THE FARM HOME

One of the best ways to make the
farmers wife happy and contented
is to make her work as light as pos
sible. Women on the farm have
heavy work at best, but ordinarily
with small expenditure many
things can be done to tighten the
work and give them few hours of
leisure to relax physically or build
up mentally.
The people of today find that
they have been doing a great deal of
unnecessary work and they are now
attempting to simplify manual labor
and leave their energies free for
other activities. For years men
have had many devices and much
machinery to aid them in their work,
but comparatively little attention
has been given to the needs OF
women in this line and to the de-
vices which would help them in car
ing for house and family. The old
saying a mans work is from sun to
sun, but a woman's work is never
done, has indeed been true. Today,
however, conditions are changing.
There are many household labor
saving devices, complex and simple,
which enable the housewife to save
her time and her strength, to take
better care of her family, and conse-
quently to have a more comfortable
and pleasant home.'
Among the most important
factors for securing the best condi-
tons for work are well planned
house and a we'll arranged kitchen.
1t should also be borne in mind that
plain surfaces Of woodwork, furni- |
ture and utensils are more easily 4
kept clean than those which have
many curves and angles. Under

IOWA FARMERS
PROSPER DAIRYING

| Bremen county, Iowa, Is q typical
dairy county and one in which dairy
ing, largely with Holsteins, has
made its farmers prosperous and
contented. One of the buttermakers
of that county says that his creamery
alone is supported. by seventy-two
patrons, who each receive in return
for their cream from $50 to $110
monthly. A condensed milk plant
also affords an excellent outlet for
whole milk. This plant pays to its
patrons from $4,000 to $4,000
each month the year round
This county enjoyed more pros
perity than any other county in
Iowa." says G. o. Wander Veer,
cashier Of the State Bank of Waverly,
the largest bank in Bremen county
and one of the strongest in the
state. Il believe that this prosperity
is due more to the dairy cow than to
anything .else.'
''Dafrying as conducted in Bremen
county is sure get rich scheme, II
you judge by the appearance of the
homes and fences, the herds of live
stock and the well-kept gravel
roads," says F. D. Brownell in the
Winterset Iowa) Madisonian, in
commenting on a farm tour made in
Bremen county by farmers and bust
ness men of a neighboring county.
''We also got the impression that |
while dairying produced most of :
this wealth, it was definitely organ |
lied plan of dairying, manufacture
and marketing of the product that |
was esseitial to its success. Bremen
county people are all united on the |
slogan: "The Dairy Cow is the |
Mother of Prosperity"

THE POULTRY COMBINE

The Idaho-Oregon Poultry Mar
keting association has signed up
100000 hens in its recent drive for
members in the Boise valley, which
assured that section permanent and
efficient marketing for its poultry
products.
The drive to sign up the producers
was a success from the start as the
poultry men realized that the eggs
now being produced in that section
would glut the local market and re-
suit in ruinous prices. The associa-
tion grades and ships the eggs Of
its members in car lots to outside
markets, usually New York or Los
Angeles. In the past Idaho eggs,
carefully garded and packed have
often topped these markets in COM
petition with eggs from the Pacific
coast and the east.
1.-The upper Snake river valley is
now the only large egg producing
section of the west not served by its
own cooperative egg marketing as

Few people not in close touch with

of egg production. Bear

300 day-old chicks, and have 10000

"Dairying is the most profitable
system Of farming around Roscoe, S
Dak.," according to C. w. Christen
cashier of the First State Bank OF
that town. Both banks In Roscoe
have promoted dairying for the past
ten years and now our farmers are
milking from ten to forty cows on
each farm. The banks have not had
to borrow any money to finance
these farmers because they are help
ing themselves with their cream
checks"
Further evidence that dairy
farming pays is the condition of the
two strong banks of that town." COM
ments c. F. COLLISION of the Mime
apolis Tribune. Their deposits in
creased from 100000 in 1920 to
nearly 100000 In 1928.
Another instance of the good pro-
fits to be derived from a small dairy
herd is cited by a second South
Dakota banker, R. L. Stockstad, of
Kennebee, who says, Herman
Haessler. living near Reliance, was
able to make a remarkable showing
during the year of 1922 from six
dairy cows. From these cows he
sold during that year a little better
than $500 worth of cream. This
was an average of $50 a COW, besides
selling calves that had been running
with the COWS at $25 each. This
consider very good showing, due
to the fact that his cows were only
ordinary stock cattle, that were sell
ing at that time around $50 head.
A business man in the same
county says, "Dairying is the surest
occupation of the farmer in this
one best adapted to ma
lures conditions. With COW feed
ut about one-half the prices that 1t is
In states farther east, and dairy
products bringing about the same
prices, Edmunds county has every
advantage of economical produc-
tion."
What the dairy COW has done for
these South Dakota farmers she can
do for those in other states, where
feeds are produced abundantly.
Bingham county has a surplus of
good feeds, and can produce every
kind of feed necessary for the dairy
herd. A few years of dairying will
put our county on the map imam
oially, we will have fewer men bor-
rowing money to pay their labor bills
during the summer, more farmers
will be paying their grocery bills
promptly, and the banks will have q
surplus of money.

AGED WOMEN HOLD
 POLICEMEN AT BAY
Delay Eviction by Use Of Guns
 and Dogs

Chicago, Nov. S.--Barricaded in three-story brick building, two elderly whlte-haired women, aided by three bulldogs. yesterday after noon were successfully holding at bay with revolvers a score of police men and deputy bailifts seeking to serve an eviction order putting them out of their home,
 The two women, each with a pls- tol in her hand, stood at windows at the front and rear of the house threatening officers who surround cd the house, seemingly undecided what to do.
 "I'll let the bulldogs loose on you and if they don't stop you. I'll riddle you with bullets" one of the Grey-haired women warned as a policeman, more intrepid than his fellows, approached the front en- trance. He fetreatcd.
 The presence of the officers at tracted several hundred persons who blocked traffic in nearby streets. Prior to the arrival of the policemen, 19 year old youth, urged by a deputy bailiff 10 enter theb ulding and disarm the wom- en on promise Of a reward, ventur- ed to climb through rear window. One of the women sighted him and rushed toward him screaming, "IIl kill you"
 The frightened youth made a nasty leap through front window, landing on his head. The woman did not fire. The crowd cheered while tho deputy balliffs summon cd endorsements.
 The strategy of a policeman end ed the siege without a shot being fired. While his fellows made a noisy attack" on the front door, drawing the woman guarding the rear of the house to the assistance of her companion, he entered by the rear way and surprised both women.

KILLED LEADING
 BLIND HUSBAND
Wife or Sightless Inventor Struck By utomObiIe-Driyer Is Held
 For Manslaugbter

Boston Nov. 8.-Mrs. Carrie A. Fisher was killed yesterday while guiding her blind husband, Daniel C. Fisher, when she was knocked down by an automobile operated by Fred c. May, Jr., of the Dorchester district. Fisher collapsed after the accident. May, after rushing Mrs. Fisher to a physician who pro. nounced her dead, was arrested on a charge of manslaughter.
 Fisher became blind 22 years ago. He is 1T years of age and his wife was 63. During the time that he had been blind he has obtained patents on severals inventions. He invented locking device to foil automobile thieves, although it was said he had seen but one automobile. He is also credited with the invention of fens grinder and of combination lock nut which vibration tightens rather than loosens.
 Mrs. Fisher had been his "eyes'' to supplement his sensitive fingers. She found his tools and guided him about the city. Today she stepped ahead, but from behind a parked machine into the path of the one operated by May.
