According to the Wisconsin station,
an excellent plan to supply the soil
with the proper bacteria for alfalfa is
to use a mixture of one-fourth alfalfa
and three-fourths clover or grass seed
TO seed down portion Of the farm.
The clover or mixed hay will be Of a
better grade with alfalfa grown in

survive become bacteria producers and
distributors for future crops of alfalfa.

To throw manure out Of the dump

accumulate at the sides of the barn, un-

Tulsa. Okla. is setting an example
for the United States in modern school
buildings. A contract has been let for
the first group of buildings of what

TEN. Instead of one large building
there will be several two room units,
arranged in q quadrangle around q 800

room on the ground floor. The class
room units will be 30 by 50 feet. and the
assembly hall will be so by GO feet,
seating 400 persons. There will be no
inner halls or corridors. An outer cor
ridor of concrete within the quadrangle
will take the place Of the usual cloak

structed that it can be used as an am
phitheater from which to witness the
amusements of the playground.
In the basement Of the assembly hall
will be swimming pool. In that base
ment also will be the heating plant.
which will serve the entire quadrangle
by means Of concrete ducts. Each unit
will be ventilated by natural gravity

PARIS, July 29.-With sub-com-

and the main body from Germany, the
entire strength of one hundred mem
bers of the American commission of
agricultural Cooperation gathered
here for the last week of its visit in

time that the entire party was togeth-

trip subcommittee have been sent
to Russia, Egypt. Switzerland. Spain
and Sicily In all, fourteen countries
of the continent were visited
The welcome to France was extend
ed first by NJ. Clementel, minister of
agriculture. A luncheon was served

SUMMER HINTS TO
MOTHERS WHO CARE
ScasOnabIc Advice on the Health OF
Children in Hot Weather

ScaSOnabie ADVICE on the Health OF
Children in Hot Weather.
1t is well that mothers be advised
not to over-feed the children during
the hot months. No one requires as
much food in summer as in winter.
Feed the children lighter and more
easily digested foods. See that the
milk is cool and kept away from
flies. Be careful that the fruit is
ripe, and If the child begins to
scratch the skin, indicating too much
acid in the blood, deprive it Of fruit
for several days
1t is quite natural that under these
conditions there will be some diges-
tive disturbance, such as constipa-
tion, indigestion or summer diar-
rhoea. 1t may be accompanied by a
cold or by eruptions of the skin. The
timely remedy, and one which you
can rely on for results, is a small
dose of DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
on retiring, and by morning the bow
els will move and the trouble viii
vanish. The exceptional tonic ingre-
dients in this remedy will tone the
stomach and enrich the blood, and
the child will feel its usual self again.
