Why Plants Should not be Kept
in Bedrooms by Night.

About one-half the dry weight of
plants is carbon, and this ia all oh
tanned from the carbon dioXide-or
carbonic acid-of the air, which con-
stitutes only 1904, or 1-2500 of its vol
ume. 1t Was once scientifically, and
Is still popularity, believed that plants,
in respiration, reverse the process OF
animals, that Is, that they iDhale car
bonlc acid and exhale oxygen. 1t is
quite true that vegetation, as a resul-
tant of its processes OF life, does Evolve
oxygen and absorb carbon diOXide; but
this is not in consequence of respira-
ton. Plants, like animals, iD hale oxy-
gen, and yield up to the air a nearly
equal volume of carbon dioxide; this
chemical decomposition is performed
by all the growing cells, and at ali
times alike. In addition to this. the
chlorophyl cells have TIE property, un-
der cOntrOliii.s iua.A al sunlight, of
absorbing carS, Il u. X lie from the out
side air, of 'uposing it into its con-
stituent elements, of prOpriating
tie carbon for the building up Of It's
sue, anu of liberating the now free
oxygen. This is process OF assimila-
ton rather than OF respiration. The
formation of carbon dioxide at the ex-
pense of the atmospheric oxygen, like
our breathing, goes on continuously
and gently. while the reverse, process,
analogous 10 the feeding of animal life,
though continuous and powerful un-
der the influence of light, ceases in
stanu when that is withdrawn. Du-
ring The day, the assimilative rro-
cess by which carbon is absorbed and
oxygen liberated is so powerful as to
mask completely the gentler process
oi breathing; but at night, when as
eimilation ceases, respiration may be
easily detected. For this reason plants
by day purify, and by night vitiate the
air. a number of experiments made
by the French scientist, BoussiBgault,
prove that, as a final result of vegeta-
ton, far more oxygen is liberated than
is consumed.-Mrs.S S. B. Herrick, in
Scribner for February.

A correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer writes as follows from Cham.
psign county, ILL.,: "Since the coming
of the iour or five snow storms of this
and last month the hogs in this county
have been coughing more or less, and
the cholera takes on the form of quick
consumption, of which, in majority
of cases, hogs die in few days. As
suming the disease 70 he consump-
tion, where cure is possible, the best
medicines will be found to be new
milk, fresh raw beef, or horse flesh,
fed as supplement to the regulated
corn diet, shelter and dry bedding,
and two grains of quinine given daily.
thus parOdying in the case Of swine
sick of consumption the treatment and
most successful ways and means adopt
ed for the cure OF consumptive patients
cod liver oil, raw beef and warm
