The Meadow-Lark

Did you e'er hear the meadow-larks s
 love story,
 As he rises from dew-kissed abode, With throat musical. liquid and cheer
 full,
 And proceeds his hearts joy to un-
 load? Iris a clarion call that he utters, And ts full of the gladness of
 spring It ascends. descends, trills and it rip
 ples--
 Makes the valley with melody ring. An! he sings of nest that is woven Of dry grasses and deftly roofed oer With wild roses, white daisies and
 clover Faithful sentinels at the wee door. An! he sings of his mate and their
 treasure
 Five white eggs, brown bespeckled
 around, All so snugly and covertly nestled In the dew-kissed abode on the
 ground.
 A brewery in Mobile is making vinegar from watermelon juice, and the rinds. seeds and residue are used for cattle fodder.

The plans for the city demonstration agents call for the employment of work CTS who will cooperate with and work through organizations already in exis- tence or help to form new ones where none exist. They will assist the city women in their problems concerning food production, prevention of waste, and the conservation of food. The ac- tual lines of work include home garden- Ing, poultry raising. canning, drying, pickling, preserving and brining of fruit and vegetables. proper methods of stor- age in the homes to prevent loss utili- zation of leftovers, economic methods of buying, prevention of unnecessary waste in the consumption of food introduce ton of new foods as partial substit- tutes for meat and wheat flour proper diet, and other activities.
 In general these city agents are or for women in the state. In some states this work is made a special division, while in others it is a very intimate part of the regular home demonstration work. In some instances the city worker is appointed as an assistant to the regular county home demonstra ton agent who already has influence in the city. In other cases city agents are appointed independently. Where there is strong farm organization or eoun- ty farm bureau the agent may be off cially associated with the work of that organization.

is Of this species. Even mountain
