twelve acres of alfalfa for hay or

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. One might think
there is nothing left to do around

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

"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.

acts like a quagmire sucking hint

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

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,
