THE DEACON'S WIFE.
THE DEACON'S WIFE.
How Mrs. Bradley Helped to Er.c
Her Drudgery.
Mrs. Brac.ley had come tip to Berk
shire her husband and uaov ptbert
• wj »n*;na tne annual convocation o:
their chnrch. While she restc *. ia hei
room after the morning session shi
heard a conversation which intereste*
her, between two men on the Terandj
just nnder her window.
Through the half-open blinds sin
recognized ono of them as Deacoi
Bates, a sturdy farmer delegate wht
had shown much good sense in the few
words he had spoken in the businesi
meeting.
"Whether farming can be made to pa}
or not a good deal upon t!.<
' sort of u wife a man has," Deacot
Bates was saying, and this v.-as the sen
tence which arrested Mrs. Bradley'i
attention.
"If he has to run the farm and th«
house too and depend upon hired helj
he can't lay up anything. One of mj
! neighbors is in that fix; his wife don';
' know how to work herself; she trust;
everything to help and she spends he:
time gadding about. Things go at size<
and sevens; their butter and poultrj
are the poorest in the market. I an
| sorry for him. I believe I've got thi
j best wife in the country, myself," h<
went on, tipping back his chair agains'
the house and clasping his hands ovei
the back of his head; "she beats every
thing there is going for work, i-ht
'tends to everything herself; is up a
daylight and sometimes before, an«
her butter is tip-top; we get the bigpesy
I prices jroing. She's a splendid cook
too. I never need go away from home
to get good victuals, now I tell you
Well, the fact is she is as smart as <
steel trap at anything she takes hole
of. She makes all her own clothes anc
most of mine and boards the farm
hands and once in awhile takes somi
| city boarders. I never would 'a' beer
| so forehanded if it hadn't 'a' been fci
| her. And she's always at home sum
; mer and winter; I don't b'lieve she'i
been off the place only to go to churci
these twenty years."
"Poor drudge!" Mrs. Bradley ex
! claimed to herself as the dinner bell
: put an end to the conversation.
It so happened that in the course ol
that summer Mr. and Mrs. Bradley,
wishing to find comfortable quarter*
for a few weeks in the coantry, neai ,
enough to the city so that Mr. Bradlej ;
could go in and out conveniently, wer«
directed to Berkshire and to the houst
of Deacon Bates.
It was not until she was seated at i
the tea table in the cool dining room of
the Bates family one July evening
that Mrs. Bradley identified the deacon
as the man with an extraordinary wife.
Mrs. Bates did not look in the leasl
like the busy, bustling worker Mr.
Bates had pictured. She was a small,
pale woman with gray hair and wist
ful brown eyes. Iler low-spoken
words were few, and her manner
thetic, as if life had lost its flavor if il
ever had any.
During the next few weeks Mrs
Bradley had opportunity to prove thai
Deacon Bates had spoken truly of hit
wife. Her house was a model of neat
ness, her "victuals" were truly deli
cious, and each day she turned o ft an
amount of work, assisted only by on»
other pair of hands, which was trulj
incredible. "A working machine,'
Mrs. Bradley thought as sho watchec
the treadmill round of skimming milk
churning, baking, drc. .ing poultry
washing, ironing, cooking and wash
ing dishes, beginning at sunrise and
not by any means concluded at sunset
Somrtliucs lu tho twilljrht tho tlre<
woman rested a few minutes, thex
Mrs. Bradley, pitying the narrow lifa
would try to awaken her interest it
an article in the newspapers, or a bi<
from an amusin? bootc, but the wearj
listener usually nodded in the midsi
of it.
One evening after tea, as Mrs. Brad
ley wandered about the place, she
came upon Mrs. Bates, who was oul
under the apple tree engaged in pick
ing chickens.
"You are at it early and late, aren'l
you?" Mrs. Bradley said, as she watched
the swift fingers travel over the plum;
chicken. "I heard that you were per
fectly remarkable, but I had not ima
gined that one so persistently indus
trious existed."
"Yon heard that of me?" Mrs. Batei
exclaimed, with more interest than she
had ever before displayed. "How could
you?"
"It was when the convention was
held at Berkshire. I happened to over
hear your husband sounding your
praises."
Mrs. Bradley hoped tffat at last she
j had found a key to open this closed
heart, as a gleam of surprise flashed
for an instant on tho worn face of the
farmer's wife, so she exerted all her
powers of pleasing; she praised the
flower garden, remarked on tho fine
chicken, and admired the luxuriant
vine which clambered over the wood
house, but Mrs. Bates seemed absents
minded and less inclined to talk than
usual. There was silence for a minute,
while she worked as if her lifu depend
ed upon getting done at a certain mo
ment. Mrs. Bradley was just thinking
how useless it was to try to get any
thing out of such a wooden woman,
when suddenly Mrs. Bates, without
lifting lier eyes from her work, jerked
out a question:
"Mrs. Bradley, 1 should like to know
—would you mind telling me—what
it was Daniel said that day up to Berk
shire?"
"Who? Mr. Bates? Oh, ho said he
had the best wife in the whole coun
try."
And then, searching her memory,
Mrs. Bradley gave a faithful report ol
what she had heard.
It was curious to note the effect ol
her words in the light which came intc
the sad eyes, and tho faint- (lush which
stole over the faded checks
"Did Daniel say that?" »
"Yes, ho did, and 1 quite agree with
him," and then remarked to herself:
"I'oor creature, she has a heart aftei
»U."
It was an hour later, when Mrs.
Bradley sat alone on the front piazza,
that Deacon Bates, his chores all done,
came and sat on the upper step. lie
was a man ofi much shrewd Intel
ligence, who read his weekly religious
paper from end to end. and liked occa
sionally to discuss au article or a doc
trine with a bright woman like Mrs.
Bradley.
His wife was still busy in the kitchen,
as the rattling of milk pans occasionally
testified Mrs. Bradley's thoughts fol
lowed the tired worker; her kind heart
longed to make the weary life of this
woman different. If only somebody
would speak a few plain words to her
hnsband, she reflected, and pet his eyes
opened.
"Why not do that yourself?" said lier
inner voice. She shrank from that,
' though, telling her conscience thai per
haps she would sometime if she got a
good opportunity.
The deaeon, taking off his hat, ran
[ his fingers meditatively through his
gray locks, and opened up on an article
he had read that afternoon on the com
parative merits of a trade or profession
■ compared with farming.
"In my opinion," he declared, after
descanting at some length upon the
: subject, "the farmer has the best of it
; every time; it's a healthy, independent
sort of life, and he doesn't liavo to work
like a slave the year round. In the
wint' r lie can get time to tinker at odd
jobs and do a sight of reading besides
11 if bo's so disposed "
men Mrs. Bradley could aot resist
saying:
"And the farmers' wives? They, too,
have a good rest in the winter—fairly
idle, aren't they?"
"Oh. no, there's plenty work, but
it isn't hard. In the fall. «»'ter the ber
ries are put u®, ccmey-ffc- Wof
app.es ana pumpkin's.' .Then tb«*W
sausages to make and lwa uuj-soUrrw
to try out. When all that's done there's
a lot of sewing and knitting and carpet
rags. My wife makes her own earpets,
and my clothes and the boys', all but
our Sunday coats. Then it takes a lot
of cooking to keep three or four
healthy appetites going, and we don't
have any help in winter."
His listener could scarcely keep in
dignation from her tones as she replied:
"Is it possible that all this is added
ts tLv' •• rl: c" the summer? Ido not
wonder that according to statistics a
large proportion of the women confined
in lunatic asylums are farmers' wives.
It is a dreary life, making a woman
Into a perfect drudge."
"Well, I don't know," the farmer an
swered, musingly, "we must earn our
bread by the sweat of our brows. The
Bible says that work's good for us. 1
guess it is, and a wise provision ol
Providence. I don't know's it's any
worse for women than it is for men."
"But it seems to me that the lot ol
the farmer's wife is less desirable than
