Sweet are the uses of adver- Using. To dispell the seasons s dullness and remove ones wrink- les from the brow of business men. They loosen purse strings and import a motion to the nim- ble dollar. They are the delight of thrifty housewives, and the male bargain hunter cannot re- sist their blandishments. They create values, begat competition. They are barometers of trade. They create fortunes. Their friends are on both sides of the counter. They educate people and swell the ranks of shoppers. They are a stirring force in every community in which their arts are employed.

TWELVE THINGS TO DO THIS
 MONTH

1. Get out over your fields during the winter rains and see if your soil is staying at home. If it isn't, try some persuasion in the form of broad, cultivated terraces, with clover sown next fall.
 ?. Look to the barn yard, and if it is a sea of mud put it to rights.
 3. Watch the growing calves, and see to it that they are not stunted through lack of feed and shelter.
 4. Visit your school and learn whether there is plenty of fuel and a good water supply; use the opportunity to get better ac- quainted with the teacher.
 ,. Get your boy interested in the Corn and Pig Clubs, and your daughter in the Canning Club work.
 6. Look up your subscription to your favorite farm papers, local newspapers, and a few good magazines. Rememb CT tn a { "the man who reads is the man who leads"
 '. Examine the cotton you are holding for better prices, and see that it is perfectly dry and not rotting.
 8. Begin getting prices on commercial fertilizers, and ar range with your neighbors to buy comparatively in car lots.
 9. See to it that the farm i'm plements not in use are all under shelter.
 10. Tackle the stumps every chance you get; remember that stumpy fields and really good farming don't go together. Il. Keep your eye on the wood pile and see to It that mother always has on hand plenty of good dry material.
 15. Make a King drag and try dragging that piece of muddy road that has been giving you so much trouble; you'll be surprised how much good it will do. The Progressive Farmer.
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-03-19

"Neighbor Jones is public spirit ed, I'll admit, but he is mighty high-tempered. Say "Neighbor Jones is rather high-tempered, of course, but he is a man who is helping the neighborhood for ward. Don't say, "Tom Brown is9a hard-working fellow and good-hearted, l reckon, but he has been mighty low-down, wild and drinking" Instead say, Tom Brown got pretty low once, wild and drinking, but now he's hard-working, good-heart- ed citizen" In other words, wind up with the emphasis on the good trait rather than the bad one.
 Or better still when you hear somebody's name mentioned and it's on the tip of your tongue to refer to some blunder or failing you know about, just try choking 1t down a few times, leaving it unsaid, and see if you don't feel better inside. The next time go a little further and try speaking of some good deed he has done instead of the time he made a mistake (even though you your self have never made any mis- takes), and see if you don't feel happier still.
 If the farmers in any neigh borhood will begin to boost one another's worthy deeds, they soon find themselves living in a better neighborhood than ever before-and the fine part about it is that by adopting this method, they will find themselves living in better neighborhood with out having to move from where they are!

MAKE YOUR GARDEN AND OR.
 cHARD COUNT

l. Fruits and vegetables are the best kind of cash crops. In the rush for so,called cash crops" don't forget that it is what we save, rather than what we make, that counts, and that good orchards and gardens, by enabling us in a large measure to dispense with the grocer and doctor, are cash crops" in the very best sense.
 2. Don't expect the orchard and garden to take care of them selves. If you take care of them they will later do likewise by you; but planting an orchard or garden and giving them no furth- CT attention usually means so much effort and money wasted.
 3. Have the orchard and gar den near the house. Attention to this matter will save many steps for the good wife, and will insure better attention to the cultivation and general manage ment.
 4. Make your garden fertile. Having a really good garden on poor land is almost an impossi- bility, and this is one of the first and most important details to be attended to. For an average garden an abundance of we'll routed stable manure is the best fertilizer, but of course this will in most cases have to be sup plemented with applications of commercial phosphoric acid and potash.
 5. Plant only the best vari- cites. We have lost thousands of dollars through planting trees and seeds that later proved worthless, and to get the most from garden and orchard it is essential that only dependable seedsmen and nurserymen be patronized.
 6. Keep the garden at work. Just as labor and machinery yield the greatest return when steadily employed, so it is with the garden. Two and evel three crops year are easily pos sible, and unless you are getting these you are falling short ot your opportunities.
 In making for "Diversificatior and Independence in 1915" wei tended gardens and orchards are going to be mighty factors. Are yours what they should be?-The Progressive Farmer.

PLANTERS AND EARLY POTATO
 GROWERS TAKE NOTICE.

