All. but two of them are on foot; one Woman has had a “stroke’? but can get about and help herself. Sbe is 85. The other is just past eighty, and has a sprain ed hip,- using crutches to go about her house. ., , One old man, 86, is a veteran of the civil war; another will be 88 at his next birthday. It.l^ihteresting to watch these old boys and girls, who have some- hov^onie mighty close, to living the right way, else they could not have acfiii^tl all these years with such success; I .meet many of half their ages v^bygeally complain more than they do. ^ / And they know just a little more about what is good for them to •ea^than I do. I •never put.them ,pn a diet, exceptask them to eat what *agreesi’~wj.th them. If I caught one old fellow eating salt ed-peanuts gnd toppingoff-with dee cream, I would not stop him. If one has diabetes, 1 de not by any means cut off a reasonable amount of sugar froi»-4ws-tflftary. -I have always been a stickler for let ting well enough alone. ['One of them—just went out my door this moment—has a leg ulcer. I keep DRY dressings applied while it heals nicely. He laughs over the situation, nof at all like a much younger man would do. Ai^. my old people are so appreciative; they make one love them. They hjuioe lived all these years, I have no doubt, on that very principle. The fepw who is eternally finding fault is in a poor way to live out a long and Beautiful existence, because he bums up the good within him. We yolmger ones may learn from this. ^ HORSE SENSE Somehow, I can't get away from the good old plan of oating because I am hungry—the best reason on earth, isn’t it? If you are not hungry—and have no appetite when you should have one—then some thing may be wrong; better see your doctor,—that’s what he’s for. It may be an easy time to set you right. Then—I still cling to the ancient plan of eating things that taste good. What’s wrong with that? Just Why should I be obligated to force down stuff that I despise? Eating is part of my reward for being a good, industrious boy.; That also applies to you, dear read er. If you are a girl, simply change genders in this letter and 30 ahead. Boys are not so different from girls, when it comes to living and eating. Those two good old rules-^aeat because you are hungry, and cat what tastes good. It will take a lot of theory to scare up better ones. But . . . people get to figuring on “balanced ration,” and “calories,’ and they fuss around about them, with an air of superior learning. First thing you know, you are off on the trail of “vitamines,” and then you don’t lack much of being in over your head! You get,afraid to eat white bread—really the most nutritious, best tasting bread in the world. Are you scared of white bread? One of my contem poraries refers to certain bread alarms as “the vitamin fad.” That’s not far from right. I’ve written thousands of words on diet and eating—yes, millions. After all, T believe I feel better by practicing plain horse sense, Jiat tells me not to eat too much—but what I like.

That means that she raised at least one dairy calf, showed it at one or more fairs with success, kept records on ev ery item of expense and income on it, and perhaps won a place on a demonstration or dairy judging team. She may have done all these, and even more, for it takes such records to win a state honor these days. If this heifer calf turns out as well as it should and her new own er continues in dairy work the way some other 4-H girls have she may only have started on the road to fame and fortune. Few club mem bers are so fortunate in getting dairy calves of the ancestry thiL' one has. And it is only possible for the Missouri college to be able to offer such stock through the generosity of a leading breeder of the state in giving the college a herd on which he had spent much money and time to build up. This is the late F.W.A. Vesper’s herd, which numbers about 50 animals. No doubt many other club mem bers will be awarded calves from this celebrated herd as the years go on. Leola’s prize calf comes from parentage with known records. Its sire is parent of heifers which nave made high records at the pail. Three yielded an average of 16,697 pounds of milk containing 521 pounds of butterfat within a year. They did this as 2-year olds. This is two to three times the production of the general run of cows of that age. These records were supervis ed by the college dairy fieldmen, sc they are accurate. The calf’s mo ther gave 12,045 pounds of milk containing 391 pounds of butterfat as a 2-year-old. Among the im mediate ancestors are animals which have as good or better rec ords. So Leola has a heifer with great possibilities. And all be cause she went in for 1-H-training and stuck to it. -X- Recipes For Lamb >s As Parisians Like It Lamb is a'food highly favored in Paris.

