Three Things Nccessary-Mosquito
Bar, Water Filter and Quinine.
Without a mosquito bar a white
person would be unable to live on the
equator, writes Ida Vera Simonion in

No matter how hot and sitting the
highland no other place can be so

midst of the jungle-one must sleep

When the mosquito bar was let down

Correcting Acidity I'm Soils.

Aoidity in soils, while not directly
injurious itself to most crops, is not a
condition of fertility and usually in
dictates a need of phOsphates.
Especially is it detrimental to the
growth of clOvers, in that il does not
favor the development of bacteria
forming nodules on their roots, which
fix the nitrogen from the air. Clay
icam soils, the organic matter of which
has been to a considerable extent ex
hausted, should be kept in as favorable
a condition for the growth o. clover
as possible, and the neutralizing of any
acidity is one of the most important
factors.

Breeding for Eggs.

Poultry must be bred to lay eggs.
The fancier loses sight of that pur-
pose. A show bird really should have
one more requirement, namely, that it
be an egg producer. This would
greatly help in the upbuilding of the
poultry trade. Well-flled is not n
ways well fed The hen will crowd
its crop full of corn, and will put on
fat, but will lay few eggs. To be well
fed means more than just plenty of
feed. 1t means those kinds of food
which will go to make eggs.-Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

Animals Need Juicy Feed.

The digestive organs Of animals that
chew their cud are Sc formed as to
require comparatively juicy and bulky
food. The COW can not thrive on dry
food as we'll as the horse The ideal
food for the dairy COW is good pas
ture, but for a large part of the year
green pasture is not available The
best substitutes to furnish this succu-
lent feed during this period are root
crops and corn silage. Corn yields
about twice as much dry matter per
acre as do root crops. AS root crops
require much more labor, silage is by
far the most economical for I'll ose
where corn can not be grown.
