Keeping MiIdew from Books

Can any one tell mo what I can put into my bookcase to keep the mildsU off my books? We live by the sea ano I find my books covered with mildew Surely something may be put into the cases that will absorb the moisture in stead of the books I shall be grateful for any Information. P. p.
 Put dry sponges here and there upor the shelves. taking them out on fine dry days and summing them we'll Also lay thick plotting paper upon the tops and between the books. These will ab- serb teh moisture which causes the miidew deposit Admit the air freely to your library on dry windy days, and do not fall to dust the books at least once a week. even if they are protected by glaev Goors.

Ear Drum Desired

q notice the offering of ear drums by Mrs J. s. M 1 have had considerable trouble with my hearing of late. having gone 10 specialist only recently to learn that I am threatened with pro- gressive deafness. The treatments l have taken do not seem to benefit me. This feature Is most essential In my work, as l have unlimited telephone service to attend to. If you have not already received numerous applications for the proffered ear drums I should appreciate IL very much If you would refer my request to Mrs. ]. s. NJ I shal gladly call for them or pay post age or express and trust at some time may reciprocate.

 Microscope Tor Good cause
 While In the south recently in a re- mote region of Kentucky l met Dr. H., who for the last six years has been making a study of pellagra, which IS very prevalent in these mountains. He has had the same cases under obser- vation for a number of years and has therefore been able to arrive at q eer- tain body of facts from which he hopes to deduce conclusions which may be- of definite value in determining how this disease should be treated. lie nm pressed me as serious minded ana scientific in his methods and as likely to arrive at conclusions which might be of the greatest service to human ity I found that for the purpose of continuing his studies he was in need of a microscope. Ii has occurred to me in thinking the matter over that possibly through your helpful Corner some one may be led to become lh- terested and loan or give microscope for the purpose in question. If this could be done I am certain that tho Corner could render no greater service than would be done by such a gift.
 II. F. F.
 The foregoing. from man of edu- cation and intelligence who has trav- eied far and thought much, deserves more than a passing notice.
 The disease of which he speaks Is exciting grave apprehension In the states where maize forms a large por- ton of the food of the inhabitants. Scientific men declare that tho preva- 1ence of pellagra among Italian peas ants Is caused by eating soured 'po- lcuta" known to us as cornmeal mush. The germs of the disease are deVei- oped by the putrefaction of the mush.
 The disorder of digestive organs and nervous Arrangement which are symp- tomatic of the malady result fatally if it be not checked. The appeal to the scientific members of our staff here Is strong and to all who have the ii- terests of the afflicted communities at heart. Cannot we find d. microscope for the brave man who is battling single handed in the noble work of stamp ing out the plague?

The following information was
prepared by the Agricultural
Extention Department of the A.

In growing kaffir corn and
milo maize fall preparation of
the land is preferable to spring
blowing. Deep blowing is better
than shallow blowing because it
encourages deep roofing. Fall
broke land should be planted to
some winter cover crop. If no
winter cover crop is planted the
soil should be narrowed during
the winter months.
