WALKING is BEST HEALTH
AID FOR WINTER WEATHER

With the coming of cold weather
/ taking exercise should not be fore
gone. 1t is needed more now than
ever. With the advent of winter the
appetite for sweet and greasy things
increases, and most people over-eat.
To utilize this amount of food, plen-
I ty of exercise in the bracing fresh air
is required.
Among the best exercises and the
one which is within the range of ev-
cry one, is walking. Five miles a day
is not too MUCH for the average per-
son, and seldom such weather condi-
tons occur as to make this impossible.
1t is not well to walk so rapidly or
so fer as to induce fatigue. 1t is not
advisable to walk in the face of a
strong wind if it can be avoided. Those
who are not accustomed to walking
should begin by going short dis
lance each day, preferably on fairly
level ground, gradually increasing the
distance and speed.
The president of the American
Walkers Association gives this ad-
vice on the proper method of walk
ing:
walk upright, shoulders back, chest
expanded, allow arms to swing freely,
step out with a snap. Walk with the
hips, not with the knees.
"rhe slow, haphazard, often souchy
gait of the ordinary citizen is not
walking. 1t is poor imitation that
gets him nowhere, and is of little or
no value as health builder.
"How different is the walk of the
practical pedestrian gliding along
with long, even stride, head erect,
chest expanded and arms swinging
freely in perfect rythm to each thrust
of the opposite leg. Covering dis.
tances with little effort that to the
average person would be quite impos.
sible at the gait that surprises the
casual observer, he finds his walking
a pleasure second to none.
He visits places of interest i'm
possible to reach by trolley or train,
traverses roads through the most
beautiful scenery, climbs up hills and
down dales, and roams through fields
and woods inaccessible even to the
automobilist and the cyclist.
an addition, he fills his lungs with
pure, inyigorating air, sends his
blood plusing through. his veins, car
rying fresh life and vitality TO every
part of his body"

LAWS FAVORED BY
MISSOURI FARMERS

The Missouri State Board of Agri-
culture recently asked its crop cores
pondents to express their views as to
needed legislation. The replies show
the greatest demand for changes in
the present road laws. Ninety farm
ers place this subject first. Second in
order is the request for a pure seed
law, ga correspondents answering to
this effect. Sixty mention the need of
dog law. Thirty-nine are of the
opinion that the school laws, especial
ly those relating to rural schools,
should be amended. That there is a
need for some system of farm Gre
dts under State control is the opinion
of 33. Better protection for the quail,
or Bob White" is asked by 80 farm
ers, many of whom suggest a closed
season of from three to ten years.
Another suggestion on this subject is
to limit the number of birds that may
be killed by any one hunter during
the open season. Next in order of sug-
gestions for farm legislation come
some provision for farm organization,
a bureau of marketing, support of the
county agent law, pure feed law, and
a stallion law Other suggestions men
toned are better fertilizer inspection
regulations, changes in road drag
ging law, changes in revenue laws,
law making plain what constitutes
legal offence, law requiring hedges to
be cut and all obstruction at turns or
intersections of roads to be removed.

ADVERTISING THE FARM NAME

The Missouri State Board of Agri-
culture, in a new bulletin on EARN
Names" has the following to say as
to advertising the farm and its pro-
ducts:
"Once an appropriate farm name
has been chosen, there is need of good
taste, discriminating judgment and
wisdom in its use. Even when the
name is used as a trademark, used
commercially, it should not be in a
fashion to offend the best taste. The
name should be used for Identification,
rather than as an advertisement A
carefully lettered sign on the front
gate, the R. +. d. mail box, or on a
small board made for the purpose is
to be recommended Letter paper and
envelopes should always bear the
farm name. The farmer who neg
lects to use printed stationery is miss
ing a great opportunity to advertise
lis business. In this day and age no
farmer can afford to conduct his cor
reSpondence on blank stationery, or
worse still, on cheap, shoddy stuff
containing the advertisement of some
city concern. A small half-tone illus
tration showing the farm home, the
entrance where the name is displayed,
or even some of the leading products
of the farm, may be used as trade
mark and also on stationery. Many
prefer only the farm name, the name
of the owner, and the postoffice adj
dress. Some insist upon embossed
stationery. 1t matters not which is
preferred, the material should, if pos
sible, be secured through some local
firm, preferably the newspaper, which
can and should be of great assistance
in advertising the farm and it's pro-
ducts. 1t is worth much to have the
newspaper make liberal use of the
farm name, even in its news columns.
The local printing Office is not always
prepared to turn out enclosing or
perhaps certain half-tone work, but
can always secure the desired article
without increased cost over what the
customer would be compelled to pay
elsewhere"

