REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method of Trading INDUCED
in by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able TO
meet in their own dwelling place the
Kukuhuhus, shy, yet ferOcious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have a great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do u
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc, and
deposit them in a certain indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do so by a
courteous cry from the distance. The
mountain dwellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. If
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast jewellers ap-
proach again. If the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; If not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.

ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

R. F. D. No. 1, Lewisburg, Ky.-"Fff-
teen years ago I was badly affected
with eczema upon my scalp first, then
it spread all over my body and con-
tinued to grow worse for four years.
1t began with dry rash. After form
ing thick scales or scabs the irritation
forced me to scratch the scabs off and
the hair would come out with them.
Upon my face and body the sores
would get inflamed and they disfig-
ured my face. 1t was worse where
my clothes irritated them. The erup-
ton was a yellowish watery kind,
sometimes bloody. In warm weather
it was so bad / was not able to work
on account of the raw irritating sores
on my head and body.

OF COURSE 1T WAS THAT ONE
Given Two Pennies for Set Purpose
Which Would Boy Naturally
Prefer to Lose?

Dull and gray was the afternoon.
Slowly, with reluctant footsteps, Wal
ter William made his way toward the
Sunday school. If the truth be told in
one fell swoop, he was not lover of
Sunday school, and were it not for par
entail compulsion, would easily have
found some other way of congenially
passing the time.
AS so often happens when one is
down in the dumps, another bitter
blow was in store for Walter William.
He had two beautiful new pennies, one
for the Sunday school, and its brother
for the purpose of buying sweets, or
some similar delicacy.
Unhappily he lost one of the bright
new coins, and in due time reported
the event at the maternal headquar'
tiers.
But, Walter, which of the two pen

Back came the reply, like a rife bull
let:

REAL GARDEN IS NECESSITY
Demand for Flrst-class Vegetables 10
Almost Everywhere Unsatisfied
in Southern States.

Almost every farm has some sort Of
a garden, but the great majority
have been regarded in careless way
and given but little attention, and as
a consequence have never yielded
anything to compare with a we'll
made garden. The trucking and mar
ket garden industry, while it has been
a great thing in some sections, it as
yet poorly developed in most of the
south, although the demand for first
class vegetables is almost everywhere
With the proper understanding Of
the possibilities of home gardening
in adding to the pleasures of farm
life, and the profits to be made from
market gardening, the South will no
doubt become noted as a land of gar
dens. The time has come for the real
garden to set aside the old makeshift
garden, which was in summer a little
patch of beans and roasting ears, and
in the fall afforded few collards and
turnips. The real garden will be a
well-cared for plat of land, where can
be and where will be grown variety
at vegetables through long season.

SHARING WITH HIRED HELP
Farmer Would Find it Profitable to Re-
ward Generously Results of Little
Cooperation.

One of the evolutions in modern
the so-called profit-sharing plan of dis
tributing share of the profits of a
business among the employees who
have helped to make those profits. A
large number of the largest business
institutions in the country have in
augurated this highly commendable
plan of giving the laborer his due re-
ward for faithful service. The busi-
ness man reaps his reward by being
able to secure more efficient and con-
scieutious service from employees. The
scheme simply injects a little person
atty and human sentiment into sordid
business affairs and makes a man q
little less of machine.
The suggestion has been made that
the profit-sharing idea might profit
ably be extended to the farm and this
| appears to us to be good suggestion,
says the Farm and Home. For in
| stance, if your hired man gives to you
unusually good service and is willing
to do more than the fair thing by you.
why can you not stimulate this spirit
by promising in advance a cash bonus
or a share Of the proceeds of the crop
in return for this aid? Extend this
plan to the boys. Would it not pay
you TO reward generously the results
of little cooperation? Set a reason
able mark for the yield OF your corn
field or the output of the dairy barn.
To the boy or man who can increase
the average, offer a share of such in
crease. This is only one Of many
ways in which you can apply this
profit-sharing idea. If you keep books,
and you should do this, it is easy to
figure out such a scheme.
The farmer is a capitalist and a
business man in certain sense. The
soil is his capital. He accumulated
this capital partly by hard work and
partly because Providence permitted
him to live in a country and in a day
when he could by thrift acquire such
capital But the farmer owes a GER
tain debt to his co-laborers whose
only capital is labor. Give these CO
laborers a square deal. The profit
sharing plan affords this opportunity
and it costs nothing because 1t gives
you greater efficiency. Give the good
wife, the boys and girls, and the hired
man, all of whom help you to make a
success of farming, their share of the
results Of their labor

