sumachs of white frost m the morning warm sun at noon cumulus clouds drifting across a background of azure blue sky and finally the miraculously beautiful sunsets that are so frequent at this time of the year sunsets which do not always bring the end of a per feet day but yet if our day has been anything but perfect the breath taking beauty of an autumn sunset can do much to quieten ruf fled nerves if we will only take time even a few minutes of our time lo stand and stare come to think of it the words to stand and stare as the poet w h davis puts it have a harsh sound when tikei out of their context i like better the restful words of browning where the quiet colored end of evening smiles miles and miles lit wever a beautiful sunset is a joy to see no matter bow or by whom it is described the thing is to hove eyes to sec it because as we know beauty ts in he eye of the beholder or it may be that more mundane things get between our vision and the sunset the same ap pliesjto tbesunrisconljr- as some one once said poej3 rarely write about the sunrise because they are not iround to sec it but the farm er sees the sunrise as does his wife if she is out to feed the chickens the trouble is a great percentage of farm wives these days don t go out to feed the chickens they are busy in the house preparing breakfast and getting the children ready for milking machines and coolers have lessened the time required for early mornfng chores so many farm era have time to look after the chickens too and so mrs fanner misses the lift that used to come to her with the invigorating fresh morning air you know how it is if you have to go out you go and enjoy it but if it isn t necessary for you to go farther than the back kit chen door you just don t go and thats all

farm machinery and as partner and i looked it over we wondered how much capital would be necessary if a farmer were to invest m every type of high powered equipment that was on display and now con sldered practically essential to good farming the trouble is fashions in farm machinery vary just as much as women s hats for instance we bought a mower three years ago with the newest kind of power take off now that mower is out of date and so it goes however in the women s section we did not find too much change except for the fact there was more baking and less fancy work than usual men may like modern machinery but when it comes to satisfying the inner man they are still old fashion cd enough to like home cooking how else can one explain the trouble that women go to m cultl viting the

babies apparently still need knitted things and smocked dresses the only change that i noticed was the use of green or yel low instead of the traditional pink or blue which is rather a good idea when you think of the mothers to be who in the past have insisted on having everything blue and then found ft should have been pink with green or yellow you re safe because no one has yet labelled either
