THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE Nothing Like Plain Bltro-Phoephat to Put on Firm, Hoalthy Ploah and to Inoreaas Stroncrth,' Vigor and Norvo Foroo. Judging from the countless preparations and treatments which are continually be ins advertised for tha-purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing; arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health -and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually du to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than Is contained In modern -foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among drug Cists as bltro-phosphate, which Is inex pensive and is sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the neces sary phosphoric food elements, bltro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome trans formation in the appearance; the Increase In weight frequently being astonishing. This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and Jack of energy, which nearly alwayB accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. CAUTION: Although bltro-phosphate la unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness, It should not, owing to its remarkable flesh growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.

IS FULFILLING ITS MISSION Practical and Constructive Means of Meeting Various Problems Utili zation of Wastes, By-Products and Grazing Crops. (Prepared by the United States "Depart ment of Agriculture.) Evidence In abundance Indicates Hint the boys and girls'" pig club work plays u promising part lu stimulating the swine Industry. The direct effects are very evident In various suctions of the country. They show that .tho work Is fulfilling Its mission, that it Is a practical and constructive means . of meeting the problem In swine husbandry and stress ing economy of production through the utilization of wnstcs, by-products, and grazing crops; through tho use of good breeding stock, and their proper care, feeding and management. These Excellent Type of Brood Sow and Hei Family. objects are accomplished through the innato nppenl of animal life to young people, and their faith, optimism nnd determination, which, together with their responsiveness to Instruction, 'cad to successful achievement. To provide work thnt may meet the leed In the different sections of the country nnd the need of the members is they ndvance, the following projects re offered nnd are In common use: 1. Feeding project, (n) Fatten ing phnse, In which the member feeds 1 pig or a number of pigs for pork production. (b) Breeding phase, In which a weanling purebred sow pig (or boar snd In somo cases both) Is raised by the member to breeding size and age. 2. Sow and litter project. . In this project the member lias a sow (either the one raised in project 1, or another bred gilt) which ho or she cares for until the sow has weaned the litter; Uiat Is, this project covers the practi cal breeding and raising of pigs. 3. Herd project. In sections where tho swine Industry Is well established the members In many ccscs have had experience in enring for swine and are not interested In a unit of one or two pigs, such members may, with their parents consent, handle all tho hogs on the farm in either meat production or breeding work, under the fnther's direction, yet following the club regu lations and Instructions. NOT ALWAYS AS GOOD LAYERS Undersized Chickens Will Not Mako Good Hens for Winter Cull Out Undesirables. Not all of the eurly-ha'tched pullets will mnke good winter layers, accord ing to K. II. Wlegand, state poultry club leader, of ICansns. "An early-batched pullet thnt Is un dersized at this season will never make a go)d hen," he says. "If proper care Is given It should begin laying In mid winter. Don't waste feed on .any except tho promising pullets. They should haVe good care and good feed at all stages. "It Is Impossible to grow pullets carelessly and on short rations until they reach the age when they should bo full grown nnd mature, nnd then bring them forward quickly by a short course of good management. "The pullet that Is worth keeping as a layer Is worth good care and full rations all the time. One that Is not considered wortli keeping should bo enten or marketed. Undersized birds will not pay for tho feed they eat dur ing winter." EAT COWPEAS AND SOY BEANS Usefulness as Human Food Recognized Only Recently In This Country, Says Houston. Secretnry Houston of tho United States department of ngrlcuituro, says tho usefulness of cowpeas and soy beans ns human food has been recog nized only recently In tills country. Existing conditions warrant the plant ing of nil tho available seed of varie ties known to do well In the several sections. The soy bean In particular has proved sufllclently reslstrnt to cold In spring nnd to adverse .weather dur ing summer to wnrrant heavy plant ing. The value of the beans for oil production, as well as for human food, hns become recognized so quickly nnd so generally during tho last yeatthat Iho crop has acquired a commercial standing far In excess of Its previous status. .5 1 ALFALFA INSECT IS DANGEROUS TO CROP Chalsis Fly Is Principal Cause of Blighted Seed. Damage Is Especially Severe In Cat. Ifornia and States on Pacific Slope of Rocky Mountains Basis of Control Work. (Prepared by ""the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The alfalfa-seed chalsis fly, an Insect the size of a gna't, Is the principal cause of bllglited alfalfa seed. Its range covers practically tho whole of tho United States. While Its ravages extend to clover and bur clover, the largest damage Is done to nlfalfa seed Damage occurs wherever on alfalfa seed crop Is grown, but Is especially severe In California nnd tho states on the Pacific slope of the Hocky moun tains. Tho ""fly deposits Its eggs through the seed pod directly Into tho green seed, where the larva Is hatch ed and grows to maturity. All changes, both larval and pupal, nre effected In side the seed. The adult Insect emerges through n hole cut at one end of the seed, leaving only a hollow shell. Tho egg of tho ehalcls fly Is so small as to bo lnvlslblo to the nnked eye. Even the presence of the living larva In the seed Is hnrd to detect except by oppnlng the seeds and exnmlnlng them under n microscope. There Is somo modification, however, of tho shnpe of the seed In which larvae nro feeding. The color, nlso, Is likely to bo darker and