1t Is greatly to the advantage of a
cooperative association that 1t be In
corporated under state laws. This IA
cilitates the transaction of business,
equitably distributes responsibility,
and gives the organization greater
prestige in the community.
Cooperative bull associations have
been common in Denmark for many
years, but the first associations of the
kind In the United States were organ
lied in 1908 by the Michigan agricul-
tural college. In this country their
growth has not been rapid, but. as a
rule, they have been highly success
full. If skillfully managed. they may
be made a great factor in the upbuild-
ing Of profitable dairying in this coun-
try.

attention must be given the mortar
in cobblestone construction, because
of the necessity of using it in large
quantities.
Although the stone may be used in
almost any type of house to advan-
tage, there is usually special distinc-
ton given the bungalow by its use.
This may be due to the fact that the
bungalow as type is particularly
adapted to all kinds Of special treat
rent. There is undoubtedly no type
of house which may be finished in as
many different ways as the bungalow
without changing the effectiveness of
itE design.
The bungalow shown here has more
than the average appeal to those who
appreciate the beauty and convenience
of this type of house. Special features
are evident In this house, both In the

an excessive amount of highly nitro
genous material.
Another effect of overlooking with
alfalfa Is sort of clogging of the
whole system, resulting in impaired
nutrition, filling Of the legs and hooks,
softness, excessive sweating, and i'm.
paired respiration. AS to the amount
to be fed, experience seems to indL
cate that one and one-fifth pounds to
100 pounds Of live weight Is about
the maximum amount for work
horses.
Because of its high proportion of d.
gestible protein, alfalfa balances up
very well with corn. These two feeds
make the most economical ration the
Kansas farmer can feed.

JAPANESE NAPLES

One can go long way and do worse
than to pick the japanese maple for
ornamental effect. The elegance of the
tree, its rich coloring and Its decorative
value cannot be overestimated.
One should always take care to give
the maple a sunny position to fully de-
velop its rich coloring. In the spring
and summer it should be literally wa
tered.
1t is important to keep the soil loose
about the base of the trees and under
no circumstances should the pruning
knife be applied.

This attention is free of cost. In the
event his case is serious he is removed

is held responsible for his life. The

Dear Sirs:

Dear Sirs:
The one part of soldiers training
which probably receives more atten-
tion than any other is that relating to
his health. 1t appears that the o. s.
Government is very much interest
from purely altrinistic motives in re-
lieVing and in more especially pre-
venting suffering among the soldiers,
just as it is interested in their enter
tainment and education. But anoth-
er motive enters into it. On the
physical condition Of man largely
depends his value as soldier. A few
of the safeguards for health may be
seen from the following: On the
first or second day after the recruit
reaches the camp he receives what
the men term a shot in the arm. 1t
is hyperdermic injection of a serum
to prevent his contracting typhoid
fever. Two more of these injections
follow at from seven to ten days apart
He receives two vaccinations If the
first does not take effect. At night
every one Of the fifteen windows in
the room must be open several inches.
Baths are frequent under the showers
Before breakfast every morning the
company falls out for calisthenics.

GERMAN SAILORS NOT TO
Be HELD PRISONERS

LONDON, Nov. 5.-According to a
news story sent in from its Copen
hagen correspondent to The London
Times, sailors from the German auxil-
larry mruiser Marie, now in Sweden
will not be interned, but will be re-
garded by Swedish authorities as ship
wrecked mariners.
The Times correspondent points out
he Swedish authorities consider tac
case of the Marie as identical with thar
of the Crocodile, sailors from which
were not taken into custody. Both the
Marie and Crocodile were recently de-
stroyed in the Cattegat by British war
ships, and it is likely the British min
lister at Copenhagen will protest
against the men from these ships be-
