And when you have-all laughed until your jaws ache and eaten all the taffy and popcorn you possibly can, gather around the fire in the front room and sing all the dear old songs you know, The farm home is a grand old place, isn't it? half dozen in pint or quart jars," and not the best in any size, sort, shape or condition of bottle. Result a much abused lady. Therefore, I beg of you to study the last year's prize list, for there will probably be few changes in next year's, and put up all goods you'liope to exhibit according to it. As soon as ihe new; list is published study it well. There are few fair lists that give prizes to half-gallons the reas6n being that they do not promote econ omy and are impractical in- the mod ern methods of sterilizing vegetables. And do not take a lot of general stuff ta the fair just in the vague hope that some of it will get a prize. Work all that out at home. t ' a Suppose there is an award of $25 for the best collection of pantry supplies. Have in it all the fresh, salted, dried, smoked, canned, pickled and other wise preserved meats, fruits and veg etables, all the seeds, growing pars ley, eggs, honey, bread, and other va rieties of pantry supplies that you possess. Suppose you , have among this material a pail of lard or half a dozen jars of canned vegetables, say snaps, beans, peas, asparagus, spin ach and corn do not expect these to compete separately or collectively for the lard prize, or to enter the contest for the best half dozen jars of vegeta bles: Have another lot to enter for it then there can be no question as to whether you are entitled to the prize or not. It is yours if the goods are the best. In regard to. that half dozen jars- do not depend on quality alone. There may be another half dozen of just the same quality as yours ; then the slight ainerence is in lavor ot tne one whose goods look best. The clear white glass jars with pa tent tops cost very little, if any more, than' the; green screw top jars and more than pay for. themselves in oremiums won. Now ? th imo 1 tiuiw iu order your jars and new rubbers and bit of a quitter, or; as the boys would express it, very much of a good sport, a game loser, undiscouraged, and with the gumption to stick and win. And last, let us teach the children to take an interest in the fair each year by entering something. Let that some thing be not embroidery, or anything else that requires eyesight and a con tinued cramped position, but canned goods, patching, dresses made on the sewing machine, besides rugs, bread, and fly swats. Suggestions for March the Month of Spring ARE your crocuses, hyacinths, tri telias, daffodils, Stars of Bethle hem ' and jonquils putting up their sunshiny little heads? -Spend a happy hour now and then in pushing away the litter from them. Do not carry this away, but leave it on the ground to make' plant food for coming geher ' ations of plants. And the garden are Irish potatoes and early seeds planted? Is the gar den fence .made as the advertised ments say "horse high, cattle strong, hog proof and chicken fine ?" r If the screens have not been paint ed of course, it should have been done in the fall get a small can of "screen paint' and paint them yourself,5 and it will keep them from rusting during the summer.

WE ARE hoping to have three of our schools unite this year," said one little woman to me, arid from the same community, came drie who said, "Some people is a-tryin' to git all them schools '- in one, but if my vtte counts for anything they ain't a-goin to, do it. It's jest foolishness." And I said nothing, fearing to hurt rather than help. ; , But my mind went back to a coun ty I visited' s everal years ago in farmers' institute work. Had I been looking for all .that was least desira ble in a country school I would have found much of it there unbeautiful, unventilated, uncurtained, unequip ped. Last week I went back to the same community. The schools had consoli dated. The huilding, a large, clean, white structure, stood in beautiful woods out beyond the edge of town. , There were no dull, staring eyes at each window as we drove up ; one ot the older students came and greeted us as simply ; and as cordially as though the school had been his own home. He led us in and introduced us to the lady teachers; three in number. And social ease is no small part o the training a. student may gain at school.
