Watch the Lambs.

Sheep more than any other domestic
animals require variety in food. says
the Farm and Fireside. In the fields
they are able to cater for themselves,
but in the yards they are dependent on
their keeper, and it is up to him, If he
hopes to make the best possible profit
out of them, to see that this desire for
variety il as far as possible gratified
After lambing is over much wider

fact, there is hardly anything in the

FARMERS cHAUTAUQUA

The Breeders Gazette issue, Decem
Der 4th, has an interesting article on
the Farmers Chautauqua" We quote
as follows: What are farmers
chautauquas? OF course we have had
chautauquas for years; but the farm
ers' chautauquas are brand new;
they were born last summer. Seven
Of them have been held in Kentucky;
the first in Kentucky, and probably
the first in the world, was developed
by DR.. H. H. Cherry of the Western
State Normal School in Warren
County. This initial farmers chautau-
qua was such an instantaneous and
unqualified success that three others
were held later in the season at
widely separated points in the same
county. e.
"One Of the most important factors
in the success of these chautauQuas
for farmers is that none of them was
held in town or city, no matter
how small and rural in its tendencies.
Every one of them was out in the
country, and far out in the country.
In fact, the last one, which closed it's
session early in October, was 611
miles from any town; and all of the
others were from 9 to II miles out in
the Gods out of DOORS" Every effort
was made to keep them strictly
neighborhocd affairs, rural affairs at
their very best; place to enjoy
picnic luncheons under the trees; e
place to meet old friends and new;
a place to get acquainted with ex-
perts and men who came from a dis
lance; a place to realize that the
State and Government Departments
were closer than they had suspected.
1t was essentially place to grow
away from the old idea Of the neigh
borhood with it many differences.
social, political and religious, into the
new idea of community built solidly
about some ideal of cooperation"

CLEARING AWAY THE TRASH
Pettis County Home-Makers, AuxiI-

Iy Interested.

National Crop Improvement service.1
Sedalia, Mo-, Democrat: The Pet
tbs County Home-Makers' Conference
has taken up the matter Of beautify-
ing the farmyards and roadsides. The
first step necessary is to clear them
Of trash, and they are trying to reach
q means to stop dumping Of tin cans
and other rubbish along the roadsides
and the hauling of poultry house
refuse onto adjoining lands.
From general discussion it is found
that all roadsides are abused In this
way; 1t not being confined to any
particular location. There is no ad-
vantage in changing the dumping
ground from place to place. The only
thing to do is to provide a means Of
destroying the refuse instead Of dis
tributing 1t.
The Home-Makers' Conference Of
Pektis County urge that immediate
steps be taken to establish IN r.
oineration as many other and even
smaller cities than Ssdalia are doing.

ALFALFA CLUB IN WILL CO., Ill

For years Will County has had her
corn clubs and these have been a
potent factor in awakening interest
in the new agriculture. Will County
stands first in Illinois in the number
Of acres of corn over the 100 bushels
mark. Through the corn clubs much
knowledge has been obtained, and
with the same end in view regarding
the alfalfa crop, we have instituted
our Will County Alfalfa Club. One of
our leading business men, M. A. E.
Dinet Of Joliet has donated twenty
dollars toward the fund for premiums.
There will necessarily be two classes,
the old and the new seedlings, and
the first, second and third premium
will be offered for the three best
fields in each class. Rules governing
the contest are yet to be divised. We
shall welcome suggestions along this
line.-F. C. Grannis. County Agent.
