish that every woman was a mem¬ 
ber of the local organization and that 
such organization existed in every 
county in the land. 
Perhaps this summary of what the 
home bureau is trying to do bears out 
my statement that through organiza¬ 
tion the women are showing themselves 
what a big job the profession of home¬ 
making really is. Whether a woman 
gets her training in the School of Home 
Economics or in the School of Hard 
Knocks, if she is to be a successful 
homemaker she must have more train¬ 
ing and ability along more different 
lines than is needed in any other occu¬ 
pation in which modern woman is now 
engaged. 
Therefore, when the home bureau 
has brought women to this realization 
and appi’eciation of the world’s funda¬ 
mental job, it has justified a thousand 
times the cost and hard work and sac¬ 
rifice that the members and leaders of 
the home economics movement 
making. 
are 
What Is Needed in Every 
Farm Home 
{Continued from page 485) 
Look about you a bit. How many 
things did you purchase in the last 
year that were one-half as necessary 
as the bathtub, considering it from a 
health standpoint? And when health 
is gone, what else counts? It need not 
be one of the higher-priced ones. The 
folding tub is not so lasting, but serves 
the purpose well, and is cheap. Deny 
yourself of a few luxuries and one is 
yours. Is it not true that hundreds of 
families spend the price of a cheaper 
tub in needless luxuries and notions in 
a month’s time, then speak of not being 
able to afford it? The better grade of 
tubs can now be obtained equipped with 
heater and built to fold and be wheeled 
into a corner and also into another 
room. 
The family of medium circumstances 
can have one of these when it is im¬ 
possible to have a well-equipped bath¬ 
room in the house. Yet we can enu¬ 
merate hundreds of homes in this 
section who do not even think of a bath¬ 
tub. 
Yet the very instant any symptom 
flares up the doctor gets a job. Well 
and good. That is their business, but 
I honestly believe that in many qases 
a prescription calling for a bathtub in 
the home would do more good in the 
end than the usual prescription of 
drugs. A vast amount of ills come from 
unsanitary conditions. 
Without proper bathing health wanes.

A sketch showing the arrangement of buildings on the New York 
State Fair Grounds, which are to be used by the National Dairy 
Exposition next October 
J UST\ within the main ei^trance gates to the left is the big Manufacturers’ 
Exhibit Building which will contain the United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture’s panoramic exhibit of the development of American dairying, and exhibits of 
dairy equipment and supplies. Across the plaza on the right of the entrance gates 
is the State Institutions Building which will also contain dairy factory machinery 
and supply exhibits. Beyond it, connected by a colonnade, is the Dairy Building 
wherein will be shown the butter and cheese exhibits, foreign exhibits of dairy 
products and equipment, human welfare exhibits, and where demonstrations by 
Boy and Girl Clubs and domestic science teachers will he conducted. 
Behind the State Institutions Building is the new cattle barn wherein will be 
housed more than 1,000 of America’s finest dairy cattle. Leading on from the 
barn is shown the Coliseum now under construction and which is to be dedicated 
by the Exposition.
