PETER is REMINDED OF

XXTHEN Peter Rabbit reached the

a lot to tell Mrs. Peter. de was
so full OF all he had learned about
ShOrt-Tail the Shrew that ne just had
TO tell some one. and the only one
about was little Mrs. Peter. She
listened patiently. for in most mat
ters little Mrs. Peter Is the most pa
tienl person.
"And TO think that he nas been a
close neighbor all this time and
didn't know a thing about him J"
ended Peter.
"Huh 7" replied little Mrs. Peter,
Il don't see anything surprising
about that. There are more things
you don't know about and never
will know about. Peter Rabbit. than
ever you have heard or dreamed of.
That is why it is SO silly of you to
think you know all there is to
know"
Peter pretended not to hear, and
continued 10 think about Short-Tail
the Shrew. "He isn't a Mole and he
isn't a Mouse: he is sort Of halfway
between the two" thought Peter.

Soybeans With Corn Is
Sure to Reduce Yield

When corn ana soybeans are
planted together, the presence of
the sOybeans always reduces the
yield of corn, according to results
from a series of experiments con-
Quoted for the Ohio agricultural ex-
pertinent station by II. l.. BOrst.
Doctor BOrst also found that
when silage corn is planted thick
ly enough to produce maximum
yields, addition Of soybeans in the
row increases very little, if any, the
total yield OF silage The protein
content OF the silage is. however,
increased slightly, which improves
it's feeding value.
If the crop is to be "hogged
down." the practice Of planting the
two crops together is more desir-
able than 1t is when corn and soy
beans are grown for silage.
Better crops were obtained, Doc
tor Borst reports, when both plants
were drilled in rows. Results were
less satisfactory when the corn was
planted in hills.

r. v. Lockhart, Monroe, Route l,
Union county, North Carolina, owns
medium-sized farm of which he
cultivated ten acres himself and
has two tenants who cultivate an
additional 65 acres.
On the ten acres which Mr.. Lock-
hart farms himself, he grows corn,
hay, wheat, and oats. One acre is
in a garden and orchard. He keeps
five Jersey cows and 400 White
Leghorn hens. All the forage for
the cows and all the grain for the
cows and the chickens, except the
laying mash, is produced on this
ten acres. The two tenants grow
about thirty bales of cotton an
nually, but are required to produce
the food and feed needed. They
grow their own bacon; have their
own poultry and eggs and keep
cows to produce milk and butter.

Three years ago when the banks

borrow some money to finance him
self that year. BY August, he had
over $500 in another bank and all
his debts paid. He made money all

sells the products from his cows as
sweet milk, buttermilk and butter.
His 400 hens produce about 200
crates Of eggs annually, and he is

Plans for COrncrihs

For the convenience of the
farmer. working plans and bills Of
materials for a simple and mex
pensible cOrncrib and for a COM
biration crib and granary have
been developed by the bureau Of
agricultural engineering, United
States Department of Agriculture
Either is available upon application
to the bureau.
The cribs are Of frame cOnstruc-
ton and are rat proof. They have
middle driveways, removable ven
tilators and drying racks, and drag
doors. The devices for ventilating
and for rat proofing may also be
used in remodeling old structures.
The details of construction can be
applied in building cribs of greater
or smaller dimensions or of differ
ent types.

MEAL TIME

0T HAVE come to dread mealtime.
l. This one won't eat, that one
picks a quarrel with somebody, the
other one cries. It's a nightmare.
We have not had a decent mealtime
in the last two years"
"Why not? How old are these
chiIdren?"
"The youngest is eight and the
oldest is fourteen. The oldest is the
worst. She refuses to eat. No mat
ter what | set before her she turns
it over with her fork, shifts dis
dainfully, and says, L can't eat that
stuff"
What do you do when she does
that?"
1--WE done everything. I've sent
her from the table; I've told her she
had to eat it; I've done about every
thing except cut it for her. What
could I dO?"
"You could send her from the
table and tell her she would not get
any food until the next mealtlme,
and you could see that your word
was kept"
II did do that and it didn't work"
"How long did she go without
food?"
"How long? My goodness, you
don't suppose I'd let the child starve,
do you? 1t is easy seeing that you
are no mother. A mother couldn't
starve her child"
There you are. That girl is going
to continue to poster the life out of
the family until some day they rise
In wrath and do something about 1t.
"And the crying child? Why does
he cry?'
"For everything. He must sit be-
side his father. Father must serve
him first. If he doesn't, he cries"
what happens when he criesY
His father stops eating his din
ner, takes him on his lap and COM
forts him. BY and by he eats a
mouthful, and after his father
coaxes him a little, he swallows an
other. Maybe then he will sit on
his own chair and eat his dinner,
but maybe his father feeds him."

OUR
CHILDREN
g
THE JEALOUS CHILD
By ANGELO PATRI

WE ARE likely to be impatient
w with the jealous child. Jeal-
ousy Is an ugly trait and its pos
SCISSOR gets little sympathy. We look
at the result of it and turn away
from the offender in disgust. We
are angry when we ought to be SYM
pathetic.
Jealousy is an affliction. l believe
that no healthy mind harbors jeal-
ousy. The day is coming when we
will call in the mental hygiene spe-
cialist and ask him what he can do
to ease the child Of this complaint.
Instead of furnishing him we will get
prescription for him. Let us hope
II works.
Anger and jealousy go hand in
hand. One is as poisonous as the
other. Neither Of them can live In
mind that Is open to the sunshine
of love and service. When the
healthy breezes of laughter and In
dustry blow through a mind all the
dark corners are swept clean Of
such dangerous clutter and the
healthy mind goes on it's way mer-
rily, knowing no grudging and no
self-seeking. A healthy self, which
means a healthy mind, looks after
itself and is certain Of its ability
to do so.
The helpless self, which means
the unhealthy mind, the one that no
sun and breeze may enter, Is afraid,
1t falters, it leans on other minds,
complaining while it does so. By
that sign you can always know 1t.
Then don't be angry about 1t. Don't
turn in disgust away from it. 1t
needs help.
How can you help jealous child?
Tell him what ails him. Tell him
cheerfully and impersOnally that he
is thinking the wrong way, that he
had worked his example wrong.
Proceed to show him the mistake
when you begin to think that Tillie
has your place you are heading the
wrong way. You see you are alive
SO long as you are alive nobody
can be you, nobody can stand Ia
Jour place. 1t is silly of you TO
think he can.
when you think that Tillie is
getting the love you ought to get
you are making a great mistake.
Love is not measured that way. The
more it is given out the more there
is to give. You can't lose the love
that comes to you unless you shut
1t out. When you feel ugly and
selfish you shut love away from you.
You do. this to yourself. Now I'll
tell you what you do. Tillie Is so
little she can't get her own night
things ready. Every night you slip
upstairs and lay out that child's
things for her. Help her get ready
for bedtime. Give the little thing a
lift. If you do this you'll know bet
ter than to feel so jealous Of every
little kindness that is shown her.
Be the first to help her and see how
things come out right for you"
1t will take many a lesson but
keep at it. Jealousy can be driven
out by service.
Teach him to love and to serve
and say no word about the other
thing and he will come through
safely.

Horse Coming Back

For the first time since the
World war the demand for good
work horses is exceeding the sup
ply, says a writer in Pathfinder
Magazine. The reason given is that
farmers are abandoning tractors
because their crops do not bring in
cash while horses can be kept on
home grown feeds. There were
nearly 20,OO0,OOO horses on farms
In 1913, and only 100000 in
1882. Western horse dealers are
experiencing boom times where
they can get stock to sell.
