Works Of Art.

There will be an art exhibition

Women's Clubs and can only be had
on that day. The Italian. English,
Flemish. Dutch, French. German
and Spanish schools are represented
in this collection. Some of these
pictures are rarely seen in Art
Stores; others will be recognized as
old friends. Artists that we would
like to know better. such as Giotto,
Giargime, Bellini. Mantegna. will be
shown. together with Van Dyke
Rubens. Titan and others. A large
crowd is expected to see these works
of art and the members of the Mag

GERMANS USE GAS ARMOR
Mask Protects Respiration and Vase
line Saves the Eyes Of the Sol
a. diers From Vapor.

4 Paris Excelsior gives interesting
details of German preparations for
gas attacks:
every German soldier is fur
nished with a chloroform mask,
which has the advantage of fitting
exactly over the nose and mouth,
without leaving any space for nox-
lOus fumes to penetrate. Inside the
mark he places two wads of ordinary
liDt dressing folded six or seven
times. When the alarm is given
these wads are soaked in a saturated
solution of hyposulphite of soda, or
chalk water, which stops the action
of the chloride by transforming it
into hypochlorite, or chloride of lime.
Each regiment is abundantly sup
piled with these articles. To save
the eyes they have given up spec
tacles, which are not easy to fit. In
stead, they simply put a piece of
Vaseline the size of a pea beneath
the under lid. BY rubbing gently
the whole eye is covered with a pro-
tective varnish, which does not him
der the sight and saves the eyes per-
fectly."

waited land which is not producing

age in the United States is only fairly
begun and its immense possibilities
are but little known. Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 524 of the United States de-
partment of agriculture discusses this
subject in some detail.
Lands that are too wet for the most
probable production of crops, such as
wet level land, low spots, and the dry
subsoils Of fat areas on the SUBMITS
of knobs, river and creek bottoms, and
peat boys, should be drained. Even
uplands may often be drained with
profit, especially hillsides subject to
erosion or inclined to be "spouty." In
deed, drainage is profitable wherever
it is necessary to the fullest use of the
land. It is not uncommon for lands
too wet for cultivation to produce,
when drained, 60 to 70 bushels of corn
or oats or from one to one and a half
bales of cotton to the acre. On much
of the drained land the increase of
yield is from 25 to 100 per cent, and
by the increased yield and decreased
cost of cultivation the value of the
land is often doubled
Improves the Soil.
Drainage improves the physical con-
dition OF the soil by making it more
porous and friable. Thus stiff soils
are made more easy to work. The
roots Of plants are given greater
feeding depth by the lowering of the
water level and hence the ability OF
crops to utilize moisture is increased.
Well-drained soils absorb more rain
fall than undrained soils, thus de-
creasing erosion and damage by floods.
Drainage warns the soil. Heat
from the sun acts directly upon the
soil when excessive moisture is re.
moved by drainage. This is notice
able in the North, where the planting
season is from one to two weeks
earlier on drained land than on sim
liar land when undrained. The dan
ger of damage by frost both in the
spring and in the fall is reduced.
Warming OF the soil also causes the

PROFIT FROM ALFALFA ACRE
Greatest, Most Profitable and Produe.
tive Swine Fonace-Test Made
at Iowa Station.

fBy JOHN M. EvvARD, Chief in Swine
Production. Animal Husbandry Section
Iowa Experiment Station)
Recently there was returned a profit
Of little over $3.50 for the operations
carried on an acre Of alfalfa; the corn
was charged at 60 cents, and the hogs
sold for 81.
| Now these are the returns for the
happy combination of settled corn
and an acre of settled alfalfa, taking
young growing fattening pigs to the
weight Of $50 pounds, no charge being
made for the alfalfa. Charge the al
falfc at $40 an acre and there remains
$240 pork values assuming no loss of
pigs) over and above feed costs. Labor
is arbitrarily assumed to be Offset by
the manurial residues remaining; of
course a charge of 81 pig labor could
be charged and still leave for the
acres operation net return of S206.
The alfalfa acre carried A pigs on
the average from weaving to market
these pigs finishing at $50 pounds,
fat and Embarrassing. No alfalfa, of
course. was left on the acre; it was
all pastured. This is not the best prac-
tice, but it shows what corn on an al
falfa acre will do when the corn as
well as the alfalfa is pushed to the
limit.
These pigs gained LAG pound day
during the entire grazing season OF
140 days. requiring 3S7 pounds OF corn
feed for a hundred pounds gain, this
costing $4.14 with 6O-cent corn. The
charge for alfalfa on the basis Of a
hundred pounds gain amounts to $.12
az cents). making a total cost OF
$426.
After paying for the alfalfa and
crediting all the profits to the corn
the net return per bushel was. with
81 hogs, almost a dollar. or exactly
98.5 cents.
But let US remember that alfalfa in
itself will not net $3.50 on the acre. or
corn alone 98.5 cents to the bushel
when fed to 81 hogs.
II is the very happy combination OF
settled corn and settled alfalfa that
does these things.
The cost of gains with 6O-cent corn
and $40 alfalfa at $4.25 perhaps tells
the story best--although 1t is well to
bear in mind that after all is said and
done in the swine forage story that
corn and alfalfa are prominently the
most profitable corn belt doublet OF
economic feeds that 1t is possible to
grow and fatten swine on.

Practical System.
The most practical drainage system

not a hindrance to cultivation. Tile
drains which empty into either open
or closed outlets most nearly provide
such system. By the open-ditch sys-
tenn much valuable land is occupied,
the drainage is seldom thorough, and

be cleaned out. Open bitches some
times occupy as much as ten per cent