the surface less glossy. Tho basis of control work Is to al low no seed pods to develop nnywhero before thoso of the regular seed crop and to leave no Infested pods In fields or around stacks In which the larva or pupa may overwinter. MOVING ARMS ON SCARECROW Contraption Has Proved Quite Effec tive In Frightening Away Birds From Fields. -A scarecrow which, if not very life like, proved effective In frightening away the birds, was provided with, "arms" to be revolved, by the wind. On the end e-f the crossbar were mount ed two sticks of pine, one inch square. To one end of these sticks were fustened disks of bright tin, seven Inches In diameter; the other Tho Scarecrow Waves Its Arms With Great Rapidity Whenever a Slight Wind Blows, and Is Very Effectlvo In Keeping 'Away the Predatory Birds. end was rounded off, nnd a pl 0 of Iron or lend pipe was driven on ns a weight. The holes through these arms wcro placed at tho points found by bnlanclng tho arms after the disk- and pipe weights were applied; tlm- tho slightest breeze would cause tli"in to revolve. They will move somewhat more freely if washers are placed be tween them nnd the crossbar. ylvn nui Van Aken, .Port Ewen, N. V., In Popular Mechanics Magazine. EXCELLENT FOR DAIRY STOCK Silage Should Be Combined With Some Leguminous Feed, Such as Clover or Alfalfa. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) While silage is nn excellent fe-d for dairy stock, It should be combined with somo leguminous feed, sueh ns clover, cowpeas, or alfalfa, owing to Its Insufficient productive quality. Tho leguminous mnterlal will tend to corv rect tho deficiencies of the sllnje In dry matter, nroteln. nnd mineral con stituents. BIG YEAR FOR HONEY According to predictions mAdt by tho department of agriculture at Washington, the beekeeper may look forwnrd confidently to n prosperous season during the coming summer and fall. The department nt Washington re ports thnt tho Increase in tho cost of honey, owing to tho big export demand- created by the war, makes It safe to predict thnt the coming year will sco the greatest effort over made to further beekeeping. During the last half of 1018. honey to tho value of perhaps $2,000,000 was exported. This wns. about ten times tho valua tion for any year before tho beginning of tho war, which In dicates that honey litis censed to bo n luxury lu the minds of tho allied peoples. Tho home demand for honey hns also Increased. ROAD BUILDING DRAINAGE FOR GOOD ROADS Essential Feature of an Improved Highway Another Requisite Is Firm Foundation. (Prepared by tlio United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) An essential feature of an Improved road Is adequafV drainage. Thorough dralnngc Is so necessary that it Is practlcnlly Impossible to mnlntnlnii sat isfactory road unless It bo given prop er attention. Another prime require ment wherever a hard surface road Is to be constructed Is a firm nnd unyield ing foundation. As the qunlity of the soli has nn important Influence on the piopeu method of dralnnge and the type of foundation to be employed, much care and study must be devoted to the nature, type, nnd character of the soils In the section through which It Is pioposcd to build n road, Tho most Important primary soils are classified as gravel, sand, and clay, but often ninny of the secondary or mixed soils, because of their more gen eral occurrence In connection with ood-bulldlng operations, are equally Important. Such types us loam, marl, gumbo, nnd hnrdpan nro representa tive of this order. In the design of a rond the drainage structures arc planned to tako euro of water under three general conditions rnln that falls on a road surface or grado; rain thnt falls on contiguous land and flows in accumulated volume toward the road; and ground water from any Immediate source. To meet these conditions use Is found for spe cial structures, Including longitudinal side ditches, usually parallel, or ap proximately parallel to the center lino: Intercepting ditches to accommodate water whose approach so close to the rondwny ns the side ditches Is likely to cnuso Injury; lateral ditches or cul verts to conduct accumulated water awuy from or under tho rond; and subdralns. In order to plan Intel ligently a systenrof drainage for any particular road, It Is necessary to con- Water Drains Readily From This Typo of Highway. slder not only the local character of the soil composing the roadbed, but nlso the topography of the adjacent land, the amount and rate of rainfall and the availability of material sulf uhle for use In constructing drains. Surface dralnnge systems for roads consist of side ditches along the rond, paved gutters (which are a develop ment of side ditches and replace them) open Intercepting ditches constructed to prevent water from reaching tho road, and Intern! or relief ditches to carry -off the. water which collects In the side ditches or In the Intercepting ditches. Culverts nnd Inclosed drains, which nre constructed for the purpose of removing storm wnter from the side dllches or gutters, are essentially a part of the surface drainage system, and are not fo be confused with sub drains which serve an entirely differ ent purpose. Where the . grade of a road Is so steep thn,t file ordinary earth sldo ditches cannot be maintained satisfac torily at a reasonable cost, or where earth side ditches would be Insanitary or appear unsightly, it Is customary to provide paved gutters for removing the surplus water. Drop Inlets and catch basins nro need to conduct water from side ditch es or gutters Int.") underground drains or culverts. On country roads they are used most frequently on side hill loca tions where tho water collecting In the upper sldo ditch or gutter can bo re moved from the road at Intervals by means of a culvert across to the low er side. Drop Inlets usually are sufTf clout, and catch basins seldom are used In country road work, except where It Ih especially desirable to prevent the silt nnd other foreign mnterlal carried by the water from getting Into the underground drainage structure. GOOD ROADS PREVENT FIRES National Forests Must Be Equipped With Highways, Trails and Look out Stations. National forests cannot be ecenom Ically nnd elllclently protected against fires until they aro well equipped with roads, trails, telephone lines und lookout stations, says the uiinuti re port of the chief forester of the UV.ted .States service.
