Care VS.. Neglect

Farmers must keep more and better
stock if they would make farming pay.
1t is an essential and a most profitable
accomplishment to learn by mistakes,
not make light of them and be indif-
ferent to them so as to make the same
blunder again. When we have learned
how to save, to make and apply
manure (this means more stock fed on
the farm in the most profitable man.
ner; when we have learned to turn
grain into meat in the most profitable
way, which will be to feed most of the
grain to our stock, then the manure
of the animals fed will increase the
next crop nearly two fold; then we
may believe that farming pays. 1t is
natural that the soils fertility will
gradually become less strong. If we
would be thrifty cultivators we must
calculate to keep stock to consume our
crops and eventually return 1t to the
soil. To keep too many half starved
animals is not right; 1t is poor policy
to allow them to become poor and we
have no right to keep or retain half
starved animals for the mere sake of
having them. The kind of soil a man
cultivates in connection with the crops
and stocks he raises determines the
kind of farmer he Is.

About Her Child'S Recovery
IS Entirely Reliable.

Palmyra, Pa.-"Three years ago my
little girl had black measles which left
her with chronic cough and so awfully
thin you could count all her ribs, and she
coughed so much she had no appetite.
"Nothing we gave her seemed to
help her at all until one day Mrs. Neibert
told me how much good Vinol had done
her little girl, so decided to try 1t for
my little one, and it has done her so much
good she is hungry all the time, her
cough is gone, she 10 stouter and more
healthy in color ana this is the first win
ter she has been able to play out in the
snow, coasting and snow-balling without
any i'll effects. ~ Mrs. ALFRED SLACK,
Palmyra, Pa.
We know Vinol will build up your
little ones and make them healthy,
strong and robust, therefore we ask
parents of every frail and sickly child
in this vicinity to try bottle of Vino,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil.
If we can induce you to try bottle
of Vinol as a body builder and strength
creator for your child, and you do not
find it is all we claim, we will return
your money on demand.

APPRECIATION OF AR|zONA'S
 GOOD AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

impossible to segregate all the special features of our courses that deal with semi-ari subtropical conditions into a single short course that can all be talk en in one year. We find it better to correlate each subject that must be taught In every agricultural college to the special conditions under which. we are working Thus, in animal hue- bandry we pay much attention to the breeds that are best adapted to our arid ranges and to our hot irrigated val leys: in the study of soils we pay more attention than usual to the subject Of alkaH and to the humus and nitrogen problems.
 "Presuming that the young men are already well trained in the more funda - mental branches of agriculture and al lied sciences. we would suggest that they follow some of the more special ized courses which will be taught next year. Since they can stay but one year, they should come prepared in trigo- nomctry This will enaable them to take up ordinary surveying which is nee essary to the study of irrigating en- giueering, during the second semester. The course in dry farming will be of practical value to them also. Our course in citrus culture covers all citrus fruits and when there is time enough, also the date the olive and the fig. Our courses on taXonomy and geology of desert plants will have practical bearing on the agricultural problems of their home land. The course in range study will treat not only the forage plants of arid ranges but the trouble some problems of range administration from various view points will be dis cussed. Landscape gardening as taught at the University of Arizona treats in thoroughly practical way of the trees and other ornamentals suit able for planting in arid regions. A valuable course in small power and pumping plants suitable for agricultur- al students is also offered by the me chanical engineering department.
 Tn order to get the most good from their short stay they should come ex- pecting to do considerable travelling, since visits should be made to the various agricultural districts of Ari- zona. where the different methods of dry-farming as well as irriga ton may be seen in operation

Still the assessment be-

Students from Elsewhere Hear of Advantages Of fered at Tacson Institu- ton - Something About the Big School

The diversity of the agricultural courses being given at the University of Arizona College of Agriculture and the adaptation of these courses to the unusual conditions that exist in the various and widely different agricul- tural regions of Arizona is sometimes not realized by AriZonans themselves. The high standard of this work, how ever, is attracting the attention of stu dents in other states who are anxious to qualify themselves for agricultural work in this or similar semi-arid sub tropical lands. Many applications for information regarding these courses are being received from California and the east and undoubtedly many of the cap able young men who are inquiring will decide to follow agriculture in the Southwest as a permanent occupation.
 Not only are students from other states recognizing the opportunities offered here for the study of arid region crops and their culture Gnclud- ing irrigation and dry -farming), but other institutions are beginning to ad- wise their students who are especially interested in this line Of work to take part Of their course at the University of Arizona. Recently, one of the larg- est eastern agricultural colleges asked what could be offered to two young men from South Africa who wished to become more familiar with irrigation than was possible in that institution. An official of the United States depart ment of agriculture had suggested that, for their particular purpose, Arizona would be the best location.
 The reply To this inquiry by pr. A. r.. Vinson of the College of Agriculture will serve to give the young men of Arizona an idea of the advantages af- forded in their own state

Many other stomachs contained less numbers. The larve of these beetles are the well-known grub worms" one of the pests of agricul- ture They feed upon the roots of grass and other cultivated plants and are at all times doing harm and are often the cause of great damage. Besides these, many other injurious or annoying insects were found, but mostly in smaller quantities.
 Other kell-known pests destroyed by the Nighthawk are the Colorado po- tato beetle cucumber beetle, chestnut, rice, clover-leaf and cotton boil wee wills, bill bugs, bark beetles, squash bugs and moths of the cotton worm. Several species of mosquitos, the transmitter of malaria, are eaten. More than 600 species of insects have been identified from the stomachs all ready examined. Bugs, of the Chinch bug faimly, were found in very con siderable numbers, though that pest itself was not observed. Leafhoppers were also eaten in great numbers. Many stomachs were nearly filled with soft bodied ephemerids and caddis flies The Nighthawk is also in- strumental in destroyng the cotton boil -weevl.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri- ant, remove every bit of dandruff. stop scalp itching ana falling hair. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle at drug stores, known as "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
 While wispy, gray. faded hair is not sinful we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. and, after an other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luXuriant.

THOUSANDS LOST
 IN CHINESE FLOODS
[Assoc1ArEp PRESS n1srArcHI

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Althoueh dispatches to the State Department said that so far as known no Amer jeans had perished, officials esti- mated that in the West River val ley of China there are about 100 missionaries from United States. Thousands of natives were drowned Tn floods in the provinces of Kwan Tung, Kwangsi, Kiangsi. Thousands fled to high ground after their houses burned. The desolation is terrible, according to reports from Consul General Anderson. American gunboats are being sent to the res cue.
 Other Americans in flooded dis tricts generally live at Canton, Wu- chow, Ranking, Kongmoon. Thous- ands of natives live in houseboats in the river. Department officials pointed out that probably a great mum i Der perished. A majority of the Amer jeans and foreigners of Canton lived on the island of Shameen which is now
 under ten feet of water, while the city is flooded similarly. Foreign consul lates were established on Shameen to- Sether with hotels and other public
 buildings. The extent to which they are damaged is not indicated in dis patches.
