Never  try  to  deceive  yourself  by  word  or  d«ed,  but  stand  out  firm  and
strong  for  the  right  and  in  a  short  time  the  farmers'  wives  will  become  one
united  band  for  good,  being  joined  as  one  grand  chain  the  links  will  reach
from  home  to  home,  and  no  life  any  longer  a  burden, — but  every  day  a  day
of  peace,  every  thing  you  see  or  do  is  all  done  in  the  sweet,  gentle  element  of
love  for  one  another.
We  believe  the  most  of  our  divorces  are  caused  by  the  lack  of  home-making.
If  food  badly  selected,  and  still  worse  prepared,  and  most  badly  served  cause
discontent  and  bad  temper  among  those  who  by  ties  of  blood  are  near  and
should  be  dear  to  one  another,  we  are  not  surprised  that  the  inmates  of  the
home  look  for  pleasure  and  seek  their  enjoyments  outside  the  cheerless,  un-
inviting, depressing  home,  which  the  wife  and  mother  has  utterly  failed  to
make  what  it  really  ought  to  be.
What  matters  if  the  future  wife  of  our  sons  of  today  fail  in  attempt  to  paint
a  beautiful  landscape,  or  in  her  attempt  to  sing  a  solo  to  perfection.  But
how  grave  a  matter  if  she  fail  to  make  and  keep  a  home  for  her  young  hus-
band— fail  when  expending  his  income  to  purchase  with  prudence  ana  judg-
ment— fail  to  prepare  for  him  a  wholesome  and  appetizing  meal — fail  to  train
their  dear  little  ones  with  proper  care  for  their  physical  and  moral  welfare.
