Hostessing these days in Berlin is tough. Not only do all the lit- tlc things have to be painstaking- ly correct but tho food tickets have to be asked for. The guest should bring his own wine, but, really, it's too much to expect him to lug along his own pork chop or veal outlet.

FARM
Tories
YOUNG FARMERS
NEED INCENTIVE
Youth Must Be Sold on
Rural Life.
BY EUGENE L. SPARROW

Through some hokus-pocus, char
acterizations of city life usually are
taken from the exceptionally fortu-
nate examples but the examples OF
country life are drawn from the
Tobacco Road" and "Grapes of
Wrath" strata.
This custom Of comparing the best
Of urban life with the worst of rural
existence is an injustice to farm
boys and girls and q threat to the
welfare of the nation. Young men
and women exposed through forma-
tive years to literature, art, NOV
les and drama which distorts the
true picture Of city and country are
likely to believe they can be happy
only where success is measured in
terms of millions.
The glare of city millionaires hides
slums and poverty that are more
typical Of great cities than the inn
mense wealth SO often cited. The
average amount of property accu-
mulated by farmers is greater than
the average for city workers.
Rural parents can counterfeit the
publicity favorable to city life by
teaching their children to share ear
ly in the responsibilities and the re-
wards of farm life. Encouragement
for the boy or girl to raise live
stock, gardens, or crops. and owner
ship of the profits help in making
farming brighter for children.
Mechanical farm equipment has
reduced the need for hand labor on
farms and for laborers, but factory
equipment likewise has reduced the
number on shop payrolls. Choice of
life in the city or country should
be made by rural boys and girls on
a basis of fact rather than fancy.

Lumber Production
in Montana
in 1910

MISSOULA-Lumber production
in Montana in 1910 amounted to
325. 10000 board feet, according to
figures compiled by the
Northern Rocky Mountain Forest
and Range Experiment Station,
Missoula, in cooperation with the
Bureau Of the Census. This is an in
crease of 20 per cent over 1899,
when 27l, 096, 900 feet were report
ed. The leading 1910 species was
ponderosa pine, from which 145,-
684, 900 feet were cut. Western larch
was second with 75,493, 900 feet and
Douglas-fir, third with 62,32800
Production of. wood lath in 1910
amounted to 11,747 900 pieces, and
of shingles, to 1878 squares.
Present indications are that the
production of lumber, lath, and
shingles in 194l will exceed the
1910 production by considerable
margin. Considerable lumber is be-
ing used in defense construction as
we'll as in industry.

Bantam Chickens
Proue Profitable

About the snartest creature with
feathers is the bantam chicken. Such
characteristics OF bantams as intel
ligence, small size and finally the
practical fact that they produce
eggs has made them favorites in
many sections Of the country. Many
families keep bantam for about
the same reason that they keep a
dog e.
The profit of the breeder and fam
cier is high as compared with main
tenance, as these miniatures only
consume one-fifth as much as the
large breeds. Buyers will pay from
sl.50 TO 81 for setting of quality
eggs. Breeders sell single birds
from 81 to Sis, while fanciers readi-
ly refuse twice that price.
It's not expensive to house ban
tams. II they are to be raised on
the ground yard by IL feet will
provide ample space for rooster
and two hens--for breeding pur-
poses. If housing is for eggs, six or
eight hens can be raised in this same
space.
A number OF bantam breeders are
raising their stock on wire flooring.
The same size pen or inclosure is
used but it is raised about two feet
off the ground. All ages develop
well on wire flooring

Harness Cleaning

Harness is often damaged in win
ter by acid bearing moisture in
closed barns. The dampness rusts
buckles and hardware, and the mois-
ture weakens the leather. Rats and
mice are not SO likely to chew a
well-oiled harness. Any good meats
foot oil compound will seal the
pores In the harness and protect It
against acid and dampness, while
the oil also protects the metal parts
against rust. Before oiling, har-
ness should r. taken apart and
cleaned and weak parts replaced.
After oiling, the harness should be
dried in a warm room.

Erosion removes more than 20
times as much plant food as is con-
sufned by crops.
Center punch all holes to be drilled
in iron or steel This will prevent

One way to be sure that the brine
for meat curing is strong is. to keep
adding salt until the solution will
float an egg.
Many farms have trees planted to
serve as windbreaks in winter and
to supply shade in summer. A good
windbreak needs at least three rows
of trees.
A good ration for brood sow is
about half pound of oats daily,

plement, such as tankage or soy

The best beef cattle are purebred,

plus from many purebred herds has
been marketed as steers. They reg
ularly top the market.
