FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



A Business Bank for 



Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 farmers — for those progressive 

 crop and cattle raisers who know 

 that to get profits from farming 

 there must be knowledge not only 

 of crops, but of markets, of prices, 

 of soil treatment, of other factors. 



This bank's primary object is to 

 help farmers of this section to pros- 

 per. Our complete banking facili- 

 ties and our dependable sources of 

 information valuable to farmers are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

Is at the bottom of most 

 big successes in the busi-

 habit by opening a savings

 with.

A protective diet is one which contains 

 plenty of minerals and vitamins. We get 

 these in milk, butter, cod-liver oil, vege- 

 tables, fruits and whole cereals. 



"What is the value of a clear soup in 

 the diet?" A clear soup contains very 

 little nutritive value. It is stimulating 

 to the flow of digestive juices and so 

 whets a delicate appetite and aids diges- 

 tion. 



WHAT ONE WOMAN THINKS 



We have been urging that the women 

 use their machine attachments more than 

 they have been doing. It has been hard 

 to get them started, but when they once 

 do master them, they have found some 

 real labor savers they did not know they 

 owned. Here is what one woman says: 

 "All my life I have shied at sewing ma- 

 chine attachments, thinking the only 

 place they were a real success was in the 

 catalog. I have now made a complete 

 reversal of ideas, and am convinced that 

 the housewife who does not use her at- 

 tachments is using only 50 per cent of 

 the efficiency of her machine. Using the 

 attachments was like a three ring circus. 

 One day I was trimming an apron with 

 both bias tape and rick-rack braid. In 

 one stitching, I not only finished the raw 

 edge, but put on the bias tape and rick- 

 rack braid. Not only was energy saved, 

 but time and thread. When I made ruf- 

 fled curtains, I gathered the ruffle and 

 sewed it on the curtain all at the same 

 time. I'm frank to admit that hereto- 

 fore my box of attachments had been 

 kept in the back part of the sewing ma- 

 chine drawer, but its day of retirement 

 is over. Judging from present indica- 

 tions the pressure foot will become the 

 unpopular member of the sewing machine 

 family." 



A LABOR SAVER 



The Dumbleton Brothers dish drainer 

 which has proven so popular in many of 

 the homes in Hampshire County, has not 

 been made for sometime. But the de- 

 mand for the drainer has been so great 

 that the Company is going to begin manu- 

 facturing them again. What is of in- 

 terest to us is that they have added 

 several improvements. The design has 

 been so altered as to permit the dryer to 

 fold back against the wall when not in 

 use, and it is made of aluminum which 

 makes it lighter and easier to clean. We 

 recommend it as a good labor saver. 



A NEW BOOK 



Feeding the Family — Rose, Revised 

 Edition, 192-5, should, wherever possible, 

 be substituted for any former editions. 

 All others are out of date, particularly 

 in regard to infant feeding and the vita- 

 mins.
