FARM
THE WooDsMEN.
BY Elizabeth Foster Of the yigilan

BY Elizabeth Foster of the Vigilantes.
I started out to make a garden in
the forest, chiefly because the govern
ment told me to. The forest had been
here for years, and sc have I, yet
neither Of us had thought Of cherish
ing onions or cabbage In midst.
Charlie said I had too many trees
shading the garden, and that old
George from Rumford would come to-
morrow to cut down the two spruces
and the big birch. I hesitated; how I
hated to lose a tree, ever for the sake
of the garden! When one falls, I al
ways go into the house and close nv
ears. A very human friend has gone
and I feel subdued and mourner-li like.
Old George came early the next
morning; he sharpened his axe very
methodically, like a surgeon prepar-
ing for his trade.
Well, the boys have gone!" he re-
marked, beginning his usual country
gossip.
What boys, and gone where?" 1
inquired.
"All our lumbermen, picked ones, a
hundred strong" he answered. sail

And what for?" I still asked, won
dering what infantry or engineers or
air men could be SO quickly modified

"Oh, not soldiers" responded
George. Just lumbermen, gone to cut
down old English forests. For shin
building" he added.
"Old English forests? 2" I exclaimed.

tree.l Old English forests for ships?-

Grains and Grasses. Corn and
Vegetables.

Not all the time should be spent in
the live stock section, because there
will be splendid exhibits OF grains and
grasses. There will perhaps not be as
large exhibits of small grains this
year as previously, on account of the
poor quality of most of the grains last
year. However, we all know that it
IS only a question Of season, and we
can produce the best wheat that ever
grew out of the ground, and we also
know that this is a great wheat grow
ing country, and that it should con-
tinue to be one, and it will, if we use
the proper methods of farming, to
Keep up the fertility of the soil, and
keep down the weeds.
Inere is no question as to the pos
sibilities of growing all the various
KINDS Of grasses. Alfalfa, at the pres
emit, is perhaps producing twice to
three times as much hay as any other
combination that has ever been sown.
and the acreage is increasing by leaps
n bounds.
IT mas always been known that this
reg1on was adapted to the growing Of
all kinds of vegetables. but it is only
recently h a h growing of corn has
received the consideration it deserves.
While 1t is not expected that corn will
be grown in this region to the extent
and value that it is grown in the CEN
trail parts of the United States. Their
is no question however but that it will
become as important and valuable a
crop here as anywhere. The use Of
corn for silage, and also the value of
the crop In cleaning up the land is
understood and appreciated by all
VINO nave tried it for such purposes.
The exhibit Of vegetables at the
state Fair, has always been a wonder
to those from the outside. It is hard
TO realize that vegetables Of such size
and quality can be produced here.
Every farmer within a reasonable dis
lance should take it as a privilege to
pring In one or more exhibits, not
with the expectation of winning a
prize. but to increase the number and
variety, and also to furnish a larger
number for study by those who are
not familiar with the growing of such
vegetables n crops as can be pro-
Iduced.
Fine Arts.
The exhibits of cooking. sewing,
etc, Is always a wonder to those who
have never seen such exhibits before.
The school children of various town.
ships and counties make exhibits that
can be studied with profit, for almost
any length of time. Almost an entire
building is devoted to these exhibits,
n there are no end of attractions at
the various stands and booths, and
IN observing the interesting and edu-
cauona exhibits h a are open to all.

CAN YOU CAN?
(By Reinette Lovewell of the


New York City is full Of country
born young business women who can
and do can. Some of them turn the
trick with a fireless cooker and some
Of them on top of the gas range in
their tiny apartment Kitchens. They
do it after a hard days work, too.
And pay prices for the stuff they pre-
serve that is enough to make any
farm PERSONS hair stand right up on
end. But they believe it's we'll worth
the time and the trouble.
How about all the folks who have
vegetables and fruit right on their
own grounds which will go to waste
if it isn't put up?" This year not a
solitary string bean ought to be all
lowed to go to seed, not a tomato rot,
or a pea pod turn yellow.
Trot out all the fruit Jars around
the house, empty out the string and
tacks and coupons and make them
work. Don't miss the one on the cell
lar stairs, or the other full Of clothes
pins in the attic. There are rubbers
to be had at the grocer's and it is
good policy to get a fresh supply every
year.

the quickest way-no standing over a

out easily. Then cold plunge in a pail
Of water. Pack in jar, put on rubber
and cover and set in hot water on a

BY DOROTHY DIX.

| have received the following letter:
Dear Dorothy DIX: We are club
of ten bachelor girls who have de-
termined to take advantage of the last
lap OF leap year to pop the question.
How shall we do it? How shall we
go about asking a man for his heart
and hand in marriage? - Modern
Maids"
H'ml This is a difficult question
to answer. There is a complete
chronicle of how to lead man up
to the proposing point that has been
passed down orally, generation after
generation, from mother to daughter,
but no code OF procedure has been
formulated for the woman who means
to propose herself.
OF course it's going to be tick
lish job any way that it is done,
because men are no more accustomed
to receiving offers of marriage than
women are to making them. Both
parties are inexperienced. Even the
man doesn't know how he will take
it, and there are conservative indi-
viduals who prophesy that men will
be so shocked by the procedure that
they will say mo" as with one voice.
But this waits to be proven. Past
experience has not shown that men
are averse to the admiration of the
fair sex, nor that they turn deaf
ear to woman's avowals of her death
less affection for them. Startling as
the innovation OF marriage propo-
sal from a woman may be, the chances
are that man will first endure, then
pity and embrace.
My first suggestion to the leap
year girl who proposes to propose is
that she should be wary about choos-
ing the psychological place and mo-
ment in which to do the deed. There
are times when a man is rushed, or
tired, or hungry, when it is simply
counting disaster to ask him anything,
and when he would refuse a free
passport to heaven if it were rendered
him on a silver saiver.
Therefore bide your time and also
wait until you catch your man in a
melting and optimistic mood. Men
and women differ in their attitude to-
ward matrimony. When a woman is
happy she doesn't incline toward the
holy estate. 1t is when she is weary
and discouraged and wants some
mans shoulder to weep upon that she
yearns for a wedding ring, and will
marry almost any man who asks her.
Men, on the contrary, think of a
wife as an adjunct of prosperity, and
it is seldom that they make love ex-
cept when they are affluent. A wom-
an should be proposed to when she
is down on her luck; a man when he
is pushing his luck.
II will be temptation to the leap
year girl to propose by letter. This

