Following song by the club enti-

program was taken up.
Should we add the cooperative feat
ure to our club work? Mr.. Greenwald
thinks farmers should cooperate along
the line of business. II they would
work together, study existing condi.
tions more, take advantage OF the
markets, or rather make the markets,
they would get better results. Farm
ers could make markets II they would.
Think of the consequences If farmers
should cease to sell their produce.
Geo. r. Mason, Of the Burton Club,
was called upon. He thinks 1t would
| be good thing for the farmers to CO.
operate but they are the poorest class
of people to work together.
How to free melon and cucumber
vines from bugs and beetles? Several
remedies werei given, as follows: Use
equal parts of land plaster and air
Stacked lime; plant a nasturtium seed
| in the hill; steep tomato leaves and
| sprinkle vines with the solution. P
Reynolds said he had placed a moth
ball In each hill and 1T had proven a
simple and effective remedy.
Misses Florence and Fern Green
valid sang pretty song keep on the
Sunny Side Of Life"
Women as peacemakers was the sub
ject given f. Stiles He said he did
not know Of any but announced the
subject was open for discussion. A..
Clapp gave good illustration OF a
woman as q peacemaker. When he
was In Saginaw county, he found a
man beating his wife. Mr.. Clapp ven
tured to interfere in behalf OF the
woman whereupon she seized a chair
and chased him out OF the house. The
discussion called forth much merri-
ment.
Name three standard varieties OF
chickens. Mrs. Day thinks the Ply
mouth Rocks are one of the best all
round chickens. Others named the
Light Brahmas, Leghorns, White
Wyandottes, but nearly everyone
agreed that the Plymouth Rocks are
as hardy and good for general purposes
as any other kind.
G. Greenwald said that all breeds
are good II kept In their place for
what they are best suited; some kinds
are better for eggs and others for the
market.
Cooling and healthful drinks for
workers 10 the field. Mrs.. Wm.Smith
said oatmeal In water would be nour-
shing as we'll as refreshing. Mrs. Get
man gave recipe a, follows: Granu-
lated oatmeal, juice of two lemons,
cup Of sugar, and cook five or ten min
utes and then add water. Cherry
phosphate, lemonade, cold coffee aid
tea were also suggested.
Little things that help" was the
subject of we'll prepared paper by
Mrs. L. d. Carson. Numerous quota
tions showed that it is the little things
which make up the world. Little
words and deeds are remembered.
Many think II they cannot give great
deal they will give nothing. But 1t
Is the little things which make the
whole.
Mrs. Clapp read very pretty selec.
tion, "Shut in the country" Is 1t
always a failure when we seem to fail?
Sometimes apparent failure is turned
into success. A failure teaches one
where he has made mistake, thus
teaching him to avoid the same thing
again.
What to teach the boys. Mrs.
Greenwald said one very important
thing is to teach them to obey at
home, in school, and to obey the laws
of the state. Teach them to be truth
full, to respect the Sabbath, be neat,
Industrious, saving, thoughtful for
the aged, and to be courteous to their
own sisters as we'll as other boys
sisters.
