rup explained, was extemporized into
roof garden for the benefit of the
sick children who were sent to the
hospital for treatment. \ framework
of iron piping, covered with canvas
was made to lean-to, around the sides
Of which canvas curtains were ad-

but did good work in summer and
early fall. What was pronounced a

However, it wCs airy, well summed, and

hours day there all winter, the en-.
tire ward being CmpUed out upon the
roof, while their ward below on the
first floor was we'll blown out through
the wide-open windows.
What kind of cases were sent to
the roof? All cases. On many days
every case in the chlldren's ward was
sent to the roof. Exceptionally, where
the case was considered unfit for re
moval, such as one having a weak
heart, or one just recovering from an
operation, or when an extension appa.

regrettable, because the ward could
not then be adequately aired through
wide-open windows. BY all cases
mean pneumonia in all stages, ap.
pendicitis, meningitis, burns, fractures,
etc.
Most onlookers have wished to
know details about pneumonia cases
taken out of doors on the roof. All
pneumonia cases in the height OF
fever, while the stimulating effect of
the pneumotoXin was full on, were
regularly on the list to go to the roof
for six hours on pleasant days. That
did not mean avoiding winds or cold
with sunlight, but avoiding rain or
snow.
ut has been noted by the nurses
that the children on rainy days, after
being confined to the ward all day
become restless end peeyish toward
evening. When returned from a good
airing on the roof they are hungry and
sleepy At night their sleep is quiet

Although the interest in pcdcstrjansm

the American people to-day neglect walking
to an extent that would merit criticism. As

to-day than they ever did, if we except those
comparatively brief periods when pedestrian

More Horses Wanted.

Statements from both Chicago and
ST. Louis are to the effect that the
horse supply is falling off much as
compared with previous years. The
Drovers Journal of Chicago says that
fewer horses and mules the first four
months of this year arrived at Chi
cago during the same period year
ago, the combined total being small
est in close to ten years. Chicago and
St. Louis during the last four months
received 95,OOS, or 1898 less than
a year ago and 30,56O less than two
years ago. During the twelve months
Of 1907 these two markets received
1888 fewer horses and mules than
arrived in 1906, st. Louis alone being
credited with decrease of 49,010. In
the face of such falling off in sup
plies during the last sixteen months
and the farming industry expanding
each year it certainly looks as though
the horse-breeding business ought to
be good for years to come.

sickIy Alfalfa Field.

A correspondent of the Indiana
Farmer says he has sown a whole
lot Of alfalfa seed on a 2O-acre field
during the last three years, and still
has about one-fourth of stand. There
are spots in the field where the stand
Is good, but there is hardly a spear In
some places. Here is the way to han
die that field. Give these barren
places a liberal dressing of barnyard
manure and turn 1t under, making
dne seed-bed. Then sow the alfalfa
seed. The manure will encourage the
seed to terminate and, by keeping the
weeds down this summer, there will
be no trouble in getting the field well
set. 1t is money thrown away to pu,
seed on thin soils. Alfalfa will take
care of itself after it gets a foothold,
but 1t must have favorable conditions
ander which to make start. Alfalfa
seed will lie dormant in the ground
Tor several months, simply because
the ground is unfertile Glover fields
when top-dressed with well-ptted
manure, will grow fine crops and the
stand will thicken up at once, show
ing that the manure was needed to
give proper conditions for seed ger
mination. .

Lime For the Soil,

The effect of lime on heavy soil is
beneficial, in that it removes the
binding and baking tendency, in the
same way as humus. The cost of the
material and the work of spreading
it does not amount to very much, and
more Of 1t ought to be used. Heavy
and light soils cannot be handled the
same way. Light soils do not absorb
and retain moisture and fertility as
well as heavy soils; they leach out,
and for this reason should not be cul-
tivated too deeply. On the other hand
in heavy, clay soils this deep cultiva-
ton is just what is needed to aerate.

There can be no question OF the
need OF uniformity Of legislation. The
laws regulating marriage and divorce.
child labor, titles and conyeyancins,
taxation, insurance and numerous 9th

tiers OF State enactment. But the in
terests which are subjected to these
laws are national. The affairs OF a
majority of the population Of the
country are interstate in their scope.
It is not reasonable that these in.
terests should be subjected to the

varying State regulation. Conditions,
which are developing every year, de-
mand uniform laws or the alternative
OF increasing Federal power. If the
State governments perform their full
duty in considering the interests OF
their constituencies, uniformity is pos
sible. Federal legislation will be
necessary. II the house of Govern
