Who would proclaim a farm clean

or the members OF the county court
might ask that such a day be OBJ

wiser or county superintendent OF
schools might get the farmers Of the

might enlist the farmers OF his district
in farm cleanup day limited to the

1t would promote pride in the

remaining on the farm. God intend

be cleanliness and beauty, and in the

Mint Farm.

j. 8. Calfee dropped into our Office
last Tuesday in company with l. NJ
Judy, of Bremen. Indiana. Mr..
judy is in Missouri buying cattle.
He reports that the drouth has not
injured Indiana crops very seriously.
While the year has been dryer than
usual, there has been enough rain to
keep the crops from falling very far
below the usual standard.
One OF the interesting things Mr..
Judy told US was about his pepper
mint farm Of 100 acres. which he
has rented to parties who raise mint
exclusively. The mint sells for %. 90
per pound and enough Of it is raised
IN the hundred acres to bring In fron,
~, 900 to IS, 600 annually. 1t Ia
harvested in much the same manner as

low land. Mr.. Judy said that there

in economy by calling our attenfios
to discarded farm implements and
machinery, some Of which we might
have been using yet, had itbeen
properly housed, oiled and painted.
1t would mean that many little jobs
of the until-I-get-time kind would be
attended to without further delay and
vexation.
II would result in burning of refuse
and rubbish, the cutting OF weeds,
perhaps the draining OF some stag
nant pool, the cleaning OF outhouses,
pig pens or stables--in short, fewer
flies, less typhoid, better health tor
the farm family.
1t would impress upon us the value
of order and cleanliness, and once
we had put the farmstead in good
shape we would try to keep it so.
1t would insure an actual saving in
dollars and cents by getting all ma
chinery in shelter, and fixing up
many things which ifneglected would
soon be "gone to rack"
1t would mean the gathering up OF
loose boards, some with dangerous
nails in them, and might mean the
saving of horse from injury or what
is of vastly more importance, the
saving of some member of the family
from lockjaw, bloodpoison, or per-
haps death.
1t would enable us to get rid Of rat
harbors and insect breeding places
to get ready to grow big crop next
year and to save it.
1t would make the farm, now the
best place to live, a still better place.

A FaI m Cleanup Day.

Why not EARN Cleanup Day1"
W. l.. Nelson, assistant secretary OF
the Missouri State Board of Agricul-
ture, raises the question and says:
Town cleanup days have become
common and have proved most effect
i've IN promoting pride and cleanli-
ness. Why not, then, a cleanup
day in the country All the empty
tin cans are not in town--but most
OF them ought to be.
While Missouri farms compare
most favorably in point OF cleanliness,
beauty and order with those of any
state, there are many farms that need
cleaning up. 1t may be that the
woodpile has had the "creeps" and
spread over most of the lot that the
barnyard is such as to suggest that
various old vehicles and farm implc-
ments had from time to time taken
sudden fright and ran into the corn
ers with others of their kind that
somewhere not far from the house is
a "morgue" where old shoes and
rags and almost everything else has
been piled "just to get 1t out of the
way" or that there are ill-smelling,
disease-breeding, hy-brooding out
houses and lots that need attention.
There are SO many things we could
do on farm cleanup day. Buggies,
wagons and cultivators are expensive.
Still we would better, after we have
saved all the old iron that is salable
or usable in discarded stuff of this
kind, use it to stop gullies or for
wood and kindling, rather than keep
it just for the sake OF its society, OF
as a monument, often to our neglect.
In the spring or summer, there is
always whitewashing to do, or maybe
there is a weed patch which if lef,

Tho Land OF BoulAh.

am dwelling on the mountain
Where the golden sunlight CLEANS
Der land whose golden beauty
Far exceeds my fondest dreams.
Where the air is pure ETHEREAL,
Ladencd with the breath of flowers.
They are blooming at the fountain
Meath the Amaranthine bowers.
CHORUS
Is not this the Land of Beulah2
Blessed, blessed land OF Life;
Where the flowers bloom forever,
And the sun is always bright1
ii
can see far down the mountain
Where wandered weary years,
Often hindered in my journey
BY the ghosts of doubts and fears.
Broken VOWS and disappointments
Thickly sprinkled on the way;
But the spirit lead unerring
To the land hold today.
CHORUS
am drinking at the fountain
Where I ever would abide;
For I've tasted life's pure river
And my soul is satisfied.
There's no thirsting for lite's pleasures
Nor adorning rich and gay.
For I've found a richer treasurer,
One that fadeth not away.
Tell me not Of heavy crosses
Nor the burdens hard to bear,
For I've found this great salvation
Makes each burden light appear.
And | love to follow Jesus
Gladly counting all but dross,
worldly honor all iorsakeb
For the glory Of the cross.
Chorus
Oh, the cross has wondrous glory!
or I've proved this to be true.
When I'm in the way SO narrow
can see a pathway through.
And how sweetly Jesus whispers
Take the Cross, you need not fear,
For I've tried the way before thee
And the glory fingers near.

THE GREAT DRoueHT.

The press reports show that the
great drought which has prevailed
over the states of Kansas, Oklahoma
Texas and parts of Missouri is still
unbroken and combined with high
temperatures is causing much suffer
ing to man and beast. The corn
crop, it is estimated, has already
been cut short by half a billion bush
els and the prices are consequently
soaring, September corn being
quoted at 70 cents, which would
mean about 80 cents here. Fortu-
nately this parish has made an ex-
cellent corn crop and also good
oat crop, so we will have to buy little
or none of this high priced corn.
Reports from Texas and Oklaho-
ma indicate considerable damage
already to cotton'and if>the drought
shall continue much longer this crop
must necessarily be cut short very
materially with the result of giving
us a good price for the staple this
fall.

That bee culture can be made

From this small beginning, cultivated
without expense and requiring very
little time, Mr.. Metcalfe has already

200 gallons of honey and so pounds
of wax, both at remunerative prices,
and expects soon to make second
shipment. Mr.. Metcalfe is opti-
mistic as to the possibilities of bee
culture in this section and believes
that farm of several hundred col
onies, sufficient to require the en-
tire time of one man, conversant
with the business, would yield re-
turns that would astonish the ma
tives, who have been 40 long welded
