T.
Tho first rule in nursing, the first
essential to the patient. without which
all else you do IL AZ nothing, Is to
keep the air he breathes as pure az
the external air without chilling him.
Always have the window OF your
patients room open. but not . window
on passage just outside.
Place the bed In the lightest spot
In the room, and lie should be able
to see out OF the window.
The best bedding Is an iron bed
Btead, Q hair mattress. no curtains or
valance, very light blankets for :
covering, as weak patients are al
ways distressed by weight tn bed
clothing,
Cleanliness Of the skin In almost all
diseases Is of the utmost impor-
tance. Il
Care should be taken In sponging
or washing not to expose too great
q surface at once so as to check per.
spiration says Woman's Life.
Never allow patient to be walked
out of sleep, either Intentionally
or accidentally. as this does serious
harm.
Do hot whisper or walk on tip-tpe,
as this is peculiarly painful to the
sick.
Remember, never to lean against.
sit upon, or shake. or even touch the
bed upon which your patient lies; this
Is always annoying.
Do no talk to or allow your patient
to talk while taking his meal.

The first day or two 1t will set them to

no1ArloN AND FERTILITY.
The One Bears Intimate Relation -
the Other.

Our experience has proven that one
method Of conserving soil fertility II
by proper rotation Of crops. OF
course We are not decrying the use Of
commercial fertilizers. for they are no
doubt beneficial In the majority Of in
stances. They have been tried and
proven. but there are great number
of farmers who have not used them.
and yet by careful and constant crop
rotation have been able to keep up the
fertility of their land.
After rs years Of intense farming.
the 160-acre farm where was born
and reared Is as fertile as In the be-
ginning. This is due more to sensi-
BILE crop rotation than anything else.
OF course the manure that accumu.
listed about the barn and old straw
ri,xs was scattered over the thin land
every year, but the supply of fertilizer
of this nature was very limited on the
place. aot sufficient to enrich over
three or four acres any year. Then.
too, our grain was always fed ON the
place, but It was soon discovered that
land could not bear corn, wheat, oats
or any one crop year after year with
the light fertilizib It would get. with.
out Its strength being exhausted,
which. Of course. must inevitably
mean lighter crops.
So we took care Of sur land by vary.
ing the crops, says writer In Farm.
er's Voice.. After 40-acre field had
been in timothy or clover two OF three
years, 1t would be broken up and
planted in corn. The first crop was
always good, but the second crop was
generally immense. Sometimes we
planted corn the third year, but very
seldom. More often the ground was
put in oats. This was done by break
ing the stalk fields In the spring with
then sowing the oats and
them in. The oat crop would
often yield as high as 40 or so bushels
TO the acre. When the oats were har.
vested and threshed, the ground was
plowed and prepared for
wheat. The wheat was sown early
enough to get a good growth and be-
come well rooted BY winter. Some
times we sowed mixture Of timothy
and clover seed with the wheat, but
finally proved that clover
did not get sufficiently rooted to stand
the rigorous winters, so thenceforth
we sowed the clover and timothy on
the wheat fields, in the early spring.
about the first of March.
When the wheat was harvested there
would generally be good stand Of
clover and timothy, and the next year
there would be heavy crop of good
to reap. This field was left
in meadow for two or three years; was
then again broken and put through a
similar rotation Of crops, and these
seemed to build up rather
than destroy the fertility of the soil.
Anyhow, year after year our toll was
with good crops, and tho
land seemed to be as rich and mellow
at the close of each rotation as at It's
Now, / do not claim that rotation OF
crops alone will render soil inexhaust.
ible, for science and experience
teaches that any soil will become i'm
poverished and unproductive with con-
tinuous cropping unless the plant food
taken therefrom be replaced by the
means of some fertilizer. But there
Is no doubt enough plant food in good
rich land to yield abundant harvests
for many years II the crops are prop
erly rotated.

CORN ROOT ApHIs.
Treatment Which Will Secure Protec-
ton Against the Pest.

AS a means Of replying to very
many requests received for full and
precise directions for the treatment
of seed corn as protection against
injury by the corn root aphis, the I'LL
nois state entomologist, DR.. s. A.
Forbes, has prepared the following
careful directions. The quantities
mentioned are sufficient to treat the
seed corn necessary to plant about 45
acres. II larger or smaller acreage
Is to be planted, each can easily figure
the necessary amount for himself.
1. Mix one pint of pure oil of lemon
with one gallon Of denatured alcohol
or wood alcohol.
2. Put one bushel of seed corn into
q tub Or half barrel, or similar vessel
large enough to allow vigorous STIR
ring of the corn.
3. Measure out one and half pints
of the mixture Of oil of lemon and alco-
hol.
4. Slowly sprinkle this mixture on
the corn, at the same time stirring the
latter vigorously with stout paddle
or stick. Do not let the oil collect at
the bottom Of the vessel for lack of
stirring and thorough mixing. Stir
vigorously until the oil is well distrib-
uted. 1t should not take Ave minutes
to prepare q buAhel OF seed.
s. Put the corn thus prepared Into
a graz sack and II Is ready to take to
the field for planting. Keep this sack
In the shade. 81 s
6. Do not prepare more than can be
planted in half day, unless It ID
convenient to return to the crib al
noon.

salt is beneficial. Three cows were
