“BACK TO
THE FARM”
V. Social Life In the
Country.
Ely C. V. GSJEGOEY.
(Copyright, IYIO, by American Pres* Asso
ciation. J
THE sonial life and amusements
of the country are essentially
different from those iu the
city. 1 have heard people say
that there la no such thing as social
life In the country, hut inquiry dis
closed the fact that they never had
spent much time in a modern, wide
uwake farm community. The founda
tlon of all social life la in the home, ’dt
Is In the country that the home la de
veloped to the highest extent, aud ii
necessarily follows that it Is In the
country that the strongest basis for a
healthy social life exists.
The social life of the so called “soci
ety” people of the city does not exist
In the country, and it is a blessing to
the country that It does not. Such a
social life Is unnatural. Social life is
primarily for amusement, recreation
and development. Where Is the amuse
ment or the recreation In the struggle
for social recognition by a clique
whom a turn of the w heel of fortum
has brought uppermost? Where is the
development unless It be the develop
ment of heartaches on the part of the
wife and poverty on the part of the
husband? Such a society, where peo
pie are measured by their money rath
er than by their true U'ortb, is snot,
bery rather than social life.
Outside the “society” circles the so
dal life of the city consists largely of
amusements -Coney Island nnd Its Iml
tators, theaters and public dances
Some of these things are all right In
their way. They furnish amusement
and recreation. But they do not fur
nlsh development.
Here is where the great advantage
of country social life comes In. It i
not furnished ready made to those win
have the price. Social diversions In
the country are made to order. That
Is the reason why some people do not
like them, and that Is why a person
who once really gets Into the spirit of
country social life Is never afterward
satisfied with social affairs In which
he cannot have an active part.
The social possibilities of the country
are not taken advantage of In all com
....
FARMERS’ PIONIO DINNKtt ON THR OKAS
munities, It is true. In too many
places each family ts content to li\ •
by itself, with as little Intercourse u
possible with the neighbors. It 1
such communities that contribute mo-i
largely to the townward flow of popu
latlon. With the general waking up o:
the farming districts Is coming a
broadening of social life. In som.
places the local church Is the social
center, but too often there are som,
members who consider so harmless :
thing as an ice cream supper to helj
pay the preacher a sin. As n result
the importance of the church ns a so
dal factor Is not what it should be.
The most Important centers of social
life In the country are farmers’ organ
lzatlons of various kinds. Probably
the most Important of these, because
the most extensive, is the grange. The
grange has been In existence for for
ty-four years and numbers at present
more than 1,000,00(1 members. In those
communities where it has obtained :
strong hold It is very effective in bring
tng the people together. In the oldc
states a grange neighborhood can li
told by the looks of the farms and
buildings.
The plan of the local grange is to
hold meetings at regular inters ale
usually once a week In the winter an I
sometimes us infrequently as once a
month In the summer. Generally the> ■
meetings are held at the home of on«
of the members. The whole family be
longs. As a rule, there Is a literary
program lu connection with the meet
Ing. where the boys and girls learn to
talk In public. Part of the program is
devoted to agricultural topics, as one
of the objects of the graugc Is edueu
tlon In farming. There is always
enough amusement mixed In, how
ever, to keep the children Interested.
In the winter the meeting* begin la
the afternoon, and the men look over
the stock and talk over their problem
while the children play and the women

