(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The poets, when they got going on the calendar, usually ran to spring nnd summer months, ending at about “knee deep In, June.” Thomas Hood did succeed in getting as far as No vember, but It wasn’t q good poem. i>h. It whs a clever piece of crafts manship, nnd nil that, but unjust. It was all negatives—“No morn, no noon, no other time of day; no sun, no moon, no t’other side the way”—some such libelous stuff as that about a perfectly gorgeous month. But they didn’t write even negative eulogies of December. Poe mentioned It, along with “dying ember,” “midnight dreary,” and such like gobs of gloom. Just the same, December might be made the subject of a .cry excellent poem. Indeed, with a verse here and a verse there; ft ma^almost he said that the United States department of agricul ture has written a great poem on It— one of the didactic kind that, in addi tion to adorning'-the tale, p.^ffls a moral, entitled to he considered poetry because truth is beauty, and beauty Is poetry. The theme of the thing must be said to. be that December Is such a tremendously important month to the farmer. December Important FatJm Mohth.

The pro cedure is explained on the list that is furnished by the department of agri culture. Chimney-Corner College Co-educational Every farmer owes It to himself and his family to find a little time to go to school every winter—to read half a dozen, or a dozen, or 20 bulletins that will help him make better crops, to keep his live stock in better con dition with less feed, to carry on his operations with less exhausting strain on himself. It should he mentioned, too, that this chimney-corner college of agriculture is co-educational. A very large propor tion of the bulletins are devoted to household subjects. They contain In-' formation that will enable the farmer’s wife better to carry her half of the load—to feed the family better with less work., to realize more for the por tion of the farm output that comes under her direction, to have the mini mum of inconvenience In the house and to get the maximum of comfort out of it—a thousand'things that will The Language Plant. “Why have words roots, pa?” “To make the language grow, child.”—Ba 111 more A merien n. my DON’T WHIP!

None the less. It does come very' close to being tire most Important month in the year for the farmer. It Is a month of such tremendous potentiality, a month whose usefulness may be so spread out over the other 11. There ’Is no end of things that should be done in December besides getting reddy for Christmas. That, to borrow a phrase from a very old charge on duty, '“Is not on any ac count to be neglected,” hut It Is due to be coordinated.

Before Starting on Enterprise It la Advisable to Consider How Ani mals Can Be Disposed of to Best Advantage. (Prepared by the United States-Depart ment of Agriculture.) The -Attractive, not to say startling, mathematical calculations which are sometimes made in estimating breeding possibilities of rabbits not infrequently Here are reasons why the fine, fresh pork tenderloins and pork chops, or savory ham, or crinkly bacon, which you enjoy for break fast, cost much more per pound than the market quotation on live hogs which you read in the -newspaper: * An average hog weighs 220 pounds. *, ^ * • Of this/only 70 per cent (154 pounds) is meat and lard. \ V So, when we pay 15< a pound for live hogs, we are really paying more than 21^ a pound for the meat which we will get from these animals, even after taking into account the value of the. by-products. But people show j* ©reference for only one-third of tho whole—the pork chops, fancy bacon, and choice cuts '•-» # , • from juicy hams. *> * *- # This means that when we are sell ing Premium bacon at 43V2F' per pound wholesale and Premium hams at 30<, there are other parts for which we get as low as 6^ or 8? per pound. The net result is an average profit to us of less than 1^ a pound. The choice cuts are higher because of a demand for them. • -fr* —-y-r—- Another thing: Only 35 pounds of the entire hog—or about 1 /6 th—is usually marketed at once. The rest must be pickled, cured, or smoked. This takes months, and adds to the casts which must be met. \ • ** Switt & Company, U.S.A. % 1(4 M.IMlC.OL'S 112.96* rTiLT j a • . ‘. ....... ..iLji Persons to engage in rabbit time to rend all spring, summer; Trim } . “ , — —= r - A fall Now. he does begin to ha\e a | 1 , » , , , . , prob era.

Proper Soil for Trees. In planting trees* and shrubbery any kind particular attention must be given to the soil. Rich soli is essen tial. The soil around the home, espe cially In cities, is Usually filled in or graded down to clay. Plants cannot grow In soil that contains an abun dance of stones, coarse gravel, cin ders, subsoil day, and sand. Use rich soil, for the top layer at least even though*It may be necessary to haul if several miles. Ists of the United States department of agriculture and other specialists at. the state agricultural college have em bodied in bulletins the result of long and patient labor, on various things pertaining to farming, have put in type facts that will mean dollars to the farmer who learns them and puts them into practice. Pupils Study What They Like. _ Of course, this chimney-corner school of agriculture allows its 1 stu dents a lot of leeway. The curriculum Is largely elective. The farmer N nmy study this and leave the otjier alone, as his interests may dictate. But there will be enough bulletins that are of Interest to him to make a pretty full course of study.* If he has neglected his education at all and isn’t -up* to his grade.” there may be a great deal more than he can handle In one winter. The United States depart ment of agriculture hqs been publish ing bulletins for a great ■ many years. There are more than a thou sand farmers’ bulletins now on the list, and every one of them discusses something that means money to a large class of fanners. Many of the subjects have been supplemented and localized by state agencleSc—the agri cultural college or the state depart ment of agriculture. There is abso lutely no reason why any farmer may not have all the scientific information that exists on all phases of agricul ture that mean anything in his par ticular operation. All he has to do Is to go to school to himself by his own fireside. If he needs tutoring, there Is the county agent whom he can con sult. when he goes to town on Satur- day^or ha might possibly have the agent out to supper and a session by the fireside some night. The United States department of ag riculture maintains printed lists of its various publications, arranged by sub jects. Any farmer—or any city dwell-, er or suburbanite whrf'is interested in chickens or a garden Or any of t^e„ "things that pertain to fanning—cyn have a copy merely by siting for it. For the average farmer It la worth f n •freeing over, reading the. the vicinity of towns where there are restaurants. hot*4s and boarding houses, arrangements can usually be made to furnish "market men or land- lords a regular number of rabbits weekly. But one.should not begin rais ing rabbits OU" a large scale *in a lo cality where’ people are unaccustomed to eating them. No breeder can ex pect to make a profit until he has de veloped a market. He can demonstrate the desirability of the meat*of young rabbits to-his neighbors and sometimes to other.agenciesT If a breeder is not able to carry out an educational cam paign singly, he should endeavor to or ganize with others In such an under taking. By combining they can save cost in advertising and stabilize their output. — Rabbits of recognized breeds con forming In size, build and color to ac cepted standards are always in de mand for breeding stock.
