These well-known fact* have led to the establishment all over the country of what are known aa Infant welfare and milk stations. These stations are rooms In charge of trained nurses and physicians. to which any mother who desires may bring her baby for help and advice In

his care.

The object of these welfare stations Is to keep the babies wen. and to prevent Illness by watching the babies closely . md by teaching the mothers how to take rare of them.

These station* are sometimes mainu'ned by the city and sometimes by a frtv^te society. The mother can find out the location of the station near*t her home from the papers, or by iiQBtiir.g of the health officer. T}* baby is weighed at each visit, and claused tq'see If he needs any special care. If so. the doctor explains this to the mother. ' r he baby should be brought hack to the station at regular Intervals In order that tho doctor and nurse xan wateh him. In this way much of the Illness from which babies suffer ran bo prevented and mothers and babies spared a great deal of suffering. The mothe- who la expecting the birth of a baby should go to the station about once a month during her preganacy for advice about herself. The doctor and nurse win fell her what food Is best for her lo eat, how to take rare of the breasts and nipples. and help her to prepare for the baby's coming In the best way. If she Is suffering from any aliment, such aa vomiting, varicose reins, headache or swollen feet, she may learn what to do tor these troublea, and If she desires tv go lo a hospital for the birth the station doctor will probably be able to arrange the matter for her. After the baby Is born and the mother Is up again, she may. If she chooses, send word to the station nurse, who will come to sec her. now and then, until the mother Is able to take the baby to the station again. Mother, who are III or worn out with the burdens of home, may find In a visit rith the baby to such a station unexpected help In their problems Some effort Is made to teach mothers the rudiments of domestic science In the home, when this la needed. Mothers especially who go out to work by the day, should try to send the baby to tho station by a caretaker, for such babies need the welfare sUtion'a help even more than others. If some member of the family ts pick other than the baby and the b«by Is registered at the station, the nur*ei ud doctors there wilt usually bo able to advise bet whore ud how to sock astaunce. These Infant welfare stations are Intended fur the use of al! mothers In th« neighborhood who need help In the care of their babies, and no one needing It. should fall to avail herself of this opportunity.

In a drainage system (Fig. 2) where tho length of a line of tile exceeds 800 or 1,000 feet, the site of the tile ,1 the lower end should be increased. In many inatanoos each line of tile Is made to empty Into an open ditch. This saves the expense and work of laying the main tile. However, the difficulty of keeping so many openings free fro* / obstruction la usually so great that It pays better to combine the water from all drains into a single main, having hut one opening. In using this system the lines of tile should of course, run with the slope of the land, rather than across

In an experiment, where no farm manure was need, the average yearly return from the land itself was 83.75 per acre, while 87 waa the return from ton of limestone and *2.65 from 50C pounds of phosphate. In order to reduce the labor Involved. the limestone and phosphate are actually applied In larger amounts at less frequent Intervals; but thus far the rates of application have been of limestone and 500 pounds of phosphate per acre for each year, although, after the toil is sufficiently enriched, one-half cr one-third these amounts will provide for maintenance. The principles of permanent Improvement for most soil types are al ready well established. They Induds the use of g-ound limestone for c-T reeling soli and for enrichment In cal cium; the utilization of atmospheric nitrogen by proper use of legume crops, the application of phosphorus most soils and the liberation of pot ash L-om the Inexhaustible supply al ready contained in all normal aotls On some soils -dolomltlc limestone should be used in order to provide both magnesium and calcium; and on certain abnormal soils, such si swamp muck and residual sand, potas alum must also be^pplled. The location and character of the various soil types are established by the surveys and analyses, and the soil experiment fields help to determine the best order of application of the

materials needed.
