A HOMEMAKER'S CREED.

The Colorado Association of Home
Demonstration Clubs expressed their
creed in the following well-chosen
phrases. Altho the 50,694 rural women
reached in Minnesota by the Home
Demonstration Division of the Agricul-
tural Extension Service, University of
Minnesota have not met to state their
objections, I believe they'll all subscribe
to these:
To establish progressive communities;
To make all lives more livable;
To establish and maintain a high
standard of American rural life that
the coming generations may profit by
our labors;
To make home life the first and
highest thought of every homemaker;
To make homely tasks more interest
ing by increasing neighborly competi-
ton in doing them;
To realize at all times We are ex-
ampleS to the children of today and
they are the men and women of to-
morrow; that as we respect our govern
ment and laws, maintain our homes and
estimate our neighbors SO will they;
To endeavor to submerge self and
look above and beyond the trifling
things of our everyday lives; and
Help us, o God, that our efforts may
not be confined to the four walls of
our homes, but reach out and help all
who need help, not in pity or condes-
cension, but in fellowship and under
standing"
Julia O. Newton.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-07-07
KEEP THE HENS HOUSED.

Does it pay to keep laying hens
housed even during the summer? An
answer is offered in the report of an
experiment carried on by A. B. Godfrey
and Harry w. Titus of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. One conclusion
is:
when confined birds receive cod
liver oil and sunshine, they not only
lay as many eggs but also have a ten
dency to lay larger eggs than birds
that also have access to a limited
range"
This is the experience of many
poultrymen in Minnesota who keep
their hens housed, perhaps only be-
cause they don't like having them clut-
tering the landscape and digging up
the garden. The surprise comes when
they find themselves making more
money even though they have to pro-
vide more feed.
The explanation IS simple enough. A
hen is an efficient manufacturer of
eggs only if her feed is well-balanced
and she is encouraged to eat large
quantities of it. The hen that roams
all over the farmyard never gets enough
mash to make many eggs.
However, the poultry house must be
reasonably cool in summer or the hens
will be worse off than if on range. Good
insulation is as necessary in summer as
in winter.

Child, TlUO Sees
City's Night Life.

Moorhead-It was am. and little
tWo-year-old Roger was restless. So he
arose from his bed, clad only in his
sleepers, perkily placed his mothers
small black hat on his head, walked
downstairs to the street and was off
on an adventurous view of Moorhead's
night life. He had arisen with a girl
employed in the home, who was to
catch an early train. She gave him
breakfast and left after he had gone
back to bed. But the outside world
beckoned to Roger. The bright lights
of the street awed him. So there his
little bare feet carried him. He stood
unnoticed, gazing with wonder at a
brightly lighted window with it's row
upon row of varicolored bottles. This
was fun. And besides, mother and dad
were sound asleep and didn't even know
he was out all by himself. A ham,
burger shop employee finally spied the
little tot and Roger couldn't explain be-
cause he's only two, and SO was taken
to the police station. To Roger this
was just so much more of a lark. Smil-
ing cheerfully and capturing the hearts
Of the hardboiled cops, he had swell
time until a. m. when his parents
awoke to find their child missing. The
police station was their first thought
and there they sped, finding Roger
happily giving an all-day sucker the
works.
