Before me ries a letter from the wife of a farmer in which is this fill' : "It is seldom that my husband and myself take a vacation. We do feel that we can afford it. I cannot understand how so many afford it-

ususlly come home more tired than they go. I can rest better in rn?

home if I can get my work done sol' that I can take the time." » Oh. the pity of itl Can you not lee the colorless lives ofvthose two; the eless grind. grind, grind, days merging into weeks, these into monthl-

onths into years, with life and the whois world circumscribed by iii' uudaries of their little farm and the rising and setting of the sun! They on question the economic right of other people to let goof the plow han-

dles an`d put away the dish mop for a little while. They regard such ac- tion as sheerr waste of time. ,They have failed utterly to grasp the Dfvbiam of life in its larger aspect. Not consciously selfish, they are living 101' themselves alone. and for themselves not well. They are a type. In the ul! marts of the city I have heard men boast they had not been away fi`°m

ness for a day in twenty years, and when asked why. the answer has

K, invariably the lame: "Can't afford it."

Hardly lass pathetic than the above letter is this one from another part U19 ¢0\lilii'Yi "ln my twenty-two years of married life I have had two va- tions. When we had been married two years we took a carriage drive of

miles, taking in a fair and visiting nlgtlvesi on the way: we were gone

days. Eighteen years later, when my husband was in the legislature, I

ur years and have never made a visit of more than a day away from home. ith one exception, when I visited my sister for one week.” Think. of that! no week in twenty-four years! ‘ f

It has never occurred to these people to look at this question from 91°

their view-point. It is not a question of whether they can afford to take re-

ation, but whether they can afford not to take recreation. "Wear out but

I,n0t rust out.” is good as far as it goes. But a lot of people are wcarinE Gui fund rusting out at the same time and the dual process brings nn early end-

Recreation is as eesentialto the mental. physical and moral develoll-

kment of the human being as is food. drink and proper protection from the dsments. The life of the locomotive which seldom gets to the shop for

ilvverhauling and repairs is short, while the life of the locomotive which goes into the shops at the end of every run is almost indefinite. The human ma- lahlne is not different from any other machine. To secure its greatest effl- ‘ciency it has got to be well oiled, well handled and protected from undue

eslarily means an expensive trip. but rather a change of scene. or occuvil'

.tion, the inspiration of new thoughtsand putting aside of old thoughts and commonplace. everyday duties for something quite out of the monotonollil

Lptrains and neglect.

x Recreation comes from the word re-create-to make new. It doe! I\0¢

rroutine. Perhaps what this means cannot be better expressed than in the fol-

ilowing extract, a letter from one of our Vvestern farm wives: /I “At times during the summer we find leisure for a several days’ fishlns I \rip with friends, a very pleasant diversion during the season of hard work. iLast summer we spent a week with the children camping. Every few years my husband and I enjoy a trip for pure pleasure and sightseeing. This is

'usually of several weeks' duration. The children will have such opportuni- ties later in life. Just now occasional visits to some friends in the city, picnics. or a day or *fternoon off for fishing, are sufficient reasons for better I And more willing service."

I \ Make this womun's experience your own. You owe it to your health,

Mr. Farmer, you owe it to your wife, you owe it to your neighbors, to take some form of recreation and to see that ye ur wife participates in it.

.

It is commonly stated that people are rated by their bunk account onlY-

This is largely true, much to the detriment of society.

We wish to call your attention, especially the attention of young mer).

to the bank account and its significance.

Starts. bank account, even if you have but a few dollars to put in now

and then. The young farm hand has little expense and his earnings should be almost clear profit. The place for every dollar of surplus is in the bank. When it has accumulated in sufficient amount then buy land. But you Will never get file land unless you have first formed the habit of saving by put- ting money in the bank.

Banking has s peculiar influence upon a man. It creates a desire to see

his account grow. He at once begins to save money although his necessary expenses are the same as before he Opened the account.

With money in the pocket one is sure to spend it foolishly. unless he be

a miser by nature. With money in the bank the temptation is removed and the little foolish spending is almost stopped.

The wage earner’s money is not lost or spent in large sums. It sim-

ply slips away in little dribs that are unnoticed at the time. Stop the leak by opening s. bank account, and then see if you can't get up a rivalry with some other young man to' see who can show the most money in the bank in a year.

v When enough has been saved to make a safe investment in farm lands

then do that, but refrain from spending it for a horse and buggy. dressy traps and senseless habits. You will be a man in your own estimation and in the eyes of all who know you a great deal quicker by carrying a bank book than by having the best horse and buggy in the country.

: It is generally conceded that the farmers of this country are very con- servative nud clear thinkers. They have v.on the name because the ones who do the thinking are so conspicuousand because those who do not think stay in_ the background.

One would naturally suppose that the life of a farmer would develop

thinking, and it does in many cases, yet there are many who do not learn how to think clcally. They seem to go along in a rut, doing things as their fathers did before them. They will not read-and right here is the secret. .Reading stimulates thought. He is dull indeed‘who is a constant reader of good farm papers and is not a clear thinker.

You will find men who swallow everything they :ead until they have

mental dyspepsia and suffer financial loss. They become sworn enemies nf advanced agriculture, the press and the school. Instead. of their reading doing them good it has done them harm.

The calf should have all “first milk”

from its mother as n medicine nr for sake of digestion. Vvhether it sucks this or drinks it does not much matter. Some dairyinen think the calf learns the art of drinking best by beginning at nnce.

Give the calf whois milk for at least

ten days if not two weeks. Feed three times a day for that period and then twice, but increase the rluantity. In- troduce skim mlik gradually, a pint at a time, till the change is made, Stir a teaspoonful of flnxseed meal and oil- meai into each skim milk feed to take the place of the absent butter fat, The oil meal tends to prevent scours.
