A county agent in Colorado report
ed to the United States Department Of
Agriculture q convincing method he
has used in furthering the better-sires
work in his county. A butchering and
meat cutting demonstration was given
with two market hogs, one a pure
bred Duroc Jersey and the other a
scrub red hog. The hogs were weigh
ed, then slaughtered and dressed, and
weighed again. The live weight OF
each hog was practically the same
The dressing percentage of the pure
bred was about z per cent more than
that of the scrub. The good hog fig
ured to be worth $2.10 more than the
other. This was but fraction of the
difference in value between the two
hogs, however, as the pure bred was
was but half as old as the scrub hog
and had consumed much less feed.
The meat-cutting demonstration
was held in the auditorium Of the
county school, and more than 500 men
and women were present. The two
carcasses were cut into the various
cuts Of meat, showing the superio,
quality of the meat Of the pure-bred
hog.

folk, deprived of that which is dear as
life itself-personal liberty, doubtless
suffering physical infirmity, this brave
soul utters not one word Of COM
plant; seeks not one word of sym

That letter rings only with praise
and gratitude. Praise to God and
gratitude to man.
Between the lines, though, there is
a vague unrest; an unvoiced longing;
a half-stifed sob; a weary, fruitless
effort to understand the things none
of us understand; patient, persistent
hope that flutters its wings and beats
against bars of inexplicable and mex
orable circumstance.
Few seem to realize the meaning Of
separation from the usual or normal
course of human affairs, just the COM

The sense of isolation which grips
those shut off from such activity is
terrible.

Words of appreciation gladden., en-
courage and inspire.
There is something generous and
kind in the heart of~one who express
es them, something sweet and alto
gether lovely-the spirit of helpful
ness.
Such spirit illumined the pages Of
a letter which I received the other
day, strange letter in an unknown
hand. The writer, evidently an aged
or very nervous person, was one
from whose lot much of life's bright
ness had fled; for the address given
was that of a State hospital. There
was no signature. Whether purposely
or inadvertently omitted, I can only
guess.
That letter, pencil-written on scraps
of paper, inclosed in an envelope from
which another address had been eras-
ed, filled with expressions of gratitude
for solace and comfort found in words
of mine published in the Worcester
Democrat, I have placed in box of
treasured possessions.
It is blessed to know that one has
been instrumental in carrying cheer
to a lonely heart.
1t is blessed to learn of courage as
great, faith as strong, humility as sin

AGRICULTURE

Arkansas farm boys and girls be-
longing to agrisTrltural'e extension clubs
are learning to'maRage many of the
business and parliamentary features Of
their clubs withouf the customary
aid Of the county extension worker OF
other adult local leader, according to
reports to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Over one-fourth
of the clubs in the State. conducted
their elections ia 1922 unaided by the
extension agents; over 200 clubs held
their business nssetssgs without adult
help. ,t,.r
Members Of iso eliibs relieved their
adult leaders of the matter of seeing
that members kept daily records Of
the farm and home enterprises Alnder-
taken; this was looked after ~ the
clubs themselves and the books col
lected and turned over to the. extern
sion agents at the proper time. Thir-
|ty clubs were able to hand in daily
record. books from every member. It
is customary in boys and girls club
work for the county extension agent
to solicit and enroll members, but
over one-third Of the Arkansas clubs
managed this feature for themselves.
In one community in the State every
boy and girl eligible for club member
ship is enrolled.
These young farmers and home
makers raised $3,288 toward financing
club work last year, the largest a
mount contributed from any source in
the State, the total amount of county
budgets being $3,175 and the sums do
mated by business men totaling about
$4,000. OF this money, $1,700 was
used in sending selected club members
to agricultural short courses and 1919
in paying expenses of Judging teams.
Through such participatin in execu-
tive features of club work it is felt
that the boys and girls learned fupda-
mental principles of cooperation and
citizenship as well as better methods
Of production, conservation, and farm
and home management.
