well drained and adapted to intensive
trucking. The original soil Is usually
employed. but when necessary rich
soil is hauled and placed in the beds.
The first essential is good drainage,
and If the land is not naturally well
drained it should be tiled or provided
with numerous open bitches to carry
off the water. The surface of the soil
should be graded and all depressions
filled In and leveled. For best results
the land should be subjected to two
or three years of preparation by ma
nuring and planting to leguminous
crops
The presence of plenty of organic
matter in the soil is very important,
especially where large quantities of
commercial fertilizers are to be used.
This organic matter may be added in
the form of stable manure. but more
satisfactory results will be obtained
where leguminous crops are included
in the preparatory treatment For
green manure nothing is better than

tuberculosis Sanitorla.

AS an investment in the health Of
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor unions
and one of the largest insurance com
panies in the United States have es-
tablished sanatoria for the treatment
of tuberculosis, according to a state
ment issued by the National Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. The Royal League, the
first fraternal order to establish n
sanatorium. conducts a hospital for
its tuberculous members at Black
Mountain. The Modern Woodmen OF
America conducts one at Colorado
Springs; the Workmens Circle, one
at Liberty, N. ", and the Independent
Order of Foresters have one at Rain
bow Lake, N. Y, and will soon open a
second one at San Fernando, Cal. The
International Typographical Union has
since 1898 conducted sanatorium at
Colorado Springs, and the Interna-
tional Printing Pressman and Assist
ants Union of America has recently
opened new institution at Rogers
vile, Tenn. A leading life insurance
company is now erecting a sanator-
ium at Mt McGregor, N. Y, which will
be the first of it's kind established
by an "old line" insurance company.

Red Gross chrlstmas Seals.


A statement denying the recent re.
ports about the abandonment of the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale has
been issued by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis. The statement declares
that not only will the sale be held
this year, as in the past three years
but that it will be conducted on broad
er lines than ever before. The only
order issued by the postoffice depart
ment which bears on the sale of Red
Cross seals was sent out on July l.
and prohibits the use of the mails to
letters and packages bearing non.
postage stamps on the face. and also
to any mail bearing seals which re.
semble postage stamps, If used either
on the face or back The Red Cross
seal to be used this year has been
submitted to the postoffice depart
mehnt and approved, and thus may be
used, but only on the back of letters
and packages. The design to be used
this year depicts a pretty winter scene
enclosed in heavy red circle. The
corners are white, thus giving the eff
feet when affixed to a letter or a
package of round seal.

sometimes as much as thirty to sixty
carloads to the acre. The manure
is generally spread In a broad, fiat
pile to compost before 1t Is applied to
the soil on which frames are to be
located. Where manure is employed
for heating the beds it may after
wards be mixed with the soil for the
growing of subsequent crops. In the
work with frames around Norfolk,
Va. the manure is placed in long, mar.
row piles and turned two or three
times before it is used in the beds.
Care should be exercised to avoid the
use of manure in which there are
shavings or sawdust. as these have an
injurious effect upon the growth OF
plants Poultry and sheep manure
are excellent fertilizers for frame
work. but the quantity obtainable is
very small. In the application OF
natural manures of all kinds 1t is es.
sential that the manure should be
fine; that 1t be what is termed short"
