Instead of state champions in boys and girls farm products and home economies clubs being given trip tc Washington, as was the case last year. the department of agriculture off, cials recommend a scholarship in some agricultural college as more valua. ble to the recipient. This means that the winners are sent to the college a year with all expenses paid.
 For champions of counties a short course in such an institution is sug. gested. Large cash prizes are dis. couraged. A pair of registered pigs or chickens, a fine colt, registered calf, books on agriculture, a fireless cooker, etc, are thought to be more profitable presents. Also many small prizes, rather than a few large ones are believed to give better results in getting more young people to enter the contest. teEv

 Long time ago, when the first frosts came and the nuts fell down from the trees so fast that they made a pleas ant rattling in the forest, the Indian hunters went out to capture the fat pigs for the winters meat. It was a time of feasting for everybody and especially for the little boys who loved to fish pigs feet out of the cooking pot and eat them with corn cake.
 And when one of the old men, who could no longer go to the hunt or help to dress the pigs and hang them to high limb so that the frosts of night could chill the meat, saw boy fishing in the pot for a pigs foot, he would call out:
 "Ho, little one! Are you sure that pig didn't have a mule foot?" When the boy had eaten all he could hold of fresh corn cake and the juicy meat of the pigs foot and when he had licked his fingers, he would come to ask the old man to tell him about the time the pigs had round hoofs.

He knew that the Little People rode about the woods on the backs of the wild pigs, and that there was a strong friendship between the Little People and the pigs. So, whenever a man or a woman or child became sick, the hunters would be sent out to capture a live, wild pig. / And when the hunters came in the wise medicine men would cut off the pigs tail and burn it in the fire. For the wise medicine men knew that the wicked Yunwi Tsunsdi who were sit ting on the sick person could not bear to smell the burning pigs tail, but would get right up and run away into the woods again.

Yunwi Tsunsdi called all the Little People in council; and all the wild pigs of the forest were called, too. the chief of the Yunwi Tsunsdi got up and said:
 . We must find out a way to stop man from cutting of the tails of our dear friends the pigs and burning them. Who has anything to say?"
 Then the oldest and fattest of the pigs rose up and said that he had no ticed that man would not eat any ami. nal whose feet were not split; and man wouldn't cut off and burn the tail of any animal which he wouldn't t eat
 We'll" said the chief of the Yunwi Tsunsdi, eff that is true we only have to sew up the splits in the feet of our dear friends the pigs!"
 So all the busy Little People were sent out into the forest to get pine needles. and when they came back the chief of the Yunwi Tsunsdi told them to thread their pine needles with bris ties from the necks of the pigs and sew up the splits in the feet of the pigs. And when that was finished the chief of the Yunwi Tsunsdi told the pigs that they would be safe from man as long as they kept their round feet And he told them that they would keep their round mule feet only as long as they kept away from the camps of man and did not beg for food when the winter was cold and they were hungry and there were no more nuts on the ground.
 But, in spite of what the chief oi the Yunwi Tsunsdi told them, the very next winter the pigs came and asked man for food. And as soon as they had eaten some of the corn the men threw to them, the threads which held their feet broke, and they found them selves with split feet again. And so they have been to this day But once in a while you will find one who did what the Little People said. and he keeps his mule foot to show how we'll the Yunwi Tsunsdi keer their word.
