settle down with gradual warmer con-
ditions prevailing.

Farmers and their wives do not like to adopt new methods without first

 persons who will agree to put into practice on their farms or in their homes, methods which have proven a success elsewhere. These demonstrat-
 ors, as they are called, serve to show
 their neighbors by actual deeds Gn-
 stead of words, that these methods, un-
 dertaken and carried out under the aGNice Of an expert, pay. The follow ing enthusiastic letter, which was re- gently received by Mrs. Edith c. Sails , bury, Home Economies Specialist. from one of her demonstrators, indi-
