Farmer Gets Half of Average Milk Price COSTS the in average housewife United States 15.9 cents a quart for milk. This is the figure based on returns for April of 97 of ' the principal cities pt the United States in every state in the Union, compiled by the department of agriculture. For the milk which costs the housewife 10 cents (approximately) the farmers of the United States get from 4 cents up to 13 cents an average of ' 8 cents. Thus, of every dollar spent for milk In the United States, the dairy farmer gets only 50 cents. The other 50 cents covers the costs which come between farmer and consumer freight, distribution and profits of the middleman. The range of prices in April to the farmer who produces milk varied throughout the United States. In New Engiand the farmer got from 6 to 10 cents a quart ; in the east north central states they got from 5 to 8 cents ; in the west north central states from 5 to 8 cents; in the south Atlantic states from 7 to 13 cents; in the east south central region from 6 to 8 cents ; in the west south central states from 6 to 11 cents; in the mountain states from 6 to 9 cents, and in the Pacific states from 4 to 9 cents per quart. Savannah, Ga., has the highest retail price for milk from 35 to 30 cents a quart to the family trade. Many milk. The other cities have cities with the lowest milk prices of IT those reporting to the agricultural department are Seattle, Milwaukee and Green Bay, Wis., where the price is 12 cents a quart to family trade. Salt Lake City has a price of 12 cents a quart. Every other city of the 97 reporting has prices above 12 cents. In 1914 the average price per quart of milk was only 8 cents. By 1918 it had risen to an average of 14 cents; now it is near 16 cents. This represents an increase of nearly 100 per cent ; That the farmer is not profiteering is indicated by the fact that the costs of all foodstuffs and other elements entering into the production of milk have risen more than the milk price. Out of 25 principal cities in the United States the farmer fares worst and the distributing company best in Omaha, Neb., where 57.1 per cent of the price of a quart of milk goes to the company and 42.8 per cent to the farmer. HEP HEP to the number of enrolled in 1919 in the United States school garden army. With the hew year the problems that confront educators are to increase this army, to make the garden work more permanent and to increase its educational value. The motto of the garden army A Garden for Every Child, can only be Every Child In a Garden realized when gardening becomes a definite part of school work. City child rep will form habits of Industry and regularity by utilizing their energies on the back yards and vacant lots that are now largely und home productive. gardening requires only a imlted amount of school time, but it should have as definite a place 'and credit as CHILDREN School-supervise- ' any other school subject As a practical hours subject gardening admits of the widest kind of correlation with other studies. There Is no school subject from which more real knowledge may be gained of science, of art of lifes relations than from dealing with living, growing plants. The formation of companies should be continued. The company simply establishes a working unit that may Include a class,1 a school or any other group adapted to local conditions. The number in a company may vary from ten to 50. Each company' should have a captain and one or two lieutenants, the latter depending on the number of pupils enlisted.

Back-Yar- 0 (Prepared by the United States Depart- -' ment of Agriculture.) Rabbits have always been an important source of meat in Europe,'' but In the United States until recently few of them were eaten except during the winter bunting season.. Conditions resulting from thev great war have awakened many Americans, to the economic value of rabbits and more and more people each year are raising sufficient in their back yards, to supply the family, table. The flesh of the young domesticated rabbits is vastly superior in fiber and flavor to that of the wild rabbits. It closely resembles the white meat of chicken. , doe can easily A prolific raise in a year 20 young, which at 5 months will produce not less than 50 pounds of delicious meat. By means of compound hutches all this can be ADVISABLE TO PRUNE AND SJAKE TOMATOES Question Is Asked Every Year By Many Gardeners. Advantages Are That Larger Number of Plants Can Be Bet on Given Area Quality of , Fruit Is Usually Much Better. Does it pay to prune tomato vines to a single stem .and tie them to stakes or to a trellis? This question Is asked every year by thousands of home gardeners. It does pay, according to United States department of agriculture specialists, especially if the space for garden purposes is limited, and it is desired to make the best use of it. Tomato plants. If left to themselves, have a habit of spreading all over the garden and of producing their fruit right on the ground, where ft becomes covered with dirt every time there is a rain. Advantages of pruning and staking tomatoes are that a larger number of plants can be set on a given area than by the ordinary method ; the fruit will ripen a little earlier on the plants that are pruned and staked; and the fruit is held off the ground, is clean, and easy to gather. While the Individual plants do not produce so large a quantity of fruit as when they are allowed to spread upon the ground, at least three times as many plants can be set on a given area, thereby actually increasing the quantity of tomatoes produced. The quality of the fruit Is usually better on the plants that are pruned and tied to stakes. Small round' poles about four feet In length, sharpened at one end, make the most desirable tomato stakes for the home garden. The best proof that staking tomatoes pays Is found in the fact that the best home gardeners follow the practice. Br VINCENT C. PERRY. 