First he has had to trail through the wet pasture fields to fetch the mob home—on wet days they are always at the far end of the farm. Then Partner's mood is 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 their stalls—in what had previously been a clean stable but which, in- side of half an hour, is anything but. Then I come on the scene and Partner says, ""13 some of these people who buy milk could see the work and worry we often have in keeping it clean there viouldn't be so much grumbling about Lite price." "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 farmer is ihdependent—independent to a greater extent' than a man in any other. .calling. How much a man likes farming depends to a I, w much he values his independence.

For instance. a far. i mer may say during a spell of I inclement weather, "About all I get done these days is the chores." It sounds as if "chores" don't amount to anything How many people, other than farmers, realise that chores take up about six hours of the farmer's day?
