by Arthur Clay LyWOOd.
The earth il awake and singing,
The joybells of life are ringing,
Whilst the angels smiles are fiinging
Their sweetness everywhere,
Where the homeward birds are flying
Ger the blue seas softly signing,
For the soul OF winter dying
Melts on the sunny air.
And the breezes' soft caresses
Stir lightly the Ieafland dresses.
The daffodils' flowing tresses
In golden sprays outpour;
The music Of spring is waking
The woodlands to merry-making,
As the laughing tide il breaking
In echoes on the shore.
Oh. sweet is the young world tender,
With its musks and buds SO slender;
And sweet are the birds that render
Their thrilling songs Of praise;
Each sound with its music bringing,
Each heart with it, rapture ringing,
For the soul of joy is clingins
About these early days.

Flag Day June Fourteenth.

The story OF the writing Of the
Star-spangled Banner VIII be made a
feature Of the program for Flag Day,
June la, in all the public schools
throughout the country. The Nation
al Star-spangled Banner Centennial
Commission has been assured by a
number of patriotic associations that
they will aid in this movement. One
OF the latest organizations to volun-
teer its aid is the National Associa-
ton of Patriotic Instructors, of
which John 3. Lewis, OF Boston, Is
the president. For several years
patriotic citizens throughout the
country have been at work to make
the Flag Day celebration In the pub
lie schools big event.
This year the one hundred and
thirty-seyenth anniversary OF the
adoption of the Stars and Stripes a.
the flag Of our country will be cele-
brated. 1t was on June IA, 1F77
when Congress enacted THAT the
flag Of the Is United States be 1S
stripes, alternating red and white;
and that the Union be 13 stars, white
in blue field, representing the new
constellation"
In 1894 the flag was made of 15
stripes and Is stars. This was the
type OF flag that flew over Fort Nc
Henry and inspired the national
anthem. On April 4, 1918. by an act
or Congress, the original 10 stripes
were unchangeably restored.

Strong Poem About an Iceberg.

In the Interesting People" depart
ment of the March American Maya
zine appears an article about a ia
nous Kentucky newspaperman and
poet, w. j. Hampton. In the course
of the article there il reproduced the
following poem by Mr.. hampton, en-
titled The Iceberg" 1t was written
at the time of the Titanic disaster
Mt. hampton said that that disaster
was too big for a poet to get a poetic
grasp on it, SO he took the iceberg's
point Of view, as follows:
81 am the Iceberg;
Before man was, I was;
Since the sea was, have been;
When first the sun came with its
light
To rend the veil of frozen night
And with its warmth to touch the
earth
And give to primal life its birth,
It brought me here,
Child OF the Ice and OF the Sun,
And made the Sea
For me to wander in.
Since my beginning,
Made again of ice and snow,
Unchanged, ! come and 60.
"udL HTSJ L was, L SLlll remain,
Primeval, plain
And unimproved;
AS in the past was, T am to-day,
Still Of the same primordial way.
In ages gone the sea was mine
alone,
But in these modern days,
Upon its ancient ways
| meet man in his ships,
His signs OF power afloat,
His monuments of what Is best
And latest in the realm
OF his accomplishment;
Man of the thousand years,
/ of the millions;
He that Is new,
/ that am old;
He, in his pride of progress,
Forging far ahead Of what he was
/, still the same as I began,
I meet him in his ships,
And then
Il still the same,
Move on,
Alone"

Why Farmers Should Advertise in
the Newspapers.

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio, J. M
Taylor writes a valuable and inter
esting article telling farmers how to
get to market with their goods. Mr.
Taylor goes on, as follows, to show
how farmers can use the newspapers:
THE cities are full of people who
want to buy their goods direct, the
country Is full or farmers who would
gladly sell direct for the sake of the
additional profits to be gained by
that mode OF selling. All that re-
mains Is for them to get together.
There is no need of an extensive
advertising campaign. All that is
necessary is a small display adyer-
tisement in the newspapers of the
nearest large city. And in writing
the ad the farmer should not be bash
full about having his name easily
seen. Let him advertise Smiths
potatoes. or Smiths cabbages, or
whatever Smith has to sell. Do it in
a manner that will leave the impress
sion that Smith Is proud OF his cab
bages, that he knows them to be up
to standard and that he personally
stands back OF them. People will
more readily buy of a man when he
stamps his name on his goods in a
manner which shows that he is not
afraid to be known as their sponsor.
Furthermore, it is good business, for
if people buy Smiths cabbages this
year and find them good they will
clamor for Smiths cabbages next
year and be satisfied with no others"

Farmers Can Choose Their Neighbors.

