Ethel-26. Horace-33. Bright,
capable young people with good
ideals. Married five years One
baby. Sounds like the markings
of a model home, doesn't it? But
wait.
Like most modern girls, Ethel
worked before she was married.
She was the exceptionally eff
cient private secretary 10 a big
corporation man. Learned how
to tackle any job sanely. Vigor-
ously. with the minimum of waste
motion. Then she married Hor-
ace, a. rising young doctor, and
proceeded TO tackle houseworiI in
a. three-room modern apartment,
az she had tackled office work.
Homework had been a full sized
job for Ethefs mother and grand
mother with their seven and eight
room homes, their linen closets,
wash and store room, huge pam
tries and shelves of preserves.
But men had taken the punch and
the pride out of housekeeping for
Ethel by commercializing it's de-
partments. Men made her bread,
sewed and washed her clothes, did
her canning,
There had been kick to run
ming the office. It had taken all
Of Ethers gumptiOn and wit.
There was little kick, outside Of
sentimental one, in running a
house. 1t left her reserves I'M
touched. 1t left her with an al
most empty day and a quite
empty magma ton.
Then the baby came. Babies are

vague ideas, disorderIy methods,
undisciplined temperaments. But
Ethel wasn't that kind Of a. young

EXTENSION SYSTEM
OF RURAL EDUCATION
GROWING RAPIDLY

Expansion of the system for rural
education maintained through the
agency of the cooperative extension
services of the Federal and State
Governments is reflected in some de-
gree by the record appropriations
by Congress in support of the work.
The original Smith-Lever Act, eff
fective July 1, 1914, provided total
of $4S0,000, at the rate of $4,000 for
each State. Gradually these appro-
priations have been increased to $4,-
6O2,935 for the, coming year, which,
with supplemental appropriations
and an appropriation under the new
Capper-K etcham Act makes avail
able more than $7,OOO,O00 for Fed
eral aid to the extension work.
Explaining these Figures recently,
C. w. Warburton, director of extern
sion work, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, said that each
State and Hawaii now receives $780,
900 annually without requirement
that the State match this sum with
additional appropriations. The re-
mainder of the fund is divided
among the States in proportion to
the rural population, and with the
added provisO that the State must
provide an equal amount of money
for extension work in order to quail
ify for the appropriation. Actually
the States, on the average, do much
more than match Federal funds. For
the current year State appropria
lions were nearly double Federal
appropriations.
Comparing expenditures for extern
sion work with other activities, Di-
rector Warburton noted that the
Government spent approximately
ten times as much in aid of roads.
Extension activities cost at the rate
of about 81 for each three persons
on farms or about z cents per CAPT
ia for the whole population. This
amounts to One-twentietn of the
value of farm equipment purchased
in 1927, and to about One-fifth of 1
per cent of the value of last years
crops.

, excellent because the fineness of
the fat particles lends a smooth
ness to the finished dish. Less but.
ter is also required when evapor-
ated milk is used. For desserts,
condensed milk is an economy since
it contains the necessary sugar
content. Also the waste which is
almost inevitable in fresh milk can
be discounted in buying canned
milk since it can be kept indefn-
itely before opening the can and
it remains sweet in the opened can
if kept in a cool place much longer
than fresh milk.
A large can of evaporated milk
costs from eight to ten cents per can
containing 10 ounces. This can diluted
with equal quantity water will make a
full quart of milk. The usual price
of bottled milk per quart is IS
cents. At some special sales large
cans of evaporated milk are sold
three cans for a quarter.

KENTUCKY BETTER
LIVE STOCK TRAIN
VISITED BY 10000

mile trip, having made 81 stops in
81 counties. A otal of 10000 visit

the rolling barnyard" are described
by Wayland RhOads, field agent in
animal husbandry, in report fur
nished the United States Department
of Agriculture.
A purebred boar or purebred
ram was given away in each county
as the means of demonstrating the
value of purebred sires. This fea-
ture also is credited with bringing
out more visitors.
The train carried a carload of beef
cattle representing the different
breeds and a carload of dairy cattle
likewise composed of several prom
inent breeds. A third car was de-
voted to the advantages of purebred
rams in sheep production as illus
trated by good types on exhibit and
fourth car carried hogs of types
suitable for use in the State.

State College of Agriculture, show
ed the value of good breeding, feed
ing, and management in livestock
production The exhibits contained
lessons in pasture development, live
stock sanitation, and the feeding of
fran animals, including poultry.
There was also fiat car used as a
speakers platform
The sponsors of the train included
two prominent railroads, the College
of Agriculture, the Kentucky Bank
ers' Association, the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, and other CO.
operating agencies. The United

lions and pictorial matter used
