The study Of the red and alsike
clover fields will be full Of interest
from the standpoint Of acreage COM
pared with that of other crops and
their usefulness as a feed for live
stock, as soil builders and also their
place in crop rotation.
The alfalfa fields will be OF special
interest as it is one of our most useful
crops, hence the methods, time and
rate Of seeding will be dicussed quite
thoroughly, also kinds of soils best
adapted for growing alfalfa and kind
of seed to use, its value as a feed
compared with red and alsike clover.
Also it's use as pasture.
The testing of the soil for acidity
and the results obtained by the use
of lime will also be full of interest IS
most Of the farms in Iowa can b
greatly benefited by the application Of
lime.
Many other features relative to the
soils and farm crops work will be dis
cussed at length On the farms under
investigation and farmers will be in
vited to ask number Of questions on
this tour relative to these two depart
ments.
The pastures will be studied with
reference to their acreage, the kind Of
grass used, conditions and amount Of
live stock that can be kept per acre.
In addition to these live stock,
farm buildings and home conditions
will be- taken up at the several stops.

Am Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stufflng it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless Flesh creams" Or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot get
fat until your digestive tract assimi-
lates the food you eat
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tifc discovery, 1t is now possible to
combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or.
CANS to help them convert food into
rich. fat-laden blood This master
stroke Of modern chemistry is called
Sargol and has been termed the great
est of fesh-builders. Sargol aims
through its re-generative, recon
structive powers to coax the stomach
and intestines to literally soak up the
fattening elements of your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
are carried to every starved, broken
down cell and tissue Of your body.
You can readily picture the result
when this amazing transformation
has taken place and you notice how
your cheeks fill out, hollows about
your neck, shoulders and bust disaD-
pear and you take on from 10 to 90
pounds of solid, healthy flesh Sargol
is absolutely harmless, inexpensive,

leading druggists of Keokuk and vicin-

power to mourn with those who
mourn, to labor increasingly, to serve
those who most need help. But with
the agony, with all the labor, with all
the service and after all the mourning,
there comes an assurance Of life
eternal. The reward is for other and
future years. Heaven itself is doubt
less, only a larger field for larger

Several hundred years later Chinese

his country, that the mobiles built hos
pitfalls for the poor in the large cities
1t has, however, been left to the chris
tian era and the development of med.
cine and the healing arts for the great
est progress to be made. There was
never time in the history of the
world when there were more hospitals
and more use for hospitals than the

never been time in the history Of
the world when those who practice
medicine or the arts of healing had
more influence, prestige and honor

hatchery for trapping beaver. A num-
