Too Little Attention
 Given Oats Production

1 Too Little Attention
 Given Oats Production Oats rank next to corn and wheat in crop acreage and value in the Uni 1 ted States. But, notwithstanding | this, less attention has been given to the production of oats than to any other important grain, so that yields cften have been unsatisfactory and the crop sometimes unprofitable, say specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. The essentials for success in oat production are
 WeIl-prepared land that is reten- tive of moisture and fairly fertile. Good seed of suitable varieties, thoroughly cleaned and graded and treated for smut.
 Early seeding with a grain drill.
 The harvesting of the crop at the proper time.
 Careful shocking and stacking so as to- preserve the crop from injury by weathering.
 Clean thrashing.
 Directions for making the grow ing of oats more generally profitable are given in Farmers Bulletin 892. Asparagus is one of the earliest and most wholesome vegetables and should be grown in every home gar den where it can be produced suc- cessfully, say specialists of the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture. As canned product aspara- gus is one of the best, because it retains it's flavor better than most other vegetables.
 Suitable plantings are necessary to unite the parts of farmstead into a pleasing, homelike whole, say spec ialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Trees are used for windbreaks, as frames for the buildings or background for them, and to give shade. Shrubs are needed in abundance to hide partial ly the foundation lines of buildings, support their corners, give reasons for turns in drives or walks, and to screen unsightly objects. Native trees and shrubs and those known by trial to thrive in the locality are the best to use.

MINTOL which not only contains Menthol, Camphor, Oil of Eucalyptus and many other healing and anti septic oils but also contains germici- dal properties which kill the grip or influenza germ. If MINTOL is ap- piled to the nostrils, it sterilizes the nose and acts as a preventive as well as a cure for colds and cattarrh.
 If you will apply little MINTOL about the size of bean, to the back of the tongue it will sterilize the throat and relieve hoarseness, coughs and all throat troubles. When ap- piled externally to the throat and chest it will break up congestion and prevent or relieve Group, Whooping Cough and Pneumonia.
 1t is not necessary to use old-fash- toned blisters which are often times either very disagreeable in odor or cause soreness and annoyance to the patient and those attending them. MINTOL will be found the most effective, modern scientific treatment for all inflamed conditions. A jar in the home will protect the whole fam fly from Coughs, Colds and often times prevent Pneumonia. If your druggist cannot supply you we will mail you a jar on receipt of price 35c, soc and $1.25. The Home Re- lief Laboratories, Boston, Mass. For Sale by Geo. E. Frink, Falls Village, Clarence H.

for advice or pleasure?"
 "You are very learned boy" said the Elf Man, 'I am proud of your acquaintance"
 "He knows lots and lots," said Little-Girl proudly.
 ooh, what I know" explained Big-Boy modestly, "I was taught at school. Our teacher explains things to us, and she teaches us the way to express ourselves. She tells us not to be afraid to use big words in the proper place because she says we shall never learn younger"
 The Dictionary Man was much in- terested. ''Now ben-e-fac-tor for in- stance," he said, "is a big word. What does it mean?"
 The Little-Girl didn't know. Big Boy wasn't quite sure about it. The Elf Man thought it was a neck muff1er.
 The Dictionary Man shook his head. "Do you all give up?" he asked, proud to be able to show his superior knowledge.
 "Yes," said the Little-Girl. ,"Y-e-s," said Big-Boy slowly-he didn't like to be gotten the better of by word that he should have known.
 The Dictionary Man rustled his leaves-which was his way of laugh ing.
 "Well, my dears, it means one who confers benefit, according to my friend, MT. Noah Webster. All chil- dren who raise food and tend gar dens faithfully confer benefit on ! others. MT, Webster is my benefac.

Brother Wind & the Dictionary Man
 Little Girl -Who-Lives-In-T -The-Low- White-House, and the Boy-on-the- Observation-Disclosures, and the Little Green Elf Man met in the very center of the old garden.
 Little-Girl had skipped out on the porch and down the steps. She had hopped, one-two-three, down the little path that led to the world on the other side of the fence. Little Girl hopped because she was so happy. The1sun shone and the white clouds raced one another across the blue sky. The tall sunflowers turned laughing faces to the sun. They were indeed tall sunflowers-almost as tall as the sunfowers in the gar den of the little U. s. School Garden Army soldier in Richmond, Va.-the sunf1owers that won prize. And the chickens-who like sunfower seed quite as we'll as children like ncurishsing oatmeal-looked long, ingly at the big flowers as they swung in the breeze. .
 Brisk friendly Brother Wind swept through the garden paths and across the flower beds and dared anyone to have a race with him. He was in 8 gypsy mood for he lifted Little-G Girls white apron and whirled it across her eyes, coaxing her to play Blind Mans Buff with him. He whisked her short yellow curls about her face until she looked like a little Eskimo girl in a short curly fur cap. Yes, indeed, Brother Wind was out for a lark. But no one had time to play with him except the leaves, and they led him a mad race. They rose and fell, and floated out of his reach and hid in fence corners until he lost patience and blew some of them over the wall, and off across the meadow.
 Brother Wind did not like to be "It' all of the time. It is pleasanter to change about and let everyone have turn, as children must learn or be counted selfish, and surely no School Garden Army soldier wishes to be selfish
 So Brother Wind decided to take some seeds for play-fellows. Borne on the wings of Brother Wind seeds of flowers and vegetables began a strange journey that was to take them far across meadows and fields and gardens and land them in a new home in the soft warm earth many miles away. Brother Wind and the birds often take seeds on long jour. neys, and find new homes for them as all children of the United States School Garden Army know. Chil. dren travel in railroad trains and automobiles, but the seeds travel by wind and bird
 Now that Little-Girl had escaped the clutches of Brother Wind, she soon found herself safe and snug right in front of the little browr gate with the yellow slats that divid ed the garden of Mumsy Dear anc Daddy Dear from the vegetable gar den of Big-Boy's mater. Big-Boy called his mother "Mater." Big Boys brother, who was at college said that Mater is the way to say mother in Latin. So, you see, WI are always learning something new.
 Little Girl stood in front of the

Rabbits Cut Meat Costs;
 Market the Surplus

One resident of Kansas City, Kan, raises every year 300 to 400 pounds of rabbit meat for his own table. It costs him only to 10 cents a pound. There are an increasing number of people in this country who, to a greater or lesser degree, are cutting the high cost of living in the same way. Besides furnishing the home table with plenty of cheap meat, the rabbit grower can make money by marketing the surplus animals.
 A high-school boy in Iowa who breeds registered rabbit stock raised and sold enough rabbits in 1918 to clear more than $1,200. An Ohio farmer sends 400 pounds of rabbit meat a week to city restaurants, yet is unable to meet the demand.
 Rabbit raising, either to supply the home table or the market, is steadily increasing in the United States. In the older countries rab- bits have long been a valued source of cheap meat. The Bureau of Biological Survey, United States De- partment of Agriculture, has recent ly issued bulletin on rabbit raising in which the various breeds and their care and feeding are discussed Recipes for the use of rabbit meat are also given. Farmers Bulletin No. 1O9O may be had free from the Division of Publications. .r .

 In supplying feed to fowls, there are three kinds of constituents which should be present in certain fairly well fixed proportions if the desired results are to be obtained most econ omically. These constituents are mineral, nitrogenous, and carbon aceous, all of which are contained in corn, wheat, oats, and barley, but not in the right proportions to give the greatest egg yield. In addition, some animal feed and green feed should be supplied.
