THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

The International The results of the past International Livestock exposition should fill every breeder with enthusiasm. There has never been la year in which such remarkable interest lias been manifested in good livestock. Prices of $31,000 and $9,000 for Hereford and Shorthorn sires tell their own story. In the fat classes, the winning of all championships and grand championships by the steer herd from Purdue is a distinct victory for Indiana. It may be of interest to know thiat about six weeks ago Shorthorn breeders of ‘Jasper county had an option on the* sire of this herd but finally turned him down in (favor of a younger animal. His introduction at this time would have been the making of the purebred beef business of this locality. John R. Lewis of Barkley township won all the breed championships Hampshire boars and did renDarkably well in class. Charles Fleming, a director in the Jasper-Newton Hereford Breeder’s association, purchased a herd leader at the International sale at which Ardmore brought the price $31,000.

The large number of Jasper county farmers who attended the show came home - convinced that good livestock production has never had a brighter outlook and determined to improve their herds. Rural Engineering School Plans for the rural engineering short course to be held at Rensselaer January 2,3, 4 and y, are complete. This will be held by the co-operation of the; County Better Farming association, the implement dealers and Extension Rural Engineering division of Purdue university. P.rof. C. D. Kinsman of Purdue has arranged the following program: . . January 2 “Rope Splicing and Knot Tying Demonstration.’’

Tie Clasp Sets Knit Caps Fur Caps Rain Coats Mackinaws Pajamas Night Shirts Gloves, silk lined Gloves, wool lined Silk Mufflers Wool Mufflers Stetson Hats Kingsbury Hats Traveling Bags Sweater Coats

Demonstration —“Use of Cement and Its Adaptability to the Farm.” January 3 —Home Convenience Day. “Water and Lighting Systems.’’ “Heating Systems and Cream Separators.” January 4—Farm Machinery Day. “Adjustment and Care of Plows and Corn Planters,!’ “Adjustment and Care of Grain Binders and Mowers.” January s—Farm Power Day. “Principles and Care of Gas Engines.” “Use of.. Farm Tractors, Their Construction, Care, Operation and Management.” The purpose of the school is to give practical instruction upon the management and operation of all farm machinery. Some of the best talent that the United States affords has been secured to have charge of the different programs. Manufacturers have loaned the most extensive display of farm machinery and home conveniences ever shown in Jasper county for this school. The committee in charge has been hard at work and hope to give the people most practical and instructive farmer’s short course ever held in the county. The sessions w r ill begin at 10 o'clock each morning and continue until 4 in the afternoon. , Being held in connection with the county corn and poultry show, the committee feels that it is doubly worth while for anyone top attend all sessions. The . meetings, will <be held in -Horton’s airdome. Farmer's Clubs. The .Wheatfield Center Farmers' club will hold its regular meeting Thursday evening, December 27. This will be a very important soil improvement meeting and a committee will - report upon the marl supply of the township. The West Carpenter Farmers' club will hold its regular meeting at the Welch school house Friday evening,'. December 28. Plans for an

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

[institute and corn show will be discussed. The following program has been arranged: Song—America, by all. ' Recitation, “How Father Snores,” Burington Jones. Song—‘Coming Thru the Rye, ’ Jeanie Sage. Acted by Edith Fenwick and Ruth Cooper. Reading—Amiel Hotler. Debate—“ Can a Tenant Afford to Feed His Half of the Crop to Livestock while the Landlord Markets His? Howard Jones and Will Ott. -A. Christmas Pageant, Bethlehem f Youbg People. A good croud will be welcome. Mote and Better Oats. } Many farmers hesitate to treat their seed oats to prevent smut fur the reason that when sowing time comes they want to get the crop m without delay. A method has been devised whereby seed oats may be treated at any time and placed in the bin until spring. Dilute one ; pint of formaldehyde with one pint d: water and pour into a quart hand sprayer such as is commonly | used in stables to keep flies a way. This will treat 50 bushels of seed. While the oats are being shoveled from one. pile to another, spray each shovelful. Pile in a neap and cove for five hours. This will enj able the busy farmer to treat his f seed oats at any time he can spare | a few hours. Does it pay? We are collecting a number of exnerif ences. Farmers -who have used it i certainly say that it does. Poultry Drive. Leo J. Brosemer of the United States Department of Agriculture, who was to address the poultry meeting, arrived too late on account of delayed train service to appear. Mr. Brosemer will attend the county poultry show January 1-5, and expects to arrive for an active poultry campaign in the county to promote early hatching, better feeding and brooding. | Poultry production is probably as highly developed as any part of the livestock industry in Jasper county and this work should meet with general approval.

Synder Talks on Incubation. One of the best talks delivered at a farmers’ meeting was given by Jesse Snyder, the well known poultry farmer, last week on “Incubation. ’’ In the course of his remarks he stated that the 100-egg size will usually give the best results, that the temperature had much to do w ith the amount of <.moling necessary and that moisture control is one of the most important factors in a strong hatch. Mr. Snyder is a public-spirited man and available for other clubs desiring irt:ormation upon the subject. Mr. Snyder hatched over 6,000 chicks last season. The Poultry and Corn Show. Every farmer who exhibits at the County Poultry and Corn show will be well repaid for this trouble whether he wins any premiums or not. Competition creates interest and a little more interest in poultry and corn is bound to result in better quality in these two products. Bring in your exhibits.

WHO IS GUILTY?

Some people were made to be soldiers. But the Irish were made to be cops. Sour kraut was made for the Germans; Spaghetti was made for the wop. Fish were made to drink water, And bums were made to drink booze. Banks were made for the money, And money was made for the Jews. Everything was made for something, Most everything but a miser; God made Wilson for President, But who in hell made the kaiser? —Exchange.

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 he 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. NOTICE OF DITCH PETITION.
