The telephone might justly be class- ed 'ith the time and. labor-sum: machinery of the farm. Before its in- troduction, practically all farm work that involved the cooperation of neighbors called for extra work in the way of notifying.

The “friend on the wall," as one woman styled her telephone, runs errands better than a boy and far cheaper than a hired man. It would be hard to estimate the time really saved by the farmer by this means. A fairly good idea. however. of ‘he time-saving value of the telephone may be gained from the farming com- munity that has once been awakened to its usefulness, never goes back to the unsatisfactory and time-losing backwoods method. Then, too, there is the added fea- ture of the? farmer being able to dis- cuss in person all matters relative to his work.
