MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation Improved, but Further Work
10 Needed to Stamp Out
tuberculosis.

Only four states, Mississippi, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever In special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis was organized there were "a
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives exist
ed, and the entire number Of beds In
the United States was only 10000.
while these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth In anti-tubercu-
losis activity says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary Of the
National association, in commenting
on the subject, there are still prao-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one Of the 10000 beds, including
those for pay patients. In other words,
we have from 100000 to 100000 con-
sumptives in this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves
II tuberculosis Is ever going to be
stamped out Of the United States,
more hospital provision for these foci
Of infection must be provided"

USE OF GYPSUM
OR LAND PLASTER
Practice Nearly Always Increase
Yield OF CIOvers and
PeaS-How to
Apply At.

Plaster nearly always increases the
growth of the clovers and peas. Mixed
with an equal quantity of wood ash,
it is largely used by gardeners and
truckers to stimulate the growth Of
early potatoes, corn, beans and cab
bage.
Plaster is a sulpbate of lime, and
both the sulphuric acid and the lime
are active principals in plant growth.
The time to SOW plaster on clover an
oats and peas is when the plants ara
making their first leaves. Sow at tho
rate of two bushels to the acre.
On land that has been recently
lined the application of plaster has
little effect. The only way to find out
the value of plaster is to measure off
an acre of clover or an acre of grass
and clover pasture and SOW, say, two
bushels to the acre, leaving the adj
joining acre upholstered. The growth
of the plastered clover will prove itN
value in few weeks after the plaster
has been sown. When plaster can be
had for $40 per ton it will pay to SOW
it at the rate of two bushels to the
acre on dry upland meadows and clo-
yer fields, on pastures, oats and peas
and on all the bean family. 1t is also
valuable for sowing on clover stubble
after the first crop has been cut for
hay. The dressing of plaster at this
time will greatly encourage the second
growth clover. On most every farm
there are variety of soils, and fer

SlnnInn and the Lunns.

1t is well known that singing. like
whistling, is a fine exercise for tho
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit OF
taking the big deep breath, which is .
primary requisite of any kind Of sing
ing, bad or good, and the physical
Joy derived from it will never allow
you to relapse into lazy breathing.

EXCELLENT FEEDS
TO FATTEN LAMBS
Use OF Alfalfa for Rougha9e
S4mpIifies Question Con.
stderabIy-Peas are
Recommended.

(By J. R. M'NULTY, Colorado Agrlcul-
tural College,
The great question which the sue
cessful lamb feeder is now trying to
solve Is that of the most economical
concentrate to be used In fattening his
lambs.
The fact that most feeders are using
alfalfa for a roughage simplifies the
above problem considerably. Alfalfa
supplies the protein, and when fed
with a fattening concentrate, as corn
or barley, reduces the amount of feed
required for pound gain to the mini
mum. Experiments prove that corn
is just tritie better, pound for pound,
than barley when both are fed in con-
nection with one of the legume hays,
as clover or alfalfa. There is little
data on the economy of feeding corn
alone with upland or timothy hay or
with corn slower. This follows from
the fact that such ration would lack
considerably in protein. Doubtless
barley would somewhat excel corn,
pound for pound, when fed with rough
ages lacking protein, as the ones last
named. Whole barley may be fed
very successfully to fattening sheen
The fact that cotton seed meal can
be purchased fol a price comparing
favorably with that of corn in Colora-
do has suggested the feeding of this
concentrate with alfalfa hay for fat
tening lambs. In this combination,
however, we have two feeds high in
protein and consequently an unbal-
anced ration. Oil meal is fed quite
extensively with timothy hay and
roots, in which combination Nit gives
very good results. On the other hand,
very few records of sheep fattened on
cottonseed meal and alfalfa are avail
able, for, as rule, protein rich feeds
(alfalfa and oil meaD are the most
expensive nutrients of a ration and
are not usually combined. 1t is very
probable, however, that some cotton
seed meal can be fed. when alfalfa is
fed, If We use a mixed ration of corn
aid cottonseed meal. The best pro-
portion would perhaps be one-third
cottonseed meal and two-thirds corn,
either shelled or cracked. This COM
blnatiop should give good results and

A Profitable Bunch of Youngsters.

