Sprains, though not so serious, are
extremely painful. The patient should
at once go to bed so as 20 secure
perfect rest, and the affected part
should be confined by spllnt behind
and held in place by q comfortably
applied pandage. The position of the
limb should be such as to relax the
muscles. Warm lamentations or cold
illusions should be used, and acetate
of lead and opium should be applied
by means of wet rags. For both
sprains and fractures ice bags are In
valuable, and for the latter sand bags
are sometimes necessary to weight
down the affected limb.

from an aching and dull, heavy pains in
my back that are hardly describable.
These pains were present continuously,
making me restless and sleepless at
night and tired and weak during the
day. | could not bend forward and
straighten again without suffering dart

to press nv hands against the back for
the slight relief this gave. Doan's Kid

In the Corn Belt.

We insist that half hearted methods
will not result in success in undertake
ing to get stand of alfalfa, and the
crop is so valuable and lasts so many
years after Il proper seeding that one
can well afford to take the necessary
time to fit the land. As to time Of
seeding, we have said before that best
results are usually obtained by sowing
in August, though in the southern half
OF the corn belt seeding may be done
as late as the 9TH or 10th of Septen
Der. Each man must be his own judge
of local conditions, the main object
being to obtain fairly good growth
before the ground freezes. If the
plants are small when growth ceases
in the fall they are much more apt to
be heaved out by the freezing and
thawing Of the ground, while strong
root system will in most cases prevent
the occurrence of this. AS to the
amount of seed that should be used.
there is some difference existing in the
practice even of successful men.-Iowa

Preparation of the Soil to insure a

Men who have planned to get stan
this fall by leaving their land bare,
with the hope of cultiyating it from
time to time during the season. need
little advice from US. because that Is
really the ideal way of fitting the land
for alfalfa. 1t destroys the annual
weed seeds in the surface soil, con-
serves moisture, firms the lower soil
and ideally fits the seed bed for the
reception of the seed, so that germina-
ton Is uniform, quick and strong. On
such a soil, If the seed is sown In
August or during the first part of Sen

stand are, in our opinion. very slight

Turning now to the plan that must
he followed by the average man who
expects to sow his alfalfa seed this
fall. we first recommend that the stub
Bile be plowed as soon as possible after
harvest. This is necessary in order
that full opportunity be given to work
down the soil into firm yet friable
condition. Furthermore, 1t is absolute
~ useless TO pillow early unless one
fully makes IN his mind to do the
necessary work on the surface at in
tervals OF one week or ten days. The
harrow for this purpose is an ideal Inn

weeds start it may be necessary to use
the disk TO some extent. An instance
