Rev A. E. kepford, state lecturer
on tuberculosis. has inaugurated q
movement to have sermons preached
from as many church pulpits as pos
sible on Sunday, April a, on the raw
ages OF the white plague and the
campaign for its eradication. A large
number of Iowa ministers have be-
come interested and ii is planned to
make the movement nationwide in
scope and character. 1t would seem
as though one Sunday in the year was
none too much TO give to the saliva

the remaining fifty-one should be suf-
fcient for the salvation of souls in
the next.

Better Water Supply for the Farm.

Housekeepers must be freed

poses, and the bathroom must be
made q recognized feature of the
country home as we'll as of the

too much to say that the way to
all these things is clearly pointed
out in this issue. The old excuse,
II can not afford it," will no
longer answer. When one can
have q bathroom fitted up for less
than $40, and when water can be
supplied to the whole house for
from 500 to $500, the question
becomes, "How long, can I afford
to do without it?' Not blt

Cereal Crops for Cover and Grazing.

The crops generally used for fall
sowing to serve as cover aid graz

vetches, bur clover and rye. Oats,
wheat and barley are sometimes

for the next summer rather than
as cover and grazing crops, al
though they serve more or less for
both these purposes. If the land
