In spite of the Improvement in
the orchestra and the greater er-

Wilmington have remained approri-
mately the same. Wilmington has
had some of the best concerts that
could br given. and yet the receipts
have not nearly paid for the expense
Of these concerts. The Philadei-

certs. Very truly,

Many of the farmhouses throughout
the country are anything but convent
ent. This is due largely to the lack of
forethought when planning the house
or to the use Of plans made for condi-
tions entirely different from those of
the farm. To meet the requirements
of farm life the house must have the
thought of the farmer himself. and
those familiar with farm conditions.
When the farmhouse receives this at
tention there will result a convenient
home that will relieve the housewife
of much of her labor and add greatly

best farms, best homes, and hest corr
munitieS
The man of the country--whethsr he
is called dairyman or a farmer-has
always been ready TO follow new and
better methods when he was convinced
that by doing so It would result In
greater returns, not alone in terms of
money but in greater satisfaction or
enjoyment. Every year better farm
methods are followed in order that
the decreased cost of crop production
may reduce the art of maintaining the
dairy COW.
The so-called dairy COW of twenty
years ago would be stranger in your
well-developed herds. The attitude
that the people of the country take to-
wards education shows that there is
progress in every line of activity.
Never before have the dairymen
made such a close study of their cows
as at the present time not on account
of the increased cost of feed and the
greater returns from the factory. but
because they see that il is worth while
and that IL pays" Dairymen realize
that every phase of their operation is
becoming more and more complex.
They do not hesitate to call for assiS-
tance from every possible source. in
order that their problems may be more
easily solved
The average man that makes his
home In the country is fair-minded.
Naturally many of his problems are
different from those which confront
the men of the city. but he is always
there to do those things that will re-
suit in better methods when they are
pointed cut to him from reasonable
viewpoint. and he duly understands
what is wanted.

Senator AShurSt of Arizona says
that MS state is lacking snow and that
nor enough moisture has fallen to in
sure sufficient water supply. This
sounded strange in view of the fact
that the whole eastern part Of the
United States was pretty much buried
under snow at that time. Senator
Ashurst says that they have kept the
records in Arizona for long time and
for the first time in 200 years there
was no snow at Christmas time on the

Ashes for Garden.

In this day of great scarcity of pot
ash wood ashes are coming into their
own as one of the best fertilizers
known. Not one ounce of wood ashes
should go to waste in any home where
there is garden.
Keep a box large enough to hold sew
eral bushels of wood ashes, and into
this put the ashes from an ash pan.
Then. when the box is filed. sprinkle
the ashes over the garden. Potatoes,
grain, and all garden vegetables do
better by being fertilized by wood
ashes.
