PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

In olden times, when Peace was waving her bright wings o'er the globe, and all the nations were behaving, and no king tore 'his/robe, whenever people got together, in a'ny mundane clime, they talked about the crops and weather, and had a splendid time. Will such glad tithes come back, 1 wonder?

»188 Why not insure your cars when we can carry your insurance for Fire, Lightning, Wind Storm, Theft and Collision for about $1 per SIOO. I also haye several farms for sale or will trade on town property. If you need anything in insurance or real estate, see me. Walter Lynge Phone 45S Rensselaer, - Indiana

Will neighbors ever meet, and pass up swords and blood and, thunder, to talk of rain and wheat? My neighbors often, come to see me, to sit upon my porch, when twilight’s hour is soft and dreamy, and smoke the evening torch. They always talk, with lungs of leather, of blood and warfare vile; they never more discuss the weather, although it's well worth while. They speak not of the crop of onions, hut cry, “We’ll win the war! The Prussians trampled on our bunions, and now they'll get whatfor!” I’m sick to hear some fellow talking about the winter wheat; I yearn for him, as I sit rocking, with my rheumatic feet. It seems to me I'd give a dollar to see that gent again, who puts tip an unholy hosier, because we don't get rain. I'd give a dollar and a quarter to meet the gentle flat who says the nights art growing shorter, and talks for hours of that. The dear old jhernes that set us yawning in old times are no more; since battle had its crimson dawning, we talk of bones and gore.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

“Sheep Show Profit’’ “We expect our sheep that we I bought last fall to pay for themselves this season,’’' said Oscar Weiss of Jqrdan township at a meeting of the South Marion Farmers’ club last week. Mr. Weiss recommends the purchase of western ewes as being cheaper and hardier than most of the natives offered for sale at the present time. He also urged that farmers begin in the business in a small way rather than to establish extensive flocks at once. Not requiring a great outlay for buildings and equipment and giving almost immediate returns of the investment, the sheep industry should appeal to the young farmer at the present time. “Nearly every farm can support a few sheep without noticing the cost and if the matter were given the attention it deserves thousands of dollars would be added annually to the income of our farmers.” Shallow Planting for Corn “Tell the farmers to plant their corn as shallow’ as they can this year,” said a prominent citizen the other day. "The seed is none too strong and dee-p planting will cause many poor stands, because the seed cannot furnish enough vitality to push the sprouts through the soil.” Experience as well as experimental data show that corn planted as shallow as possible and still be covered gives the best stands in ordinary years. In very dry seasons and with poorly prepared seed beds deeper planting must be used. Shorthorn Club Progressing W.“ B. Krueck, assistant state leader of boys' and girls’ club work spent • two days last week in the county visiting members of the Shorthorn club. As a whole, he was wen pleased with the progress made by the members, but he found a few boys w’ho were not taking proper care of their heifers. “In order to sell well, these heifers must go into the ring in the best possible condition. They should be fed enough cracked corn, ground oats, oil meal and hay to keep them gaining all the time. They should be kept in a darkened stable during the day’ and pastured at night after the flies came. I do not believe that many people realize the importance of plenty of flesh in pure-bred cattle offered for sale, and I am positive that the boy who i brings his heifer into the auction 'next fall in a poor condition will I receive less than cost price, but the well fitted animals will show a good profit.’’ Mr. Krueck will return to the county later in the season to show ' the club members how to fit their i heifers for the sale.

An Early Garden ,yy \ Lake of Walker township has been using lettuce* and radishes from his own garden for a month. Last fall he made a good hot bed and some time ago he planted his early garden in it. This came along fine and has been furnishing plenty of green vegetables for his family. “It is a little trouble to have garden so early in the season, said Mr. Lake, “but it is certainly worth it.’’ Judging from the results he obtained it would be worth while for every family to adopt his method of attacking old H. C. of L. Pasture Lowers Cost of" Pork Production Hogs on good pasture eat 15 to 30 per cent less grain for the same gain in live weight than do those in drv lots. In five feeding tests in dry lot at the Missouri Experiment Station hogs ate 5.11 pounds of concentrates for each pound of gain, while the average amount of concentrates required per pound of gain in fifteen feeding trials with hogs of various kinds of pasture was only 3.5 4 pounds. This means that there was a saving of 1.57 pounds of grain for each pound of gain made by the hogs on forage as compared with those in dry lot, a saving of 30.7 per cent. Farmers who have red rioter or alfalfa for hog pasture are about as well fixed for hog pasture a-s thev can be, the. county agent declares. Either of these crops will provide pasture from the first to the middle of'May on throughout the season, with the possible exception of Ju.lv and August, if the summer proves' to be unusually dry. If red clover or alfalfa are not available’, plant some annual pasture cron like rape and oats or. soybeans.. Those farprers who use nutritious forage ctops to the fullest extent possible, with sufficient grain to keep their pigs and shotes gaining one-half to three-fourths of a pound daily, will be the ones who will make the greatest profit out of feeding hogs this summer. With pasture they will reduce the cost of pork produced 20 to 30 per cent, in comparison to what it would be in dry lot without pasture, --e-— -■ - Several farmers are going to keep figures this summer to show just what results may be obtained here in this county.

HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT

House Cleaning “The scrubbing’s dope; my kitchen stands arrayed In shining tins and order reigns supreme.” “The successful housekeeper,” home management experts tell us, “ajroids that long siege of house cleaning which makes life a burden to each member of the family. She has reduced house cleaning to scientific principles and to business

THE TWIGE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

principles. S'he is able to' plan the renovation of her house so systematically that it does not interfere with the business of living.” This, of course, is the ideal way to keep house and with the advent of hardwood floors, vacuum cleaners and other labor saving devices, ’ simple curtains, a minimum amount of bric-a-brac, a few good pictures, plenty of closets, etc., it is possible to attain this ideal. The average housekeeper, however, still has her semi-annual ‘house cleanings when ' she feels the whole house must be ( £one over, especially in the spring, | when Nature is blossoming out in all her freshness and beauty. Then . every woman turns instinctively to> the renovating and beautifying of < her home. She longs for crisp, | snowy curtains, fresh cretonnes, 1 fresh paint, new wall paper, and all , of those accessories that tend to | make her house more livable and, inviting; the most 'pleasant place in' the world for her family and friends. For, as Frances Willard . says: “The mission of the ideal woman is to make the whole world homelike.’’ i. Tn planning for the bouse cleaning campaign the other work should be arranged so that the business of living is not interfered with, for nothing disconcerts a family more than the general upheaval of the house. Care, too, should be taken not to remove the stove at too early a date, unless there is a fire place or other means of heating. ! ‘‘The chief advantage of house I cleaning lies in the fact that at I this time a year's accumulation are I looked over and many of them rejected. To leave woodwork and floors and closets for a yearly cleaning as many people do is inexcusable. Once a week, in dusty regions, or perhaps once a month in the clean country or seaside,’’ says Dr. L. L. Wilson. System in doing the work is just l as important as good equipment ' and the housekeeper whose work “is never done” is often one who never stops to plan out her work to save time nor tries to prevent unnecessary steps by thinking ahead. The cleaning equipment should first be piit in order and needed supplies of cleaning materials provided. These should consist of a good vacuum cleaner, if possible, sweepers, ceiling and wall brushes, oil mop and dusters, floor oils, kerosene, ammonia, Bon Ami. turpentine, soaps, etc. Some good disinfectants and plenty of clean, so>t cloths. . . The Home Economics Division or the Department of Agricultural Extension recommend the following formulas for oiled floors, mops and dust cloths:,,' Floor oil—a. Turpentine. Linseed oil. Paraffin. Equal parts; heat over hot water. b. 1 lb. paraffin. 1 gal. boiled linseed oil. For dustless dusters and mops—--3 parts boiled linseed oil, 1 part turpentine or % cup kerosene 2 qts. hot water. Saturate thoroughly, wring or dry. Extension Leaflet No. 69, which can be secured by writing ta thExtension Department, Purdue University, will give further help on floor coverings. Tn the order of house cleaning a systematic cleaning of one or two rooms at the same time is recommended rather than the wholesale tearing up of the entire house, 'for a little cleaning done often is far more economical than to let dirt accumulate. Accumulation necessitates hard rubbing, the use of more water and often the use of alkalies, all of which man endanger the finish of woodwork and floors. The old adage “A little at a time and that done well, Is a very good rule, as many can tell.” applies very well indeed to house cleaning. An excellent housekeeper who always keeps her home in exquisite order, cleans her attic and store room first,'quite early in March before the sun gets really hot, since it is more comfortable to work there at that time. She then cleans one or two bedrooms each week, having the curtains laundered with the weekly household laundry. She continues this until all the bedI rooms are done, then she goes to the living room, dining room and kitchen and does the basement last of all. By the time the fine weather of spring open up, her house is arrayed in a fit manner to meet ; this most lovely of all seasons, and besides there is ‘‘the supreme satisfaction in knowing the beauty of cleanliness, the restfulness of order, the reflex moral influence of a clean body in a clean house among clean surroundings. Demonstration in Hanging Grove Township Tuesday, April 23, a demonstration will be given on the use of substitute flours at the home of Mrs. John Jordan near McCoysburg. Thursday, April 25, the same demonstration will be given at the home of Mrs. Robert Jordan near McCoysburg. Every one is welcome to both these demonstrations.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucou s lining of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or iniperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored’ to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forevjer. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All druggists, 75c. F. J. CHENEY CO., Toledo, O.

Morning Exercises.

Calisthenics taken in the early morning do much to keep up the general health. Standing, warmly but loosely clad, at an open window and inhaling deep breaths of fresh air will stimulate the blood quickly. This might be followed with two or three easy exercises. One might consist of doubling the fists, placing them at the and then thrusting them out at arms’ length swiftly. After that it would be well to bend, trying to touch the floor with the finger tips without bending the knees. These calisthenics might be concluded with a final one of kneeling and bending forward the floor frona the waist. The whole performance need not take more than five minutes, and will do more to make circulation lively and muscles in good condition than any amount of medicine.
