FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



tunin day 

 Both Adam and Eve were happy and gay, 

 When Eve chanced to look in the top of a 



tree 

 And spied a lone apple, as red as could be. 

 Says she to Adam, "If you are my man, 

 You'll get me that apple as fast as you 



can". 

 So up Adam goes, as any man would, 

 And Eve staid on terra firma, as any girl 



should. 

 Adam was courageous, and up he dumb 

 Like a ward politician after a plum. 

 'Til at last he reached and picked the 



fruit 

 That spoiled Eve's "rep" and his Sunday 



suit. 

 Then quickly he decended to where Eve 



was standing, 

 Impatient with Adam for such a poor 



landing. 

 She grabs the apple and sinks in her 



teeth. 

 And puts back her head to get underneath 

 The juice that runs out, like cider from a 



press 

 While Adam stood by dismayed more or 



less, 

 A wondering as how, from a pome so 



ample. 

 That he was going to get even the core 



for a sample. 

 Not a word did he say nor could he 



speak 

 For his mouth was watering like a roof 



with a leak. 

 At last 'twas gone and Eve beamed with 



delight 

 But Adam was gone way out of her sight 

 The agony of his was too much and more. 

 So out of the garden post haste he tore. 

 And he never came back, 'twas too much, 



by gosh ! 

 To not get a taste of that Mcintosh. 

 But Eve stayed on, the Adam never came. 

 And ever since then .she has taken the 



blame. Spef. 



GOOD FOOD MAKES 



GOOD DISPOSITIONS 



"Nagging wives need a doctor. It is 

 illness, not ill temper that is responsible," 

 is a .statement recently made by a well 

 known London physician. "It is the un- 

 healthy woman who nags," he explained. 

 "It is not her fault ; she is improperly 

 fed." 



Irritable dispositions, bad tempers, 

 listlessness, or apparent laziness in child- 

 ren are often caused by poor food and 

 lack of rest. The well nourished is stur- 

 dy, has glossy hair, bright eyes, good 

 color in cheeks and ear lobes. He .stands 

 erect, has straight bones, flat back and a 

 well rounded chest. His teeth are sti-ong 

 and white. He is enthusiastic, active, 

 energetic, and enjoys life. 



Nervousness, irriability and a chronic 

 tired feeling are likely to be signs of im- 

 proper nourishment or poor food. Nar- 

 row, flat chest, bow-legs, poor teeth and 

 shouller blades that stick out like wing.^- 

 show that bone building foods have been 

 lacking in the child's diet. Such a child 

 is usually thin, with pale, flabby flesh. 

 His eyes may have dark circles under 

 them and his expression is probably dull. 



Plenty of milk — a quart a day — fruits 

 and vegetables twice a day, and whole 

 grain products at least once a day insure 

 the right kinds of building materials. If 

 combined with these foods a child gets 

 plenty of rest, sunshine and fresh air, 

 there is little danger of undcr-nourish- 

 ment. Maij E. Foley 



Lawns should not be burned over but 

 .should be raked. Burning kills the young 

 grass.
