Often a cowpath has been allowed to become

tradition has made the winding way an express

ROTARY AT LIBERAL

The establishment of a Rotary
Club at Liberal will be strongly rec
commended by the representatives
of the Dodge City club as result
of a visit to Liberal last week Of
President Heinie Schmidt, Secretary
Ross Bangs and Rotarians Charley
McCollom and Frank Cox. They met
with about fifteen of the Liberal
men whom they regard as the finest
kind of Rotary material, and they
are now urging District Governor
Ross Burns to get favorable action
on the Liberal petition.
Liberal is a progressive and grow.
ing town and it needs Rotary club
Rotary will give the men of the COM
munity a better attitude toward ev-
erything and will be building force
there as it has been elsewhere.
Z The Rotary club here would like
to be able to fraternize with other
Rotary clubs in this part of the
state, and Liberal is probably the
only town in this territory outside
of Dodge that is eligible at this time
For this reason it is the intention
here to make a special effort to gel
a charter sent to Liberal, and when
the club is installed there every Ro
tartan in Dodge City will want tc
be present.-Rotary Dodger.

VISITING

How often do you go visiting?
Perhaps you 60 only once year,
and then make regular spree Of
it. Perhaps you go much oftener
and take your visiting in hoeopathic
doses. At any rate you do not neg
lect your friends. You visit with
them at regular intervals. You en-
joy chatting with them and getting
their viewpoint on different topics
of the day. You talk with them and
exchange ideas. You visit and re-
ceive them in spirit Of friendli-
ness. Our society would soon dis
solve if this custom were lost or ig-
nored. Yet how often do you visit
your church, the place of worship,
the best place for interchange of
ideas on Christianity?
1t is still less often that one
church or Christian society visits
with another. 1t is our intention to
go on a visit next Sunday evening.
All who wish to go with US are cor
daily invited to do so. We meet
at six o'clock, and go from there
in cars. If you haven't an auto,
come anyway and we will make pro-
vision for you to ride. You can be
assured that you will not have to
walk.
Last Sunday night large crowd
saw our pictures and we want to
take just as large a crowd on our
visit next Sunday Won't you come
and help make that crowd? Remem-
Der, this is an invitation to you.
Cordially yours,
The Christian Endeavor Society, of
The First Presbyterian Church.

Methods of raising good calves that will develop we'll and show no signs of runtiness are. given by a South Carolina livestock owner in 8 statement to the United States De- partment of Agriculture. The farmer advises:
 1. Use purebred sires which have behind them an established record no guesswork. ...r
 2. Use purebred milk cows which are bred for production and which have proper points, such as deep udder, well-spaced teats, broad Hanks, deep abdomen, etc.
 8. Feed only warm milk while calves are young. Gradually begin feeding proper grain after the sec ond month. Do not allow them too much grass. Give plenty of pure water, and never allow exposure to rain or extreme cold wind.

Pruning Days Are Here

Pruning shears should be piled steadily at this season in order to have the task out of the way in time to prepare for the field work. Severe pruning of apples encourages the trees to make excessive wood growth, and delays fruiting. Young trees need only sufficient trimming Co keep the head well formed, and to clean out superfluous branches. All deadwood and about one-third of tho surplus live wood should be re- moved the first year, if the trees are old or neglected. The pruning of an old tree should be extended to cover three years.
 Thoroughness in spraying, accord ing to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, is abso- Iutely essential, and from now until the buds begin to swell is the time to apply the dormant spray. Use com mercial lime sulphur, 1 gallon of mixture to gallons of water.
 The Montgomery County (Md.) Farm Bureau Bulletin offers this advice to the orchardist: "H you want apples do your pruning with saw and shears; if you want firewood do it with an ax beginning about g foot above the ground" .e,'.:. >,

OBD V 1ouAOy AA11@~ .rt nf z: Floor Suited to Locality
 Cement floors for poultry houses arc championed by some poultry growers, while others declare a good dirt floor is the only kind to use. The fact is, poultry specialists in the United States Department of Agri- culture say, that there is no one best kind of floor. It all depends on the soil, and the use of the house as to which type is to be preferred. y af On light, sandy, well-drained soils . dirt floor is satisfactory, especially for small or colony henhouses. Such floors should be from 2 to inches higher than the outside ground sur- face, and it is advisable to renew them every year by removing the contaminated surface, down to clean soil, and to refill with fresh sand or nne gravel and earth. a4@. .#
 hftA board floor is generally used where the level of the floor in the house is from 1 to 3 feet above the ground surface, and in portable houses on land which is not well drained. Board floors harbor rats, and rot quickly, and should be raised some distance of the ground so that eats or dogs can get under them, and also to allow free circulation of air to prevent the wood from rotting.

 Without uniform standards for farm produce there is no recognized basis for the business of buying and selling, says the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agri- culture. Standardization of pro ducts gives seller and purchaser a common language and set quality upon which prices may be compared and fixed. Experience has shown that the products which are sold by grade find better market, bring better prices, and can be handled at less expense than those sold without reference to standards. Standards have already been fixed for many farm commodities, such as American Upland cotton, shelled corn, wheat,

Jail Turkeys for a Day
 To Find the Hidden Nests

A quick and easy way to find stolen nests of turkeys is to confine the birds from early morning to late afternoon. The laying hens will then go straight to their nests to lay the eggs which they are holding, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. When turkey hens have free range they nest usually in obscure places and often wander a half mile or more from home before they find a nesting place that suits them.
 If attractive nesting places are prepared about the barnyard, the turkeys sometimes lay in them. Such nests are easily made from boxes or barrels, or by scooping out little earth in the shape of shallow bowl, piling brush round it to satisfy the hens desire for seclusion. The nest most preferred by turkeys consists of barrel laid on it's side, in. which straw or hay is placed. When con fined to a breeding pen several tur- key hens may lay in the same nest, but on free range each bird usually makes her own. nest. Turkeys do not range far during cold weather. In the north, where the laying season often begins when there is still snow on the ground, the hens are more likely to select their nests near home.
