The aim of the live farmer is to
produce high quality products, wheth.
er he is marketing grain, fruit or live
stock. 1t is good business to market
milk and cream in frst-class condi-
ton, and this can be done by proper
care of dairy products, says Chris
Johnson, Dairy Manufacturing Spe.
cialist of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
To build up the dairy industry by
high grade products means that the
consumption will be increased and the
producer will receive a larger return.
The selling problem is not solved by
shipping the product to market, how
ever, but is built on a foundation Of
good stock and continual care of the
milk and cream from the time of
milking.
Good milk and cream Is sweet free
from off-aavors, has been we'll cooled
and is as palatable as when it is first
MIXED. There are several points to
consider in obtaining the highest quail.

The COWS must be kept in a clean,
sanitary condition. The stables should
be clean, with the manure taken out
every day. The cows udder should
be wiped with damp clean cloth be

HOW TO FRAME TAPESTRIES

The framing of tapestries is not q
difficult undertaking if ribbon is
chosen for the frame and the best
quality liquid glue is used in the proc
ess. If you desire to have the tapes
try mounted, picture-wise, use a
heavy cardboard for the mounting.
Glue the tapestry firmly to the card
board. Cut frame of narrow card
board; cover this with a harmonizing
ribbon, and glue the covered frame to
the tapestry. The cardboard basis
will make the frame stand out from
the tapestry, and if the ribbon has
been carefully selected 1t will set the
tapestry colors off to the best advan-

GLUJNG A FRAME
TO THE MIRROR

II you have in your attic some
pieces of pier glass, you can turn
them into beautiful mirrors by
cutting them with n glass cutter
and gluing across the top a bro
caded ribbon,9 hen framing with
cardboard over which ribbon has
been attached with liquid glue

tage, giving at the same time silk
en- finish to even an inexpensive tap
estry. N
Tapestries may be attractively
framed without the mounting by sim
ply glueing a ribbon-covered card
board frame to the tapestry. If you
prefer, the ribbon alone may be
glued firmly to the tapestry, dispens-
ing with the cardboard. Subdued
shades Of ribbon accentuate the col
ors of the tapestry, and are to be pre-
ferred to any of the more brilliant
shades. Ribbon is suggested because
it has the finished edge and can be
obtained in any width. Colored silk
may be substituted, of course, but the
edge must be turned in and glued
firmly to the tapestry.
The Needlepoint and Gobelin tap
estries are very beautiful, but ex-
remedy expensive, and quite beyond
he average pocketbook. But less
expensive tapestry can be easily CIV
en- the appearance of richness by an
effective and appropriate frame.
The real beauty and intrinsic worth
Of colorful tapestry are hidden un.
til the proper setting has been given
it--a setting Of subdued shade, ac-
centuating by its very sombreness the
rich coloring of a tapes try.
Liquid glue has made this framing
and mounting Of tapestries a simple
process and safe one, leaving no
cause for fear that the coloring may
be injured in any way.

START AT HOME

Farmers will always have periods
Of overproduction and depression SO
long as each individual thinks and
acts for himself without caring a
hang for what other producers arc
doing or planning. Rushing from
wheat to corn, or from hogs to dairy
ing won't solve the problem certain
ly. Always, enough farmers do the
same thing to spoil the party for ev.
erybody, including the steady farmers
who stick to one line.
The U. s. Department of Agricul
ture is doing splendid work In ge..
ting figures on the demand for and
current supplies Of farm products. Il
Is up to farmers to work together
through their farm organizations tn
apply this knowledge, If the jinx Of
overproduction Is to be destroyed.
After the crops and livestock have
been produced they can be marketed
In an orderly way through cooperative
associations.
But cooperative marketing doesn't
prevent overproductlon, as mas Deea
clearly shown on the Pacific Coast. 1t
will only be controlled whom major
ity of farmers learn to pull together
and to think Of agriculture as an In
dustry, instead of an individual, home
making institution. We have the ma
chInery for gathering the facts; the
radio Is ideal for spreading this III
formation.
What Is needed now Is an organized
effort on the part Of farmers to ap
ply the knowledge thus obtained to
their own business.
To get anywhere they must be or
ganized!
And the place to start is In your
local organization right at home!-

Tree to Decorate

With proper attention and care,
trees of small size will thrive in small
patches of soil where larger trees,
with their spreading root systems,
might languish, says the American
Tree Association, in discussing spring
tree-planting plans. The effect Of
these formally pruned trees is digni-
fed and decorative, and gives a fine
touch of green to street lined with
high-class shops or handsome houses
in solid rows.
To give riders an unobstructed
view new Paris taxicabs are modelled
like the old hanson cabs, with the
drivers occupying high seats in the
rear.

Stabbed in Abdomen

Herman MOfeld. formerly a resident
of POcahOntas, was stabbed In the alb

man at Poplar Bluff last Wednesday.
Mohcld was standing with his hands
in his pockets when the man provoked
a quarrel with him and stabbed him
before he could get ont his hands for
protection. While the wound Is seri-

blood poisoning sets up, physicians
say
