Happy Rural Life.
To the Oklahuoid Farm Journal.
The president is to be compli-
mented for the interest he has
taken in appointing a farm life
commission to devise wsys to
make farm hie more pleasant.
Farm lif£ can be made more
pleasant today than it could a
few decades ago. The telephone
is found today in the home of
every progressive farmer. It is
a source of enjoyment to every
member of the family and it
psys for itself every year in keep*
ing the farmer informed on the
prices of produce of all kinds.
It saves many a trip to town in
case of sickness. The rural mail
delivery is another source of en-
joyment. The farmer can have
his daily paper and can send his
letters daily without the inconve-
nience of going to town. A good
phonograph, with a few well
chosen records, is indispensible.
No home is complete without
music of some kind. Organa are
so cheap that they are within the
, reach of nearly every farmer.
Every farm girl should be a mu-
sician, Farm life cau be made
more pleasant by using system.
Eacn member of the household
should have certain work to do
and be required to do that work
at all times except in case of
sickness.
We rhou’.d honor the Sabbata
day on the farm and do no un-
necessary work on that day.
Don't ask the hired man and the
cook to help you push tbe ox into
the pit on the Sabbath day. They
might quit and you will have to
pull the ox out by yourself.
There is a little necessary work
that must be done on 6unday
the hired bands should be re-
quired to do a reasonable part
of it.
Some farmers try to do too
much work with what hands and
implements they have. There is
no enjoyment in working every
member of the family for sixteen
hours a day and working the
horses their full capacity all the
time. Thors is no enjoyment in
trying to farm a section of land
with a few worn cut horses and
poor implements and insufficient
feed for teams.
Life is too short and time is
too valuable to be always repair*
mg old machinery or wailing on
old woru out horses.
How pleasant it is to sit around
the fireside in cold, sleety
weather and knew that your
horses, hogs and cattle are in
shelter and out of the storm. I
have seen horses and cattle seek-
ing shelter along a wire fence
during a hail storm; I have seen
bogs enclosed in small pens and
wading in mud six or eight
inches deep with no dry plaoe to
sleep. Can a farmer be happy
and see bis dumb creatures suf-
fer? If those animals could talk
that man would not rest day or
night until they were provided
for. If all farmers try to live at
peace with God and their neigh*
bors and treat their stock with
kindness they can certainly live
a happy life. —Bertram, Kiowa
