Well, if you are a dairyman, or a farmer who keeps dairy cows, John A. Arey, Extension specialist of the State College, BUggests several fobs vou can do in Jan- l . . uary to more economically and sat isfactorily manage your cow herd. He reminds that cut-over land be shrubbed off preparatory to seeding it to permanent pasture the latter part of February. "It is much ea.ier to develop a good sod on this kind of land, which is f rtile and full of organic matter, than on depleted soils," the spe cialist stated. Other jobs for January liited by Arey are: BuTd and repair fenci and dairy buildings. Build a safe ty bull pen. Start the new year rignt Dy placing your herd in a Dairy Herd Improvtment Associa tion. It is the surest way to learn whether your cows are "earninc their keep" and whether" vi u am providing them with the correct! amount and kind of feed. Also as a suggestion for every winter month, the Extension dairy man said that the cow stall should be bedded liberally with cut stov er, wheat straw, or oat straw. "Bedding not only provides com fort for the cow, but it also holds the valuable manure which is large y lost when the amount of beddg is insufficient, or the kind used is not absorbent. "Cut stover is the best type if cow stall bedding, with oat straw next best, and wheat straw third," Arey said. "Pine needles and shavings are of the least value."

Later a few began to recognize the beauty of its slender and transparent oimine. Not until after the World war, however, did It come into its full glory. Then it was hired as s gigantic billboard, and the whole of it was brilliantly lighted each night, pleasing and dazzling Parisians and foreign visitors alike. In 1937 it was made a part of the exhibition, and its place as a decorative part of the landscape of Paris was conclusive ly proved at last. ARE EASILY FOUND IN BELlK-OilUOSON'S I GIFT AND TOY DEPARTMENTS The part that the. Christmas Seal with its double-baried cross plays in carrying on the Crusade against tuberculosis is very '.interesting. The Christmas Seal is not so very old. A man in Denmark first thought of it, Einar Holboell, and he worked in a post office. One day he asked himself, "Why would n't it hp a pnnH iilpn tn raicp ivmnoir to care for sick children by selling people penny seals to ducoiate their Christmas packages?" The more he thousrht of it. the mnrp pnt.hna- lastic ne Decame. The royal lamily ! ti !of Denmark became interested and the money was found to print the seals, They sold so rapidly that soon there was money enough to build a children's hospital and the lives of many little ones were sav ed. But while the King of Den mark and his family .provided mon ey for printing and advertised the sale by sponsoring it, the interest ing point is that the idea came from a man of thn iwnnU u,Vin had little monev but crpnt nvm. pathy for the sick and helpless. In! . seme uie vnrisimas Seal was born among the not-so-wealthy classes, and has been sup ported by them ever since. Then it came to America. Jacob Riis, a great American who had come as a poor emigrant boy from Denmark, received one of these Christmas seals on a letter from his old home. At once ha km. to find out about it, because he was 1 wiat sort or man. When he secured nis lniormation, he thought the idea was a good one for America, so ne wrote an article about it for a popular magazine. And down i in Washington, Delaware, a wo I man who wanted desperately to m a iuDercuiosis pavilion for some sick children whom she loved, read the article and decided to try the v.nSCmaa eai idea. Her name was Jmny f. Bissell. In America there was ho royal "iuy to wnom to turn. Miss Bissell took her idea to a newspa per. The editor was not interested at nrst, out a reporter Leigh M Hodges, who knew the ways of the people who make up the nation was so enthusiastic that he soon won the editor. "Tell Miss Bissell i..c orwi American is hers for the holidays. Give her all the time you can spare and take all the space you need," ordered the chief. When one day a little newsboy came into the office with a penny for a stal and said, "Gimme one. Me sister's got it," Mr. Hode-es kn that the Christmas Seal was cer tain to succeed. MRS.
