ASKING YOUTH
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

"A GE is always asking youth,
4 \ Asking favors, that's the truth
What, you ask, does age desire?
If you'd know, then ask a sire.
There are favors, certain ones,
Sires are always asking sons.
Sires are asking sons to play
In clean and decent way,
Seeking pleasures, but the kind
That will leave them pure of mind,
Brave of heart, and strong of will.
Purer, Drawer, stronger still.
Sires are asking sons to spend
Time, before the time shall end,
For their hours of study, too,
Doing what they need to do
That their future may be made
Fruitful with some honest trade.
Sires will labor, sires provide,
Sires will walk that sons may ride,
Asking, as each father delves,
Sons they help to help themselves.
These the favors, this the task;
Does 1t seem so much to ask?

Forcing Plants

A bed heated from the bottom by
means of pipes, iues or fermenting or
ganic matter is used for seed germina-
ton and plant growing. 1t is used for
ing garden crops in order to have them
mature early. An unheated frame is
used to carry half hardy plants over
winter for planting the next spring
or when only slight protection Is
needed.

BARN NO LONGER is
SNOWFLAKE OF FARM

Feminine movement and general
increase in education may or may
not be responsible but it is certain
today that the farm barn, long the
most carefully built structure on the
American farm, today is of no more
importance than the house.
This emergence of the farmhouse,
for years a neglected feature on
many farms, into a carefully design
ed and cared for building, is en-
phasized in a discussion Of the res
idential value of the modern Amer
ican farm, in the Farm and Fire
side magazine for May. Farmers, as
we'll as their wives, are in many
cases realizing that the farm is cap
able of being an excellent place to
live today, and not merely place
of hardship and work without rec
reation.
"An item of Importance" says the
magazine, 'is the residential value
of farms. This concerns the farm as
a place to live, for agriculture is to-
day both a business and a mode Of
life"
Right along with the value of a
farm as a productive tract of ground
the prospective farm buyer today
considers school, church and social
facilities of the neighborhood, neigh
bors and the general healthfulness
for his family, says the magazine.

NOW FOR THE BULLFIGHT!

! We're in old Seville. We can see
that there is something unusual 60
ing on. It's only a little after mid
day but the merchants are closing
their shops and putting up the shut
ters. People are rushing hither and
thither. Taxis, private autos and
the few remaining horse-draWn car
riages are cutting corners and speed
ing. Crowds of people are coming
in from the country.
Oh, yes; it's bullfght day! The
center of interest is the plaza de
Toros" or great bull-ring. OF course
we must go to the bullfght! Being
tenderhearted folks, we will not en-
joy it-but the friends back home
will want to know the truth about
bullfghting. Is it as cruel as it is
described? Do the best people-in-
cluding ladies and girls-go? Is the
sport dying out? And so on.
Yes, we simply have to go, in spite
of ourselves. Like many other things
in Spain, bullfght has to be seen
by al Tourists, even though it is
distasteful. Tickets are in great de-
mand and nearly all of them have
been bought up in advance. The
great amphitheater seats about 49,
900 people but it will not hold all
the "aficionados" (which is the
Spanish slang for FANS" The seats
on the shady side are the favorite
ones. We cough up about $5 each
for ours, as we have to buy them
through the scalpers.
We had expected that the bullfght
would start right off-but no, there
is a lot of rigamarole first. Every
seat is filled and the standing room
is a solid mass of syarthy faces and
straw hats, with occasionally one Of
the big broadbrimmed Spanish hats.
We look in vain for the thousands of
women and girls, in their black man
tillas, high combs and rich shawls
whom we have all read of as attend
ing bullfghts. The truth is they are
not here. There are a few women
present, but they are rare excep-
tions, just as they are at prize-fghts
in our country.
We must remember that bullfght-
ing is not just sport; it is so cere-
mOnial that it borders on the religi-
GUS. 1t is a sacrificial offering of
blood. The Spanish are a simple
people and they do not separate their
religion and their everyday activi-
ties as we do, nor do they stop to |
analyze what is religious and what |
is not. They are governed by their
instincts and by old customs
theirs not to reason why"
A big bullfght is probably the
greatest spectacle in the world. It is
a gorgeous pageant, a solemn ritual,
an epic drama and popular diver-
sion involving extreme courage and
skill-with tragedy expected. 1t is
not sport at all-for there is moth
ng sportsmanlike about it. It is a
horrible, shocking, sickening eXhi-
)ition of foolish bravado and brute
riolence. Such contests between
)easts and human beings were stag
ID from early times by the rulers,
is a political move, to appease the
)opulace, give the msomething to
ak about and keep them from
linking that they had any rights