tfolng a great deui to bring their mem
bers together socially. The only rea
son that there are not more such or
ganizations Is the lack of some one to
take the lead. The cities have so long
been drawing the best blood from some
rural communities that In many places
there Is precious little left to build
upon. With the changing conditions
that are restoring the farm to a lead
ing place In our national life there
will he no lack of leaders, and the
time will come when every community
will have its club or grange.
In the Mississippi valley states,
where industrial co-operation has ob
tained a strong foothold, co-operative
picnics are one of the principal diver
sions. These are big affairs, including
all the people for miles around. There
are speeches and amusements and plen
ty to eat, and every one goes home
happy.
A number of country towns and ru
ral communities have a “held day”
once or twice a year, which is in the
nature of a big picnic, at which ath
letic contests predominate.
Bocal Fourth of July celebrations
give the country boys a chance to
work off their patriotism for s. week in
advance in helping to get things ready,
and they enjoy the day a great deal
more than they would a ready made
celebration in a big town, where all
they could do would be to stand on
the side lines and shout. The best part
of these affairs is that they develop
originality aud Initiative on the part of
the young people. It teaches them to
develop any latent ability for leader
ship which they may possess. The boy
who own get together nine farmer boys
on Saturday afternoons and organize
them Into a ball team that can win
from the neighboring towuship Is the
one who Is going to be able to do
things when he gets older. It is no
small task to make an effective team
out of nine boys when eight of them
want to pitch aud the other couldn’t
catch a ball to save bis life.
It is the farm boys of today who
will be foremost in the agricultural
communities of tomorrow. One of the
most important of the social factors
affecting farm life is a boys’ club.
Nebraska has a well developed sys
tem of boys’ and girls’ corn clubs.
There are a few In lowa and Illinois,
aud more are being organized. The
members of these clubs each have
their plot of corn. They meet around
from place to place, get better ac
quainted with one another and study
corn growing. Often an experienced
corn grower meets with them and
gives them some practical lessons. Id
some cases these clubs are under the
supervision of the agricultural college,
which sends out letters of instruction
to the boys every two weeks or so. In
the winter a corn contest Is held at
the agricultural college. Some of the
counties have local contests. There
are prizes for the best corn and for the
best corn judging. Often the boys who
do the best work at the local contests
have their expenses paid to the state
contest at the agricultural college.
Similar coDtests In cooking and sew
lDg are held for the girls, Work of
this kind Is an Inspiration to the boys
and girls. They begin to see some of
the real enjoyment of farm life.
This work is being extended to the
boys of the cities by means of summer
camps, where the boys are taken for a
vacation, at the same time getting in
struction and object lessons in agri
culture. Many a boy who otherwise
would have spent his life in town
working for somebody else Is thus
started on the way to become an Inde
pendent farmer.
Another big factor In rural social life
Is the country literary society. This
reaches more people than a grange or
a club can reach. Its disadvantage is
that the membership 1s so large that
only a few can appear on the pro
grams. But a great many can listen,
and they eagerly avail themselves of
the opportunity. The country literary
society when rightly managed com
bines both the social aud the educa
tional features and is a great uplift to
the community.
Along with these other social factors
come the local lecture courses. The
talent ts not always the best, but usu
ally It is surprisingly good. Then there
are Ice cream suppers, picnics and
fishing excursions In the summer and
oyster suppers in the winter. The wo
men often have a ladles’ aid society,
where they can meet and sew and visit
to their hearts’ content. The men have
a fraternal order or two, where they
can get together on Saturday evening
During the last few years the Y. M. C.
A. has been extending to the country
and doing a great deal of good work.
Often elubrooms and a gymnasium
are established, where the neighbor
hood boys can meet and try their ath
letic skill. Where such rooms have
taken the place of the grocery store as
an evening meeting place for the boys
and young men there Is n noticeable
improvement In the community.
During vacations, when the young
people are home front school, there is
no lack of social diversions that ap
peal especially to them. There is Just
as much culture among these modern
young people of the country as there
Is among the same classes In the city
and much more whole heartedness.
The country dances and parties are
well conducted affairs and the occa
sion of much harmless fun. An *cca
stonal trip to town to attend the thea
ter by way of the trolley line or in au
tomobiles or In a big sleigh gives vari
ety to the amusements.
Taking all these factors together, the
social life found In the most highly
developed country communities Is su
perior In almost every way to that
found in the cities. The development
of this wholesome soclnl life and Its
more general extension throughout the
country will he Important factors in

VARIETY OF FEED
BEST FOR POULTRY
A great deal has been written about
the right kind of feed for poultry, but
very little about the wroug kind
There is no doubt that many poultry
failures may he traced to improper
feeding. Hens are not like pigs. They
will not thrive on sloppy foods. We
hear a great deal about a balanced ra
tion, but a balanced ration need not
be a scientific ratiou or some new fan
gled way of feeding, but the birds
should have a variety and a supply of
the various things they need for their
bodily wants and for egg making. No
person would like a diet of any one
thing or any one class of food.
The birds do not want any one kind
of food Id excess. Even the bept of
food would fail if fed continuously
and with nothing else. In feeding
mashes do not make them too heavy
with cornmeal, but lighten them with
bran or alfalfa leaves. Do not make
the mashes too sloppy, which will in
time ruin the digestive organs of tin
birds, but make the mashes crumbly or
feed them dry. Now corn and ont c
make a good combination for feeding
chickens, hut even these must Dot hi
fed to the exclusion of ether things
Most farmers have these two grains

It is useless to look for eggs In
winter unless the fowls are well
fed and comfortably housed. Good
housing does not mean an air tight
box, but quarters that are dry and
well ventilated. Keep a dusting box
in a sunny corner, and see that it
Is well supplied with dry road dust
or sifted coal ashes. A pinch of
permanganate of potash in their
drinking water once a week or so
Is a good germicide. Dry mash
should always be kept before them.

