Your little pigs would like you to 
read this leaflet . .. see sug- 
gestion below. 
sx Having just finished reading the 
November issue of the Coorrraror, I 
am happy to be able to congratulate 
you on it. It’s a splendid publication. 
However, writing frankly, my enthu- 
siasm for it is dampened in only one 
regard. In your article on the pig 
brooder you fail to mention plans for 
a pig brooder which were developed 
here at REA and which are available 
to farmers everywhere by writing for 
them. 
As you probably know, we have 
done a great deal of work in preparing 
and distributing plans for home-made 
equipment. Recently we redesigned 
many of our plans so that they would 
not use critical materials and our 
nearly a million farmers who belong 
to our 800 cooperatives are making 
very good use of them . . . — Allyn

If you’ve never made the pathway 
Of some neighbor glow like sun — 
If you’ve never brought a bubble 
To some fellow’s heart with fun... 
If you’ve never cheered a toiler 
That you've tried to help along, 
Will you tell me what you’re here for 
In this lovely land of song? 
If you've never made a comrade 
Feel the world a sweeter place 
Just because you've lived within it 
And had served it with thy 
grace . 
If you’ve never heard a woman 
Or a little child proclaim 
A God's blessing on your bounty — 
You're a poor one at the game!

3 I have been an interested reader of 
your fine paper for some time and 
greatly enjoy its material. However, 
I have a correction which is for the 
good of the order if I may be allowed 
toexpressit. Continually you print the 
name of our famous variety of fowl as 
New Hampshire Reds. When they 
were admitted to the American Stand- 
ard, they were named New Hamp- 
shires — without the Red, for they 
are a chestnut color. Many still call 
them Reds, but seeing the name 
correctly used will be one means 
of forming the right use of the name.

yx After looking over the November 
issue of the Cooperator I am moved 
to express my appreciation for the 
monthly visits of this unusually at- 
tractive organ. You use excellent, 
well-posed pictures on good paper 
and have been wise enough to select 
a good printer. 
Iam only a plain dirt gardener, but 
I enjoy reading the magazine and get 
good results from your products. —

dent, Bates College, Lewiston, Maine.

article which appeared in the No-

However, you have put our mailing 
room in a rather embarrassing posi- 
tion in that the supply of our Leaflet 
No. 188 ‘Swine Production”’ is prac- 
tically exhausted. Also, our publica- 
tions are not sent out of state free of 
charge. 
We have no objection to your men- 
tioning our publications, provided 
we have a supply on hand, and you 
call attention to the fact that there is 
an out-of-state charge of 5¢ per copy, 
with one or two exceptions. The cost 
of ‘Swine Production,’’ however, is 
10¢. — Earle S. Carpenter, secretary of
