-An observant drt:muler says he
can readily tell who is the boss on the
farms he passes, the farrier or his wife.
If a farm has a large barn and a small
house, the man is boss; but when there
is a fine house and a dilapidated barn
you may know that the woman has ber
own way. Where there is anew house
and a good barn, it may be taken for
granted the man and woman are about
equal in authority.
