Dodd, Helen C. Healthful farmhouse, by a farmer’s wife; with an introd. by Ellen H. Richards. *60c. Whitcomb & B.
6–45718.
A book written for the average farmer’s wife from the point of view of one who does all her own cooking, dishwashing, sweeping, and laundry work, yet runs a lawn mower and cares for the flower beds about the house, and does much work in the vegetable garden. It proves that art may be combined with the ideas of utility and sanitation.
