Notes of an Indiana Farmer 
Here is a bit of very personal reminis¬ 
cence and confession, which has a bearing 
on present day problems: 
When I lived on the farm before, I was 
a dreamy, bookish young girl, in school 
most of the time, my official duty was to 
act as understudy for a very energetic 
and capable mother, who found it much 
easier to do the work than to teach her 
daughter. Daughter was not more stupid 
nor lazy than the average, I feel sure; 
but what child will insist on working, 
when there is a big outdoors to play in, a 
table full of magazines to read, besides an 
inexhaustible supply up attic? Papa liked 
to have “Chicky” tag along with him, but 
it didn’t occur to him to teach her any 
practical things. Thus I grew up into 
that pitiful creature—a farm girl who 
had never milked a cow, dressed a chick¬ 
en, harnessed a horse, nor led a horse in 
the garden! (For that matter, Dad 
didn’t have anybody lead a horse in his 
garden.) Nor had I, till after leaving 
college, made a dress, nor done much 
other sewing. Yet I was not “handless,” 
a d later developed a “knack” of which 
that same mother was tremendously 
proud. Of course, eventually I learned 
to cook and sew ; but lack of experience 
with animals is a constant handicap to 
me as a farmer. 
The flivver makes me partly independ¬ 
ent of the horse; but “Henry” won’t 
plow the garden, nor haul up wood or 
hoghouses over rough ground. Last year 
I depended on pick-up help for necessary 
work with horses. This year, Earl works 
for me by the month, but with time off 
to work for somebody else in the “big” 
activities of haying, wheat cutting, 
thrashing, etc. In most years that would 
work very well, but it has been a wonder¬ 
ful season for weeds, and wheat straw is 
so heavy, that thrashing has taken about 
twice the normal time, much to the detri¬ 
ment of garden and fruit. 
Of the neighbors with the power 
sprayer, who were to take care of my 
fruit, one was sick at spraying time, and 
one very busy otherwise; then it rained 
almost every day, just when the spray 
was most needed. So the apples are a 
wretched ruin, and probably will not hang 
on the trees till picking time, nor keep 
long if they do. 
Americans are supposed to spoil their 
children, more than older nations. In 
matters of discipline this may be true. 
Blit as to early training in work, here is 
Lula, telling, with sparkling eyes, of the 
many complicated, delicious, characteris¬ 
tic Russian dishes her mother used to 
make. But Lula does not know how to 
make them—“I was a little girl, and 
didn’t pay much attention.” Her mother 
did the beautiful national embroideries; 
her grandmother made real bobbin lace. 
But Lula learned, at school, crochet, and 
embroidery of the Kensington type, com¬ 
mon everywhere, and her racial arts are 
lost to her, as our gradnmothers’ coverlet 
weaving is to us. 
I believe, if we have always been learn¬ 
ing something new, we can always con¬ 
tinue to learn things, even of different 
kind ; mind and muscles being kept flex¬ 
ible and responsive. (That’s one of the 
standard educational disputes, so there is 
authority for and against me!) Driving 
a Ford was new to me two years ago; 
perhaps next year I can learn to milk a 
cow and manage a horse or a mule! The 
probability is that when the folks move, 
next March, to their rented farm, I shall 
try “going it alone” for a while. It is 
“some problem” to find, even in this un¬ 
commonly fine community, just the peo- 
pl; I want in my house. Some who 
would come I won’t have; some I would 
like can’t come. A nice tenant house 
would help the situation, but where is it? 
(“Echo answers, ‘Where?’”) I shall try 
not to put out too much garden to tend 
by myself, and try to get acquainted with 
my live stock. It would probably be only 
a temporary arrangement. 
This all sounds rather despondent, but 
I don’t let such complications keep me 
awake, nor financial ones, either. I have 
pulled through so many tight places that 
I have come to expect to find a loophole 
in every wall. Call it faith or optimism, 
as you please. If I used poor judgment 
when I sold my hogs, at the bottom of the 
market, at least I saved their corn to sell 
at a higher price than wheat! 
The bundle wagons are coming and go¬ 
ing, and the thrashing machine is hum¬ 
ming, over at the barn. We don’t have 
the dinner here ; that goes with the rent¬ 
er. Earl says that next year they plan to 
pay each host (or hostess) 50 cents a 
head for the dinner. Revolutionary ! We 
always used to have them for two meals 
(more, if the machine broke down) with 
lodging and breakfast for machine hands. 
Now, for several years, there has been 
no big supper; just supper for the ma¬ 
chine hands. This year, even the ma¬ 
chine hands go home for supper. And if 
they all pay next year, how times do 
change! Of course, this applies only to 
this “ring,” as I don’t know about others. 
Our thrashing is about a month late, and 
there are perhaps 20 more jobs for this 
machine.

They were full young, but all the more

first of the month. They are not abun¬ 
dant, but furnish an occasional dish for

One Is for You 
A free test of a way to fight film on teeth 
This ten-day test is yours for the 
asking. It will show you the way to 
whiter, cleaner teeth. It will con¬ 
vince you that old methods of teeth 
cleaning are wrong. 
Let us prove that to you. 
Film—your enemy 
That viscous film you feel on teeth 
is the foe you have to fight. It clings 
and stays. No ordinary tooth paste 
can effectively combat it. 
Food stains, etc., discolor it, then 
it forms dingy coats. That is why 
teeth lose luster. 
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. 
Thus film causes most tooth 
troubles. 
Leading dentists everywhere be¬ 
gan to advise it. Now careful people 
the world over employ this new-day 
method. 
You , ll quickly see 
Modern science has for years 
sought ways to fight that film, and 
two methods have been found. One 
disintegrates the film at all stages 
of formation, one removes it with¬ 
out harmful scouring. 
These methods have proved them¬ 
selves effective in many careful tests. 
A new-type tooth paste has been 
created to apply them daily. The 
name is Pepsodent. 
Protect the Enamel 
Pepsodent disintegrates the 
film, then removes it with an 
agent far softer than enameL 
Never use a film combatant 
Pepsodent brings astonishing re¬ 
sults. It does more than fight film. 
It multiplies the alkalinity of the 
saliva, which is there to neutralize 
mouth acids. It multiplies the ptya- 
lin in saliva, which is there to digest 
starch deposits on teeth. 
These combined results will be a 
revelation to you. 
Send the coupon for a 10-Day 
Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel 
after using. Mark the absence of the 
viscous film. See how teeth become 
whiter as the film-coats disappear. 
Compare the new way with the 
old, and you will know in ten days 
what is best. Cut out coupon now.
