Give the Farm a Name

Many of the farms of Connecticut have been named, the title taking form from some natugal characteris- tic or from an historical or literary source. Advertising value of dis tinctive name is a point not to be overlooked by the shrewd farmer.
 Now, it seems, the movement for naming farms is becoming nation wide. The following arguments for naming the home farm were issued under the name of the Kansas State Agricultural College but they are equally applicable in other states.
 '1n town the houses are numbered as the convicts in prison. In the country the home may be known far and wide by some significant name if the farmer but wakens to his op- portunity. It win be guide to the traveller; and may go down in history even as the name of Mount Vernon has done.
 'sThe farmer should take no risks of having his farm designated by the public in any manner as the Old Smith Place."
 Having once chosen a name, the farmer should announce it to the world, He may have it on his letter heads, and envelopes, but he should also have sign as the business man of the city has.
 'tThis sign may be in the form of an attractive Gateway, built of stone and arched, oyer the entrance with lettering of stone. Or where farms are electrically lighted it may be built in such a way that it may be il-- luminated at night. But if either of these plans is too elaborate the sign may be painted in bold outstanding letters upon the barn or sign board"

The economic situation Is so desperate and food supplies so scanty that the Georgiaus have ordered 100.- GOO persons, mainly Russian refugees without employment, to leave the city of Tifiis. About 45.0oo workers in the oil fields of Baku have been ordered by the Azerbaidjahese to leave the city because there is no work for them and food Is scarce.

Some Frozen Deserts

Ice creams are peTnapS more sdC- isfactory frozen in a homemade freezer than are ices. The thicker the cream the smoother the mixture. If used for Sunday dinner the ice cream will bet better if frozen in the morning and set aside well packed with salt and ice to "ripen" before serving. The flavor and smoothness of cream is greatly increased if the sugar and water are boiled together and cooled and the cream scalded. Here are some inexpensive recipes which all the family will like. They are recommended by Miss Maud E.. Hayes, home demonstration special ist for the Extension Service of Con- necticut Agricultural College at Storrs:

 FROZEN CHOCOLATE

A Game for Children

The Extension Service of Connec- ticut Agricultural College has de- vised a game for children. It is called "Guides to Health, Growth and Strength of School Children" The object of the game is just what the name implies.
 The rules of the game are printed on an attractive little card that is punched ready for hanging on the bedroom wall, or anywhere else that the boy or girl needs it for reference. The rules are simple but if persisted in are guaranteed to help boys and girls develop into strong, healthy men and women. Here are the rules of the game.
 .sDrink at least one pint of milk every day.
 "Eat fresh or dried fruit every day
 "Eat some vegetable dish every day (spinach or other greens ire quently).
 "Eat cereal with milk for break fast.
 'sDrink milk -or cocoa-never tea or coffee.
 'sLearn to like whole wheat and oatmeal bread.
 "Drink at least four glasses of wa ter every day Gone glass before breakfast)."
 All of these rules have to do with the diet, so five other rules called "Health Rules" are included in the game. They are:
 "A full bath oftener than once 8 week.
 Brush teeth at least once every day.
 "sleep long hours with the win dows open.
 "Play part of every morning out of doors.
 "A bowel movement every morn. ing"
 That is all there is to the game and any child can do it. Schoo teachers who want to help promote the plan can obtain copies without charge by writing to the Extension Service at Storrs, Conn.
