DEVELOPING INITIATIVE.

How the initiative of boys and girls in all sections of the country is being developed through the juvenile agri cultural club work fostered by the de. partment, in cooperation with the state agricultural colleges, and how in. terest in the work is spreading among adults as we'll as children, is brought out by reports received by the States Relations Service.
 Three schoolboys in the State of Washington who were given the use of an acre of land for five years in return for clearing it not only made profit from the potato crop the first year, but with the logs from the clearing built a substantial clubhouse on the school grounds and furnished it. School luncheons are now served in this build ing by girl club members.
 In the Southern States, where this work has been in progress for sereval years, hundreds of girls have made their own money to buy canning out. fits, with which they can not only their own products but they also can for their neighbors on shares. Fully as many boys have saved enough from their crops to buy pigs, calves, colts, lambs, and oh. ckens and are now pros pering in the livestock business. Many students are taking agriculture and home economicsin the colleges because of their own activity and thrift as members of these clubs.

SHORT COURSES FOR FARMERS.

To meet the needs of busy farmers and others interested, the Connecticut Agricultural College has planned to hold four 10-day winter courses, each dealing with a special phase of agrf culture. Every effort has been put forth to make each course 10 days full of information and ideas. Specialists on certain topics have been engaged to supplement the work of the regular staff. Even a few days spent will many times repay the cost. Send at once for a derai.e ed program.
 A brief description of the courses follows:
 Dairying. December 26 to January inclusive.
 The work is planned so that those taking the course may carry away with them very definite ideas on feeding, breeding and judging: butter, cheese and ice cream making; methods of pasteur: zing, clarifying and standard izing milk. All of the college equip. ment will be available for this work.

LIVING COSTS ON FARM.

Many a farm is yielding at least a small profit, when, according to a strict bookkeeping tally, it seems to be a los- ing proposition. This paradox is ex. plained by the fact brought out in a bulletin just issued entitled "Value to Farm Families of Food, Fuel. and Use of House." These items, namely, food, fuel, and shelter, which every farm furnishes to the farm family without money cost are the factors which strict bookkeeping does not take into account and which constitute the difference between profit and loss on the farm which seems to be losing money when in reality it is breaking even or perhaps making a little profit
 The facts brought out were gathered by survey of a thousand families representing widely separated sections in l4 states. Figures were gathered covering the value of all food, fuel and shelter, itemized to show what part was bought and what part furnished by the farm.

PRACTICAL HELPFULNESS.

An interesting indication of the public's sympathy for the city's suffer- CTS from infantile paralysis is contained in report just prepared by the New York Association for improving the condition of the poor upon its fresh air season for the past summer.
 The association was able, however, to give total of 52, ,017 days of outings to 4.42S tenement dwellers between June and November1 when the fresh air season closed. It was able to do this, by keepiI g all its fresh air head quarters open continuously, including three new ones, by temporarily enlarg ing Sen Breeze, its main fresh air head quarters Ut Coney Island, and by throw Ing open Caroline Rest at Hartsdale for fresh air guests for the first time since Caroline Rest was established.
 These activities of the association, involving increased expenditures for equipment and for nursing service made necessary by the qu1rantines, were made possible by 5,556 contribu- ti~ns totalling $7l, ,755 37. This is an increase of 37 per cent, in number of contributions over the largest number received in any single year, and an in crease of 36 per cent. over the largest amount ever before ed in a single year for the fresh air fund. Many of this years contributions came from outside New York city as a result of the entire country's interest in New York s jnfantile paralysis problem.

BROTHERHOODS MEET
Feast and Listen to an Eloquent Ad-
 dress by pr. w. H. Finch.

Thursday night the members of the Brotherhoods, connected with the churches in Canaan, met at the Metho dist church for another of ::5heir unior 1 suppers.
 The ladies of the church had made ample provision to supply the wants oi the inner man. Seating was provided at the tables for over a hundred, but many were unable to attend because oi the pressure of business and other en agreements for the evening. Besides the members ot the Metho dist Brotherhood. there were present men from the Pilgrim, Episcopal and East Canaan Brotherhoods, as we'll as two from the Falls Village Methodist church.
 Previous to the serving of the supper, the men gathered in tine audience room of the church, giving them an oppor tunity to renew the acquaintance of the speaker of the evening, Rev. Wallace Harold Finch of the Stamford Metho dist chu ,ch.
 At the call to supper, the guests re paired to the dining room, where g bevy of waltresses under the efficient direction of the president of the Ladies Aid Society, Mrs. F. F. Stevens, quickly served the bountiful supper prepared. It had been ann ounced that the ad dress of the evening would be delivered in the church auditorium. so that the ladies who served the supper could have the privilege of listening to Dr Finch. As there were several vacant chairs around the tables, it was decided to stay in the dining room and invite the ladies to occupy the chairs. whicl many of them did.
 Rev. MT. Travis. as toastmaster, first called on Rev. W. F. Maylott of Derby who was visiting in town. as a former pastor and member of the East Canaan Brotherhood. MT. Maylott expressed his pleasure at being present and gave brief resume of similar gathering he recently attended in New Haven.
 MT. Travis then presented Dr. Finch as one who needed no introduction tt Canaan audience. having spoken oI two occasions in the Methodist church and once at East Canaan. Those who had heard him, recalled with pleasure his lectures on Robert Burns" and ",Ihe Magic Maker"
 OT. Finch took for his topic Work, declaring that not only was it neces sity for man, but that the worker was the happiest, the most contented man. In all work the wages received was a secondary consideration, money was not the principal thing. Of al kinds of work that done for Christ and His church was the noblest and most satisfying.
 pr. Firch eloquently and forcefully elaborated these points, bringing home to his listeners the satisfaction there was in work not only for the good oi the worker but for the uplift of man kind.
