reflected in the behaviour of the
cows. They get contrary, run in
and out of the barnyard instead of
into the stable, and with every step
get a little more plastered with
mud. At last they are tied up in

"Well," some people may ask,
"if you are dissatisfied, why go on
farming" Well, why do we? It is
a question we often ask ourselves—
because we are tempted to wonder
sometimes!
Perhaps the chief reason, as with
a good many other fano foik, is
becaese farming supplies a funda-
mental need in our nature. • The
