How to Keep
People on Farm

How are we going to keep our
children on the farm? Do you an.
t:cipate that some day they will
want to up and away to the city?
T. N. Carver, the man most inter.
ested in this question in the United
States, in a recent speech said that
one Of the best ways to keep people
on the farm to make farm life at
tractive, to make the farm village
or town attractive. This can be
done not only by cleaning up and
identifying your own premises, but
by making and keeping public plac.
es, buildings and grounds attractive.
1t can be done by creating the 30
called social center, where young
folks and old can gather and tighten
the burdens of life by receiving soine
high class entertainment. This Sc
-cial center may be the school 1ouse,
the town hall or the church, and
must be presided over by person
of character. The entertainment may
consist of literary program, theatli-
calls by local players, social, music,
dancing, basketball, etc.
The lack of these things or a few
Of them goes long way toward
driving young people to the city
where such things can be had. For

mands recreation of some sort. And
doubtless is well that it is so, else
would he wear out much sooner than
he now does. But, the worst thing
about it is that If he cannot get re-

there are various sizes that are set
in rings and some tiny ones, both
oval and fan shaped, that are worn
as ear rings. OF course, they may

Roasters.

A rooster is young fowl about full
grown. weighing from four to eight
pounds. The most profitable age at
which to fatten them is when they are
from S1a to four months old, as they
grow and put on flesh at the same
time, and therefore make greater
gains than at any other time. They
should be fattened as early in the
season as possible, for prices, as a
rule, are low in the fall, when most
farmers rush their stock to Market
G Il. Brown.

The woman problem comes in here
for large share Of consideration
The country woman's life often has
seemed to her to be especially duu.
This includes the daughters as well
as the mother. The nature of som-
ans work requires that she be shut
up within four walls q large portion
Of the time which many men could
not stand at all.
First she should be supplied with
as many Of the modern convenience
es to tighten her work and make Ter
steps fewer-as possible. Next she
should have good magazine and
some of the best books that are
constantly being turned out ana
which throw helpful light on prob
lens Of raising children. Then she
must have time to read these and
get her share of recreation at the
social centers.
While these few thoughts are very
Incomplete, they suggest how farm
life and home life may be made more
attractive. They are meant to sug-
gest how young people-and others
may Of their own free will and
choice stay in the rural community
and engage in the more wholesome
pursuits that it affords.
The pitfalls that often await farm
bred young people when they go to
the city is serious matter. But it
Is only one thing to consider. An
other is that the great majority Of

worse off financially and far less
happy than IL they had stayed in the