Under the title, Choosing Your
Neighbors," the following appears ID
the current issue OF Farm and Fire
side:
A farmer is about the only man
who can keep at distance from I'm
congenial neighbors if he chooses
On general business principles it is
bad policy to sell the center or even
a large corner out of farm for any
purpose or any figure very much less
than the total value on the farm. II
the parties who wish the land seem
desirable, give them a long lease that
does not grant the privilege OF sub
letting. The smaller the piece OF
land to be divided the more .rigidly
the foregoing remarks apply. Owners
OF large tracts, on the other hand,
can advantageously sell off slices to
industrious farmers to mutual ad-
vantage. But no neighbors at all are
better than undesirable ones"

INDIAN RUNNER
MORE THAN A FAD
Fowl Is Coming Into Prominence
and Likely to Be
Enduring

The Indian Runner duck is coming
more into prominence and its promi-
nence is destined to be enduring.
There Is reason. The fact is fast be-
coming recognized that the fowl with
capacity for high production is the
one that pays.
Indian Runner eggs are nearly all
fertile, many breeders being willing to
guarantee every egg There is never
much doubt as to how the eggs Will
hatch and when incubated under hens
100 per cent. matches are quite COM
mon. They are easy to raise and pro-
duce full growth and feather at ten
weeks.
A pennsylvania farmer made an In
teresting experiment with pen each
of Indian Runner ducks and White
Leghorn chickens. There were ten
fowls In each pen and they were In
competition one year. For that pc
riod the feed bill for the chicks was
s2.79 greater than that for the ducks,
but the ducks, on the other hand, laid
900 more eggs than the Leghorns. The
900 eggs sold for s22.50. BY reason of
having consumed less feed and laid
more eggs the ducks were. therefore,
credited with $25,59 more than the
chickens. If the profit from duck
in one year is s2.53 more than from a
chicken, why keep a chicken?
There is much suspicion in the
minds of many persons as to the quail
| ity of a duck egg. Whether or not
this suspicion is we'll founded, the fact
remains that there Is a steady demand
for duck eggs, with the price usually
5 cents the dozen above that paid for
hens eggs.

SPACE NO BAR
TO KEEPING HENS
Small Blocks in Cities and Towns
Are Growing in Popu-
larity

The number of small fiocks kept by
people living In cities and large towns
is rapidly increasing each year, and
with the prospect of eggs soaring In
price next winter this increase prom
ises to be more rapid this summer
than ever before.
The fallacy of the belief long ad-
hered to that there is no economy in
keeping hens closely confined is be-
coming understood. Even CONNER
cial poultrymen practice close housing
nowadays: on many such plants the
fowls go into the laying houses In
the Fall and are not liberated there
from at any time during the winter.
Ten hens can be kept in a space
much smaller than that required to
keep a dog. The no-yard house is
entirely practical: house six by
eight feet will accommodate ten hens
and there need be no concern about
their comfort or health If a little at
tention be given them and ordinary
Judgment in their care used.

May Get New Record
at Storrs Contest

With the close of the twenty sixth
week, the International Egg Laying
Contest at Storrs is half over. 1t is
interesting, therefore. to make some
comparison with the records of the
preceding contest. The best Individual
score that has ever been made in any
American egg laying contest was made
by an English White Leghorn at
Storrs last year with a record of 2S2
eggs. In. the first six months this in
dividual produced only 1872 eggs, or As
per cent. of her total yield for the con-
test year. In the present contest an
English White Wyandotte has to date
produced 1871 eggs. If this individual
can only keep the same pace that the
Leghorn did last year, it will mean
record of 304 for the year or better
than the famous 300-egg hen produced
at the Oregon station.
