Spraying Outfit.
The Farm Bureau is anticipating
purchasing power spraying outfit as
1t has been impossible to secure local
people to operate such machine In
the county and there is considerable
demand for this kind Of work.
Owing to the fact that the work Is
new and that it will be hard to get
about, the amount of work to be &C
complished this year will be limited
1t is the intention to lay out four
routes from Manchester. One through
Delhi.- one southwest, one northwest
and one northeast towards the Gree
ley district. Farmers who would like
to have their orchards sprayed lying
within these routes should get in touch
with the County Agents office at once,
stating the number of trees they have
and where their farm is located. The
cost of doing this work will be some
where in the neighborhood OF 25c
tree for two sprays. An effort will
be made to take the two most import
ant sprays SO as Ito reduce the num-
Der of wormy and scabby apples. II
is about time to spray now so don't
delay this information.

Pressure Cookers. There are three
types of pressure cookers, at three
different prices and you may get in
formation on all these at the Home
Demonstration Agents office We
have one kind, which may be borrow
ed and tried out il any one cares to
arrange for it. These cookers are not
only fuel savers, but time savers as
we'll. This week navy beans were
cooked in the pressure cooker in 20
minutes. another time an entire meal
was cooked in it in thirty minutes;
corn may be canned in it in one hour
instead OF the usual three hours pro-

this is worth your time to investi-

Flag Of Denmark.

The national emblem of Denmark,
which is the oldest in existence, dat
ing back to the thirteenth century,
was born of war, and the legend is
traceable to the fact. In battle be-
tween the Danes and the heather
Livonians, King Waldemar declared
that he saw a cross in the sky. The
news was Communicated to his troops,
with the assurance that the portent
was the sign of celestial aid. The
cross forthwith became the national
emblem, "The Danneborg." strength Of
Denmark, as 1t was called.

Farm Department

The Farm Bureau Is always pleased
to note the progress that new men in
livestock breeding are making in this
County. Charles Swindell of Adams
Township now has herd Of twelve
Shorthorns. Four of these are new
purchases, one roam COW Rose OF
Sharon" recently purchased from
Omaha, her first bull calf having sold
for $1,000. Another red COW CLARA

land" representing the Cumberland
strain and grand daughter of white
hall Sultan" A fourth animal red
heifer tracing to red "Lassie" in the
Butterfly" family on the dam side and
to the Lavender" family on the sire
side This is nice list of importa-
tons for Delaware County and it goes
without saying that Mr.. Swindell is
proud OF his young herd which he has
now established.
Damages From Dogs.
Any claims for damages by dogs
should be taken up at once. The law
states that affidavits should be pre-
pared and submitted to the Board of
Supervisors within ten days after the
damage occurs. Farmers of the coun-
ty should be governed accordingly if
they wish to obtain damages and this
law will be strictly adhered to by the
officers of the county and we should
not neglect our part Of it.
Announcement.
Have you notified the Secretary of
the Sheep Growers Association in re-
gard to your wool clip? This informa-
ton should be given to the Secretary
within the near future IL possible, In
order that the supplies may be secured.
The wool market has been badly de-
moralized owing to the releasing Of
wool which the Govrnment had pur-
chased and buyers are endeavoring to
keep down the price as long as pos
sible in spite Of the apparent demand.
According to the best authorities we
have only a normal supply Of wool
In this country, which in normal times,
that we import considerable from out
side sources This is the reason why
the price should be maintained. II
you wish the benefit Of this effort to
secure better prices align yourself
with the Sheep Growers Association
which will endeavor to market the wool
clip in this country into one consign-
ment. The shipment will be sent In
care Of the State Wool and Sheep

Useless Equipment,

A soldier just released from the
service was the guest of friends at
a dinner in celebration of his return

carefully selecting one knife, one fork
and one spoon. Showing the rest Of
the silver from him, to the surprise
Of his hosts, he remarked: TOO
much equipment to keep clean.

TURNING the Joke,

Now and then we meet men who

cause somebody has said mean things
about them? How slow we are to
learn that maple syrup beats vinegar

bees!
