NEATHNESS ON THE FRAM.
Just because we are farmers, and our wives are farmers' wives, and because our homes are on the farm, it is no reason why we should permit the premises to run down, until they look as though a cyclone had struck them. A nice flower garden should occupy the front, and fruit and vegetables the back. The fences and buildings, if not as fine as those of some city premises, should at least be neat. The plea for neatness and homelike surroundings cannot be made too strong for some localities. The idea is too prevalent that the farmer has no time to keep his premises neat. The impression is that he goes out into the fields early and stays until late, and when he can possibly get any time at all he has to go to town.
