Glad of the rain to till up our cistern—after having cleaned it out—but hoping it won't rain any more for a while because our neighbors still have grain in the stook waiting to be threshed. This is tate first year we havcn't had any crop at all and it scents so strange not to be worrying about threshing or combining, or plough- ing for wheat.

First he has had to trail through the wet pasture fields to fetch the colds 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. Alt last they are tied up in their stalls—in what Karl 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, "If some of these people who buy milk could see the work and t1 orry we often have in keeping it clean there wouldn't be so "•melt grumbling about the price." "Well." some people may ask, "if you are dissatisfied. why go on farming?" Well. why dowe? It is a question we often ask ourselves— beeaese we sre tempted to wonder sometimes! Perhaps the chief reason, as with a good many other farm fo lc, is bceau.e farming supplies a funda- mental need i11 our flat tire. 't he farmer is independent—independent to a greater extent than a man itl any other calling. How much, a man likes farming depends to a great extent upon glow much he values his independence. The farm- er is his own boss. Ile is a success or a failure according to hie own skill. ability and ingenuity—that is. except in a depression period, which acts like a quagmire sucking hint down hole ever hard he struggles to save himself. "l'lle farther doesn't have to punch a time -clock --although he generally works longer hours than those who do. He snakes his own time and ar- rauges his work according to the weather or the demands of. the season., He doesna have to pay un- ion dues or go on strike ..because someone higher up dentals, it. There are very few restrictions to regard to his work. He ca)f'•grow what he likes—and. as much or as little as he likes..There is just one hitch—lie has little to say in what he shall he paid for his, produce, although he must conform to gov- ernment requirements in regard to the quality of whatever he has to sell. \nd yet, ironical as it may seem, it is often the farmer's own satis- faction in his work that causes mis- understanding. For instance, a far- mer may say during a spell of inclement weather, ".about all I get done these days Is the chores." it sounds as • if "chores" don't amount to anything. 1-1 ow many people. other than farmers, realize that chores take up about six 'hours; of the farmer's day? What he does before and after chores is "work." \s if chores were not work! I t is a misrepresentation that has coma down to us from the day when ",'bores" were done 1 v the women a and children of the family—when there might be no more than four or five cows to "silk and a dozen or sit of mongrel hens to feed, This help left L)ad free to "work," The word "chores" is a colloquial expression indicating "odd jobs." Its; meaning in that sense is as out of -date as a stump fence. What a farmer does at the baro night and Morning is "work" with a capital "W" -and often is the means by which he makes most of his income. If he speaks of this work as chores he belittles his occupation and should not blame his city cousin if he gets the idea that there is little work connected with the far- mer's daily chores. When a person under -rates his work or his calling too often it is accepted at his own valuation, (Bones Of Columbus—Next month the Dominican Republic will celebrate the 75th anniversary cf the discovery of this leaden casket containing the remains of Christopher Columbus.
