Sanitary Influence Of Trees

The London Medical Examiner as serts that the value of trees. in a sani tary point of view, in large and over crowded cities, can scarcely be over-es. Apart from the sense of re- lief and coolness which they impart, their influence as purifiers of the at is almost incredible. It has been calculated that a good-sized elm, plane or lime tree will produce 700, 900 leaves, having united area of 200 900 square feet. The competent authority above quoted proceeds tO show that not only do the leaves absorb deletri- ous gases, but they eXhale cxygen. They must, therefore. be of immense benefit Tn over crowded and unhealthy districts When t0 this it IS added hat trees modify temperature. promot ing coolness in summer and warmth in winter; also that they purify the snii below as we'll as the atmosphere above, we have a very powerful sanitary ar

Interesting to Wool Growers.

Many farmers have been annoyed when selling their wool, to find that the acute and praciIced eye of he wool buyer had detected the fact that his sh CD had been allowed 10 run down in condition at sOrle time during the growing of the fleece. They are half inclined 10 think that the buyer is merely irving 10 depreciate the cost
 AS 8 matter of fact, there is nothing which renders wool so useless for cer- lain kinds of manufacture as uneven ness or break in continuity of the thick. ness of the fibre; and there is no de feet more common, and nothing that rle- by year toucLes the sheep grower
 averely in the pocket Howev- ,--s ss'Ud he wool in other respects, the keen eye of the buyer singles out the defective wool and down goes the price of it. And it is not mere fancy that regulates the prices, for the uneven wool will break at the weak places during the first process of manufac- ture. Some persons suppose this Une-i YenneSs of fleece Is hereditary in cer- tam animals, and unevcnness might be- made hereditary ts 2 neratons of ill- usage and neglect But as the wool of an entire flock is found To be uneven one year and not SD another. il shows that management has more to do with it than descent Ii sheep are allow ed to get into a low condition, are neglect ed, underfed, or not properly attended 10, the pores of the skin will cnntract.. and the wool that issues will be of very fine fibre. As soon as the animal re-. covers vigorous condition, the pores again open and longer and stronger. tibre- grows. The wool is thus weaker m one place than in places on each side or II, and breaks at the weak place on ;he slightest strain.
