FARM VILLAGE
IS SUGGESTED
There Is Nothing Impractical In
Plan and IL May be Easily
ACCOMPLISHMENT
Conditions.
(By S. c. MILLER.)

tBy >. 4. Mll<LEh.)
Isolation, lack OF society and utter
loneliness, the three great causes OF
dissatisfaction with farm life present
not very difficult problem-if It is
really a problem at all. 1t is a rather
serious and very unpleasant condition
which can only be relieved in one way
in getting together. The only cure
for loneliness is company. AS long as
farm houses are widely separated as
they now are farm folk will continue
to be lonely and suffer all the distress
of isolation. The telephone has helped
some. Relatives and neighbors can
hear each others voices at all times
and in all weather even IL they can
not see each others faces. II facili-
tates the transaction OF business
between farms and the market places;
but In this respect 1t may be ques-
toned whether II does not In way
add to the isolation of farm life be-
cause IL does away with the necessity
Of personal meetings and this per-
vents that friendly intercourse be-
tween neighbors and merchants so
necessary to relieve monotony and
which tends toward contentment.
So, that even giving the telephone
and trolley and even the automobile
all the credit that is due these factors
OF social life they do not begin to cure
the condition.
II has been suggested that the farm
ers of the future will live in villages
or camps and go to their outlying
farms in the morning. returning only
at night after the days work is done.
There is nothing impracticable In this
plan but on the contrary It may be
easily accomplished.
A section Of land generally contains
from four to ten families whose homes
are placed as far apart as possible.
BY bringing all the houses OF the fam
lilies 10 one common center the neu-
cleus of a village would be formed
which might later include the families
OF adjoining sections and form a
compact village OF from fifteen to
thirty families.
II the village was located in the
center of farm sections no individual
would have to travel more than
mile to reach the most distant farm,
and this journey twice daily would cut
small figure compared to the adyan-
tage of social life in the village.
Among the advantages of farm
villages life as compared to the pres
ent system of isolation 1t may be sug-
gested the economy OF labor on the
partial or complete cooperation OF
farm work; the obliteration of the
line fence, the barrier that has SO
long stood between harmonious rela-
tionship between neighbors and even
provoked internal and deadly feuds; a
central heating system. effective
drainage and sanitation. the beautl-
flying Of home surroundings and all
the manifold comforts of life possible
In modern methods OF building which
are not entirely practicable In scat
tered farm homes.

TESTING FOR
ACID In SOIL
PRACTICALLY Recently Demon.
strated by Member of New
Jersey Experiment
Station.

Those who use lime have found
whether the soil is acid or sour. and.
therefore, in need of lime, says the
Farmer. But there is often some un.
certainty as to the result, because
when used in the usual manner of
placing the paper in a sample of soil
and pressing the soil particles
against it, the paper would often be
so much stained by the soil that II
would be difficult to tell whether II
had turned red or not.
At a recent farmers institute Mr..
Blair, of the New Jersey experiment
station. showed a better method. A
piece OF blue litmus paper was placed
In the bottom of a glass, then COW
cred with white filter paper. The soil
10 be tested was placed above this
and small quantity OF pure water
poured over II. The soil used in this
case was known to be acid or sour,
and the water carried portion of the
acid through the filter paper and turn
ed the litmus paper red, as could cas-.
lily be seen through the bottom OF the
glass vessel The filter paper kept
the soil from coming in direct con.
tact with the litmus paper. and there
was no staining. Soil not sour. and.
therefore, not in need OF lime, treated
the same way does not turn the blue
paper from its original color. Both
filter paper and litmus paper can be
secured for a few cents at drug stores.

TRAP IS EASY TO CONSTRUCT
Excellent for determination Of Rats,
Also to Catch Rabbits and other
Animals.
By .. w. GRIFFIN.)

NBN j. w. titlff1NsD
Set the trap over a barrel that is
partly filled with water, fasten the
failing doors so tha. they will not
fan and let the rats run through and
around the trap for several nights
then pull out the nail that holds the
doors. and you will catch every rat
that has visited the trap.
Two boards ten inches wide and
two feet long are used for the sides.
one board two feet long and one
foot wide for the top; two boards ten
inches wide and one foot and six
inches In length for the bottom or
falling doors.
The falling doors should have tin
fastened on the top side from where
the pivots enter the sides 10 the end
next to the bait: this will prevent
the sharp claws clinging TO the board
and climbing back, when tho doors
fall.
The description by letter In as fol.
logs: A, bait: BIB, on the dotted
lines, shows tho position OF the fall

The bait should be suspended with
small wire and should hang within
two or three inches of the floor, or
falling doors.
IL the trap Is neatly made and At.

well, there Is not the least possible
doubt as to the game II will cap
