"' One item that should be on every
farmer's winter chore list is. a check
of barn Occident hazards, says L C.
Yage, .county agent for. the State
College litenflion Servica; s Before
; the rush of spring work starts there
should be ample time to spot them and
see that they are removed. TlO'''
Check your barn for, loose objects
or things that n.ay cause falls. High
door sills, abrupt changes in floor
levels, weak boards, protruding cleats
or other tripping hazards should be
removed. All floors should be solid,
smooth and continuous. Do Borne
housecleaning and set things in order
if the alleyways or work areas are ob
structed with feed, tools, harness, feed
carts or other obstacles. Don't work
in the dark; see that dangerous corn
ers and work centers are well lighted.
.Avoid storing' loose materials over
head and see that forks or other barn
equipment are kept in safe places.
Loft doors, feed chutes and ladders
need special attention. A well con
structed stairway that is hand-railed
and kept clean provides the safest and
easiest passage to hay, mows. It is
dangerous to use stairwells as feed
chutes because loose hay or straw
makes footing uncertain. Separate
feed chutes with guard above the loft
floor are desirable. Where a ladder is
used see that it extends well above
the loft floor. It should also have
well-spaced stout rungs that are plac
ed far enough from the wall for se
cure footing. All elevated platforms
should be equipped with a railing and
accessible from a safe ladder.

In the days of our pioneer ancestors
in hia couatry not many people suf
fered from mental depression, not
very many were neurotics. It was be
cause they were too busy earning a
living for themselves and thear large
families. Most of them were strug
gling to bring up their children to be
decent, self-supporting, aelf -respect
ing, tkxWeanng citizens of 'this great
republic. . tiiiy'f.ri-.'
Elbert Hubbard, (the sage of East
Aurora said, "Work is the great pan
acea for grief end trouble." He. was
right. Jinstead of brooding over your
disappointments, go to nature and ob
serve what she ia doing. All nature's
children are so busy about their own
particular job that they do not have
tame to mope and pity themselves.
They are all happy.
The birds too can teach you a lesson,
It was, raining and dreary one morn
ing, but I heard a little bird singing
sweetly in a tree. I think that he
was thanking God for those crumbs
that I threw out for his breakfast.
That is something else to lift you out
of your depression,- viz thankfulness.
If we were as grateful to God for all
of His goodness as we should be, we
would not yield to depression.

(Mens, Eggs
Head Food List
Broilers arid fryers, eggs, and dried
beans and peas are "February Krsts"
on the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture's monthly list of foods plentiful
on Southern markets, Mrs. Nina
White, home- demonstration agent
for the State College Extension Ser
vice, said this week.
More broilers and fryers are being
sold- now than last year, she explain
ed, and USDA statistics indicate mar
ketings should stay above last year
from now until March 1. Warmer
weather, larger laying flocks, anl in
creased egg production per hen are
the main factors on the egg supply in
crease expected in February.
Last season's dried bean production
was a record, and stocks of most dried
peas are ample for all consumer de
mands, Mrs. White said. Fresh vege
tables for the month beets, cabbage,
carrots, lettuce, spinach, and especi
ally spring greens-will be plentiful
on Southern markets in February, she
added. Canned and frozen corn are
listed as the best buy in canned foods.
Tree nuts mainly almonds, wal
nuts, and filberts are plentiful, and
as for fruits, Mrs. White said, best
supplies would be found in apples,
oranges, winter pears. cranberries,
raisins, and dried prunes.
Additional foods on the February
plentiful foods list, the home agent
said, are turkeys, pork and pork
products, manufactured dairy prod
ucts, and frozen fish.
Most people kill their lawns with
'misguided kindness. America uses
traMoads of grass seed, weed killers
and plant foods each year. However,
our lawns Still aren't all they should
be.
Fall is the best time to make re
pairs, for grass doesn't like too hot
a sun. wnen tne temperature flirts
with ninety degrees, the principal
lawn grass used in the U. iS. Kentucky
blue, begs off growing. If the soil
temperature hits one-hundred degrees
bluegrass turns brown.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture has hopes of discovering a blue-
grass that will thrive in hot weather.
So far, "B-27" looks premising, hut
no seeds will be available before 1951.
People living in areas too hot for
bluegrass should try something else.
Fescue isn't bothered much by heat.
Use Alta, Illahee, or Kentucky 31
fescue because .these varieties are
very deep-rooted and. resist drought.
'White Dutch clover stays green
through the worst ieat. Include some
in the lawn mixture.
In the deep, south, for an ever
green lawn, depend upon St Augus
tine or centipere grass in shady motet
spots and Zaysia elsewhere. In South
ern California use dichondra, not a

WORK! THE GREAT PANACEA
Do you feel discouraged? Are you
depressed 7 If so, how can you change
your mental outlook? There sere many
ways of bringing it about
Go out of doors and commune (with
nature; there is nothing more sooth
ing and interesting. It is delightful
to watch the bees .flying up to the
flowers iwith isuch business air and
burying themselves in heir sweet
depth to steal the honey.
Little do they know that wise old
Mother Nature sent Ithem there for a
great purpose. They carry off the
pollen on their bodies, and m (this way
fertilize (the next flowers that they
visit and so assure a crop of seeds or
fruit' Thus they are engaged in mak
ing the honey that is necessary to
their existence, and is an important
food for the animal kingdom.
All nature is busy, Solomon said,
'XjO to the ant, thou sluggard; consid
er her ways and be wise." The ants
do not spend their days in idleness
expecting the government to support
them. They do not have that kind of
government Each member of their
commonwealth is expected, even re
quired, to carry his own burdens. If
he is too lazy or indifferent, he Is
either driven out to starve or he is
put to death; . '
The Bible says, "If a man Kvon't
work, neither shall he eat," Though
the ants never studied' theology, in
stinct has taught them that one must
work and carry his thai of responsi

Right here it is difficult not to do a
little philosophising.
