THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

Mpre care in the selection of foods for the winter was the keynote of an address, “Balance the Human Ration,” delivered by Miss Alma Garvin of Purdue at a meeting of the West Carpenter Farmers’ club last week. “The ideal meal should contain one and only one of the following dishes: A meat or meat substitute, such as eggs, peas, beans or cheese; a starchy dish, as potatoes, rice or macaroni; a succulent dish, as cabbage, carrots, onions or stewed fruit, and a simple dessert. Food should be plentiful and well prepared, but there is no need of a great variety at one meal.” Methods of preparing new dishes and old ones in new forms were discussed. ?. The officers of the club were instructed to develop plans for a stock show and institute to be held at Remington this fall.

The March of Progress John Kolhoff and Clarence Maxwell of Jordan township have recently purchased a registered Aber--1 deen Angus bull and are visiting herds of the state in order to select suitable heifers for the establishment of a first-class herd. “1 have had the Angus in mind for a long time.” said Mr. Kolhoff, ‘‘as I find they are easy keepers and produce a finished product in the feed lot which cannot be surpassed.” Parkinson brothers of Barkley township are establishing a purebred Shorthorn herd.

The Stock Show Plans for the Rensselaer Stock show October 12 and 13 are practically complete. - Classes have been provided for all kinds of livestock. both grade and pure-bred. Horses and cattle will be quartered in the Leek and Hemphill barns and the sheep and hogs will be shown in open pens. All stock should be in place by 10 o’clock Friday morning. October 12.

will be held in Wheatfield October 20. C. M. Dewey, as president, announces that a good day is expected. Farmers’ Clubs The North Union club meets at Virgie’ Saturday evening, with a very good program. “Seed Corn Selection” will be the subject of J. C. Beavers of Purdue in his address before the South Marion club next Thursday evening, October 11. The subject is timely and it will be worth while for any farmer to cross the county to hear Mr. Beavers. Seed Corn of Vital Importance Henry Paulus, leading seed corn grower and president of the Jasper County Better Farming association, is of the opinion that the seed corn situation is the most serious that the county has experienced in years. The early frost, he states, ruined all of the -corn in the northern half of the county for seed and rendered proper picking difficult in the most favored sections. “Unless we wake up to the fact in such a way that every farmer who has sound corn will pick all the seed he can before ,the heavy frosts, we are going to have a hard time to get enough seed to plant the county,” says Mr. Paulus. “If a man will only take the trouble to’ compare the stands of corn in those fields which are planted-from early selected corn with those planted with that picked at husking time or later, he will have his eyes opened as they have never been before.”

Shorthorn Club James N. Leatherman has directed the men from whom Shorthorn heifers were purchased to deliver them at Rensselaer October 8. Their arrival will be watched with interest by all lovers of good cattle. The officers of the Jasper County Livestock association will meet next Saturday afternoon to select the boys who receive the heifers. A Small Flock a Money-Maker Farmers interested in the purchase of small flocks of sheep have been invited to meet at the courthouse Saturday afternoon, October 6, to consider plans of pooling their orders so that they may ship in as many as needed. Here is a chance for good work on the part of men wanting sheep. Fruit Farming From Milroy “The soil of Mliroy is ideal for all kinds of fruits and vegetables.” said a resident of the township the other day, “With air of the small fruits growing wild in greatest abundance, it is not difficult to grow them in the garden. I have made a good living from the fruit and vegetable business and have built up one of the best farms in the locality.”

Lime for Carj>enter “I think that we can get in several carloads of lime this winter in the neighborhood of our farmers’ clubs,’’ said Charles Welch last week. “Where we have used it • it has been a good thing, and with the price of farm products so high we cannot afford to do without it." Several of the clubs have Shown an interest in liming. There Can be ho question but that it will paj r on sour soils of the county.

On August 15 the coroner of Lake county stated that seventeen murders had been committed in that county since the first of the year, a record which he. cited a§ a ghastly one when compared with twelve murders in all Canada last year where they are 10,000,000 people. Since August 15 five more murders have been committed in Lake county bringing the total up to twenty-two in the past nine months. Lake county has only about 150,000 population, too.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

It will be learned with profound regret that our genial postmaster, C. J. Hopkins, has suffered a slight relapse. He had been progressing as well as could be expected in a case of paralysis until Sunday, when the rupture of a small blood vessel in the head caused the relapse. The patient has been quite restless since that time and the outcome is yet uncertain. Scott Brenner, while at work on the Wortley house just west of the school square Saturday, was a<-> vised by Ralph Lambert that there was a big snake in the J. B. Ashby yard adjoining. Upon investigation it proved to be a genuine old rattler, which Scott proceeded to put the finishing touches to. When dead examination disclosed five rattles and a button, which according to snakeology, proved it to be a 6-year-old.

ICfcfigne- '"•cad The Best Tribute you can pay to the memory of the departed is a monument of stone. That will endure when all other memorials have decayed and vanished. . Such a monument need be no more expensive than you choose. Come to us, and we will show you that good taste is not measured by dollars, neither is an artistic design. We can make a monument you may well be proud of for a surprisingly small sum. Will H. Mackey Rensselaer, Ind,

I Will Pay Your Expenses to Florida

if I fail to prove to your satisfaction that Florida offers more interest on money invested in land and greater returns for labor than the average northern state. It has-been proven time and again that any farmer who has been successful in the North can be more successful in Florida. And in Florida one can enjoy life While earning money. With a Climate that permits growing of crops every month in the year, and soil that will pro-' duce three or four crops annually.; there is no reason why the right : man should not make good. Cit-j rus crops have made men wealthy. ■ There is big money in growing vegetables, corn and other staple crops, and live stock raising is an important and profitable industry.' As there is more poor land in Florida than good land it is im-; perative that you select the right location. Let me tell you about the famous Black Hammock lane’s and give you convincing proof that on these lands can be made big profits from intensive farming*. T ( want you to know just what five to ten acres of this land will do, and to give you some surprising facts Regarding the profits in celery, let-' tuce, potatoes and other crops ini the artesian J>elt of Seminole j county in which Black Hammock ’ is located. For full information write WAYNE C. GILMAN, Goodland, Indiana. Ten Malekula Christian teachers in the New Hebrides islands, who' recently went into the bush toj preach Christ to the wild tribes-1 were attacked by the bushmen and six of them were killed.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1917.

J. E. Sullenberger writes from Edmore, Michigan, under date of September 27 and says: “Please find enclosed the money for another year’s subscription to The Democrat. We have been having fine weather here. The frost did not hit us very hard. Am still picking pickles string beans and squash, so you know it was light. But now we are having some rain, so won’t be surprised if it frosts pretty heavy soon. Crops were quite good here this year. Some places sweet corn is not so good. Peas were a bumper crop in most places. Old Michigan’s a good place to live.”
