The rail fence by the orchard The apples in the trees, The fragrance of the blossoms And the humming of the bees. SinSuis aOMS os suojav At the break of dawn, Doves so swiftly winging, v Bluebirds on the lawn. The whistle of the bob white Cut through the morning air, The lark sent out his greetings Oh what a cheerful pair! A rooster on the rail fence Crowing to the sun, Hens stirring in the barnyard, And so the day begun. Lambs upon the hillside Playing hide-n-seek, A frisky colt a-jumping Beside it’s mama sleek. Cows out in the meadow Calves lay in the grass, The tinkle of the cow bell A shiny flash of brass! The gurgle of the water As he sat beside the brook, A thin limb for a fish line And a bent pin for a hook. The ride upon the horses As they pulled the loads of hay, The sweetness of the clover And the dust along the way. The bell upon the farm house Sent out its tidings glad, “Dinner’s ready, get your fill,”- To the hungry country lad. The coolness of the water After sweating all the day. It was really quite a pleasure To live a life that way. Corn shocks in the full moon What a pleasant sight, Oh what a thrill in hearing The whispers of the night. The calling of the hoot owl The fluttering of wing. Breathing in so freely The beauty of hfes things. ’Tis the sweetness of the freedom That he so surely had, That will always be remembered By the carefree country lad.

Long range planning assures wise spending if the plan is based on the family needs and income. More expensive articles need careful thought. A coat should be worn several seasons and should look good with all types'of cloth ing and colors. Use gift money to buy extras to complete or perk up garments you already have. Don’t buy sale clothing if it doesn’t fit or cannot be altered at home. The way clothes fit is so important if they are to look and wear well. Open your closet doors and take a good look at what is there. A closet full of clothes and few wearable garments is a bad sign. Look at each garment and decide which were worn the most and which ones never or seldom. If you answer these questions hon estly, you have the key to plan ning for a better and more use ful wardrobe. High style and fad clothing is not for the average family. It’s possible to keeep up to date or in style within a limited budget by careful planning. Be familiar with stores where you buy to know, the quality of merchandise they handle and the sale reductions offered.

Lancaster Fanning, Friday, March 8, 1957 For the Farm Wife and Family expect quality beyond what she’s willing to pay for. A low-cost dress will not have the same qual ity fabric, construction, and style features as a more expensive gar ment. First, read the label about the care of the fabric and garment. Care for the trimming the recom mended way, too. Next, look at the construction. The seams should be well made with a good finished allowance. The hem should be wide enough so that the dress may be lengthen ed if necessary. Stitching at the neckline, pock ets, and buttonholes, should be fine and strong with the correct shade of thread. If the dress con struction meets your require ments, try the dress on to check the fit at the bust, waistline, and hips. Look at the dress from all angles, and it’s a good idea to sit down in the dress to see if it’s comfortable. Don’t overlook the belt. It, too, should be well made and stamped either washable or dry cleanable. Shop around and become fami liar with the stores where you buy. Determine what you can find for a certain sum of money. Clothing prices go up and down the same as other items. This reader says it is very handy to roll out dough and put in pie plates.
