Dish Washing Is Not Drudgery When (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) There is no one thing that would make easier the farm woman's work than to have water power in the house. The nature of her duties demand: early rising and a tate the countless steps in carr and emptying water; carrying parings and vegetables and unused fruits to the pails for the pigs; rying many times a day fresh water for the fow1s; carrying, beating. emptying tubs for the bath, for the laundry, for the cook ing, canning, and preserving, could be lessened If her home had running wa- ter in it. Give her water and she can work out the rest of her problems. Her garden, her orchards, her fowls, her dairy, her lawn, fill up hours which city people do not need to use. She will have more time for reading and be less of a drudge if she can but have a perfected system of water- works. Several years ago the department of agriculture sent out an inquiry to thousands of farm women asking what their homes most needed. One of the letters in reply contained the quoted extract, and In It is voiced the thought found in hundreds of other letters. An adequate water supply is need- ed even more by the farm woman than by her city sister, but because this convenience and necessity must come in the country through individual effort rather than municipal, few farm homes have It. In a survey made in 1918 in 26 northern states it was found that but 33 per cent of the farm home: had running water in them. Lack of knowledge as to what water system to install rather than lack of means in many homes is the reason why the women doing the work in {ft are still pumping and carrying water. Kinds of Systems.
