FARM NEWS

This Little Pig Stayed Home" is
the name of a new motion picture by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
which calls attention to the losses
caused by hog cholera. Copies OF
the film are available for use in 'ag-
ricultural meetings where 1T is de-
sired to spread educational infor-
nation on cholera and its proven
ton.
What the home management spe-
cialists in the Federal Extension
Service are trying to do is to help
farm women perform their great
variety of duties with less 'eXpendi-
ture of energy and time. If some
household task can be done in one
hour instead of two, and with less
physical effort, by the use of labor
and time saving equipment, extern
sion agents have tried to bring that
fact to farm women in an interest,"
ing and impersonal way.
Here is at least a partial list of
the responsibilities of farm wo-
man, some of which, at least, dis
tinguish her from her city cousin.
They include her housekeeping, her
material care of her family, and her
responsibility to herself, her family
and her friends for mental and splr-
itual growth. She is usually man
ager of a small farm business such
as poultry raising, the home dairy,
or the garden. AS farming is true
partnership business, she is the far
mer's business partner, planning the
work with him and deciding with
him where the money earned shall
be placed to the greatest advantage.
"This," a student of relations in
farm homes remarks, "giVes her an
especial opportunity for progress
and for happiness, provided she can
find time to think about it construe-
lively"
Cabbage heads the list of Iitamin-
fresh vegetables available in the
colder months. 1t need not be cook
ed the same way every time it is
served; in fact it need not be cooked |
at all, but be used for slaw, or take
the place of lettuce when that al
green-leaf vegetable
cannot be obtained. There are many
good ways of serving cabbage so the
family will not tire of it. Turnips
and carrots supply xitamins, and
are among the stored root crops on
hand nearly all winter. When grated
and used raw in salads they are es- \
pecially valuable. Spinach is in
many markets during the winter
and is an excellent source of Vita
nins. Onions, both raw and cooked,
nay be used. Potatoes TOO contain
me or more yita1nins hut need to be
by other vegetables
Ind fruits.
Maintaining the farm work horse
n healthful condition during the
winter is the first start in fitting it
or spring work. The horse should
lot be so fed during the winter that
t becomes fat and soft. On the other
Iand, poor care during the winter,
esulting in loss Of weight and vi
atty, so Weakens the horse that it

The nearer your dish closet is to
your sink, the fewer steps needed to
put the dishes away after they are
washed. An ideal way is to have
the dish closet in the connecting
wall between the dining room and
kitchen, adjacent to the sink on the
kitchen side. Clean dishes are taken
out in the dining room, and used
ones are passed through the closet
to be washed and put away without
an unnecessary step.

Mr.. Gibbs has found many enc

After the hide is removed from
the animal the meat is shipped to
Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia,
or Wilmington, where it readily
finds a market at 25c apiece.
Another angle of the muskrat
industry is the improved marketing
of the animals taken dead. Many Of
the trappers of Dorchester county
are no longer selling to the dealers,
but are having the hides tanned and
sell now directly to the garment

The margin of profit in the new
