Don't waste feed because it is
cheap. Conserve!
More Trees Should BE planted.

''More time and effort should be
given to planting shade trees and
other ornamentals,' says Director
Garcia of the agricultural college.
Even though the growing OF shade
trees or other ornamental SHRUBS
does not as a rule become a source
of direct revenue, they certainly
add to the comfort and beauty of
the home and school grounds,
avenues, driveways and parks, and
also add to the value of the sur
rounding property.
1t is true that If we were always
to measure the value of shade trees
in dollars and cents there is many
tree that would never be planted.
1t takes some care, work and mon
ey to grow a good shade tree sue
cussfully, especially in some OF our
New Mexico localities where water
is limited or very expensive, but
man is beauty loving animal and
the effort is we'll worth while.
Spring is the best time to plant
shade trees, but the practice of
planting shade trees in the spring
and forgetting them during the
summer usually results in either
dead or stunted specimens the fol-
lowing spring. Trees are grateful
plants and will respond and grow
if given the right treatment, but
one should not expect them to get
along without care, water or cultt-
walton. Water is king in New
Mexico and reasonable amount
of water is absolutely necessary to
produce a satisfactory tree.
Beating Dad at His Own Game.
Il remember distinctly the pleas
iure | once had of beating dad in a
game of checkers" was a statement
recently made. In these days some
of the boys are setting out to go
their dads one better in other ac-
tiVities. In a certain community
in San Miguel county. number of
boys organized a pig club and Sc
cured registered pigs that had been
immuned against cholera, through
the efforts of the county agent. The
gains they made in comparison with
the other hogs on the farm and the
enthusiasm of the boys had their
effect on the fathers. Two of them
have already abandoned the use of
the scrub sires and declared in
favor of nothing less than pure
bred sires of good quality. That is
beating dad in a way worth while.
The Home.
Milk Is the best food for children.
Put pint bottle of milk in each
child's school lunch box.
The gasoline engine attached to
he washing machine will do a large
and leave the housewife
with plenty of time for
other duties.
When getting ready for spring
house cleaning, it is well to re-
member that a long handled dust
pan and mop wringer will prevent
much STOPPING. A vacuum cleaner
saves the dusting of heavy rugs If
his is out of the question, carpet |
sweeper will save much hard work. |
A dustless mop with oiled or waXed |
floors saves endless scrubbing
President j, f. Howard, of the |
American Farm Bureau federation,
said in recent address: 1.-THE |
foundation of America, the very /
leart of America, is the farm home.
Il we are going to build up agri- !
culture, we must give our first at |
ention to the farm home where we ,
'eally live. I am not going to give |
lp until every farm home in the |
is as good as any other |
nome; until every rural school is
is good as any other school. We
ire never going to solve the prob
ems of agriculture nor the prob,
ems of the nation except through
he farm home"
