_2 Agricultural * \ Department t a i] How the Farmers Wife ( May Make Money. s TUe l'r< jrrossiTe Farmer. v There are various ways oi c making money bv our women c folks; some take in sewing, some i take ! boirder or two, some canvass, ami in my neighborhood a some grade tobacco and prepare o it tor market. 1 I make my money ditlerontlv i from an/ of these as I get. it v fr(?m cows and chickens. We. til rai-e eluokeus, and all we i tarmer loiks ought to keep a cow. T*> ha*e milk and butter all the|{ time it is absolutely necessary to keep two cowg.