STRIVE FOR GREATER TEXAS
Boys and Girls Clubs Formed for Pur.
pose Of Interesting Youths In
Agricultural Work.

By Fl. H. WILLIAMS, Assistant State
Agent in Charge of Club Work.
The purpose Of the boys and girls
club work of Texas, which embraces
what is sometimes known locally as
boys corn, cotton, milo and girls can
ming clubs, ETC., is to interest and as
sist boys and girls in the study of
live stock raising. agriculture, home
economics, ETC., and thus benefit them
in their preparation for life's work.
The work is strictly educational, and
the purpose of an educational work
should be to teach the boys and girls
to be home builders. No nation has
ever achieved permanent greatness I'M
less it's greatness was based upon the
substantial citizen. Club work among
men and women of all classes has
been a potential factor in the develop
ment of civilization and is proving no
less effective in promoting the agricul-
tural and intellectual education Of the
youth. The short history of club work
in this state is sufficient demonstra-
ton to show what can be accom-
plished in increasing the productive
ness of Texas. One of the purposes
is to teach the boys and girls to pro-
duce a greater crop at less expense,
and at the same time maintain or in
crease the fertility of the soil.
This work of our Texas youths has
a beneficial influence on the social life
of me farm. The great men and
women of our nation are constantly
discussing why boys and girls leave
the sa-m and are agitating the back
to the farm movement. 1t is the con.
sensus of opinion that there will be a
continued preference of farm boys
and girls for the city until rural edu
cation and social life on the farm are
revolutionized. How may this be &C
complished. There are many methods
by which great results can be attained
to this end. Perhaps the greatest re
suits can be accomplished through the
cooperative work of the boys anC
giris The boys and girls club work
teaches the fundamental principles oil
| better farming by bringing them in
direct contact with the process of pro
du-tion. The watch word is learn to
| 70 by doing. or no less importance
is the fact that it gives them inspira
| ton and love for the soil and farm
life and tends to dignity labor by the
demonstration that there is honor as
well as profit in properly applied
labor.

FOLIAGE OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Trees and Plants Breathe Through
Their Leaves and Therefore Should
Be Given Care.

The foliage of tree, plant or vine
is the important part of all growing
vegetation. Trees and plants can
only be vigorous and healthy when
the foliage is healthy and vigorous.
Trees and plants breathe through
their leaves. They are the source
of respiration. They take up carbo-
bonic gas which is detrimental to
mankind and throw of oxygen which
is necessary to human life.
The leaves of trees and plants are
like the governors on an engine, they
control and regulate the entire ma
chine. Fruits, flowers and vege-
tables can only reach perfection
through the aid of healthy foliage.
Therefore, farmers in particular
should see to it that the foliage on
growing crops is kept in proper con-
dition. This, however, applies to the
home garden in city or village as
much as it does to the farmer.

Cooperative Laws

In all but two or three states of the
union cooperative organizations which
want to be truly cooperative must do
it by circumventing the law. This is
because the corporation laws in most
states do not recognize cooperative
companies, and the lawmakers do not
realize the need of special laws
adapted especially to such organiza-
tons. Special incorporation laws for
cooperative companies, similar to
those of Wisconsin, would do much to
encourage this form of organization
among farmers.