that of her husband. According to
your own account she has less leisure,
and fchen he seems to have more variety
in his work, and it is relieved by small
pleasures. In summer *.is work is
mostly out of doors; then he jumps into
his wagon and is off to town two or
three times a week on errands; and his
neighboroften happens along and leans
on the fence and talks. At noon he
takes a nap in his chair or reads his
paper a few minute®; but according to
my observation a farmer's wife is a
drudge. She seems to have no time for
these little rest places, and the conse
quence is, all is dreary and monotonous.
It is no wonder she loses her mind and
has paralysis, for her work is never
done."
Deacon Bates sat silent a minute
while he thoughtfully stroked the gray
6tubble on his chin; then he said, slow
ly: "I d'n know, may be it's so. I never
thought about it in just that way."
Mrs. Bates came around the corner of
the house just then and took down
some clothes from the line in the side
yard. Iler husband watched her me
chanically as she folded and placed
them in the basket
"Your wife is a marvel tome, accom
plishing all sl»e does," Mrs. Bradley
said as she watched her; "but she looks
worn; she will break some day sudden
ly, I fear. It would make a wonderful
difference in this house to have her
busy hands and feet still forever,
wculdn't it?"'
The deacon turned and looked at
Mrs. Bradley half wildly, as if such a
thing had never before crossed his
mind. Then he got up, strode over to
the line just as his wife was about to
lift tho heavy basket of clothes, and
taking it from her carried it into the
house. She followed, amazed.
Not since tho first years of her mar
ried life had "DanT' offered to do any
of her work. What had come over
him?
When Deacon Bates had anything
special on his mind he was wont to be
ta' -• himself to the orchard. He went
tL t -re now and sat down on a low
gnarled limb, and, leaning las head
i gainst a tree, tried to think over the
tormenting words Mrs. Bradley had
just spoken. They nettled him. He
told himself she ought to mind her own
business. But after all he had himself
to blame. By his own confession his
wife was a hard-worWed woman. It
was too liuuilllatlngl He had prided
himself upon being kind to animals and
considerate toward help. Was it pos
sible he hail been cruel to Ills own wife?
It must look so, or a good woman like
Mrs. Bradley would not have spoken as
she did.
The deacon was a good man. He was
not going to spare himself now that his
eyes were getting wide open. He went
back over the years when they first
came to this farm, when "Cynthy" was
young and bright She used to talk and
laugli ".hen. What had changed her
luto the silent woman sho now was?
"If hei busy hands and feet should be
still foreverl" What awful wordsl Ho
had no more calculated on any change
of that kind than that tho old eight
day clock which had ticked on for forty
years should suddenly leave its place.
And then, that dreadful thought about
farmers' wires becoming insane. He
had road enough to know that melan
choly is ono species of Insanity. What
if tlmt state should be slowly coming
upon his wife, for certainly she
grew more silent and sad year by year.
It must be that sho did work too hard,
for when he came to reckon it up and
tell over to Mra. Bradley all the work
she diil summer apd winter, it was more
than he had supposed. How could she
get any time for reading or going out?
And now that lictboughtof itshe never
went anywhere, except to church, and
not always there, because often she
was too tired. How different it used to
be I Once she frequently went to town
with him and they occasionally took
tea with a neighbor or drove in to the
sewing society. But of late years
work hud been so pressing that there
had been no time for going or inviting
company. He had just gone on buying
more land and more cows and employ
ing more men, so adding to her labor,
while sho had but tho one helper sho
used to have when the farm was small.
And as if this was not enough he had
encouraged her to goon taking summer
boarders occasionally, as she had her
self suggested long ago, one year when
the crops had failed. And he pretend
ing to think sho did It all because she
loved work so much. That was all stuff 1
He had seen her stand in the dooi
and look after him, when he rode
off to town on a pleasant afternoon,
and bo bad heard something like a eigb
just us lio started. The dear, patient
woman had not complained or said
sharp words; be wished she had, then
may bo her plg-beadcd hnsband might
have seen things as they were. The
truth was, tho lovo of money had taken
possession of him, and he had sacrificed
everything. Ho had not even hinted to
his wife that she must spare herself,
and ho had forgotten to speak words
of praise. He hated himselfl For, al
though he had been mean and selfish
and grasping, he still loved the wife of
his youth. What would all the money
and land he hail scraped together be to
him when ho had laid her in the old
burying ground? Tho sturdy farmer,
as ho sat there thinking these sharp
truths in tho gathering shadows,
realized for a moment tho desolation ol
going on without her. He bowed his
head and prayed with all his soul that
lie might be forgiven, ami that ho and
his wife might go together hand in
hand down tho hill to the gate that
leads out of life to life eternal.
The darkness had settled down when
Deneon Bates got np and went into the
house He had gone over everything,
had reconstructed affairs on a uew
basis and made several plans. He
would have no difficulty in carrying
them out, for his word had ever been
law in his own house. If lie suggested
anything it must surely be done, and
this not on account of tyranny, but be
cause of the old-fashioned revcenco
for her husband as head of tho family,
which Mrs. Bates had always main
tained nnd instilled into the minds of
her children. "Father knows best"
was her unvarying decision.
It was not like Deacon Bates to say
much about his good resolutions, but
to proceed t«j put_ them in practice a£
rapidly as possible There was no
light in the sitting-room nrhen he en
tered but that of the tuoon
streamed in at the long window. He
thought the room was empty till he
caught sight of his wife asleep in her
chair. Her mild, pale face upturned
n the whit* light sent a psng through
n - u i 1 nf the self-convicted man.
j_L» RMt tTTuj 1«-» Tl£P . '..j/I-fl. oia
hand on her bead s»ld.
"Come, mother, you better not wait
up for the boys. I'd go right to bed if
I were you." He continued to smooth
her hair as he said it, and Mrs. Bates
presently sat up straight and wonder
ing. It was long since her husband
had lost the habit of bestowing little
endearments; he used often to do this
very thing in the old days.
"Was Daniel going to die?"
The next morning, soon after break
fast, Mr. Bates went away in his spring
wagon, returning in the space of two
hours with the strong capable girl who
assisted them on extra oceasions, an
nouncing, to the surprise of his wife,
that Sophia Mills had come to stay till
the ' heft of the summer's work" was
over, "and mind you keep her busy,"
he told the astonished woman, "and
you get some time to rest."
In the afternoon Mr. Bates drove to
town, and, as Mrs. Bradley had the
day before said she wished to match
some worsteds, he took her along, tak
ing occasion to say as they were well
on their way:
' I'm much obliged to yoo, Mrs. Brad
ley, for giving me a hint about my wife
last night I've been blind and dumb
as an old bat 'Nough said. Things 'll
be different Now I want to ask
another favor. I wish you'd pick out
a dress for my wife—a nice one, that'U
do for best I'm going to take her out
west to see her sister when the crops
are all in. She don't know a word
about it yet"
Mrs. Bradley was delighted; she
would be glad to help. What would
he like?
"Oh, you must 6eMle that something
sort of ladylike; black, I guess; and get
some of that soft white stuff, such as
you wear, to go round hor neck, and
some ribbon and all the trimmin's."
A more dazed woman than Mrs.
Bates could not be found, when her
husband that night after every one
else had gone to bed. presented her

