YEAR OLD EDUCATIONAL

with the courage Of its convictions
announced the beginning Of uniqu1
educational experiment. It consisted d

local county agent, in short. ThI
town was Strawberry Point, Claytoy
county. The man hired was c. II. Obyq
a 1916 graduate Of Iowa State CollegeN
The experiment has more than paid, as
concrete results show.
From this experiment farmers Of
Strawberry Point have gained: 12 alfal-
ia patches started, compared to twp
last year; two carloads Of lime applied
to those patches; two car loads of high
grade and purebred Guernsey cows and
heifers shipped in and five Guernsey
bulls placed at the head of herds: all
grade bulls in the community weeded
out and replaced by purebreds; a COW

twenty rural school meetings where
dairying was discussed: last and fore !,
most, the school attended by as high as
twenty-five boys who had quit school
and who otherwise would never have
attempted more schooling These boys
organized the county for the first time
for corn and pig club work this year.
IF the agricultural adviser never
does another thing for me, he has re-
paid all I gave toward his salary by
teaching my boy in his school," says
one farmer in the community. Il never
could tell my son a thing about farm
work before Now he's continually ask
ing me questions. That's worth great
deal to me that cannot be measured in

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully
il you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut Oil (Which
Is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any,
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
In. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and'it leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
Of the family for months.

TABLE REFUSE IN IOWA
WOULD FEED 1900
HOGS EVERY YEAR

Eighteen thousand hogs, worth al
least half million dollars, could be
raised on the garbage thrown away
each year In Iowa, figures the extern
sion veterinarian at Ames. Besides
this huge saving, cleaner and more
sanitary cities would result from such
a system of disposing Of necessary
garbage.
Conservatory, the garbage thrown
away from each town Of 5000 people
would feed from $50 to 200 hogs a
year." he says. granting that already
that much garbage in towns Of 5000
and less is fed to hogs. The estimate
is also low enough to take into ac-
count the fact that war economy has
cut down the garbage supply. Prac-
tically 100000 people in Iowa live in
towns of 5000 and above. The gar
bage from these towns would thus
feed an average Of $4,000 hogs a year,
worth at least 100000.
The plan is not new. Kansas City
feeds $4,000 year from her garbage
Des Moines is starting the plan. Fort
Dodge last year successfully fed q
large number Of hogs from her gar
bage. Manhattan, Kan, town of g.
600, feeds 200 hogs year from her
garbage.
One of the best systems, the Ames
veterinarian believes, is for. the city
to pass an ordinance requiring people
to put their garbage in covered cans
separa ting all glass and tins from ii
and then selling to one or more men
the privilege of collecting it for hog
feeding. Hogs thus fed must be fin
ished for the last month or so on corn
for the best finish, he says.
Utilization of garbage for feeding
animals will save the people In the
cities an important sum of money an
nually and contribute materially to the
local food supply.
Dweliers in small towns and even in
the suburbs and on the outskirts Of
the large cities, in many instances also
could help meat production Many
vacant lots provide suitable site-fer
a hog pen which will anoy no one and
some Of these lots are large enough to
grow green feed to aid in fattening
pigs. While the average family will
not have enough garbage to fatten u
pig, several families who jointly build
pen and purchase one or two pigs
can fatten them co-opera lively at lit
tie or no additional expense.

Of administering this compound is not
altogether easy, 1t Is suggested that
the treatment should be given under
the direction Of veterinarian.
The usual method Of administering
is to give about one fluid ounce divid-

dram capsules about one and one-halt