Washington, D. C.. March IS. Truck growers who annually plant 8 considerable acreage of pota oes are warned by the United States Department of Agriculture that there was on January l, 1915, a very much larger supply of northern-groWn potatoes in the hands of northern growers and dealers than was the case January l, 1914. Ex- perience has demonstrated that a large hold-over crop of north ern-groWn potatoes which is in good condition and selling at reasonable price when the early truck crop potatoes means low price sometimes so low that the shipment of such crops nets a loss to the grower. Under such conditions smaller acreage means a smaller loss than a large acreage.
 With 43,000, GOO more bushels in sight January 1, 1915 than available at the same time last year and with a 1915 price of 42.2 cents as compared with 66.2 cents a year a ago, a price which under the then existing con- ditions did not improve before the truck crop began to move, there is little hope that the con- ditions will be better this year. The price now is about B per cent less than 1t was year ago. The distribution of the crop is much better than it was last season so there is little likelihood that the price of hold-over stock will reach last years mark even by the end of the storage period.

state that Protestants are more interested than any, having so many more institution, but they did not oppose the law because they believe if an institution needs changing, that an inspect ion IS necessary. As the Catho- lies alone fought the bill, be- cause the word "Convent" was in it, the document became known as anti-Catholic bill. To prove what they say, the mem- bers who supported the Posey bill have already taken steps to force investigation of several non-sectarian and Protestant or phanages of the State, and others will follow.
 No one wants the appointment as deputy State Labor Commis- sioner. Here is a good State job going begging because no one feels qualified to fill it. The place became vacant about a month ago and is still thrilled because Commissioner J. c. Clary cannot find a patriotic citizen who is willing to accept it. So far he has only received 264 let ters asking for the appointment, besides as many personal appli- cations. In the lot are preachers, lawyers, labor leaders, and mem- bers of the last General Assem- bly,. Commissioner Clary does not want applicants though, for he is seeking a man who does not want the job, believing in that way the State will get a man of high calibre.

LAYING CONTEST RE-

R. I. Reds, six hens, 49 eggs; No. 20b, Barred Rocks, six hens, 23 eggs.
 Pens 14b, 17b, 1Sb, and 2Ob will be reported in the egg lay ing contest, though serving also in another experiment.
 Results for February are quite different from those for January. However, weather condi t 0 S were no more favorable. Pens that led in January appear to have rested more or less in Feb ruary and visa versa, a perfectly natural occurance. It should be noted that the birds in pens 4, 19, and 20 and also 14b and 17b were rather young for the contest. | Averages show the balance for the month somewhat in favor of the heavier breeds, with the lead going to the Silver Laced Wyandottes, pen 25 with an average of Is eggs per hen. The best individual record for the month is 21 eggs held by a Buff Rock hen.
 Some well developed hens pro- duced no eggs during the month. The experiment promises some interesting results.
 Comments are intended to en- courage study of results. Con- clusions must be deferred until the close of the contest.
 Good winter layers are profit able. Egg production from Mo- vember first to February first will depend largely upon bullets matched in March. Reproduc- tion of the flock is all important for the present season.

D!VERSIFICATION
 HAS MANY ANGLES
THE MAN WHO UNIVERSITIES Suc- CEEDS OR FAILS ACCORD
 INGLY AS HE DOESIT

QlVefSl1lcaClon QQflng the Tall, opened the way for a good many to urge diversifcation who are the wisest councillors about farmers. The subject of diver sifcation is broad and deep and has many angles. It is an easy matter to advise man to diver sify his crops and leave the sub- ject there; but that is not all.
 The man who diversifes is go- ing to succeed or fail, according ly as he does it. Some who have been won to diversifcation, and away from so much com and i cotton, are going to substitute crops that will involve them in failure, just as surely as cotton and corn would. Some are going largely into the growing of pota- toes, others are turning their at tention to cantelopes, watermel- ons, cabbages, etc. It does not make so much difference what crops are grown, if they are produced at the lowest cost, and can be marketed at a profit.
 However, it should be remem- bereed that diversification does not mean to quit raising one thing and go to raising another. Under that plan, the same old trouble would be met in differ ent form. The Lord says in the l good book to Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and all else will be added unto to you" In diversification it might be truly said to seek ye first a living at home, then put your surplus into any good money crop, and pros perity will be added unto you.
 It is wise to produce, first of all, the necessaries for home and farm, and then grow the staple crops, such as corn and cotton. Cotton is a good money crop, if not depended on to buy every thing else. Corn is a fine sur plus crop. If it cannot be sold for cash at a good price 1t can be fed to stock, and sold at 8 good price in that way. fl bush el of corn will make ten pounds of pork. But corn should not be fed to grow hogs. A little corn fed to growing hogs is all right, but if you depend on corn entire ly to grow your hogs, you will lose money. Pasture, sorghum, peas, soy beans, rape, skinned milk, middlings, rice polish, etc., |
 are the things to grow your hogs with, and corn is the thing to fatten them with for the mar ket.
 Do not go to strong on potatoes and truck, unless you are a truck farmer. Anyway, a variety is better than a single crop. Get into the stock business as soon and as strong as you can. Get hog vaccination started in your neighborhood and stamp hog cholera out. You can do it.
 There will not be more than half as much fertilizer used this year as last. The people are too poor to buy it. There will be no fertilizer or feed inspection after April first, and you should be careful what you buy and patronize only the most reliable firms. The Senate refused to make an appropriation for in- spection or to make analyses, consequently we can give no protection to the farmers along this line, though every ton of fertilizer is taxed twenty-five cents to pay for inspection, and the money will lie in the treas !; ury two years and cannot be used for any other purpose.
