In Great Demand.

Movie actors whose physical make
up resembles some of the great char
acters in American history are in great
demand because nearly all the moving
picture companies are making patriotic
films. Recently three men came out OF
the Metro office on Broadway, and
their appearances were SO impressive
that all the squads and busy actors
not only gave them the once over, but
stopped and looked at them. One or
the men bore striking resemblance to
Abroham Lincoln. Another was almost
the image of the Father of His Country

BACTERIA MAKE ALFALFA

The seed from which the plant on
the left sprang up was inocuIated. No
treatment was given the puny plant on
the right.
grain drill, or by broadcasting it, after
the land has been fitted. The inoculat-
ing material should be taken from the
top four or five inches of the old field,
after an inch Of the surface soil has
been removed. The best time to apply
1t to the new field is in the evening,
just before a rain, or during a rain.
The inOculating, of course, should be
done before the seed is sown.
When the purse cultures are en-
ployed. the procedure is as follows:
1. Do not open the bottle of culture
until you are ready to treat the seed,
and treat only as much seed as you can
sow in day.
2. Cover the seed with water and
after standing from two to five minutes
allow all moisture to drain away. ct
Is convenient to place the seed In a
grain sack and dip into a tub of fresh,
clean water, then suspend the sack for
few minutes.)
3. Spread the seed on clean oil
cloth, table or floor in a clean, shady
place.
4. Break up the culture by shaking
or Earring the bottle against the hand,
pour a little clean, cold water (from
one to three teaspoonfuls) into the
bottle Of culture and mix the contents
with the seed. II is recommended and
thought best by many who are au-
thorities In seed incubation that about
two ounces of granulated sugar be
mixed throughout the mass of mois-
tened seed before treating with the
culture. The use of glue is condemned.
3. If the seed is too wet and sticky
to plant, It may be spread out In the
shade. 1t should be neither wet nor
dry, but as moist as IL can be and yet
seed evenly. Plant the seed just as
you would treat untreated seed.
9. A small strip should be planted
with uninoculated seed for comparison
and this should be seeded first

/. Keep the cows clean.
2. Use covered milk pals.
3. Milk with dry hands.
4. Remove milk from the barn i'm
mediately and separate it ut once.
8. Set the separator so that it will
skim cream that will test from 80 to
40 per cent in the winter and from
40 to 40 per cent in the summer.
6. Wash, scald, and dry the separa-
tor and all utensils Immediately after
using. The separator bowl may be
dried in warm oven, though the
oven should not be so warm that it
will melt the tin on the bowl parts.
Setting utensils in the sun is good
practice, as the sunshine acts as a
germicide.
z. Keep all utensils and separator
parts dry when not in use.
8. Cool the cream Immediately after
skimming by setting the can in cold
running water. Construct cooling

ROUGHNESS FOR DAIRY cow
Animal Is Not Content Unless Stomach
Is FuII-Feed Grain According to
Milk Yield.

Roughness is the first important con-
sideration. A COW is not contented
unless her stomach is full. She should
always have all the roughness that
she will clean up and then the amount
of grain she receives should be regu-
lated by the amount of milk pro-
duced.
A dry COW in good condition should
be fed roughness only, and does not
need any grain. In feeding grain to
milk producing cows, the following rule
may be used, and is found to work fair
ly well: Feed one pound of grain for
each three pounds or pints of milk pro-
duced.

beans, for instance, will not mature
In Michigan.
If your own seed is TO be used, see
first that IL is carefully hand-picked
and all blighted and frosted beans
taken out. Only clean seed will pro-
duce n clean crop.
Do not plant immature or frosted
beans. They will neither terminate
well nor bring forth vigorous plants.
Do not cultivate the beans while
wet with rain or dew. To do so will
spread the blight.
Those in doubt as to the cleanliness
of their seed are invited to send n
sample to the botany department OF
the college for free examination.
An effective use of manure this year
is on fields intended for beans or late
potatoes.
The application of either acid phos-

KIDNEY REMEDY
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

There is no medicine which we handle
that gives such good results as your
Swamp Root. Many of our customers
have informed us at different times that
they have derived great benefit from its
use.
There was one case in particular which
attracted great deal of attention in this
neighborhood early last Spring, as the
gentleman's life was despaired of and two
doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable to give him any re-
lief. Finally specialist from st. Louis
was called in but failed to do him any
good. i at last induced him to try your
Swamp-Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This
case has been the means of creating an
increased demand for your Swamp-Root
with US.