It is well for farmers and others who
raise poultry to provide, not Ae m-iat
costly, but the best-piannod buiii:i:ijf
for the flock that is kept. I also would
a«ivise having separate building* and
runs for separate breeds. True there
is more work attached to such a plan,
but its advantages, I think, overcome
the obstacles brought up again it It
The different flocks are more isolated
from each other, and there is leas dan
ger of an epidemic of disease.
It is not necessary to ma.f buildings
J large nor put much money into tbem I
know a breeder of Blaek Spanish fowls
who tells me that in thirty years he

| has not spent 9200 on his buildings, aod
he has the*reputation of having the i
purest stock in this country. His an
| nual sales run well into huudreds of
| dollars annually. Therefore do not
understand me as advocating fine build
ings unless you are able to erect them,
for the money is better expended in the
choicest stock you .can obtain, every i
time.
I have shown in Fig t a practical
building with yard attached. The
building is a plain one. It is 'io feet in
length. % feet in width, 10 feet high in
front (south), 6 feet high in back
(north), with shingle roof. Walls are
inch oak boards nailed to perpendicu
lars, with the cracks battened. The
floor is double and tight. It is two
feet from the ground, giving space un
der the same for the flock in excessively
hot weather or even in rainy, damp
days. It makes the building and floor
very dry, and this means good health

