Srit Your Teeth and Smile
(E. NJ. Brainerd)
II the world looks sorter gloomy-like
And full Of storms and clouds.
And you fail to find a friendly face
Mid al the passing crowds;
II troubles hard beset you,
IT failures bound to get you
Don't let these trials fret you;
Just grit your teeth and smile!
Perhaps you've lost a fortune large,
Perhaps the world seems cold; L.
Perhaps you've found that everything
That glitters is not gold:
Life seems not worth the living.
So much of pain it's giving?
Just you keep on forgiving;
Just grit your teeth and smile!
If gossip, lies or scandal
Come creeping to your ears,
And lying tongues keep stirring up
All sorts of doubts and fears;
Don't list to idle chatter,
TRUTH doesn't make such clatter,
Such things as these don't matter
If you grit your teeth and smile.
So keep YOUR faith. whatever comes.
And just keep smiling on;
Remember that the darkest hour
Is just before the dawn;
Don't waste your time repining.
81 Keep someone's sun a-shining,
You'll find the silver lining
If you grit your teeth and smile.

GULL THE FARM
POULTRY FLOCKS

Two-ffths of the Missouri farm
hens fail to pay their feed bill. I'm
less a hen lays from 60 to rs eggs a
year she is being kept at loss. High
priced feeds make it vital that only
good layers be kept. To rid the farms
of low producers each flock owner
should practice some method of GULL
ing, says T. S. Townsley Of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture. One Missouri county reported
that 38,329 low-producing hens were
culled from 1853 farm focks last fall
with an estimated saving of more than
$32, 900 for feed. Proper culling re-
duces the feed bill but not the egg pro-
duction.
The system of culling outlined in
Extension Service Circular 10, which
may be had free, is based up
on the fact that nature stamps the
hen with certain visible characters
tics which indicate the traits and hab-
its of the individual. As in the hu-
man family the hard working farm
wife is easily distinguished from the
social butterfly of the city, so in the
hen family certain visible characters
indicate whether a hen has been a
high layer or loafer. Anyone who
/ studies the birds closely may easily
recognize these differences.
The ideal time to give the flock a
complete culling is about the middle
of the melting period. This will vary
with the different focks but usally
comes in August, September or Oc-
tober. The characters which distin-
guish poor layers from good ones are
most evident between August l and
November /. At this time the birds
are being prepared for winter quar-
tiers and some reduction in the num-
Der is usually desirable. The hens
have finished the heavy season Of pro
duction by this time and the poorer
ones have stopped laying. The low
producers will not lay during the fall
and winter months and should be sold
The egg production will not be de-
creased.

thod of reducing the feed bill, get Cir

COUNTY EDUCATION
AL CONFERENC E

The annual County Educational Con-
ference will be held at the Farming
ton High School building August &C.
81, beginning at $3.50 a. m. on each
day. The program this year will be
of an unusually high order. A mum.
Der Of educators of statewide and ev-
en- nationwide prominence, featured
by former State Superintendent VIM
P. Evans, will address the meeting
In addition, there will be addresses by
number of the St. Francois county
elite. No county in the State is bet
ter prepared than is st. Francois
county to furnish capable program
without outside assistance. Many of
the city superintendent, principals
and teachers working in this county
are capable of holding their own any
where. Nc meeting is too big for
them to take prominent part in and
to acquit themselves therein with
credit to the county they represent.
The new compulsory attendance law
will be discussed from every angle,
and it is vitality necessary to the sue
cessful enforcement Of the law that
every st. Francois county teacher be
thoroughly familiar with it. In this
connection the County Superintendent
desires to call the attention of all
teachers to the fact that they are al
ways most solicitous when children
fail to attend school without a valid
excuse. He submits in all fairness the
proposition of whether it is consistent
for teachers to expect pupils to at
tend school promptly and regularly
when some of them use every sort of
excuse, real or imaginary, to evade at
tendance at teachers meetings.
The County Superintendent would
feel mortified to have any of the
prominent out-of -the-county speakers
address only a part of the st. Fran
co.'s county teachers when such speak
ers know that the law and the recog-
nized code of ethics demands that all
such teachers be in attendance. Such
indifference and such Inattention to
duty would surely be indefensible and
intolerable. When teachers during
the coming school year begin to send
in complaints thick and fast asking
that the new compulsory attendance
law be strictly enforced, it is hoped
that no teacher will have to be remind
ed that such law would be easier to
enforce had they shown the proper
disposition toward educational meet
ings and assemblies by attending
consistently and faithfully all such
meetings called for their benefit and
assistance.
Members of school boards are corr
daily invited to be present, to take
part in the discussions and to greet
and become acquainted with their
teachers at the conference.

