J -J U M A N Youth Must Be ‘Sold’ on Rural Life. Bantam Chickens Prove Profitable About the smartest creature with feathers is the bantam chicken. Such characteristics of bantams as intel ligence, small size and finally the practical fact that they produce eggs has made them favorites in many sections of the country. Many families keep a bantam for about the same reason that they keep a dog. The profit of the breeder and fan cier is high as compared with main tenance, as these miniatures only consume one-fifth as much as the large breeds. Buyers will pay from $1.50 to $4 for a setting of quality eggs. Breeders sell single birds from $2 to $15, while fanciers readi ly refuse twice that price. It’s not expensive to "house ban tams. If they are to be raised on the ground a yard 4 by 12 feet will provide ample space for a rooster and two hens—for breeding pur poses. If housing is for eggs, six or eight hens can be raised in this same space. A number of bantam breeders are raising their stock on wire flooring. The same size pen or inclosure is used but it is raised about two feet off the ground. All ages develop well on wire flooring. hands are not the only agency that can atcal or damage your car. Flood w atert, lightning, tornado, hail, explotioo can cause comprehensive auto equally costly damage. By EUGENE L. SPARROW Through some hokus-pocus, char acterizations of city life usually are taken from the exceptionally fortu nate examples but .the examples of country life are drawn from the “Tobacco Road’’ and “Grapes of Wrath” strata. This custom of comparing the best of urban life with the worst of rural existence is an injustice to farm boys and girls and a threat to the welfare of the nation. Young men and women exposed through forma tive years to literature, art, mov ies and drama which distorts the true picture of city and country are likely to believe they can be happy only where success is measured in terms of millions. The glare of city millionaires hides slums and poverty that are more typical of great cities than the im mense wealth so often cited. The average amount of property accu mulated by farmers is greater than the average for city workers. Rural parents can counteract the publicity favorable to city life by teaching their children to share ear ly in the responsibilities and the re wards of farm life. Encouragement for the t>oy or girl to raise live stock, gardens, or crops, and owner ship of the profits help in making farming brighter for children.

Rats and mice are not so likely to chew a well-oiled harness. Any good neats- foot oil compound will seal the pores in the harness and protect it against acid and dampness, while the oil also protects the metal parts against rust. Before oiling, har ness should be taken apart and cleaned and weak parts replaced. After oiling, the harness should be dried in a warm room.
