ing how to sew and how to make
many pretty and useful things.
I must admit it was rather hard to
be patient to take small stitches to
begin with, but our leader was very
thorough with us and insisted we
should do it well. Thanks to her, for
we well know that "What is worth do
ing at all is worth doing WELL"
We began with small articles like
towels, handkerchiefs and needle
cases, then we made larger and hard
er articles, but were allowed to use
sewing machines to help out in max
ing them
Much to the pleasure of our moth
ers we soon had completed our dress
aprons made from pretty percale..
We were very proud indeed when
we first began wearing them to school
and could say eve" made them in our
Sewing club.
We have also had many good times
dainty "eats" after our meetings.

BY SPECIAL REQUEST
WILL REMAIN HERE.
ABOUT TWO WEEKS
At Valley House
Orleans, Vernon,
A GOOD LABOR INCOME
Farmers Account Book, Cow Test
Association, Good Markets, Di-
versified Farming all Play
Part

That farming is a real business
and when conducted as such, is found
profitable even in the dullest years
is well illustrated by a summary of
the business conducted on the farm
represented by the herd in the above
picture Mr.. Anderson's farm &C
count book for 1920 shows his farm
paid him a labor income for that
year of $2524, which represents the
amount he received for his years
work after deducting from his re-
ceipts, all expenses including labor,
changes in inventory and interest on
investment at 5 per cent. A close
analysis of this farm record reveals
the following secrets known to many
farmers, yet practiced by few. Mr..
of careful breeding and close study
of cow test association records. Hav-
ing kept a farm account book for
years, he has learned the necessity of
maintaining more than one major
source of income in order to rea-
lie the largest possible returns from
his farm?
Although Mr. Anderson's receipts
per cow were not any larger than
those of other dairies in the county
where records were kept, yet he had
four other sources of income vary
ing from $14O TO 5000 each with a
total of nearly $500 resulting from
sales of livestock, poultry and eggs,
maple products and crops. These ex-
ira incomes aside from dairy prod
ucts receipts were realized with very
little extra overhead expense such as
investment in buildings, land, machin-
cry, taxes and managerial services.
High Quality Products Find Ready
Markets.
An important factor in Mr.. Ander-
sons success lies in his ability to
produce products of first grade quail
ity which find a ready market at a
premium price. The product of the
dairy is made into butter and sold
to private trade, the products of the
sugar orchard are shipped to special
customers, surplus livestock because
of superior breeding and Cow Test as
ISOLATION records finds ready buyers
at attractive prices; in fact, all prod
ucts from this farm are marketed
with equal efficiency.
Believes Farm Bureau Worth While.
Mr.. Anderson is a firm believer in
the activities of the Farm Bureau.
He not only attends every meeting
of the organization held lin his com
munity, but is occasionally seen at
meetings in neighboring communi-
ties. Although realizing. one of the
best farm incomes of the farmers in
Orleans county he is ever ready to
receive suggestions leading to more
efficient farm management. In fact
his fine success and \ ability to put
practical ideas into use makes him an
example well worth the study of
many less successful Orleans county
farmers.