MAKE THE NEW
BUILDING SANITARY

Farm buildings are an important
part of the farm, and should not be
built until plans have been carefully
made. In making the plans, SANTA
ton is very important item for con-
sideration. The greatest germicide
known is sunlight, says F. A. Meckcl
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture, and the more sunlight
which enters building the more SAM
tary it will be. tuberculosis and hog
cholera flourish in dark, damp, poorly
drained and ventilated buildings. Sun
light makes building lighter, warm
err and more dry and pleasant for live
stock and for the man who works in
the barn.
All buildings should have warm, dry
floors, and these should be easily
cleaned. Concrete is perhaps the ideal
flooring material, for it is quickly and
easily cleaned, and if properly laid
and surfaced it will be neither damp
nor slippery. Another advantage of
concrete floor is that it is non-ab-
sorbent, and does not provide breed
ing places for diseased breeding BAG
terra.
A large number of farm buildings
and conveniences have been prepared
and can be obtained from the Agricul-
tural Extension Service, Columbia,
Mo. A uniform of ten cents a sheet
is made to cover the cost of printing
and material. If contemplating a
farm building of any description,
write for Circular SO, which lists and
describes these plans.

MANAGEMENT OF
FEEDING LAMBS

Lambs bought on the market fol
fattening must be accustomed gradu'
ally to rich green feed like rape, soy.
beans or cowpeas, says the University
of Missouri College Of Agriculture
The method commonly used by sue.
cessful feeders in this State is to put
the lambs on comparatively dry
timothy or bluegrass pasture upon ar
rival at the farm. Here they are al
lowed to rest and fill up on grass for
couple of days. An abundance of
good clean drinking water should be
provided at all times. After day or
two the lambs are turned into the
corn field for about an hour, following
their morning fill of grass. They are
then returned to the bluegrass or
timothy pasture. This operation is
repeated for three or four days, and
the time the lambs are allowed in the
cornfield is increased about an hour
each day.
1t is not easy to drive a load or two
of lambs out of large corn field, and
there is always the danger of leaving
behind few which have strayed from
the main flock. To avoid this trouble,
fence off "sheep tight" a plot of two
or three acres. In this plot grow for
age to be used gradually to accustom
the lambs to their regular forage in
the larger field. This plan will be
found very convenient.
The lambs will eat the lower blades
of the corn and will learn to cat the
"down" corn. However, they will not
become troublesome by breaking down
the stalks in order to get to the ears,
if sufficient food is provided If it is
desirable to pasture off the grain in
stead of husking out the corn, it will
be necessary for best results to break
the stalks for the lambs. just enough
stalks should be broken each day to
furnish grain to satisfy the lambs.
If too much is broken down at one
time it will he wasted.
"No one ever made sheep fat by
stinting them" 1t should be remem-
bored that as the fall season adyanc-
es, feed becomes scarce and unpalat-
able. If the lambs are to be market
ed as fat lambs they should not be
forced to remain in the corn field too
long without some additional feed.
This is particularly true where rape is
not available. In central Missouri it
will be necessary about November l
to begin feeding some grain in addi-
ton to the forage. Many feeders al
so feed hay at this time, giving the
lambs each evening as much as they
will cat before morning. A few OF
the larger feeders begin feeding corn
silage about November /. AS much
silage as the lambs will eat up clear
in about an hour, is the right amount
to feed both morning and evening.
Provide plenty of salt and good wa
ter. Shed or barn shelter is not abso-
lutely necessary, but it is advisable to
have shelter to protect the lambs from
the cold fall rains.

NUMBER Of TRUCKS
INCREASES 100 TIMES

Ten years ago the number OF mo-
tor trucks in use was but 5000. To-
day there are between 1000 and
500 900, according to James p. Nasn,
Office Engineer, State Highway Ls-
partment, Austin, Texas. There Is
no reason why the number of trucks
should not increase next year in the
same ratio As in the mast" says Mr..
Nash. If the number of motor trucks
increases in the next ten years in the
same ratio as in the past ten years,
there would be over 20 900, 600 motor
trucks in use in the United States by
1922 Mr.. Nash pointed out
The motor trucks should he re-
garded as public utility, regardless
of who operates it. The motor truck
came into existence to get food and
supplies TO people. To add to the
cost Of motor transportation is to ia
crease the cost of living,

BURCH IS HARD WORKER
FOR BETTER ROADS

A. c. Burch. vice -president and
director of sales of the Clyde Cars Co
manufacturers of Clydesdaie trucks,
has been one of the most earnest
workers in the country on the good
roads movement which is now
spreading over the length and breadth
of the land.
Mr.. Burch advances an idea which
We believe should meet with the
favorable approval of every motor
truck dealer and owner.
After ali is said and done" says
Mr.. Rurch, the success of the good
roads movement Is entirely up to the
voters.
1--WE can have good roads commit
tees meetings. etc. without number.
But the final test is whether or not
the voters of the country will vote
money to build the roads.
Much of the preliminary work has
been done in a large number Of Sec
tons of the country.
Good roads movements have been
started, comprehensive plans for road
building laid out and this spring in
many sections these plans will come
up to the voters for final decision.
IF the motor truck industry, as a
whole-manufacture dealers and
owners--will get together as a unit
on the proposition they can have
tremendous influence on the result Of
thee elections.
This good roads movement is not
