PIGS and CALVES
LAKE COUNTY BOYS AND GIRLS
TO ENGAGE In STOCK
RAISING.

During the war the services of
Americas young folks were enlisted
in cooperation with the government
for the purpose of producing greater
quantities of foodstuffs. Wan gar
dens awakened a new, larger interest
in the lives of many willing workers.
In cities, villages and on farms the
rake and the hoe played a large part
in helping win the war, and 10Y that
war is over this interest has been .di-
rected chiefly along the line of in
creased stock. raising. Many states,
through their county agents and
farm bureaus, are rousing an activity
of no little Importance to present
needs not only in this country, but in
foreign lands. The supply of oils,
fats and meat products saw a great
falling off during European HOSTILE
ties, and this government, through
its state and federal agricultural
agencies, set about redirecting these
efforts and interests Of young pro-
ducers along the line of stock rails
ing. Suggestions for pig clubs and
calf clubs were worked out and now
good results are beginning to follow
the inauguration of this wise cam
paign. Many counties in this state.
are organizing both pig and calf clubs
and the membership is growing at a
rapid pace. Here is a profitable
form of activity that must appeal
strongly to boys and girls on the
farm.
Nearly every rural school in the
state now teaches easy courses in ag-
riculture and such schools working
hand in hand with the local farm
bureaus and county agents can do
much towards awakening the inter-
est of rural children in raising and
selling better grades of hogs and
cattle.
Lake county children are taking up
this work eagerly. Already there is
a membership large enough to pro-
duce good results, and those most in
terested are purchasing their brood
sows and Holstein heifer calves with
the idea of entering the contests next
fall, and taking away some valuable
prizes.
The Lake County Holstein Heifer
Calf club has a present enrolment
of 35 with fair prospects for addi-
tional members. County Agent I. j..
Bibby is actively engaged in visiting
sales of registered stock for the pur-
pose of making purchases for mem
bers of the club. He will soon join
stock experts from the agricultural
college at Brookings on a trip
through Wisconsin and Minnesota
solely for the purpose of purchasing
animals with a milk record back of
them.
Surely this is a great work for our
county and the results of the efforts
of the boys aud girls will be keenly
watched for at the sales to be held in
Madison next fall. Stock raising is
already a noted industry in South
Dakota, but the idea to be worked
out through these clubs is the pro-
ducing of breeds having superior ex-
cellence.

fing is there at the sides and in the
front and in the back.
What shall we think of this new
device? Interesting surely-perhaps
step in transition. 1t may be that
thus we are breaking in upon a period
of crinolineS for which we have been
in a mood of anticipation for some
time. Or it may be that it is merely
a sport-a sidestep in the evolution
of fashion, indicative of nothing per-
haps save the fact that fashion, like
nature. is not smooth drumming pro-
cess, but depends for it's development
one the survival of the fittest.
Which VIII Win Outs
This season it is even more appar-
ent than usual, for there are an amaz-
ing number of inuences tugging away
for possession. Medieval ideals in
dress are still playing a strong part.
and there is every month or so re-
newed talk of the appeal of Grecian
self in a Grecian effect suggestive of
Athens at her zenith and then again
in something more suggestive Of the
Greeks in the days when they took
their clothes from their barbaric trib-
utaries and colonists And there is the
Moroccan and Algerian inspiration
launched by Poiret with a very strong
tug in another way. Russian effects
are tugging in still dlnerent dlrec-
ton. Russian boots have already
solved the question of cold weather

half dozen other tugs of other sorts

Meantime the hip putting has been
sponsored by well dressed women in
arls and in this country among
women who are marked for their
French frocks. 1t is a tendency that
is well worth watching.

OF COURSE. ALL THE LITTLE PEo-
PIE OF THE GREEN FOREST
HURRIED TO PAY THEIR RE-
SPECTS TO MRS. LIGHTFOOT.
And they really did feel glad. You
see. they all loved Lightfoot and they
knew that now he would be happier
than ever and that there would be
no danger of his leaving the Green
Forest because of loneliness. The
Green Forest would not be the same
at all without Lightfoot the Deer.
i.ightfoot told Mrs. Lightfoot all
about the terrible days of the hunt
ing season and how glad he was that
she had not been in the Green Forest
then. He told her how the hunters,
with terrible guns. had given him no
rest, and how he had to swim the Big
River to get away from the hounds.
Il know, replied Mrs. Lightfoot.
softly. Il know all about it. You see,
there were hunters on the Great
Mountain. In fact. that is how l hap

Forest They hunted me SO up there
that / did not dare stay, and l came
down here thinking that there might
be fewer hunters here. l would not
have believed that I could ever be
thankful to hunters Tor anything, out
/ am truly. l am.
There was a puzzled look on Light
foots face. What for?" he demand
ed. Il can't imagine anybody being
thankful to hunters for anything"
"Oh, you stupid" cried Mrs. Light
foot Don't you see that if I hadn't
been driven down from the Great
Mountain l never would have found
you?"
You mean never would have
found you," retorted Lightfoot. Il

YOU do. owe them the greatest hap

Happy Days in the Green

Forest.
These were happy days in the Green
Forest. At least they were happy ior
Lightfoot the Deer. They were the
happiest days he had ever known
You see, he had won beautiful, Slen-
der, young Miss Daintyfoot. and now
she was no longer Miss Daintyfoot
but Mrs. Lightfoot. Lightfoot was
sure that there was no one anywhere
so beautiful as she, and Mrs. Light
foot knew that there was no one SO
handsome and brave as he.
Wherever Lightfoot went Mrs
Lightfoot went. He showed her all
his favorite hiding places. He led her
to his favorite eating places. She did
not tell him she was already ac-
ouainted with every one of them. that
she knew the Green Forest quite as
well as he did. If he had stopped to
think how day after day she had man
aged to keep out of his sight while
he hunted for her he would have
known that there was little he could
show her which she did not already
know But he didn't stop to think and
proudly led her from place to place.
And Mrs. Lightfoot wisely expressed
delight with all she saw quite as if it
were all new.
OF course, all the little people of
the Green Forest hurried to pay their
respects to Mrs. Lightfoot and to tell
Lightfoot how glad they felt for him.
