WOMEN ON THE FARM.
The Department of Agriculture is hours before
: bulletins th:t acute indigestion and heart troub-
‘ received from le brought chout the sudden demise.
publishing a series of
summarizing replies
farmers, wives in response to an
« official inquiry as to what the Gov-
erment could do to improve their lot.
Some 55,000 letters were sent out,
but only three or four thousand re-
plies were received.
The Pittsburg Dispatch says: The
latest bulletin reprints piteous com-
plaints from the wives and daughters
of farmers in various sections of the
country, the burden of them being
that the farmer never thinks of spar-
ing the women of the household, that
the farm is run for the benefit of the
farm and not of the family, that while
gets new and improved machinery
for farming, the women have to get
along with the most primitive accom-
modations, no running water, no
cooking or housekeeping convenien-
ces whatever. She has to take thou-
sands of unnecessary steps that a lit-
tle consideration in furnishing ° ele- | “Blind Mary,” and two brothers, Jno.
mentary conveniences in the home |J. Livengood and Peter J. Livengood,
would save. From this modest state-| of Salisbury, also survive. ¢
ment of conditions the complaints
range all the way to that of a New
Hampshire woman who says farm
life for women rivals the condition of |
If woman’s work |
serfdom in Russia.
is never done it is particularly true
of the farmer's and family. A
Michigan woman says the farmer's
excelling trait is to get out of his
wife nd family the living other men |
go out and get for the family.
Probably true as these statements
of individual experiences may be
it would, of course, be a mistake to |
assume that they are in any apprecia- |
ble measure true of the farmer’s wife
and family generally. That would be
an atrocious libel upon one of the lar-
gest classes of men in the country
and one that in respect for treatment
‘of women, equals any other. Atten-|
tion is being centered on the two or!
three thousand replies received out:
of the 55,000 interrogatories sent out!
by the department at Washington. It
.is safe to assume that the women who
‘answered that inquiry were those
wife
with grievances. Those who were get- |
ting along had, as a rule, no inclina-
tion to write an answer. The more
than 50,000 who did not reply should
not therefore be overlooked. In the
same proportion throughout the
country the farmers’ wives and fam-
ilies would appear to be no more mis-
.mated or oppressed than any others.
IMPROVEMENTS AT
: STOYESTOWN
Hxtensive business improvements
are in progress in Stoyestown at the
present time and others are coniem-
plated for the near future. The prop-
erty and business of The Stoyestown
