join in a campaign to make Wy-

good old days?
To accomplish this, everyone
must begin with his own property.

a flat or between blotting papers
in a shallow tray or large plate.
Keep the seeds moist and warm.
Dehorn the Calves—Caustic pot-
ash or horn paints can be used
to dehorn calves. As soon as a
horn button appears, clip the hair
and rub the horn area until bleed-

directions.
Control Hog Mange—Either of
two new ‘chemicals, chlordane and
benzene hexachloride, may be used
to control hog mange. Apply as
a pressure spray on a warm, bright
day. Ask your county agent for

themselves, there are any number of
biographies of famous personalities
in the musical sphere. “Galli-Cur-
ci’s Life of Song”, by C. F. Le-
Massena was especially alluring to
me to browse through as that great
singer was in the very first opera,
“Lucia de Lammermoor”, which I
saw in Chicago a number of years
ago. I remembered, too, how moth-
er had exposed me to the sextette
from “Lucia” and many other
beautiful and inspiring selections,
rendered on the Red Seal phono-
graph records, in my quite young
days.
Also in the music section at the
library is a very nice four-volume
set of selections, entitled “World's
Best Music”. And on the Memor-
ial shelves is a wonderful Ency-
clopedia of Music and Musicians
and a volume of folk songs.
What inspiration, what entertain-
ment, what solace, what know-
ledge and understanding are
brought into our minds and hearts
when we seek the company of
books and music.