The tree was planted in a field with other slash- pine seedlings in 1926. The other pines have also developed well, but this tree holds the record. #<***• Public Sales Made Here On Monday J. T.

V. Starkey, chief of animal husbandry, discussing winter care of sh£ep. Cold waves are not ob- jectioriable fbr sheep, he states; in fact, sheep thrive best in dry, cold climates. Freezes and frosts are very helpful in controlling stomach worms and other parasites. Furthermore, sheep are well pro tected with heavy fleece and do not suffer from cold unless the fleeces happen to be wet when the cold spell comes on. A cold, rainy sea son may cause some trouble in the flock because the fleeces do not dry out quickly. Prof. Starkey makes these fur ther suggestions: “An ideal sheep shed is one which keeps the backs dry. It should also be dry under foot and free from drafts. To avoid drafts it is advisable to have the sheep shed closed on three sides, the open side facing the east. “Exercise for the pregnant ewes is absolutely necessary. The run of a good pasture where they can secure some green picking is desir able. It is of course necessary to have fresh water accessible and eonvenient at all times. Frequently ewes which are thin in flesh mire when they go to the streams if the mud is deep. This is another argu ment for keeping the ewes -.n flesh and strong. “Recent investigations point tc the fact that sheep will tolerate a rather heavy infestation of intern al parasites if they are well fee and in good flesh. It is therefore doubly important to feed the ewes well in this South Carolina climate, which is generally favorable to the multiplication of internal para sites.” txi One of the prehistoric Ameri- -iii dinosaurs known as the ste- saurus weighed seven to ten tons :;nd yet had a brain weighing less an three ounces. 1 xi Color blindness is four times as evalent among whites as among nerican Indians, is the report of an anthropologist who has just ^.mpleted a study.

X Names for types of clouds— stratus, cumulus, cirrus and nimbus —were invented in 1803 by an Eng lishman, Luke Howard, FLORENCE, Dec. 3.—The old- method of growing tobacco plants will have to be revised, says H. A. McGee, extension tobacco special ist, discussing possibilities of avoid ing the heavy damage suffered last season from downy mildew or blue mold in tobacco plantbsds. He suggests that the plantbed covers be used just as little as necessaty, and that a succession of seedings be made, the first at the ordinary time with others at the grower’s discretion. • “Sunlight and a free circulation of air are known to be detrimental to all fungus growth,” Mr. McQpe continues. “The air pocket which is produced under the plantbed cover has proven its worth in pro viding the best known condition for the growth of tobacco plants, but this same air pocket also provides ideal conditions for the develop ment of mold spores, which we are trying to avoid. So we would sug gest that the plantbed cover be used only to protect the young plants against the cold and insect injury, and that it be removed at the earliest possible time and re placed only in case of threatening danger from frost or insects. “Prepare your beds in the ordin ary manner, except it may be ad visable to select a little higher and better drained location and to fer tilize a little heavier before seeding. Ordinarily we do not recommend forcing plants unduly, out under mold conditions it seems advisable to maintain a good grov/th and tc get the plants off the beds as early as possible. For ohis, plenty of plant food must be available at all times and plenty of »vo.ter supplied. A light application j* nitrate of soda may be given at any time the plants show a neec of additional plant food . Ihis i best applied in solution not strong er than one teaspoonful to the gallon of water, springled on even ly and followed immediately with £ good watering.” Suggesting also an open bee method, Mr. McGee says: “ThL bed is prepared by laying off the ground in four-foot and two-foot strips. The soil is shoveled out of the two-foot strip and thrown on tu the four-foot stripu This operation tends to elevate the plantbed area and provides better drainage, with a walkway between the beds. These beds should be made ready at least one month before seeding, and should be seeded later than the ordinary time and the plants forced throughout their growing period. The young plants are to be pro tected by either ordinary jute bag ging or by burlap, covers made of old bags sewn together. The cov ers are laid flat down on the ground and are removed every morning and, replaced at night,, as weather conditions might, require.” TIME COUNTS when you 9 re in PAIN!