$4,000 NEW TREES
ON STATE LANDS

AS a beginning, in the refor-
estatiOn of idle lands in Della
ware, the State Forestry Com
mission has made a most aus
picious start. Already, 45,600
trees, two years old, with the
exception of black walnut
plants have been distributed
among eighteen persons being
sold to them at a reasonable
rate, below the actual cost of
the trees.
Norway Spruce was the va
riety in demand, with Red
Pine, Scotch Pine, japanese
Larch, European Larch and
Black Walnut ranking pTacti-
cally as named.
At this time the active Off
cials of the State Forestry
Commission are busy getting
the state nursery near Milford
started. This is a plot con-
tanning three acres and has
been surveyed and staked off
for the seed beds. It is pro-
posed to plant 10000 seeds
each year, if the demand war
rants, as the seedlings will
not be available for replanting
for a couple of years.

HOW TO WASH SILK

Silk manufacturers have given
considerable attention to the matter
of dyeing their products in such a
way that they can be washed. While
it has been found possible to use
certain dyes that will withstand
high temperatures, the silk itself
suffers if put into too hot water.
Both colors and fabric come out
best when lukewarm water is used
for washing.
The Bureau of Home Economics
of the United States Department of
Agriculture gives these directions
for washing silk garments of any
kind: Use lukewarm and neutral
soapsuds. Do not rub hard. Squeeze
and work the garments in the suds.
Do not twist the fabric. Rinse
thoroughly in water of the same
temperature, and remove the water
finally by squeezing and patting be-
tween dry towels. Dry as quickly
as possible, but never in the sun.
Silk hose should not be irOned, and
many other knit silk garments do
not need pressing. For crepe de
chine and other woven silks, use a
warm, but not hot, iron, and pro-
tect the fabric with cheeseclOth.
The fabric should be evenly damp,
but not wet. To keep pongee silk
from spotting, iron it dry.

HOW DO PROTESTANT AND
CATHOLIC BIBLES DIFFER

There are Sc books in the regular
Protestant Bible. The Catholic Bible
contains the &c books of the Protes-
tant Bible and seven books in addi-
ton. The seven extra books in the
Catholic Bible are: Tobias, Judith.
Wisdom (or Wisdom of Solomon)
Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, I Maccabees,
and II Maccabees. The Old Testa-
ment of the Catholic Bible also con-
tains chapters and parts of chapters
which are not in the Jewish editions
or in the Protestant Bible. Since dif-
ferent translations are used there
are naturally many minor differen-
ces in the texts of the two Bibles.
The Catholic Bible is the result of
selections made by the Council of
Trent (1545-63) which enumerated
the books which should be consider
ed as sacred and canonical" by the
Catholic Church. Seven of the books
enumerated by that council are
omitted from the Prot ,stant Bible
because Luther, Calvin. and ether
early Protestant leaders rejected
them as not being canOnical and in
spired.-The Pathfinder.

STRAWBERRY JELLY WITH
ADDED PECTIN

Strawberries make good jam or
preserves, used whole, but the juice
alone will not "jell" like many
other fruit juices, because it is de-
ficient in pectin. There is a way of
remedying this difficulty, if you are
fond of the delicious flavor of fresh
strawberries in every form. Pectin
may be added, the Bureau of Home
Economics says. You can extract
the pectin yourself from apples or
citrus fruit, or you can buy the
commercial kind. If the berries are
especially lacking in acid, 1 tea
spoonful of lemon juice may be ad-
ded for each cup of strawberry
juice just before the jelly test is
reached. The lemon juice also
helps to keep the bright red color
Directions for making the necessary
pectin may be obtained by writing
to the United States Department of
Agriculture.
