The Farmer's Wife was an American magazine published from 1893-1939. At the height of its popularity, the magazine had a million subscribers.
Long before technology connected us all for better or worse, The Farmer's Wife helped hard-working rural women by giving advice on everything from raising chickens to slaughtering hogs, keeping house and running the kitchen. The cover illustrations set a high bar for adorable children, not to mention, looking glamorous and fresh (instead of careworn and cranky) when the farmer comes in from the barn.