1920, by McClure ( Newspaper Syndicate.) The dreamers sat side by side on a log, looking away out over the waters of the lake. The scene was strangely rippling peaceful tiny, waves gently kissing the wet line of the beach, made the only sound. Then from out of the horizon rose- - thin, black line, a line that widened as the minutes passed, widened and swelled Into smoke clouds. Fascinated, the pair watched nndl the great lake freighter, with Its belching smokestack, was clearly outlined and gained moNearer and nopoly of the Beene. nearer 'came the freighter a steady, onward force that rode the mighty waters with the air of a conqueror. . Someday I am going to be like that" The girl broke the silence. I am going to spring up out of the background and swiftly take a place of prominence In the world. Like that steamer, I will travel on and on, nothing will stop me, nothing can, until I have achieved greatness. The boy smiled. He, too bad ' dreams. I will be like these waves, 'he said. I will travel slowly, gently, j surely. I will go aronnd the things In my way, pass over or carry with me the small I may be pushed back, like things, the waves, but like them I will come back again. Always I will be reaching out, out, out. It was many years later. Jack Temple, millionaire broker, left his office, his head heavy and aching. Big business had meant always a headacbe for Jack. Despite his remarkable achievements and his world-wid- e fame as the cleverest and coolest financier on Wall street, he still faced every battle nervously, still battled at a tension; but none save Jack knew that to Wall street he was a man without nerves, a man with an Iron constitution. It was for men like Jack "the tired business man form of entertainment was Invented, but the glrlie-glr- l shows had no attraction for him that night. Anything but a musical show, he told his chauffeur, after he had given I dont up the thought of eating. care where. Even melodrama would be welcome tonight. So It was that the car drew up at a small theater playing The Bubble Breakers. ' The name could apply to any show, but the glaring lithographs displayed In front of the theater proclaimed it melodrama without a doubt. Jack went in without flinching. He smiled-whehis chauffeur declined an Invitation to accompany him that in itself was sufficient guarantee that the show was a poor one, but Jack was there at his own bidding, and he never went back on himself. The house was well filled. The cheaper seats were all occupied, but some of the more expensive ones were vaeant Jacks seat was near the front! The curtain went up on the first act before the millionaire had a chance to study the types around him. The scene was a beach. The water in the background was a poor scenic effect, but the log and the pair seated upon It looked natural enough. Then appeared at the head of the canvas a black line. It was some time before the audience could grasp that it was Intended for smoke, but when lights appeared and the form of a poorly painted lake freighter attached Itself to the thin smoke line the 'Fiddle was Lenore. You must know that we do not receive visitors in our dressing rooms," Lenore started In. Even small show actresses have pride, Mr. Temple. Well spoken, little girl, Jack said in his most fatherly tone. I was sure I should find you a modest little girl like this. I have come to make a proposition to you. I would like you to leavp this life I would like to educate you give you ,, the chance the modern girl craves for In social life. Mr. Temple, Lenore had risen to her full height, and her head was held high, you must think, Indeed, that I am inexperienced to be so taken in by such an impossible offer. The thing Is preposterous ! "There ! I guess I have gone the wrong way about it I am a foolish old man, Jack muttered half to himself. I am more at home on the stock market than In a young girls dressing room. There was a genuine note In his tone that Lenore recognized. But why should you make me such an offer you a stranger?" she 'asked In wonder. , Like a father to a child. Jack started in. It was an ordinary story of a broken romance a girl with big ambitions and a man who wanted to stay at ..home. The broken engagement the departure of the girl for the city' his search for her, which ended in bringing him to the whirl of the citys business and eventually to the success : of his career. But in ail these years I have never even heard of her.
