THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
333 West 30th Street, New York City 
Letters of an Indiana Farmer 
Grandmother used to tell of the shift¬ 
less, but cheerful family who said, “Let 
it storm ! We have meat and meal in the 
house and wood at the door!” (A I’abbit, 
a small sack of meal and a wheelbarrow¬ 
ful of wood.) We laugh at those people, 
yet we do live in a hand-to-mouth way, 
compared even with our parents. We are 
becoming so dependent on the butcher, 
the baker, the candlestick maker, or his 
modern equivalent, the kerosene and gas¬ 
oline truck. 
The recent ice storm led us to take 
stock of our resources for a siege. The 
little neighborhood store, just the width 
of a field away, was a blessing in this 
emergency. The bread truck from a 
small city reached it each day. and Earl, 
stepping carefully, went after our sup¬ 
plies. We had plenty of apples, potatoes 
and canned goods in the cellar. Earl 
had pork and I had codfish. We didn’t 
suffer, but it was a strange feeling to be 
marooned for a whole week. The tele¬ 
phone and the mail service were not 
broken, but schools were shut down all 
over the county. 
We, families and neighbors, went to an¬ 
other auction the other day, with minds 
on such serious matters as a washing 
machine, an anthracite stove, sundry 
forks and shovels for the barn. I met a 
besetting temptation, and came home with 
another cherry stand, amid jeers of 
friends intimate enough to be privileged 
to jeer. But it was a beauty and a bar¬ 
gain, since there was no antique dealer 
on the ground to trouble and annoy. 
We have not many of the finer and 
older colonial patterns among our local 
'antiques. Clocks, brasses, silver and 
dishes were brought from the East, but 
the pioneers carried little furniture over 
the mountains. Most of our antiques 
were made by local craftsmen. They were 
well made, but lack the delicacy and style 
of older pieces. The wood is usually 
cherry or walnut, with poplar (tulip) for 
the hidden portions. This beautiful tree, 
now so rare and so prized, our _ State 
flower, must have grown here as thick as 
hair on a dog. Practically all the wood 
in this house and barn is poplar. And I 
have failed twice in two years to get one 
to grow in the yard ! 
Grandfather was one of these pioneer 
draftsmen, and built bedsteads as well as 
houses. Eight turned cherry _ posts, not 
made up. had stayed in the attic all these 
years. We had too much respect for cher¬ 
ry wood to throw them away, but didn’t 
know what to do with 'them. I have just 
had part of four of them used as legs for 
a hall table, added to the top section of 
an old bureau cut down years ago. It 
took Earl’s father about two hours, to fix 
it, and while somewhat massive, it will 
look very well when polished. It would 
make a good serving table, with the deep 
drawer for linen, if not needed in the 
hall. 
‘Having decided to quite farming.” 
This expi-ession is used near the top of 
at least three-fourths of the sale bills. 
Sometimes it means no more than the 
“selling out sales” of the city stores. But, 
enough times to be disturbing, it does 
mean another unskilled laborer in a fac¬ 
tory, another untrained merchant in 
town, or another retired farmer, presently 
vei-y tired of his way of living. Of 
course there is death, or a living tragedy 
back of some of the sales. 
Though a loyal daughter of my State, 
I have read with some sympathy the de¬ 
sire of an Indiana man for a New 
York farm. I grew up with New York 
farm papers. Then the old family doc¬ 
tor of my childhood, a delightful, schol¬ 
arly man, was a New Yorker who came 
here, bought a farm and built a house 
that was for years a show place in the 
neighborhood. (I can say, however, that 
few houses surpass it in inconvenience.) 
It always seemed that New York country 
life combined, in a peculiar way, culture 
and comfort. I think probably farm life 
really runs much the same in all States of 
similar climate, .but that in New York 
has been attractively presented for so 
many years, in The R. N.-Y., of course, 
and in the Country Gentleman in the 
palmy days when it, too, was a New 
Yorker. It has been said of our central 
population that we “look toward the 
West, but listen toward the East.” I 
can agree also with the Indiana man in 
his classification of Easterners as very 
friendly, though my travels have not been 
as extensive as his. 
Funny little black-faced lambs are ar¬ 
riving, after the manner of Noah’s ani¬ 
mals, two by two. I must, confess that 
they do not all care to stay long in this 
vale of tears, and nobody seems to know 
just why a perfectly good lamb one day 
should be a perfectly dead lamb the next. 
We are so inexperienced that when any 
difficulty arises, or problem of feeding, it 
is always. “Call 2, Ring 5.” For “Sir. 
2, Ring 5” is the only sheep raiser near, 
and has had a good deal of successful ex¬ 
perience. However, this year, he has 
had a set of triplets depart one by one, 
for no known reason. The rest of his 
lambs have not come yet, and we are both 
wondering whether our later ones will 
be stronger. e. m. c.

Don’t Leave Film 
on your pretty teeth 
See how this new way 
combats it 
Your teeth are coated with a vis¬ 
cous film. You can feel it now. Even 
when you brush teeth, much of it 
clings and stays. 
That is your teeth’s great enemy. 
That is what mars their beaut-y, that 
is what destroys them. 
Let this free test show you how 
millions now combat it. 
That cloudy coat 
Film is that viscous coat you feel. 
It clings and stays, because old-way 
brushing cannot effectively combat it. 
Soon it becomes discolored, then 
forms dingy coats. Teeth by the mil¬ 
lions thus become unsightly. 
Film also holds food substance 
which ferments and forms acid. It 
holds the acid in contact with the 
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed 
by millions in it. They, with tartar, 
are the chief cause of pyorrhea. 
No one can hope to escape such 
troubles without fighting film. 
Now there are ways to do that, due 
to modern research. One way dis¬ 
integrates the film at all stages of 
formation. One removes it without 
harmful scouring. 
Dental authorities have proved these 
methods effective. A new-type tooth 
Protect the Enamel 
Pepsodent disintegrates the film, 
then removes it with an agent far 
softer than enamel. Never use a 
film combatant which contains 
harsh grit. 
paste has been created so all might 
apply them daily. The name is Pep¬ 
sodent. 
Leading dentists the world over 
now advise this method. Careful peo¬ 
ple of some 50 nations use it every 
day. 
A test will show 
Pepsodent results are very quick 
and convincing. It does more than 
fight film. It multiplies the alkalinity 
of the saliva. That is there to neu¬ 
tralize mouth acids. It multiplies the 
ptyalin in saliva. That is there to di¬ 
gest starch deposits on teeth. 
These combined results bring 
quickly a new conception of clean 
teeth. 
Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. 
Note how clean the teeth feel after 
using. Mark the absence of the vis¬ 
cous film. See how teeth become 
whiter as the film-coats disappear. 
What you see and feel will soon 
convince you that this method is 
essential. Cut out coupon now.

The tiny, soft, porous flakes of Co¬ 
lonial Special Farmers Salt make it 
the quickest dissolving salt. 
Feed the Right Salt 
—the Right Way 
F armerse very where are beginning to real¬ 
ize that feeding of salt must be regular with 
each feeding and in sufficient amounts, to get 
the largest profitson every kind of livestock. 
Colonial Special Farmers Salt is particularly prof¬ 
itable when fed properly because it is fluffy like 
snowflakes, dissolves quickly, doesn’t harden or sift 
out of feed, and is all salt. A 70-lb. bag is as big as 
100 lbs. of ordinary salt. 
Try it next time—you’ll see the difference.
