COUNTRY LIFE TRAINING
THROUGH CLUB WORK.
Schooi Teacher ls Logical Leader In
Boys and 0lris' Clubs.
J. E. METZGER,
Maryland Agricultural College.


Maryland Agricultural College.
The boys and girls clubs, like other
clubs, should be considered as a
means to an end. The club work
should result In greater vocational
efficiency. II the club has for its pur-
pose the study Of literature or his
tory, as Is the case OF reading clubs,
we should naturally expect greater
proficiency from its members In these
lines. Likewise. If the club is organ
lied for the study of agricultural prob
lens, we would expect of its members
advancement In farm pursuits. Or, If
1t 10 club organized In a manufac-
turing town to further its own prod
ucts, it should result in greater skill
and efficiency In the factory. The
history Of boys and girls clubs, where
they have been run successfully
shows that their desired ends have
been accomplished.
These clubs will necessarily differ
in purpose and scope of work under
taken. AS has been said, the ultimate
end of this organized effort should be
greater efficiency. The club work
must be vitalized. 1t must pertain to
the industries of the locality. In the
locality where rural high school ex-
lists, the club need not concern itself
with the study Of the elementary p1in-
ciples Of agriculture, but may devote
its time to more scientific problems
and their applications. However, in
the many localities of this State,
where such advantages do not exist,
the initial work of the club would be
to teach the elements. The end of
this type of club would be to have the
local school assume the responsibility
Of the elementary instruction work as
soon as possible. In either instance,
the club Is composed Of individuals in
the adolescent period, and in order to
be effective, its educational feature
must be its strongest argument.
Since the clubs are educational In
their character, the logical place for
their organization Is at the school
building. The teacher should call the
meeting and form an organization.
To begin with, It might run as simply
a school club, but eventually, It should
reach all of the young people of the
community. ALI that Is needed is
some one to take the initiative. Lead
ers who will keep the movement go
ing will soon be developed. It Ia ad-
visable to have some older person,
who may act in an advisory capacity.
as a member of the club.
Probably the easiest time of the
year to form club Of boys and girls
is the autumn when the school opens.
| At q Is time the children are eager
for companionship. and are readily or
ganized for special work. 1t lie, how
ever, not essential to wait until the
opening Of the school year to organize.
Get together group of boys and girls
who are willing to devote a definite
! amount Of time to study, and you will
have the basis Of a successful club.

naturally. Give the moulting hens
plenty of feed rich in protein. The
feathers contain large amounts of this
product and make heavy drain upon
the birds supply. The feathers will
grow out after fashion even though
the hens are not fed special feed,
but they will not come through with
the same degree Of health and vitality
they would have If properly cared for.
In addition to the regular rations
give small proportion Of inseed
meal. About 10 per cent of the regu-
lar mash has been found to be good.
This would be ten pounds of linseed
meal to each ninety pounds Of the
mash mixture. If sunfower seeds are
available they make an excellent
moulting feed but 4 would hardly pay
TO buy them at present prices unless
you are raising special exhibition
stock.
