An angel came and said, "Why do you cry, little girl!" "Because the world is bo gray. Do I have to stay in this lonely world?" The angel set the little girl on her feet. "Look!" said the angel. The grass was green, the flowers were blooming, and the sun was shining. "The shadow is gone," said the lit tle girl. "No," said the angel. "The shadow is behind you where it belongs.

Egg shells painted with water colors made the flowers, twigs wrapped with green paper made the stems. We made leaves from green paper.

By doubling the average production per cow, it Is possible to triple the average Income over cost of feed. Thus the dairy farmer will make more money. "But why do dairy farmers want more money? They want It in order that they and their families may have a better living, which includes better homes and better schools. The time Is coming wten our dairy farmers and their families are going to have not only a good living and the advantages of the open country but also many of the opportunities and conveniences that are now enjoyed by the people of the cities."

Sterilizing Utensils Is Recommended for Dairy Ford was deimmediately apparent that a new tire would have to be made to match the car's perform-fenc- e. It was distinctly a new problem, for here was a car with quicker acceleration, greater speed and more braking efficiency than any car of similar size or weight. So that every Ford owner might be assured of maximum tire mileage at the lowest cost, the Ford Motor Company devoted many WHEN the new signed!, it was months to research 'and experiment in conjunction with the leading tire manufacturers. As a result, certain definite specifications were developed for tires for the new Ford. These specify cords of certain strength and texture, a large volume of tread and side-warubber, sturdy non-ski- d design, and reinforced plies for protection against ll bruise breaks all the strong features of construction formerly considered for only the largest tires. Great care also was taken to secure the best ridingqual-itie- s in connection with the transverse springs and the IloudaUIe shock abuorbers. Though the Ford tires are designated as 30 x 4.50, they have the resiliency and air space of much larger tires because of the drop center rim of the steel-spok-e wheels. For best results, the tires on the new Ford should be kept inflated to an air pressure of 35 pounds and checked regularly to insure this pressure all the time This is important. Low inflation breaks down the side-wal- ls of a tire. By causing overheating, it also destroys the rubber that acts as an insulation, with consequent separation of the cord. At the end of each 5000 miles, when you have the front wheels packed with grease, it is a good plan to have the wheel alignment checked. This will prevent premature wear. When punctures come, as they will with any tire, you will find the Ford dealer particularly well -- equipped to make repairs quickly and at email cost. See him, too for replacements. Then you will be sure of getting tires built specially for the Ford car according to definite Ford specifications Ford Motor Company Utensils such as cans and pails may be sterilized by Inverting them over a steam Jet, although this system is not to be recommended for general farm use. The effectiveness of the jet will depend upon the size of the opening "through which the steam is ejected, and the length of time the utensils are steamed. It usually requires about a half a minute to steam can thoroughly if the a steam-gaug- e pressure is 20 to 25 pounds. If a steam jet is used, the utensils should be steamed until they are too hot to handle with the bare hands. After treatment In this manner, they will become dry from their own heat If placed right side up and uncovered for a few minutes before they are inverted on the rack. ten-gallo- n Grading Up Dairy Herd Sire by Using Pure-Bre- d At wtat rate will a grade animal be "bred up" by the use of a pure-bresire and the resulting offspring of each cross?

The kind of crops grown and the way these are fed have a lot to do with their ultimate value when marketed as dairy prod nets. It Is true, of course, that the kind of cow fed has much to do with establishing the value of the feeds used but the right kind of skill In feeding cows avoids the sending of good crops to market through poor cows. Increase of Foreign Wheat Supply Causes Abrupt Market Drop tone developed in the wheat market during the week ending March 1 reflecting the increased of ferings from Argentina, according to the weekly grain market review of the U. S. bureau cf agricultural economics. Domestic demand for wheat was slow, largely because of a poor flour market, and cash premiums were lower, soft red winter wheat selling at the lowest prices since early in the season. Light offerings, together with only moderate current receipts, were strengthening factors in the corn market, which held generally steady. Other feed grains, however, were weaker, influenced somewhat by lower prices of mill feeds. Increased shipments of Argentine wheat were a dominating factor in the general wheat market situation. Shipments for the week totaled over seven million bushels, about of which was shipped out to be sold in transit or upon arrival European demand is slow because of difficult transportation to interior points and it was reported that northern European countries were offering to resell Argentine wheat to the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Ship ments were also fairly large, totaling over four million bushels, but over half of these shipments were reported destined to India, where stocks are small. Harvesting of the new crop in India has commenced, however, from an acreage about 1,750,000 acres smaller than last season, ac cording to official estimates. Weather in Lurope continues cold but there is a good snow cover. Local wheats are being firmly held in most European countries and millers in France and Italy are reported to be buying cheaper foreign wheat. Prices of native wheats were practically unchanged, good milling wheat being quoted at Hamburg at $1.54, par, $1.67, and Milan, Italy, $1.46. Quotations on foreign wheats at Liverpool were slightly lower; 63 pounds Rosa Fe for March shipment was quoted at No. 4 Manitoba for immedi $1.32 ate shipments $1.42, Australian wheat S1.44 and soft white wheat from the Pacific coast $1.42. Domestic market reflected fully the weakness in the general market situation and premiums for cash grain were reduced slightly in addition to the decline in future prices. .Soft red winter wheat was probably he weakest and cash sales were at the lowest point since early in the season at St. Louis and other soft winter wheat markets. Offerings were not large but mill demand was very, limited with most mills taking low protein hard winter wheat. No. 2 red winter was quoted at the close of the week at Chicago at $1.34, St. Louis 5 and Cincinnati Hard winter wheat was 1 to 2 cents lower than a week ago with demand slow. Mixed feed manufacturers were taking some low grade wheat, but there was practically no export inquiry and mills were taking only limited amounts. Storage space at Kansas City and Omaha was scarce and elevator demand was of small volume. notwithstanding the attractive carry ing cnarge aiiorded Dy tne spread between cash and future prices. Grain stocks at Kansas City were the largest since 1924, totalnig nearly 21,- Wheat stocks for 500,000 bushels. the country as a whole, however, have decreased materially since the peak reacnea at tne first of January and on February 25 totaled about 126 million bushels, or about 50 million bushels more than a year ago. Protein premiums were rather ir regular but in general No. 2 hard winter wheat. 12 protein, was miot- ed at Kansas City at 1 to 4 cents un der the Kansas City price, which closed March 1 at $1.21; 12 was selling at 2 cents under to 1 cent over the May price and 13 at the May price to 4 cents over. No. 2 hard winter at Omaha was quoted at $1.16; low protein wheat was in the best demand at that market: 13 No. 1 hard winter was quoted delivered Texas common points at $1.31 to $1.32. Spring wheat was also in slow demand although there was a fair in quiry for the hieh protein tvDes: 12 protein No. 1 dark northern was quoted at Minneapolis at the May to 1 cents over, price of $1.24 5 to 10 cents over and 13 to 20 cents over the May. No. 1 dark northern was quoted at uuiuth at to 20 cents over the Min neapolis May price and No. 1 north ern at the May price to 18 cents over: there was a marked increase in ship ments to outsdie points from that market during the week. The Canadian cash wheat was rela. tively steadier than domestic markets and the declines in cash prices were practically the same as in the futures. No. 1 northern Manitoba was emoted at Winnipeg March 1 at $1.28, wmcn wouia compare in a general way with the best types of No. 1 dark northern, which sold at Minneto $1.44. Durum apolis at $1.37 wheat was weaker with other classes of spring wheat Offerings of Du rum satisfactory for millnig were very small and premiums for this class of wheat held steady.
