ToYMAKER OF CROMWELL

In Cromwell, Conn.,, we learn from
a random bit of comment, there is a
toy shop in which Miss Kate E. Ralph
has been a worker continuously since
1865. She will be so years old next
December, and she is still on the job.
Her daily routine involves arising at
4 o'clock in the morning, breakfast
ing at and meeting the whistle when
it blows. And this has been the life
of Miss Ralph since she was a girl
in her teens, but she has made it a
cheerful and contented life.
There ought to be a moral some
where in this meager outline of
biography. To some the. first thought
might be that the toy business is a
fairly strenuous occupation. Miss
Ralph meets the morning whistle
when it blows, and as nearly as we
can carry out logical reckoning it
must blow at just about o'clock.
Otherwise she would hardly have to
have her breakfast as early as 5. On
that conjecture it is easy to picture
toymaking in Cromwell as an occu-
patton that smacks of the ancient fac
tory days and a relentless burden of
toll.
A slaves life, one might conclude.
And yet apparently it is anything but
that. Unless an exceptional philos-
ophy is possessed by this veteran
who has been sticking to it without
cessation for GO years, there must be
something about the making of toys
that is conducive to health, long life
and serenity of spirit. And there
probably is. In making toys, we may
imagine, however simple the specific
employment may be, there is GER
tain chance for that "self-expression"
the spiritual values of which have
been so greatly emphasized in recent
years. One has the uHfailing salts
faction of creative work, and always
the reaching out for that pride which
comes from the realization of a good
job well done.
Anyway, the veteran toymaker of
Cromwell has had what may reason
ably be reckoned as a contented life,
and after sc years of it she still finds
it interesting and enjoyable at the
age of 80. The stimulating quality
may be in herself, it may be in her
lifelong vocation, or 1t may be in the
town where she has lived. Some
where is this story there must be a
valuable formula Should those who
seek health and contentment turn to
making toys, or should they move to
Cromwell? Or is the secret one of
those personal problems which every
man has to solve for himself?-Pro-
violence Journal.

Beasts of the Jungle

The African wild buffalo, according
to Martin Johnson, is one of the most
dangerous customers on the trail-"a

zebra is silly and stupid, "a first-class

he calls "the creature that God for

Grain Handled Had Value
of About $4,000 900.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
More than 5O0,O00000 bushels of
wheat, corn, rye, and other grains
were handled by 1881 farmers eleva-
tors reporting to the bureau of agri-
cultural economics, United States De
partment of Agriculture, for the 1926
81 marketing season. This grain had
a sales value of approximately $780,
100000, and was handled for approx
mately $4,000 farmers in the five i'm
portant grain-producing areas of the
United States.
The 1881 associations operating
the elevators reported paid-up capital
to the amount of $57 100000 and sur
plus of nearly S25,OOO.OO0. The total
investments in buildings and equip
ment amounted to nearly S60,O00,OOO.
The associations have about 100000
stockholders, most of whom are farm
ers Many of the associations buy
farm supplies for their patrons. this
business in side lines totaling nearly
$170,O00.000 last year.
The reports show that during the
1926-27 season about 81 per cent of
the associations paid dividends on
capital stock. In addition, about Is
per cent of those reporting paid out
patronage refunds to their patrons.
Considering these facts and also the
fact that SO per cent of these farm
ers' elevators had financial surpluses,
while but II per cent reported def
cts, there is justification for the
statement that farmers elevators as
q whole are in satisfactory financial
condition at the present time.

Gain of / to IL Bushels of
Corn Per Acre Reported
in Corn Belt.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
For five cents an acre, farmers In
the central portion of the corn belt
can treat their seed corn with a
chemical dust that will largely pre-
vent losses caused by seed borne
Seeding blight organisms, according
to A. G. Johnson, cereal pathologist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. In tests conducted by
j. II. Holbert of the department In
cooperation with Doctor Koehler of
the Illinois Agricultural Experiment
station and Doctor Reddy of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment station seed
corn treatment has resulted in in
creased yields of from l to II bushels
an acre.
Treatment Explained.
The treatment consists in mixing
the dust disinfectant with the dry,
shelled seed at the rate of two ounces
to the bushel. Doctor Johnson esti-
mates the total cost of treating a
bushel of seed, or enough for eight
acres, will not exceed 40 cents, or B
cents an acre. The dust is applied
with q mixing machine of the type
used in treating wheat with copper
carbonate dust for smut. A mixer
can be made at home If others are
not available. An ordinary barrel
or oil drum mounted on an axis will
serve as mixer, or barrel churn
may be used. The dust should be
thoroughly applied so that every kerr
mel is covered with a thin coating.
The seed can be treated any time be-
fore planting, but should be stored
In safe place because the dust is
poisonous.
Although numerous dust disinfect-
ants have been tested, only three are
commercially available at the present
time. They are described in Circular
34-C, "Chemical-Dust Seed Treatments
for Dent Corn" just issued by the
department and are known as Bayer
dust, Improved Semesan. Jr., and
Merko. Names and addresses Of the
firms manufacturing these dusts are
given in the circular.
The recent tests show that treat
ment with these chemical dusts bene-
fits diseased seed and does not injure
good seed. While treatment may not
increase yields from good, healthy,
clean seed, such treatment will kill

Hints for the Farm /.

|. 1.
Be sure to tie your wool clip with
paper Irvine.
Prepare comfortable shelter for all
classes of live stock.
Sow a row of summer radishes and
learn how good radishes can be in
August.
Fertilizer may be put on lawns,
rhubarb. asparagus and around per.
ennial plants.
Rotate your garden crops. Plant
root crops one year where surface
crops were the previous year.
Onions, the vegetable that was once
the outcast of society. have at last
been restored to the high position
they should occupy. Plant plenty of
them.
Farmers who aim for the bull's-eye
of safety in their farming methods are
the ones who will come out with Q
high score.
Watch for the first flight of plant
lice and shoot them quick with nico-
tine preparations. Get the first ones
and the rest will be easy.
Start onion seed early If you want
giant exhibition onions for the fall
shows. The Bermuda types must be
started early and transplanted.
Cauliflower should not be forgotten.
1t is delicious when canned to be used
for a vegetable, and everyone Is ia.

Good Yellow Corn Very
Needful in Mash Feed

Good yellow corn Is very important
in mash and scratch feed. Difficulties
experienced with coarsely cracked
grains have caused some people to
not use it as much as would other
wise be the case. When corn is
cracked, it should be sifted and the
finer parts put into the mash. The
remainder should then be used as
scratch grain. Moldy grain should
always be discarded. If fine parts of
cracked grain are not fed in the mash,
it will not be eaten and will mold on
the floors and other damp places
where fed. Corn can be used liberal
ly when properly balanced with other
feeds. II is rich in vitamines, oil and
carbohydrates but lacking in protein
and minerals.
