State Question: My cowpeas and soy beans show very little growth and in many spots have died. What is the cause of this and what can I do to correct this trouble? Answer: The cause of the plants failing to show good growth and dy ing in isolated spots is the dry wea ther and the resultant hard soil. The extreme dry weather this year ha 3 caused many crops to fail and some of them to die where the soil was hard. D»e to this condition the roots could not grow deep enough to maintain contact with the lower water table and the crops made poor growth. Question: Will the use of electric lights with my chickens during the fall and winter months give greater egg production? Answer: Much investigational work has been conducted along these lines during recent years and uni formly good results have been Ob tained. The use of lights will in crease the working hours for flock which will bring a greater sumption of feed and a correspcfl ing increase in egg productfl While eggs produced in this are often used for hatching, H practice is not recommended asH chicks will, as a rule, be weak I subject to all poultry ills. Question: At what rate anH what time should nitrate be applied to Chrysanthemums? H Answer: If the soil ia made H tile at the time the plants it is not necessary to apply dltlonal plant food until the buds are formad. When the midn are formed nitrate of soda or 'sul phate, of ammonia may be applied as a top dressing between the rows at the rate of one ounce to each square yard of soil, should be thoroughly worked into the 8011. A light- mulch, one or two Inches thick, of fresh cow manure may also be used. Ir this is used the plants should be watered as soon as the mulch is applied in order to sdak into the soil the available plant food. With the commercial fertilizers, light applications of about one ounce to the sqtiare yard should be made every two or three weeks until the flower buds begin to show color.

Twins occur more frequently la the northern cooler countries than in hotter lands. The percentage of twins born in flwednn in ranch great er than in Italy or Brasil. FAMILY'DOCTOR (By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.) SUNLIGHT The oldeßt subject "under the sun." But how important—and how interesting! Wise the family doctor who knows the useß of the God given elements at his command, within easy reach. Natural sunlight is jUBt right for the human being—and for all life on the earth, animal and vegetable. It is a vital necessity. A dearth of it will produce weak bodies, poor blood, inefficient nerves—a weaken ed race of people. Outdoor dwell ers in rural districts are more hardy and vigorous than inhabitants of crowded cities. Good, bright, yellow sunlight is rich in ultra-violet rays, and here we step into up-to-date stuff. The ultra-violet ray is the agent that con verts the numerous lime salts of our foods, into suitable form for ap propriation by our bodies. Lime, or calcium is an extremely important tonic for blood, muscle and nerves. It is invaluable for the breathing apparatus, and is supreme in main taining the alkaline balance in the body. It prevents acid destruction of vital organs, such as the kidneys. Sunlight is the principal factor in bringing about the marvelous changes, so necessary to bodily vig or; it doesn't cost anything if you live in its vicinity, and are free to get about in it. In mountain regions, the nearer approach to the sun gives a much greater volume of violet-ray. In lower levels the air is more polluted with dust, smoke, and other out side matters, which diminish the actinic effect of the rays. Artificial instruments have been invented, whereby the doctor may administer sun-rays to patients in winter and cloudy times, when out door absorption is impossible.
