PESSIMISM TABOOED.
BY DIR. L. +. Bowen.


This sunny worlds a fine world,
If you will let it glow;
A merry world, a CHEEKY world,
If souls will make il so;
wouldn't exchange this old Home
Star
For Venus, Mars or Jupiter.
This worlds flower garden,
If you have eyes to see;
The odor of its roses
Is good enough for me;
Hope everywhere eifulgent blooms
| love its Nurseries and its tombs.
doubt if other Planets
Have such congenial bowers;
If Orion or Arcturus
Have piny woods like ours;
With forest balms and ocean breeze,
| ask no odds of Pleiadea.
This old home worlds kind world,
If your own heart is kind;
It's full of splendid people,
And never hard to find;
In every land, in every cline,
They grace the good old Summer
Time.
Our world is bright with sunshine
To eyes that look around;
The Godward sides the bright side,
And easy to be found:
| pity that old croker's plight,
Who cannot see Gods stars at night.
They claim some worlds are bigger;
Surprising that they be.
The world that has an Eastern Shore
Is big enough for me;
Il fills the bill; would not stray
To the Zodiac or Milky Way.
The Universe is radiant
With worlds of every size,
But none of them swing closer
To the verge of Paradise;
And cheer we up, We sons of men
Earth's Eden's yet to come again.
This worlds no place Tor slackerS,
And all that sort of thing;
II is a grand arena
TO do your bit and sing;
With all its smiles on land and sea,
This worlds been mighty good to me.
a place for happy children,
And happy old folks too;
No sense in being peevish,
And grumblesome and blue;
The drone that has no sense of mirth,
He is an outlaw on the earth.
This world has holy visions,
TO hopeful pilgrims given;
II borders very closely
Along the marge of Heaven;
The many Mansions and no night
At evening time il shall be light.

THIS Is THE MONTH

To gather sap.
To order nursery stock.
To watch the wood and coal piles
dwindle.
TO help the egg factories" to get
going full blast.
TO start tomatoes and cabbage in
hot beds or in boxes in the house.
TO supply green food for the poul-
try An oats sprouter is ideal; steam
ed clover is also good.
TO keep the houses warm after ex-
ertion in the cold Lack of care may
mean serious loss.
To burn brush. See that all the
trash is gathered from the fields and
lots.
To keep record of eggs laid.
Such record many times is most
interesting and full of surprises.
To spread the accumulated manure.
Better get il out now than to wait
until next month when the spring
rush starts.
TO make sure all harness and i'm
plements are in shape to go into the
field. Next month you will want
every minute for blowing.
To spend some of the long even

it, and you will have more regard for
their teacherS.-Farm Life.

Boys and Girls Club Work

There is still ample opportunity for
any boy or girl in Sherburne county
who wishes to enroll in the baby beef
club. Those wishing to do so should
notify the county agent at once. Work
has just been started on the develop
ment of a pure-bred dairy calf club.
This will consist of the following re-
quirements:
First-The boy or girl must secure
a calf and feed and care for the same
under the supervision of the county
agent and the state club leaders.
Second-The calf must be a pure
bred heifer calf. It may be of any
dairy breed desired.
Third-The calf must be cared for
by the boy or girl until it becomes a
mature animal.
Fourth-It must be shown at the
county fair three consecutive years.
1t is necessary that each boy or girl
be given to understand that the calf
so raised by them is to be their own
property and not to be in any way
attachable by the parents or credi-
tors of the parents. Arrangements
can be made with the banks to furnish
the money to buy these calves if ii
is so desired. This means that nc
parent or boy or girl can say that they
cannot afford to take advantage of
this opportunity because they have not
the money, as no money will be re-
quired of them if the individual is
sober, intelligent, Industrious anc
honest. The purpose of organizing
the dairy calf club is twofold: First
1t furnishes the boys and girls ar
opportunity to become directly inter
ested in farm activities in a response.

dante and Waltz, Elsa; reading, Stella
Schumacher; chalk talk, John Kayak;

March. After the program the quilt
which had been donated the band boys
by the ladies of the guild was dis
posed of, Fred Smart of Livonia Sc
curing it. The room was then cleared
and short time was spent in dancing.
The band boys are grateful indeed for
the liberal patronage shown them by
the public, and wish to especially
thank the ladies who donated the
quilt as it was the means of bringing
them SIS. We trust this will not be
the last program they put on.

Zimmerman School News.

Two weeks ago an hour was used
to clean the school yard. When we
got through the yard looked rather
we'll, except for the ash pile in front
of the building, which we hope the
school board will have removed. AS
reward for our good work we we're
given all the lemonade we could drink.
We have been pretty proud of that
yard ever since until last Thursday,
when two large trees were blown
down. Now there's more to clean up.

are glad, but become little more
serious when we realize that examina-
tons come before the end Of school.

BY 80 doing the boys and girls become
more contented with farm life. They
learn to appreciate the merit of good
stock and that a large percentage Of
the joy Of life is derived from the
possession Of property of which they
can be exceedingly proud. At the same
time the boy and girl is receiving a
knowledge of feeding and manage
ment Of livestock that few adult far
mers have been able or willing to ac-
quire.
Second-The calf club furnishes a
means of introducing into commune
ties pure-bred dairy cattle on very
cheap and economical basis, and in a
way that will make their introduction
permanent and profitable. Few farm
ers, once they realize the merit of pure
bred stock, will be willing to see the
pure-bred animals leave their farms;
consequently the foundations for a
pure-bred herd will be started on the
various farms where pure-bred dairy
calves are cared for by the boys and
girls.
All parents who are interested in
having their children enroll in this
club work should send a notice to the
county agent that he may call and
give them personal interview.

to the community. A splendid pro-
gram is being prepared which is to be
especially entertaining. Even if you

pack your lunch and join the rest in

Soy Beans.

Soy beans are very popular as a
heterogeneous supplement- to ensilage.
BY planting to soy beans with the
corn, preferably with a soy bean at
tachment on the corn planter, the
yield of ensilage per acre will be
greatly increased and the food value
and palatability of the food will also
be much greater.
Many farmers complain that the
soy beans do not grow high enough to
cut with the corn binder. This situa-
ton is not due to the fault of the
soy beans but rather the fault of the
farmer. Poor land will successfully
grow only poor farmer, hence do not
expect good crop of soy beans or a
good crop of corn from poor land.
Even where the land is good, and
where soy beans have not previously
been grown, the seed should be inocu-
lated when planted.
If proper precautions are taken, and
the farmers are careful to see that the
necessary requirements are met, there
is no reason why every farm in Sher-
burne county should not grow soy
beans successfully. It is slipping over
the details and neglecting to do the
things that ought to be done that often
causes disappointment in the results
achieved.
The varieties of soy beans best
adapted to sherburne county are as
Follows: For seed, Wisconsin Black;
for ensilage and forage purposes, Ida
San, Manchuria and Chestnut, prefer
ably Ida San.

Sherburne County Agent.
