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 ’’visit.” In addition to the grange, then- are many local f-wraor«* clnt™ that ar» READ HERALD WANT ADS. 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.

THE POULTRYMAN. Ice water is a fine thing for summer, but it la bard on poul try In winter. Red mites have enjoyed the tender flesh of the youngsters this past summer and fall. See that they don’t do it again. What is the use of keeping any fowls that will not pay for tbelr board? Market the loaf ers. Feed your poultry well on good wholesome feed, but see that there ts no waste. Plan to raise a good supply of chicks next spring from the very best stock yon have. Be sure that the male at the head of a flock of poultry Is pure bred. 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 and therefore the best foundation sot j-y V-v, ..

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. The picture shows a cozy hencoop. 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 cut bone and skimrallk.

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. READ HERALD WANT ADS,
