Songs of the
0 die U. S. Department ol Agriculture.
Of course, tho poets and writers of
tight opera nro nil wrong when tboy
try to make out that farming Is n busi
ness wherein tho Jovial harvesters
Join hands with thu merry villagers
and dance around a Maypole, singing
roundelays. They are taking too liter
ally Shakespeare's observation that
"All tho world's n stage." Thero Is
something about routing out the cows
in tho morning before sunup, nnd
something about piloting u plow
through heavy soil and salty sweat,
that does not conduce to song.
Hut (hero are fann songs, and farm
ing songs. Tho country heard a lot
of them last fall when volunteer help
ers went out from the cities to help
meet tho situation created by heavy
yields nnd few harvesters. Most of
that singing was doao on tho way to
and from tho fields, but It was pretty
good singing, anyway. And then thero
nro songs heard mostly at fann bu
reau meetings and tho like. All that
Is necessary to prove that formers can
sing when they want to Is to hear n
dozen or a hundred of them Join In
thhi using thu tune of "Old ninck
Joo:"
done nro the days when my (arm return
ed no pay, .
(lone nra the folks who uiicd (o call mo
"Jay."
(lone aro my debt for the better cropi I
STOW,
I hear my neighbors' voice calling-,
"Form nurenu."
Youth, however, Is tho springtime of
life, nnd springtime Is the sonson when
tho human family, and the birds nnd
the locusts nnd the organ grinders,
seem most disused to muke a more
or less harmonious noise. Therefore,
It Is among the fann youth In the
springtime of life that you will find
tho most singing of and at their dally
tasks. Tho boys' and 'girls' clubs, or
ganized under the direction of tho
United States department of agricul
ture and the state agricultural col
legos, have more songs than you can
shako a stick at. And how they can
sing 'em!
Imagine that you nre sitting In the
shade of nn ofd npplo tree In the green
fields of Virginia or Maryland, my
Mnryland, or some plneo like that.
Down the road comes a hunch of gar
den club boys nnd girls, with spades
nnd rakes on their shoulders nnd the
light of achievement In their eyes.
They nre singing, nnd the strains nre
the saino ns'ln thnt "Over There" song
that went from Hroadwny to Chateau
Thierry nnd hack again. Listen:
Johnnie, sot your hue, set ynur hoe, get
your hoe;
Mnry, dig your row, die your row, ills
your row.
Down to business, girl and boys.
Learn to know the gnrdener' Joys.
Uncle Snm'n In need-pull tho weed, plant
a seed,
While the sunbeam lurk, do not shirk.
Bet to work.
Preserving Asparagus by
the "Cold Pack" Method
Aspnrngtis may be preserved by tho
"cold pack" method. Cut the stalks to
n leni-th Hint will tiennlt them tostuntl
upright In tho Jars. Hlanch by putting
them in boUIIng water for two mm
utes. Run cold water over them and
then plnce In tho Jars which havo
been previously sterilized with boiling
wnter tips upward. Put u tenspoonful
of salt In each Jar and till to within
half nn Inch of the top with boiling
wnter. Put on the lids, hut do not
tighten them. Holl In wnter sulllclent
to cover Jnrs for an hour nnd n half.
When taken from boiling water tighten
tho lids, being sure to keep tho Jnrs
out of n draft, which might cnuso tho
hot glass to crack. Stand upside down
overnight. If no leak Is shown they
may bo stored nway safely; If thero Is
n leak put on now rubbers and repent
tho hour nnd-n half boiling process.

Club Workers
All the lads must spade the ground;
All the girl must hustle 'round!
All together In the chorus:
Over thero, over there;
Send n. word, send a word, over there,
That the lad are hoeing-, the girls are
lowing.
The crop aro growing everywhere.
Each a garden must prepare; "
Do your bit, so that all of u can share
With the boys, with the boys
Who will not come back 'till lt' over,
over there!
Their fresh young voices nh, If nil
vegetables were ns fresh die nway In
the distance. Hut from over the hill
another group of boys approaches.
You know they nro pig club boys, for
to the tune of "Itow, How, Ilow Yoar
Hont" they nro singing
Grow, grow, grow a pig
Fatter every day.
Merrily, merrily, cheerily, cheerily:
Half our work la play.
And here comes some rosy-cheeked
girls, nil dressed up In white aprons
nnd snowy caps, and everything they
catch what the boys nro singing, nnd
they reply:
Can, can. all you can;
Can and put It away.
Merrily, merrily, cheerily, cheerily;
Half our work 1 play.
Close behind them arc some sewing
club girls, and now they arc singing:
Sew, eew, new n seam;
Sew the time nway.
Merrily, merrily, cheerily, cheerily;
Half our work Is play.
And over In thnt field, can those chil
dren be the Little Ho-Pecps nnd Little
Hoy Hlucs of today?
No; nothing Mother Goose-like nbout
them; nothing but the sheep nnd
their song:
. I.lttlo llo-Peep,
Come raise some sheep;
And you do It, too,
Little Hoy lllue.
So It goes with you In the shade of
the old npple tree, listening to the
club hoys nnd the club girls as they
tell In song the merits of their respec
tive nvocntlons. And then. Just like
In a show, they all troop back again,
and, like the grand chorus In nn opera,
to n tune you recognize, this rises:
There were club boys on the hillside.
There were club boys on the plain.
And the country found them ready
At the call for meat and grain.
Let none forget their service
A the club boys pass along.
For, although the war Is over.
They are singing still this song.
The- chorus comes like n cataract:
Keep the home cow milking.
And tho club corn silking;
Tell 'the Idle boy and girls
To work for Home.
There' a club pig growing.
While the grain we're sowing
ltooit the club, work night and day
Till wo "Live at Home."

TIPS FOR THE
P0ULTRYMAN
Chickens and fruit make a combi
nation hard to beat. Plum trees do es
pecially well in . the poultry ynrd.
Chickens nre n benefit to any orcli
nrd. There are beard complaints that
fruit tree uSI not do well !n the chick
en yard, but In every csso the owner
of the ynrd had set out trees without
regard to their suitability for the lo
cality. A man who Is willing to buy fruit
trees os he Would lumber need not ex
pect to get good results anywhere. Tho
purchase of fruit trees Is n matter for
study and Investigation. Find out from
the neighbors what varieties of apples.
pears, plums, peaches and cherries do
well In your locality. Then choose a
reliable nurseryman nnd take his ad
vice on varieties and location. Ask
your college or the horticultural de
partment. A man who doesn't know
what varieties to buy and says so, will
get tho benefit of tho experience of
those who know. Whereas, a-man who
doesn't know nnd will not admit, Is
not likely to be satisfied with his plant
ing, nnd If he has planted In the chick
en yard will find the chickens handy
ns a senpegout.
Chickens nre n by-product on most
farms. For that reason, It Is some
times best to hnve, colony houses al
together for summer use, nnd movo
tho chickens where they can pick up
tho most food.
Banana and Pineapple Salad.
Plnco rings of pineapple on crisp
lcttuco and In tho center place a small
cono of banana, by cutting tho end of
each carefully nnd setting It candlo
like on tho pineapple. Sprinkle gen
erously with paprika on top and servo
with n boiled dressing, adding chopped
nuts to tho dressing If desired.
Olive and Celery Sandwiches.
Chop equal quantities of heart col
cry nnd stuffed olive, moisten with
salad dressing nnd spread on well
buttered bread.
Mint and Cucumber Sandwich
Slice cucumbers and sprinkle with
mljiced jinlnt, dip In French dressing
or add u hit of any boiled dressing
plucu between slice of buttered bread,
