There are no convenient laundries, bakeries or stores where she could buy the ready made articles she is compelled to mak- herself. It is unceasing work -i ner from early sunrise to long after the hours have grown small at night. She lights the fires for breakfast. Nowhere is a man so completely lord and master as on the farm.

His mother was a farmer's wife and lighted the his wife shall do the same. While the kettle is boiling she does the milking and cases are not rare where a farmer's wife milks as many as eight or ten cows twice a day. The milk is carried into the cellar in great heavy pails that would try Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one's self.

In harvest time she will have as many as fourteen to cook for and does it all alone.

It is seldom that a farmer feels that he can afford to hire help in the kitchen. She has the vegetable garden to see to. To brighten the dreariness of her life Bhe has close to the seldom opened front door a bed of half starved looking flowers old fashitned coxcomb, four-o'clocks, grass pinks and a few other cheerful looking plants that will thrive under neglect. She makes everything that her family wears exeept hats and shoes. She has no time to think of rest or self.

It is in most cases her lot to welcome a new baby every other year, and the only time when help is employed to assist her is for a period of two or three weeks when the little stranger arrives. The births of the babies are about all that vary the monotony of her life. Occasionally death calls and takes from her tired arms a little life and leaves in its place an added pain in her heart. She is old and tired out at thirty. When her daughters reach the age at which they could assist her the dreary prospect of a frontier life appalls them, and they seek employment in town.

Nothing in her house is of late improvement. Her washboard is of the kind her mother used, and her churn in its heavy, clumsy build shows that it belongs to the same date. Improvement stalks all over the farm and leaves no trace in the kitchen. Her pleasures are few. The satisfaction that she is doing her best seems to be all that rewards her.

She is a heroine in a calico dress, wrinkled and stoop shouldered a woman with a burden, who never complains. Late at night, when all the members of the family are In bed, a light will shine out across the prairie from the family living room. It is by this light the farmer's wife is doing her mending and sewing, and it will shine out long after the occasional travel that way has stopped, and no one but the one that blows it out knows at what hour the patient burden bearer's labors cease.
