SOME THINGS

No man needs to wait for time, to be

Five crates of antelope, brought
from Alberta, Can, have been added
to the herd of eight already in the

eight antelope are thriving, and with
the newcomers form a fair sized herd
of the animals. While the antelope
is q plains animal, there is sufficient
open space in the timbereQ area of the

at home and to thrive, it is believed.

FAMlLY-TABLE FOOD SUPPLY
Many Advantages in Raising Fruit,
Vegetables, Meat, Bread, Etc
Convenience Counts.

There r many advantages in rails
ing enough fruit, vegetables, meat,
bread and strip TO supply the family
table. The difference in cost between
the s~tOre-bOught foods and those
raised on the farm should be sufficient
argument to convince people.
But there is another advantage that
is not always mentioned when people
are arguing for home-raised foods.
That is convenience.
When the keeper of the farm home
has unexpected company, as she often
does, or when she is very busy with
her homework and finds that the sup
plies are out, she is greatly embar-
raised. But if she has the pantry, the
storehOuse, the smokehouse filled, little
time may be lost in preparing an APP
pctiZing meal.
Even when vegetables must be gath
cred from the garden, fruits from the
orchard, peas, beans or potatoes from
the fields, less time is lost and much
less expense incurred than when some
one with Il team must go to town.
Think of convenience and economy
when YOU are planting crops for the
food supply.