a balanced poultry food. It will be
little trouble to get the corn cracked
at tbe mill or the oats crushed.
The thing to do Is to get some other
grains to mix with these so that tbe
birds will have not only a variety, But
grains of different food values. You
can get a few hundred pounds ot
wheat, buckwheat, kaffir and a little
sunflower seed. These may be mixed
in with your corn and oats at differ
eut tiroes as you wish, so that the
fowls will get a different ration from
time to time. .Not that the feeding
should be radically changed nt any om
time, but that the grains given should
be a little different This keeps u|
the appetite and makes them eager foi
their food.
Feeding For Winter Eggs.
It Is certain that profits and results
from the hencoop will not be satlsfac
tory If feeding for winter consists ol
corn or meal made from corn alone
for neither Is sufficiently nltrogeuoir
and does not supply proper mate
rial for egg laying unless fed In
combination with other foods, such n>-
milk, ground bone, clover and vege
tables. The hens should be fed In
such a manner as to induce scratching
and exercises. Wheat, maize, barley
and sunflower seed have been found
very good food for promoting winter
laying, and much success has attend
ed tbe feeding of a warm masb of cut
clover and barley meal, bran, green

Winter Egg Production Depends on
Care and Feeding.
It Is time the pullets which are to
produce winter eggs should have com
menced operations, says the Western
Poultry Journal. It Is much easier to
induce pullets to lay before settled
cold weather sets In than later. Pul
lets which do not commence to lay by
the middle of November are not apt to
begin until late In the winter or spring,
and It will hardly pay to keep them
over, especially if there are plenty
that will lay. While winter eggs are

The Light Brahma being among
the largest of domesticated fowl
and very hardy, its qualifications
as a meat breed has always been
recognized. A fuV!y developed Light
Brahma furnishes an ideal carcass
as a roaster. Besides, the hens are
good layers, producing most of their
eggs during the winter months.
They are also good setters. They
are docile in temperament and stand
confinement well. They are excel
lent birds for the back yard and
small lot.
not the “whole thing,” the bulk of the
profit in poultry keeping is made at
this season of high prices.
To have hens we must winter pul
lets, and If by a Little extra feed and
care we can induce each pullet to pro
duce $1 worth of eggs during the cold
months it will add materially to the
profit the flock will yield during the
year. It may, and probably will, pay
to winter hens for their summer pro
duction. But why not have all the
year layers and a steady income from
the poultry? This can be done by ju
dlcious breeding, feeding and care.
To get eggs we must supply the hen
with the proper Ingredients from
which to grow the egg. If every ele
ment needed ts supplied m the right
proportion the hen must lay or store
them up in the body in tbe form of
flesh or fat If house conditions are
right and the hens made contented'
and happy they will lay if the laying
instinct is in them.
The ration should be composed about
as follows: Fifty-live per cent whole
and ground grain, 15 per cent meet 30
per cent succulent green food, such as
roots, cabbage and other vegetables
and clover or alfalfa hay. The winter
laying pullet Is one that has been fed
and grown right from the time she
left the shell. We cannot take pallets
which have been fed any old way and
get them In laying form In a few
weeks. If they have not been rightly
developed it may take several months
of feeding to get them ripened so as
to be good producers, while some never
will be.
PROFIT IN CLEAN EGGS.
Fowls Should Bo Provided With Fresh
Nesting Material and Litter.
Poultry keepers may easily reduce
the percentage of dirty or soiled eggs
and losses entailed to tnstgnlfleant fig
ures, says Arthur C. Smith of the Min
neapolis College of Agriculture. First
an ample number of nests Is, of course,
necessary, but an ample number
means no more tlrnu and probably not
as many as are usually directed by.
poultry writers. Laying houses are,
a rule, provided with a sufficient nom<
ber, but where the keeper falls down
is in fnlllng to supply enough nesting
material and floor litter.
Obviously the nesting material must
be clean or the eggs become soiled by
contact and It must be sufficient In
quantity or the eggs are often broken
by dropping upon the hard floor of the
nest In houses where the dropping
boards are above the nests and the cus
tom is to sand tbe boards small stones
often drop Info the nest and breakage
results when newly laid eggs fall upon
them. The condition of nests should
be noticed dally and tbe nesting ma
terial replenished when necesaary.
Plenty of nesting material prevents
breakage anti insures clean eggs.
An ample and clean litter on the
floor is also very essential when an A 1
clean product Is sought- Particularly
Is this true when the hens are allowed
outdoors during wet weather. The Ut
ter acts as r foot mat for the hena on
their way to the nests.
Clean eggs bring better prices than
dirty ones.
Furnish Grit For Poultry.
Hens demand some mineral mafbM
to form the -hell of their eggs. Do q<JT
forget the oyster shell and tbe hand,
sharp grit. These will furnish ma
terial for tbe formation of the egg's
shell and at the same time will keep
the fowls 1n a healthy condition.
