TWO KINDS OF
CHILDREN

and those that seem hardly
to grow at all, both need
SCOTS Emulsion.
It gives that rich vital
nourishment which is the
secret of all healthy growth.
1t rounds out the long limbs,
and helps children to grow
without using up all their
strength in growing.
Mothers ought to know
more about the wonderful
help which SCOTS Emulsion
would give their children.
There is no secret about
SCOTS Emulsion. Nothing
is covered up by obscure
references to "active princi-
plies or "alkaloids."
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
an emulsion of the best Nor
wegian cod liver oil combined
with the hypophosphites and
glycerin.

grown side by side under precisely the
same conditions, yielded crops as fol-
lows: uninoculated patch, 5S1 pounds;
inoculated patch, 45o1 pounds-an in
crease of more than eight times. Grim
son clover under similar conditions
yielded: uninoculated, 372 pound; ino-
culated 1922 pounds-an increase of
nearly twenty times.
1t does not require a trained scientist
to apply the cultures. The results OBJ
tanned by any intelligent farmer are as
wonderful as these.
A Maryland farmer had formerly
been able to cultivate only one third of
his land; he had been obliged to aban-
don two thirds because of the hopeless
ness of getting anything from it. Now,
at no expense to himself and at trivial
amount of labor, he had reclaimed the
worthless two thirds and made it more
productive than the other third. He
had increased the yield of his farm, his
income, fvefold. q generous living is
now before him.
And what did it cost the government
to help him so generously? Eight
cents! The farmer had used two cakes
to inoculate the seeds for seven acres,
each cake costing the government four
cents to manufacture.
But there are even other wonders
that these little nitrogen-f1xi bacteria
work It has already been explained
how Iegumes enrich the soil by bring
ing back nitrogen to it, The same
bacteria that increase the harvest OF
beans or clover or alfalfa tenfold enable
nitrogen in the soil than they would
have done if uninoculated; in other
words, they make the soil many times
more fertile, so that the crop of cotton
or wheat CIR corn or potatoes planted
next year is many times larger. Thus
the rotating crop the year following in
oculation derives an equal benefit from
the incubation. For instance a CROP Of
crimson clover, not inoculated, added
to one acre of land 4.3 pound of nj
trogen; a crop of crimson clover, ino-
added to one acre of precisely
similar land 1887 pounds of nitrogen,
an increase of 1872 times; a crop of ino-
culated hairy vetch added to one acre
Is times more nitrogen than crop of
hairy vetch.
Cotton planted after an inoculated
crop of red clover gave an increased
yield of 40 per cent. Potatoes, after an
crop, yield an increase of so
per cent, the oats 300 per cent. and the
rye 400 per cent. The table below
shows the effect of inoculated Iegumes
on various crops.
The germs can be used in any
climate. 1t must be clearly understood,
however, that our leguminous plants
beans, clover, alfalfa, peas, lupin,
vetch, etc.-are directly benefited by
the nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Where
the soil is rich in nitrates. the crop
Is not appreciably Increased by the use
of the inoculating bacteria; but where
the soil is poor, the harvest is increased
many times.
There is not section of the United
States which will not profit by DIR.

,ible as yet to calculate by how mucn
hey will enhance the yield of our

esults already achieved prove that in |
