But he must have food two other times every day and the scientists are busily instructing physicians and nurses, who in turn in- suuct mothers how to cook apples, carrots and spinach for the babies.
 "Wc cook the apples or carrots un- ti soft as porridge and serve it to the baby with a spoon. He hasn't a tooth in his head, yet, but he has learned to eat with a spoon We put the boiled spinach through a seive."
 "What does he like best of the tbreee"
 Apples, because we always put a little sugar into the apple sauce. Carrots he likes also, but spinach! He makes faces at it, but when he cries for food, he can't always be silenced even with spinach.
 "He grows fat on his war food, too. Ny other children always had milk five times a day, and as much as they wanted. They liked milk, as all babies do. But this baby is learning to eat things that he doesn't like.
 "I don't like to see him have to do it. I feel sorry when l must feed him spinach. Think of it! And so here l am in Holland to give him all the milk he wants for a time He laughs and coos every time he sees

Trees on Pasture

Perhaps one of the greatest sources
Of loss OF fertility from pasture soils
results from the poor location of shade
trees and brush. according to the au-
thor OF The Grazing Industry Of the
Bluegrass Region. a bulletin recently
published by the department. Trees
and brush, he states, should anyways
be set on the higher portions of the
field and not along the banks Of run
ming streams, as so often is the case.
With good grass, the animals do not
Craze more than one-third of the time;
the rest Of the time is spent lying
down or standing in the shade fighting
flies. Hence much of the manure
that is made does not get back direct

If the manure produced while the ami
mails are not grazing is deposited on
the tops Of the hills it's beneficial eff
fects on the grass may be noted for