AS I have found that even work
stock can be kept in good condition
on well-cured hay, If allowed to eat a
full ration at each meal, l have about
concluded that on the great majority
of farms large portion of the grain
fed to work stock may be eliminated
If plenty of good, bright clover hay is
fed to all stock, and sufficient time
allowed for the horses to eat it. Thi1
may seem to be sort of heresy to
the vast number of men all through
the big corn states, who feed little
grain, except corn, and some OF them
no roughage part of the year except
corn fodder. But I know whereof !
speak, some of the best teams that !
have ever seen are never fed anything
except clover hay, unless by chance
that runs low, and 1t is necessary to
feed timothy hay; and, when that Is
done, feed Of corn is given along
with it.
1t always seems to me very remark
able that so few men use clover as the
principal feed for their stock, when
there is such inducement to do so.
have never known of case where
any one was not pleased with the rO.
suits in feeding clover hay to work
horses, if he had good, bright hay
and gave reasonable grain ration
in the shape Of corn with it.
Where the chief grain fed is oats
the clover is not suitable, because thu
percentage of starchy matter or ita
equivalent would not be properly
proportional to the proteids. AS ]
know men who have for years not fed
an ounce of grain to horses doing
farm work daily, and they have kept
in fine condition, and at steady work
on nothing but nice, clean, bright,
well-cured clover hay it seems to me
that a great many men are wasting
money in their method of feeding
and are failing to improve their soil
because they do not sow the clover.
Probably the latter is the more i'm
portant, point to be considered. Com.
mon sense and clover are mighty
good factors in successful farming.

What should be a strong inducement
% every owner of farT with COWS
10 make and sell butter is the fact
that this form of dairying makes it
possible not only to maintain the soil
fertility, but to constantly add to it.
While the solids in the milk con-
Jain the most essential elements Of
fertility, the butter fat contains no
element of fertility at all Hence, the
selling of milk in large quantities in
evitably reduces the productiveness
Of the farm, unless large proportion
Of the feed for the cows is bought off
the farms, instead of being grown on it.
On the. other hand, butter contains
practically nothing that constitutes
an element of fertility in the soil, says
A writer in Farm Progress. For this
'eason, if one has poor farm, and
wants to adopt a line of farming that
will soonest and most economically
make it productive, the best plan will
Oe to keep COWS, and sell the cream
Or butter And the more feed one
buys, and the less he takes off his
swn place, except clover, the sooner
The soil may be made rich.
Having had considerable experience
with clover, cowpeas, Canada peas
and other legumes, l have concluded
that for soil improvement the red
clover or alsike, will be found the
Oest thing for the purpose. I would
only use alsike in case the land
TO be improved was rather moist, as
on that sort of soil It will usually
make a better growth than common
red or any other, except white clover,
and that does not make a sufficiently
bulky growth to serve the purpose
best.
In some experience of. my own, 1
have found that sowing orchard grass
and clover together makes most eX-
,ellent pasture; and, if one keeps the
stock off, it is possible to get a
growth that will make fine mixture
for hay; but when clover is cut at the
right time and properly cured, there
is no more nutritious forage that can
be grown.

were the first to consider the prob

on them the keenest sort of intelli-

minds in all ages have been concerned
with them. When we get new Idea,
for instance, we often feel as II we
had known 1t all the time, only 1t
had never come to the surface before
in our minds and been recognized be-
fore. Does this mean that somehow
all fragments of 1t come to conscious

more powerful glass might radically
change its appearance. Which is the
'ree.I table? What is behind the data
that our senses give us? We wonder
where we come from and what the
real meaning OF life is. These and
similar problems come up at times in
the minds Of most persons, whether
students of philosophy or not. says
the Kansas City Star. A considera-
ton of such questions certainly tends
to widen the horizon, and to give a
possible background to existence.
