Quires so much attention that the little
performer often hears very little OF
the music. The capacity Of children
for memorizing and performing suit

Generally speaking, they are better
performers than listeners, except
when listening to music they know.

Meetings to Discuss More Eco
nOmiCal Feeding of Livestock

A recent issue of this paper contain
ed an article discussing the need for
reducing the cost of feeding livestock
on the average farm. Considering the
large amount of stock raised in Shen-
andoah County it was thought worth
while to hold number of meetings
over the county to discuss the raising
of crops that will largely take the place
of the high priced feeds now being
used, such as eotton-seed meal and
ready mixed dairy feed.
The meetings for these discussions
will be held around the barns of the
men listed below and an hour spent at
one of these meetings may be the
means of saving you many dollars by
Producing your feed bill. The discus
sions will be led by men from the State
agricultural College who are special
lists along this line.
There will be two meetings held at
the same time but at different places
so attend the one most convenient to

Perhaps the most gratifying
thing in connection with the
showing is the splendid progress
made along this line in Virginia
during the last ten or fifteen
years. In 1907 when Mr.. 7. O.

first started Farm Demonstration
Work, he decided that two of the
things most needed in Virginia
were the production of home
supplies and the greater DIVERSE
fication of crops. The whole
program of demonstration work
was built around these two
things. AS the work has grown
and spread out over the whole
State it is indeed gratifying to
note that this program has
brought such splendid results.
