BRICKELL. When | was a bride, with more dreams and hopes than could befall a person outside of a fairy tale, I read a perfectly written, soulless article, which told how farm women could make rural houses into homes. It dealt carefully with every modern conven- ience that was known to lighten wo- men's labors: influence is a good one. The years have come and gone, and I have added as many of these conven- fences as we have had profitable years --about two out of eight, I believe. But have I given up my idea of a "homey" home while there. because I do not have all the that writer would have me be- lieve absolutely necessary? Indeed, no! I will try all the harder, in spite of the handicaps. I am helping to establish a real liome, and I have de- cided that a house can be a home, though it lack many things, if there is 'an ever-present, home-making spirit. n' Edgar Guest, in a recent article says # | that' "It takes a heap o'living to make house a home." Yes, if it is the right of living. It need not be "joyful, but there must be the spirit love, 'patience and sympathy. 4 A REAL PARTNERSHIP. a The woman on the farm has a chance to lead in the most wonderful family companionship there is.

While the cost of dipping need not exceed three cents per head, from fifty cents to a dollar and a half may easily be saved. September and Oc- tober are the best months for fall dip- ping. If the weather be cold, the flock should be housed for a day or two, to give the fleece a chance to dry out. Mr. MacMillan advises community dipping. where possible, as thereby both cost and labor are lessened.

Not only is sore but it is came calling, the distance was great enough to necessitate their staying overnight or over the mid-day meal hour. Their horses, too, required a rest period before the return trip. The automobile has changed things in this respect, making shorter visits more convenient and also making it pas- sible for mere business visitors to re- turn to hotels in the surrounding towns for their meals. Then there is another reason for the dropping off of the old-fashioned hos- pitality, People of to-day do things with so much elaboration that it really makes a burden of what should be a pleasure. Help is very scarce, even for mothers who have grown daugh- 'ters, for many of the daughters leave home to find occupation in the larger towns or cities, The mother, left alone, feels she can not do the entertaining she would like to do, and in the way she would like to do it. As a business asset, however, the "open house" was one of the greatest i helps ever instituted. Business friends iwere warmly welcomed, the women | folks entertained in a simple way, and fjpoth hosts and visitors enjoy#d the warm friendships and more cordial | business relations that were created | by this informal hospitality. Many times a buyer who comes with the intention of buying one registered animal may, when he leaves, take sev- eral away with him. Why? For the reason that through the courteous welcome and open hospitality offered him by the farmer and his family, he has been enabled to take all the time he wants in looking over the herds. Overnight or over a meal he has had ample opportunity to think over the propositions that have been made him and because he has been treated gener- ously and honestly as a guest he feels sure he is getting the same kind of a business deal. Women's clubs often discuss the question, "How ean I help my husband in a business way?" This is one of the biggest ways in which women can help. If we stop trying to do things | a8 our city friends do them and make {our husband's business friends feel that they are truly welcome to share our simple but homelike preparations, we have done a great deal toward making his business transactions a success and supplying him with steady customers, pi Early Pullets Best Layers. The stock of poultry kept at the Lennoxville, Que., Experimental Sta- tion consists entirely of Barred Ply- mouth Rocks. Among the several ex- periments carried on as regards breed- ing, feeding, improvement in egg lay- ing, ete. is one relating to the laying of early versus late hatched pullets. This test was started in 1919 and has been carried on every winter since, as a means of demonstrating the neces- sity of having pullets well matured be- fore the cold weather sets in. Com- parative tables of the results obtained are given in the report of the Super- intendent of the Station (Mr. J. A. McClary) for 1928. These show that the average profit per bird over the cost of feed for the four winter months of four years from early hatched pullets (hatched during the first two weeks of April) was $2.37 and from the late hatched pullets (hatched during the first two weeks of May) $1.48. In almost each month more feed was required by the late hatched pullets than by the early. It is apparent from this experiment that pullets must be hatched early enough to become matured before cold weather gets in if the most profitable produc- tion is to be expected during the win- ter months, when eggs obtain the highest price. Our Own Painters. Our farm being twelve miles out in the country by the shortest road, it was very difficult to get a painter to come out and paint our house and barns. The work had to be done, and we decided to do it ourselves. We got a good brand of prepared paint, some brushes, putty and putty-knife, and a good extension ladder, and went at it. We found that the paint needed a little thinning and bought several gallons of linseed-oil and turpentine for that purpose. By starting right after harvesting, and working at it when other things did not crowd, we got it all done be- hree| fore cold weather set in. The. build- ings look real good, with their two coats of red and white, and we saved more than $100 by acting as our own Pe Painting is not hard work.
