INTERESTING STORY BY GIRL
Says That Children May Assist Par
ents by Giving Them Benefit of
Education Received.

A very interesting story appeared
in the County Agent recently, written
by a little girl eleven years old, who
is her fathers right hand man when
it comes to keeping books. MI. Vaplon
Of the Colorado Agricultural college
hopes that inasmuch as all children
are expected to keep records, many
will develop into home ~bookkeepers.
This little girl, Hazel Kent, says:
Bookkeeping is the most important
part of any business; farming is a
business just the same as banking,
hence 1t is just as necessary for a
farmer to keep a record of his &C
counts as 1t is for any other man, this
is a period of investment in all lines
of business; why cannot the farmer
keep up with the times and put his
business where it justly belongs and
run the farm with some system OF
bookkeeping, so he can know at the
end of a day, or month, or year, that
the farm is On a paying basis; let
the daughter, or daughters, keep the
books for the home and family &C.
counts, and the son, or sons, keep the
books for the farm. If we children
would help our parents in this way,
we could give them the benefit of our
education which they are making a
sacrifice to give us. Your banker
would be glad to help you get started
with your books and would take an
interest in you. l know you would
like it,"

LoP-sIDED LADS DEVELOPED
Blamed for Poorly Proportioned
Boys Of Today

college athletes of today are physi-
cally 'lop-sided.' For more than a dec
ade their chest, shoulders and arm
developments have been decreasing,
while leg strength has greatly in

ton rests with the intercollegiate

These assertions were made by DR..
G.. A. May, gymnasium director at the
University of Michigan, who based his
statements upon observations extend
ing over a period of many years spent
as a gym instructor and upon charts
made a decade ago and this year.

Kidding POULTRY
OF LICE IS URGED
Chickens Enjoy Natures Way by
busting in Light, Dry Earth
Best Dust Baths.

Natures way of Kidding poultry OF
lice is a frequent busting of light, dry
earth. Chickens seem to enjoy moth
ing better, and certainly nothing does
them more good.
Birds are sometimes yarded on the
farm to prevent their getting into the
garden, but wherever they are they
should be provided with some sort of
a lust bath.
In the summer the best dust baths
are made by spading places in the
yard, each about a yard square and
ten inches deep. If there are n
stones in the dirt, it should be sifted.
Care must be taken to have the dirt
fine and free from pebbles, or the
hens will not use it. Make the place
where the sun can shine on it, so as
to keep the dirt dry, and after every
rain the dirt should be turned over
with a spade or fork.
If they can have such a place to
dust themselves, the fowls will easily
keep their bodies free from lice.

CAULIFL0WER NOT
HARD TO MANAGE
Rich Earth and Abundance of
Moisture Are Two Most I'M
portant Factors.

Many consider the culture of cauli-
flower the same as cabbage. In many
respects it is similar, but it differs in
a number of ways.
In many of the southern states the
c~aulifiower plants are set out in au-
tumn and they live through the win
ter and head up quite early in the
spring. In the central or northern
portion Of the country the plants are
grown in early spring, and kept in
hotbeds of only moderate heat, or in
cold frames, and in either case should
be given plenty of oom and a free
circulation of air to prevent the plants
being too %spindling or tender. For late
or autumn caulilower, the seed may
be sown in May or early June.
Very rich earth and abundance of
moisture are the two most important
factors in the culture of cauliflower.
Close proximity to lakes, streams or
the sea helps to insure a good crop,
as the dews are SO much heavier.

A FOOD DRINK
which Brings Daily Enjoyment

A lady doctor writes:
Though busy hourly with my own

pleasure of taking a few minutes to

like coffee.

not because l wanted to, but because
coffee, which I dearly loved, made my
nights long, weary periods to be dread

"On advice Of a friend, l first tried
Postum, making it carefully as sug-
gested on the package. AS I had al
ways used cream and no sugar. I
mixed my Postum so. 1t looked good,
was clear and fragrant, and it was a
pleasure to see the cream color 1t as
my Kentucky friend always wanted
her coffee to look, like a new saddle
'"Then 1 tasted it critically, for l had
tried many substitutes for coffee. I
was pleased, yes, satisfied with my
Postum in taste and effect, and am yet,
being a constant user of it all these
years.

acquaintance that they will like Pos