to the flock It also prevents rats and
other rodents from a secluded shelter
from cat or dog.
The floors should be always covered
several inches deep with sand; it will
answer also for dusting purposes. It
is a deodoriaer; the droppings are easi
ly concealed or covered up and ab
sorbed by the sand about them. The
plan of the windows is a good one. be
ing lower down and in a row The sun
in winter is low an.l the windows are
just the right height to admit tho rays,
striking direct on the floor. The flock
gets the benefit In summer the sun i*
nearty directly overhead and the rays
do not have so much effect inside, con
sequently it is not so hot in the build
ing.
An open shed on the front can be
added, about 5 feet In width, being
very useful in bad weather, and in

than <me that is higher.
The small window in each end of the
building and the transom over the
door furnish all the ventilation neces
sary. In winter, with doors and win
dows all closed, tbe shingle roof is all
that is necessary for a ventilator. The
buildiug is large enough for 'ir> fowls

Is TOC house overcrowded? Thii

ammonia of tho droppings bleaches the

A BTERt, trap properly set will eat eh
the 'possum.that kills tbe chickens. Set
it Inside the house in front of the open
ing where the varmint enters, protect
ing It from the fowls by boards or a
wire screen.
Ir there are no outer sheds with a
sunny exposure for tbe flock to fre
quent they had better be confined U.

ing in a winter wind do not promote
health nor induce laying.
