If she isnt willing to do this, then she ought not to be living there at all. If she has no income and still isnt willing to make herself an agreeable and useful member of the younger house- hold, she should get a job. There are not, to be sure, a great many well-paieasy, dignified jobs for women past 50, but there are always bathrooms in hospitals to clean, linen rooms in hotels to keep in order, dishes in restaurants to be washed. Since these are simple facts, and themselves the very mothers-in-laknow that they are facts, how astonishing it is to find so many elderly women planted firmly in the homes of their sons, making a great deal of trouble, expecting a great deal of consideration, and acting generally as though there were a great many pleasanter lives they might be leading and their remaining in the household was a sort of favor. Ingeborg is a fine young woman of Swedish descent who was a masseuse before her marriage. She and w her doctor husband have four small sons. The doctors mother lives with them. Joes mother, writes Inga, occupied this big house alone for many years, but it belongs to him. When our living expenses had to be stretched to take care of four children and two servants rent was a As there were serious problem. about six unoccupied bedrooms here and plenty of garden space, he suggested to his mother that we combine forces, and at that time she was delighted with the idea. I was ill for months after the twins were born, and although I was conscious of friction here and there, it is only now, when I am well again, that I realize some of the difficulties of having two mistresses in the house. A Troublemaker. the letter My mother-in-lagoes on, is the kind of woman who runs her finger over high surfaces or shelves or bookcases and remarks on the slightest film of dust. Any interruption by the children she ignores exactly as though they were not there. She criticizes me to Joe as being too familiar with my helpers; and because she saw the nurse downtown in a beauty parlor smoking a cigarette she asked me to discharge her. There is no question of my discharging Helga, because she has been a tower of strength to me, willing to make beds, cook formulas, wash dishes, even rake leaves and wash windows. Her people and mine have known one another for 300 years. "In the kitchen I have a fine, willing old Chinese, but he is lame, and Joes mother gets impatient with his slowness. She never had but the one child, and always had plenty of money, and she does not seem to realize that four small boys are a greater problem than one. Everything I do displeases her. She asks me what we are having for lunch, and remarks that she will have a sandwich downtown somewhere. If Joe is tired and irritable before dinner she babies him; she is so sorry, darling, that you have HALF TIIE WAY If you are the sort of person who is careful to go half the way toward making life pleasant for those around you, Kathleen Norris has a message especially for you. She writes this week of those who hesitate to go of the way, or even all the way if necessary, toward making themselves useful and agreeable. We never live completely alone, she says, for there are always fellow employees, neighbors and others with whom we should remain on friendly terms. So we must inevitably learn to do not only our share, but a little bit more. three-quarte- rs to live in all this confusion and noise; your Mommy would have everything so quiet and orderly for you! But she never gives a baby a bath or picks up a toy. . Worst of all, she implies to all her friends that Joe married very much beneath him. I think, everything considered, Inga does very well, she will say purringly. Or, Suppose we pronounce that word this way, dear? And she keeps telling me of the rich, fashionable girls Joe might have married. Also I get sick of her saying, When my son came to live in my dear old On her $75 a month she home. couldnt keep up a place like this; Joe paid off more than $3,000 in bills for her when we moved in. Seeks a Solution. My solution for your problem, Inga, would be the suggestion that you and Joe study the plan of that old house, to see whether there is a possibility of dividing off a suite of two or three rooms for his mother, giving her her own entrance if possible, her own small kitchen unit g if it is only a gas burner and her own bathroom. In a word, her own establishment. This might cost some hundreds in the beginning, but it would be a good investment, keeping this unreasonable woman in the house she loves, keeping her near her son and but separating her grandsons, housekeeping from yours. Once she is removed from inevitable contact with you, it is an easy matter to say hospitably to her, when you have the babies out in the morning Meat cakes for lunchsunshine, eon today. Want to join us? Then if she comes, she comes by her own choice, and cannot very well criticize. A Frank Daughter-in-LaThe other day a young wife of my acquaintance had to write a hard letter. She wrote it to the jealous, critical, unreasonable woman who is her husbands mother. In effect it said : Because I have protected you, my husband and my little girls love you. But I am going to protect you no longer. Please dont come to my house again unless you can refrain from heckling my foreign-borwonderful father, who has been for forty years a loyal American. Please never again ask my nurse whether my husband and I ever quarrel. Please eat what is served at my table as you would eat whatever is served at the table of any friend. Please dont tell my daughters Mama is unreasonable and nervous when I correct them. Please dont tell my son that his wifes neglect of him is town talk. Confident of his partisanship, the mother-in-ladramatically showed this letter to her son. He read it through with a serious face; read it again. Then he took a pencil from his pocket and marked it with a big check. two-rin- n, S. Department of Agriculture It is a smile of Victory this young miss has. For with the eggs from her own chickens for consumption here, and abroad where they are sent in powdered form, the necessary energy to carry on the great fight against the enemy is being partly supplied. greater than it would be if egg production were low during a period of poor prices. For good egg production at this season of the year, the pullet flock should have: 1. A poultry house which provides four square feet of floor space for each bird. 2. Some form of insulation in the house. 3. A good ration in small feeders, which are freshly filled every day, or at least every other day. 4. Two water containers in a room approximately 20 by 20 feet. 5. A ration featuring some form of milk, whole oats, a good grade of alfalfa, and a vitamin-oil. 6. A supplemental feeding of moist mash once a day, if necessary. This practice is not essential for all flocks, but in the case of flocks going stale or losing weight, and for late, immature pullets. 7. Lights if necessary. Lights might be used in the same situations in which moist mash feeding A successful practice is suitable. has been to use two lamps all night in a room 20 by 20 feet. 8. Fresh litter to keep up the spirits of the flock and for the maintenance of health. 9. Regular attention; irregularity plays havoc with egg production. 10. The benefit of some good common sense.

Peat miners, you might call them, those farmers who are lucky enough to find a bed of peat located on their land. Domestic peat is needed now to supplement the reduced supply being imported from Europe. Most of the beds in this country are located in northern states: Maine, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio and northern Washington. Moss, sedge and reed peat are considered safe as a fertilizer for gardens and golf course greens. Other kinds which have an acid reaction and are not chemically adapted to combination with soil are found useful as insulating material, as stable litter, and as an absorbent layer for poultry houses in winter. Peat dust is found to be an effective deodorizer. Peat can be used as a substitute for medicated cotton in the It making of surgical dressings. has been used in the making of paper. Peat mining is not a difficult job. The peat is first ripped up from the earth, shredded in a machine, pressed or dried to get rid of excess moisture, then cleaned and sacked. For some uses, the peat is pulverized to powder. All of these are farm operations that can be done by one man. Agricultural Notes Wet mash has been used from the beginning of the poultry industry to encourage the birds to eat more, and to increase or maintain production. w The U. S. department of agriculture has recommended to war emergency officials that increased amounts of dairy equipment b made available to farmers in 1942. .
