by writing to his congressman, or by writ
ing direct to the Division of Publications
of the Department of Agriculture The
bulletins are free while they last, and after
the free supply is gone they can be bought
from the Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Washington,
for five cents each.
l know a man who made it practice
to carry one or two of these pamphlets in
his pocket all the time. He lived in the
suburbs of his city, and read them while
going back and forth on the street-car.
To-day he is looked upon in his neighbor-
hood as an authority on the care of the
vegetable and flower garden.
1t is an interesting fact that, of all the
more than 700 bulletins, the ones in
greatest demand deal with chickens. And
most of those who want chicken reading
matter are city folk! 1t seems that there
breathes scarcely city dweller with soul
so dead that he doesn't look forward to
the time when he will retire to pretty
little well manicured acre or two, and
make comfortable living from poultry.
These bulletins, however, are only one
little item of the information one may OBJ
tain free from the government. If you
are farmer and have problem of any
kind whatsoever, write to w. j. Spillman,
chief of the Bureau of Farm-Manage-
ment; he will come back with personal
letter telling you just what to do. There
is now, in many county-seats throughout
the country, a government farm expert
who may be consulted by nearby farmers.
Last year one Of these experts, stationed
in an Indiana county, got the farmers to
take care of their apples, which had been
allowed to rot on the ground because there
seemed to be no demand for them. He
showed them how they could make
profitable deal with commission mer-
chants in Indianapolis.
A friend of mine had farm in Ohio,

part of which was covered with
scrubby growth of oak, which was not of
much use for timber, but which spoiled
the ground for pasture. He made in
quiries of his neighbors as to. way of
disposing of the timber for enough to pay
for clearing the ground. Nobody knew
of any use for such small timber. He
wrote to the Bureau of Forestry at Wash
ington, which was in touch with man,
living within few miles of the Ohio farm,
who wanted just such lot of cheap oak
timber to burn in brick kiln. Moreover,
it knew another man in the same locality
who was a forestry expert and could tell
which timber to cut and which to leave.
Learn How to Raise Babies
PERHAPS information pertaining to
: things that grow in the soil is out of
your line. Your hobby, maybe, is bring
ing up cute little assortment of babies.
Very well. If you will write to the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Department of
Labor, or the Bureau of Education of the
Department of the Interior, at Washing
ton, you will obtain long list of free gov
eminent publications crammed full of
high-grade information that you can APP
ply to baby or child culture.
Almost anybody could glance over a
list of all the new books published in a
given year and see titles that would catch
his interest-books that he might never
learn of in the book stores or by reading
the reviews in the magazines. For
small sum of money you can get fully
indexed list of all the publications that
are copyrighted at Washington. This
list is known as the Catalogue of Copy

Government Movie Shows
THE government even provides free
moving picture shows-shows that are
commendable because they do not con-
tain the Nick Carter brand of plot SO
prevalent to-day. Twenty-three films
were made for the Agricultural Depart

school-houses, churches, and county fairs
by department representatives. They
covered the following subjects:

EFT us assume that there is something
you wish to know. You wish to
raise baby, a goat, radishes, hay,
- or chickens. Maybe you want to
learn how to trim rosebush, what to do
for your health, or what good is hop-toao.
Whatever line of information has ex-
cited your interest, the chances are that
you might 60 farther and do worse than
to seek your knowledge at the hands of the
celebrated United States government.
When you learn thing from the gov
eminent, you not only get it easily and
inexpensively, but you get an authorize
tive statement. In the agricultural de-
partment, for example, there are more
experts than can be found in any college
in the land You can have the benefit of
their definite knowledge for the asking,
or for the price of cigar.
Members of Congress often mail out to
their constituents lists of so-called farm
ers bulletins, and there is scarcely man
or woman in either city or country who
would not find something of interest in
this list. But congressman also send out
copies Of their speeches, and many people
who don't care for the speeches fall into
the habit OF throwing both classes of
matter into the basket.
Find Little Bulletin to Read
IN so doing people overlook lot of good
stuff. There are more than 700 of these
little farmers bulletins, and they are not
confined merely to the matter of growing
things in the ground. Here are just few,
noticed at random on the list:

and quite a number stood in the
aisles to hear Hon. Harry V. Nc
Chesney, of Frankfort, expound the

crowded around him to shake hands
and to welcome him to our city.

accomplishments of our great Pres

prosperity and plenty to vote for

Farm Loan law recently passed by
Congress, also the Federal Reserve
Banking law and the eight la
