Cohen announced that the lnterna-
tiOnaI Service Committee, of which
he is chairman, is going to be more

European and Asian cities of about
the same size as Milford in an at
tempt to become more familiar with
the real life of their countries and

Europe and the spectacular head
lines of our own newspapers ana
really acquaint one with the other
If this could be done, a friendlier
feeling would result. and there
would be much less talk of arma-
ments and preparation for war than

RURAL HOUSING
PROBLEMS DISCUSSED

Surprising as it may seem, a sur
vey of rural house needs made in
1884 by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and State agricultural
colleges showed that at least two
million farm homes were without
screens. Family health needs should
place screens among the first items
on the list of home improvements.
Some kind of screening can be in
stalled for very little cost. Netting
tackled over the window frames is
possibly the cheapest temporary so
luton of this need. Adjustable half
screens are not expensive. and if
there is a boy or a man in the fam
lily who can make frames to fit the
lower sashes and tack screen wire
on them, the cost would be still less.
Screen doors are just as important
and i'm regular stock sizes, which
can often be trimmed to fit, are rela-
lively cheap. They should have
springs to close them automatically.
Ideal screens are full length for
all windows. so that either sash may
be opened, and ventilation is better.
Why are screens SO important?
Any entomologist or public health
worker explains that the fly carries
disease germs and filth to our food.
Two or three flies in the house soon
breed others. Screens vhaing a mesh
of 16 strands to the inch are satis-
factory for excluding flies and the
mosquitoes. In humid re-
gions, especially near the seacoast
bronze wire is undoubtedly the least
expensive in the long run. In dry
black or painted screen
wire will last fairly well and give
In moderately moist
climates, the best grade of galvan-
zed wire is better,

ton was one of the best things in
the 1897 program and should be in
cluded in the new program. Due to
the fact that in some sections of the
county, red clover is used entirely
as a cover crop. this committee
thought that payments should be
made for turning down this crop,
the same as for other legumes For
some reason, no payments were
made in 1887 for this crop and it
was the idea of the committee that
some consideration be given red
clover in the 1888 program
According to the opinion Of this
group the 1887 program was of
great benefit to our farmers be
cause of the sowing and turning un-
der of more legumes and thus help
ing to build our soils.
