IT IS always -very difficult to. enter tain a large number of people and to that end there is suggested to those so interested one of the plans fol lowed with very considerable success at the Colorado School of Agricul ture when it is frequently necessary to. provide : for the amusement of a group of two hundred students. If the party is given in a private home four or five rooms, distinguished by letters, are required, or, if a pub lic room is used the four corners may be lettered. As the guests arrive num bered slips help them to find part ners for a grand march.. At the close of this they are given programs re sembling the dance programs but hav ing a list of games-instead of a list of dances, v After the programs are filled a bell is rung and all go to the appointed placesJ The choice of games depends oh,' the place of entertainment. The one-in charge should ring the bell for the change in' games at the time; when, they are. enjoyed most. This is the secret of success of all parties.: ' Suggested games are : "Three deep," "Last Couple out," "Flying Dutch man "Ru,th ,and; Jacob;" "Cat and Mouse " "Drop the Handkerchief," "Dan Tucker," "Spin the Platter," "Ring on the String," "Musical Chairs," "Clothespin Race," -ci'Fruit 3asket," "Poison," "Charades''Mag ic.

The cows must be ,good milker and the bull old enough for service.- For cattle that are in "good shape" I am ".willing' to pay $35" to $40 per head... It is my plan to buy up some na tive cows, and heifers and ,use this bull as a foundation for ,a herd of. grades until my pure-breds- increase. Then I')l keep only registered stock." ' . . T j Thus writes one of our readers to me. While I don't blame him for wanting to buy such cattle at such prices ' (for doubtless thousands would be. glad of such a chance), j couldA't; kjeep 'romj laughing, at his letter. He; might a well have said he, "wants" John Ropkefejller jto. wait :On his table, Andrew Caj-negie, to make his garden J. P. Morgan to pick his cotton, and President Wilson to fan him jwhile h,e sleeps., Wanting and; get ting such cattle at such prices are two very different things. ' No one need 'expect breeders of pure-bred, stock to sell them at scrub prices. It takes experience, time, knowledge and money to breed good stock, and the man who expects to start into the pure-bred stock business may as well expect to pay good prices. When you pay a good price you have a right to de mand and expect good stock, but when you insist on good stock at; scrub prices you will get one of two things nothing or "stung." I know of a man who kept begging a Berk shire breeder for registered pigs at $5 each. The breeder kept saying he had nothing for sale at less than $15. Finally, however, he rounded up three little pin-legged, badly de veloped, straight-nosed, lousy looking runts . and shipped them to the "buyer" (?) at $5 each. r The next mail brought us a letter in which the words "thief," "fraud," etc., were fre quent. The poor little pigs were left in the express office while we spent valuable time trying to adjust the affair. Our decision was against the buyer. He bought cheap pigs and, believe me, he got what he bought. And yet that breeder made a mistake to ship such stuff at all. They could not be a credit to him as a breeder and he risked his reputation in the whole community where the runts were shipped. The man who bought the pigs (being narrow-minded any how) is doubtless carrying a hammer in his hand and "knocking" the seller whenever he gets a chance. ; And I guess he is knocking The Progres sive Farmer with saying "They don't live up to their guarantee." .Sometimes things "like this make me mighty blue but then I realize that such cases are. very scarce and that the average seller and the average buyer ar6 dandy fine fellows. ; Once I asked an old Negro what church he belonged to and hie replied, "I ain't got none, Boss, but I tries to be a 'Do Righter.' " That's about all the religion I have "Do Right." . (19) 519 MORE TIME LOST READER sends us a sample of good cio ver seed and asks, "Where can I find a market?" Can you beat it? Is there' anybody left who, doesn't know that our advertising col umns will solve such problems? ' I' have a great mind to tell this fellow's name and let you folks swamp him with .ordera, ,, ; CHOOSE A GOOD ONE y EAR after year the cream separator mak ers come into The Progressive Farmer and tell their stories of increased dairy prof its. This is not a suggestion to buy a cream separator where any number of cows are kept the need of one is usually too! apparent to require any emphasis. This is, however, a plea to choose a good one, and one of more than sufficient capac ity for present needs.. , Why take any chances on an article cost .ing as much money as a separator? You may be practically certain of satisfaction by, keeping within the list of those advertised in The Progressive Farmer. GOOD-BYE, MR. JOYNER QN MAY 17 the Western Union handed us a telegram from Mr. J. W. Joyner, of Columbus,' Miss., reading: "Kill advertisement. Unable to fill i orders." He ordered a little 17-word advertisement run three times, but one insertion left him: Yamless and made him hunt cover. Advertising hag brought the man in the backwoods in touch with the centres of art and literature and business and made him, feel at home with the world. When writing to advertisers mention The Progressive Farmer. HALF DOZEN OUT OF A THOU SAND T HE Progressive Farmer is often asked to recommend the best machine or appliance of some sort from among the various makes. ! This is impossible to do, because while one may have a slight advantage in one re spect, another may excel in some other way. . ; The best we can do is to pick about half a dozen out of a thousand and say: "These are the best we know. Get acquainted with th'em, and let the best man sell you his ar- tide." " . , Are we willing to do that much? Cer tainly. The half dozen, more or less, out of the thousand in America are advertising in The Progressive Farmer. They are the ones we recommend.