Assistant Secretary, is the author, is

FARM NAMES IN MISSOURI

Missouri was the first State in the
Union to enact a farm name regis
tration law. The Missouri State Board
of Agriculture has just issued bull
letin, Farm Names" the author be-
ing W. l.. Nelson, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Board and who was also
the author of the farm name bill re-
ferred to. This bulletin, in addition
to giving the names of 1000 Missou-
ri farms, tells how many of these
names originated and offers sugges-
lions for the naming of farm homes.
The origin of the names of famous
places in other States is also given.
Many Missourians and others have
contributed to this bulletin, thus MAX
ing it of unusual value. In the list of
1000 Missouri farm names "view" is
used SO times, as in "Fairview" or
"Lakeview". Other popular basic
words are valley, used 38 times;
maple, "a; "oak", "a; "dale," %;
walnut" %; "side," %. Then there
is found frequent use of 'hurst", Old
English for thicket or grove, as in
"Hickoryhurst"; "foyle," Old English
spelling of the word "foil," leaf, as
in "Glenfoyle," meaning leafy glen

FARM INVENTORY SHOWS
PROFIT OR LOSS

Look over the advertisements in
your local paper during January
Most Of the merchants are advertising
sales, aren't they? Those sales mean
that the merchants are preparing for
another year of business. They have
either taken an inventory or are about
to take one. Merchants find inven-
tories indispensable in intelligent con-
duct of their business.
The inventory is just as indispen-
sable to the intelligent conduct of a
farm business as it is to the merchant.
In a general way the farmer can tell
whether or not he has made money
during the year, but unless some form
of inventory is made or some form of
records kept, no farmer can tell the
exact status of his business. The in
ventory, together with a simple sys-
TEN of bookkeeping will put the farm
on a business basis. In this way the
farmer can tell whether or not he has
made money on his various transac-
tons. By keeping records he will be
able to discover the leaks in his bus
mess and remedy them. Under the
usual system, on the average farm
there is absolutely no way of deter
mining the earnings of the different
activities.
Farmers who have not worked out
a system of farm accounting may re-
ceive aid and suggestions by address,
ing the College of Agriculture, Col
umbia, Mo.

DO YOU USE YOUR
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE?

The fundamental principle of all
public institutions is service. The
Missouri College of Agriculture was
founded to serve. Most folks have ar
idea that its service is limited to those
who attend the institution. AS mat
ter of fact, giving resident instruc-
ton is only one of the three important
functions of the College of Agricul-
ture. The other two functions are re-
search or experimentation and extern
ton. The experiment function is car
ried on to solve farm problems. The
solutions of these problems, however
are of very little benefit unless they
are given to the people. 1t is the bus
mess of the Institutional and extern
sion divisions to make practical appli-
cations of the facts discovered by ex-
detrimental research and to give them
to the public.
The College of Agriculture cannot,
of course, solve all farm problems but
there are very few problems which
arise on the average farm on which it
cannot throw some light To be of
greatest service, the College of A,gri-
culture must come in contact with the
persons for whom it is working. Any
one who has problems which he cam
not solve satisfactorily can probably
receive some beneficial suggestions by
the College of Agriculture,
Columbia.

THINK!

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win but you think you
cant,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellows will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you
are;
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself be-
fore
You can ever win a prize.
Lies battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

The general stir caused among the
allies by President Wilson's little note
shows that at least it wasn't ignored.
In general, alfalfa should be cut for
hay when the young shoots at the
bases of the plants first appear. If
these new shoots become long enough
to be cut off by the mower, the new
crop may be badly damaged. The
blossoms often appear simultaneously
with the new young shoots, but bios
SONS alone are not safe guide to the
time for cutting.
