'; i Unending work without an occasional recreation may be an effective way to make money but it is not the process which capacitates people for the enjoyment of life. Farmers who believe they can not afford to separate themselves for a brief period,,, once a year or of tener, from their labors have failed to appreciate the wholesome philosophy in the old adage: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." - I No man has greater need for recreation than the farmer, yet he is perhaps the most loyal slave to work that the list of industrial occupa-r tions affords. Justification of this fact can be imagined but it can scarcely be approved. Necessity may compel all men to work part of the time. Mortgages, crop failures and other forms of adversity are not sufficiently important to deprive any farmer of a period of re-building, reviving rest during that season each year when climatic conditions and the status of his farming work render it most convenient. Equal in every respect are his wife's right, if not duty, to free herself from household toil and enjoy the recuperation and revivification as well as renewal of interest in her lot which come from proper diversion. Fur thermore, the boys and girls and the hired farm, help should have the same privilege. .. -' v : ! Let it always be borne in" mind that a recreation or rest is not a loss of time or of money. It is on the other hand an added if in tangible asset, a form of capital which enables a man to put more of himself into his work with the logical result of ability to get more out of it. Downright selfishness even should recommend recreation to a .farmer.:- . -v iy. Many places offer advantages and inducements to rest-hunters. day s journey oy ran win reach a number of them. Trip would be a delightful novelty to hundreds of farm fniij lakes and rivers are nicely distributed for the accommodation of all intent upon this form of transportation and pleasure. Cool spots are abundant in the mountains, and both natural and artificial conditions at these places make it possible .for visitors to secure the full benefit of a recreation while at the same time enjoying beautiful surroundings America is an ideal country for vacationists, but agricultural Ameri cans are the most work-tied people in modern society. And this ought ought not to be. Breeders' Gazette. . The subject of next week's Health Talk is "The Place of the Young Wife and Mother on the Farm." METALLIC cartridges! Users of U. M. C.
