One Of the most important causes

soils Is the organic matter which has
much to do with the amount of avail
able plant food present in the soil. In

plete fertilizer containing some OF
per cent nitrogen, 8 or 10 per cent
available phosphoric acid and 2 or 3
per cent potash will aid materially in
securing a stand and in increasing the
yield of the clover crop.
A few years ago on the University

Christian county; the yield Of clover
was increased from 1925 pounds an
acre to $3.50 pounds with $50 pounds
Of steamed bone meal applied with

than enough to pay for the fertilizer
and the residual effect on the clover

out the state.
On certain soils in Missouri, espe
cially on the level prairies Of the
northeast and southwest sections, it is
difficult to get stand of clover on
account of poor drainage and the
acidity of the soil. The drainage of
such lands and the use Of 1000 to
5000 pounds of ground limestone an
acre, which will correct the acidity
and put the soil in more sanitary
condition for the growth of plants,
will increase the chances of obtaining
a stand. The use of alsike clover,
which is able to grow on sour and
wet lands, is to be preferred ito red
clover in these sections.

BEST WAY TO MARKET EGGS
COOPERATION AMONG MISSOURI
FARMERS WILL SAVE

Management, University Of
Missouri.

A conservative estimate places the
loss of eggs during their journey from
producer to consumer at II per cent
This means loss to Missouri of 81,
1926.
Missouri has been proclaimed, anc
rightly SO, the greatest poultry state
IN the Union. Her poultry and egg
products equal in value one-fifth Of
the value of all animals and theil
: products and one-sixth of the value oil
all field crops produced, exceeding all
individual fields crops except corn.
Eggs ~are a perishable product
Nothing else so perishable is handled
in such careless manner as eggs
With proper handling and improved
methods Of marketing, the farmers in
Missouri will receive annually be.
tween 100000 and 100000 more

Rapid advancement has been made
along many lines, but there has been
little progress in the system Of mar

The farmer sells his eggs to the coun-

For city children it is often safest
not to take the child out of the house
except on rare occasions through the
late autumn, winter and early spring
This is done in the case of frail chill
dren to avoid contagion arising from
infected dust or from meeting other
children with contagious diseases.
A child can be perfectly aired in
city house and at better advantage
than by going upon the streets. DR..
Davis tells mothers they should select
for this purpose room as high in
the house as possible, and preferably
a room which during at least some
part of the day receives the sun, says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The
child should be dressed as ii for the
street, the windows of the room wide
ly opened, the doors closed and the
child placed In his coach or carried In
arms as he would be II he went In
the street. The advantage of this
method of airing is found in the fact
that the air above the street is bet
ter than that near the ground. that

the child is not exposed to personal
contagion, nor is he exposed to strong
drapght if the doors of the room be
shut.
If the house be large, different
rooms may be selected in accordance
wit h the weather. If a cutting wind
is blowing from the north, south
erly room is preferable; If wet and
rainy wind is blowing from the
southeast, the northern room may be
chosen.
To succeed in thus giving a child
air in the house patience and regu-
Iarity are required. DR.. Davis has
repeatedly demonstrated the fact
that a child may be kept in splendid
health with abundant fresh air with
out leaving his house during the win
ter.
Child nurses naturally dislike this
method exceedingly, as they do not

The next great event which is COM

distribution of labor. Our distorted
ideas of kindness will be readjusted.
Charity will be abolished, with sim
pie justice in it's place, and people
will learn to live in proper relations

of unlIindness which makes men hard
and women cynical, and robs the

inc kindness and love one toward an

losing an only child is too great a
one for people to take: but I predict
a changed notion regarding mother
