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. lapse. . ' 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. grass but a ground carpet It is im preasive, but will not do well fcetfow 2, degrees, , dY don't try it north of wasniagton, ut m. - ONE MINUTE SPORTS $TJIZ .$J. 1.

About Your Home By FRANCES BELL (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.

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 bility in order that all may prosper Right here it is difficult not to do a little philosophising.