Joe and Trix, Tip and Queen, Bess
and her two young daughters are en-
joying the winter at Riverview park
They are seven bears, children, big
brown bears, except Bess' two daugh-
tiers, who are little brown bears. be-
ing only year old.
That reminds me that R. L. Robert
son, the caretaker, asked me to name
the two little bears. Let's see, what
shall we name them? Um-m-m. I'm
not very good at naming bears.
I've got it. All the big bears have
little names. So let's give the little
bears big names. Well call the lit
tie bear with one foot chewed off
Gwendolyn. And the other little bear
we'll call Robertsona, after Mr. Rob-
ertson. Now don't forget their names
when you go down to see them.
Joe and Trix are in Information.
They sleep all night and all day, rolled
up in two balls in their cave. Joe
is only 4 years old. He was named
in honor of Park Commissioner Joe
Hummel.
The other bears are all awake, but
not eating very much these days; only
about four pounds of meat and a loaf
of bread day each.
Here's a cage full of wolves, great,
gaunt, restless gray fellows. They are
fed on bones. If they gave them
meat, the keeper tells me. they would
bolt it down too fast. But the bones
they have to chew little. And they
digest the bones fine. A bone that
would choke you is just duck soup"
for the wolves.
The coyotes live right next door.
They look like the wolves, only
they're smaller. Their principal
amusement is fighting. If fellow isn't
good fighter he has no business be-
ing a coyote. Some of them have
their ears chewed off.
Two wild bears live next door to
the coyotes. One of them is wicked
rascal. He keeps grumbling all the
time. About two years ago he bit a
chunk out Of Mr.. Robertson's leg.
Up on the hill in one compartment
Of the big round cage lives Bre'r Fox
All, a sad life is his. For in the next
cage are lot of brown bantam chick
ems and on the other side of him two
raccoons keep house. And all of
Bre'r Fox's slyness does not help him
to devise way to get those fat chick
ems and raccoons. He just runs
around his cage with his mouth water
ing and look of longing on his face.

Hon. the Blushlmg Maiden
Should Learn to Propose

will be a fatal mistake, because, ir
the first place, her billetdoux will
reach the man with his business let
tiers, and thus pass over to the cold
consideration of his stenographer.
Secondly, no American man is SEN
timental in business hours and during
that sacred period of the day no
woman may hope to compete in heart
interest with the price of stocks, or
wheat, or canned goods.
Thirdly, the long distance proposal,
whether made by man or woman, SCI
dom hits the bulls-eye. 1t lacks the
magnetism of personal appeal, of
trembling hands and anxious eyes and
quivering lips. Also it is easier to
write mo" than it is to say it, and
the woman who wants husband in
stead of somebody to be brother
to her will have to face the music
and make her proposal viva voce.
Different men, different manners.
With the bashful man the proposal
must be quick and sudden, 1t won't
do to lead up to the question poetic
ally and Economically, for that would
give him chance to run.
1t won't do to gaze wistfully into his
eyes, for that would embarrass him
into fits, or to assume tender atti-
tude, for that would make him feel
like fool. And so, your only chance
is to come right out suddenly with the
question and take the chances on his
being too frightened to refuse.
Then there is the laundering, blind
as-a-bat man, who lets a woman go on
loving him and embroidering his slip
pers and agreeing with everything he
says for years without perceiving
there is anything serious in her at
tentions. There is no way to wake up
these Rip Van Wrinkles except by
firing off red-hot proposal right I'M
der their noses.
Propose to a business man in a
business way. Ask for thirty days
option on his affections. Then put in
your time by showing him what a
good thing you are. Convince him
you can strengthen the firm by the
care you will take Of him and the
comforts by which you will surround
him in happy little home.
Point out to him the risks he runs
from the deadly danger of landladies;
the losses he sustains from differing
laundresses and bell boys, and if you
are sufficiently good jolier to make
him believe that two can live as
cheaply as one, your suit will be sue
cessful.
In case man says mo" and ad-
vises you to go off and marry some
nobler and fairer man than he, your
cue will be to weep. Many women
marry men because they are sorry
for them. Millions of men marry
women because they haven't the nerve
to see them cry.
Generally speaking, no man can see
woman weep for him mmoved. It
shows so much good taste and sensi-
bility in her that it goes to his heart.
He never blames her or thinks her
silly. Poor little thingl How could
she help it? And so no matter how
much man may be shocked at the
idea of woman proposing, he will
find extenuating circumstances for
her popping the question to him.
One thing, however, the leap year
girl must bear in mind She must
play fair, She should not propose
marriage to man unless she can
take care of him IN the same style
in which his father has been &C
customed to support him,
