A Young PouItryman.

I AM a little farmer boy II years
! old. live on a farm of 40
acres, IL miles south of Mt. Airy,
N. 9. l think that poultry is one of
the best investments the farmer can
make. About two years ago my eld-
est brother sent us some Single Comb
Bun Orpington eggs We set the eggs
and 16 hatched, and II were raised.
Eight hens and three cocks. Last
spring the hens laid close to 800 eggs.
and we set about 100 eggs and we
nave sold and eaten about half of
them. We now have 80 hens and
ten cocks. I think we will sell 300
eggs this spring, and / think the
poultry industry will pay us.

Would You Like to Go Clustering? !?

I AM young farmer not yet 12
years old. I am learning all
can about farming, and as soon as
am old enough I am going to join
the Boys Corn Club and try for
prize.
Our farm is in Isle of Wight
County, Virginia, just three miles
from tide-water.
This is fine farming and truck
ing section. One farmer near us has
planted 1000 barrels of Irish pota-
toes this spring.
We are near enough to hear the
big guns from Fortress Monroe, and
to see the searchlights from the ves-
sells in Hampton Roads.
We are also near the oyster rocks,
free-for-all oyster bed owned by
the State, where anybody can go in
the oyster season and get all they
want. When the tide is out one can
drive right out into the beds and
pick them up by the wagon load. The
men always make fire and have
big roast on the beach and bring a
lot home in the she'll. They will
keep several days if they are
sprinkled with salt water with lit
tie corn meal stirred in it.
1t is real funny to see them open
their mouths to eat If any of the
Progressive Farmer boys would like
to go oystering, come to see me in
September and we will go.
The farmers in our neighborhood
are mostly progressive farmers and
use improved implements and ma
chinery.
My father has bought about $500
worth of farm machinery and imple-
ments within year. Our money
crop is peanuts, and we had to wait
so long for the neighborhood picker
to pick them off, that he bought
Benthall picker, so that he could
house his crop before the blackbirds
ate them all up. As soon as the
peanuts are dug and stacked in the
fields to cure, the blackbirds come
by the thousands and would destroy
most of them if they were not kept

Some Work for Girls.

I RAISE cane patch most eyery
L year, and think it is nice work
for girls. There is not very much
about it that a girl cannot do herself
after it is planted. My brother nre
pares the ground and plants the cane
and plows it when it is needed but
outside of that l do nearly all tic
work myself. There is not much
work about it except to hoe and
thin it until it gets ripe. 1 strip the
fodder and cut off the heads, which

is ready to be cut down and hauled
to the mill, then it is when l call
on some help to get it to the mill.

ways have my patch as near the mill
as possible, SO that / will not have
far to haul the cane.

The latest work of the federation
is club extension into the rural dis

centers and urging the town and coun-
try women to get acquainted. Rest
rooms are being opened in many towns
where the women living in the country
can ave a place in town to rest and
care for their children and meet the
town women. This work is difficult to
carry On. as each community has to
form its own center as it pleases. The
Minnesota federation has not only
helped to form women's clubs. but
community clubs of both men and
women.
The federation keeps in close touch
with university extension in the state
and thus is enabled to reach all dis
tricts in the state.
The wv years have been filed with
enthusiasm for all altruistic ideals
and we believe a new enthusiasm is
%pervading all club work in the thought
