A MISTAKEN idea

There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unadulterated nourishment in Scott
Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because Scott's
Emulsion first strengthens the bodybefore
making flesh Its blood-forring proper

building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use.

Wheat Soils In. Missouri.

The soils in Missouri which are
best adapted to wheat are the we'll
Trained bottoms, the brown loess, the
better limestone lands of south Mis-
souri, and the. better timber and prai-
RE lands of north Missouri. An ideal
wheat soil is one with good drainage,
with a medium to fine texture and Of
good fertility. Lack of drainage is
one of the greatest obstacles to win
Ter wheat growing. 1t is on poorly
drained lands that the alternate freez.
ing and thawing of late winter has its
greatest effect in causing "heaving."
On well-drained soils heaving is of lit
tie consequence in average seasons.
The direct freezing out of wheat
during winters of light snowfallis
also worse on wet lands. Good wheat
can sometimes be grown on land that
is inclined to be wet, but is never
sure. This statement is particularly
true of the light soils of the more
level prairies and the heavy clay loan
bottom lands.

Every farmer has not accomplished

making Of list of rainy days or odd

has been found to be a great help.
One man has been able to have his
years work done for cents an hour

method.

be from now on: "No idle days for

MULCHFOR STRAWBERRIES
USE OF WHEAT STRAW PRE-.
VENTS "HEAvING."
By J. c. Written, Professor of Horti
culture. University Of Mis-
souri,

About the time the ground begins
10 freeze the trawberry plants should
he mulched for winter.
Strawberries need mulching to pre-
vent frost from "heaving" the plants
out of the ground, loosening and rails
ing the roots by the lifting action of
the frost in the soil; to prevent al
ternate freezing and thawiig when
warm, sunny days of winter are sue
ceeded by cold nights; to keep down
weed growth between the plants in
spring; to hold the moisture in the
spring, since the strawberry needs an
abundance of moisture at the time of
ripening; to keep the berries clean
by keeping them from direct contact
with the ground and from being spat-
tered by mud during spring rains; to
keep the soil cool and prolong the
bearing period of the fruit in case
prematurely hot spring weather
comes on.
The best time to, apply the mulch
is when the ground first begins to
freeze in the early winter. It should
not be applied much before this time,
as tie plants grow until they begin
freezing and are likely to be smoth-
cred IL covered by the mulch before
their growth has been checked by &C.
we're frosts. It is well to put the
mulch on as soon as possible after
the ground begins to freeze, for the
reason that alternate freezing and
thawing in early winter may lift tha
plants and loosen their roots.
The most generally available ma
terial for mulching strawberries ID
wheat straw. Wheat straw % free
from wheat seeds as possible should
be selected. Wheat seeds in the
mulch will sprout in spring and pro

Cowpeas pay.
Farmers of Missouri. have moi
grown the cowpea as extensively as
its value warrants. This has been
probably due to the fact that the seed
was quite expensive, because OF nu
merous failures in the past In getting
good stand when sown before the
ground had sufficiently warmed, be-
cause of careless handling at harvest
time and, lastly. because the crop was
not sown at the proper time in the
rotation.
Since all of these problems can now
be avoided by proper management,
there is nothing to prevent the pro-
gressive farmer from trying a crop of
cowpeas. rival to alfalfa in food
value. The cowpea is legume which
receives large part of its nitrogen:
Gus food from air.
Leguminous plants as rule have
a tendency to be injured by so-called
"soil acidity," but the hardness of
the cowpea plant makes it less sensi.
tive than other legumes to such
condition, thus giving it wider soil
adaptation. 1t shades the land by its
rank growth, conserving moisture and
preventing the direct beat of rain
