The vaccination of animals, according
to the plan suggested by the eminent
French savant, NJ. Pasteur. in order to
protect them against rlnderpest ana
other diseases, has been tried in British
Burmah with great success. Some
calves, elephants, sheep and pig were
inoculated with NJ. Pasteur's lymph,
and. though they suffered in no way
from the experiment., the calves IN par.
ticular seem to have been SO far proof
from further infection that they es-
capped scot-free when placed several
times amongst herds severely affected
by rinderpest.

VERY effective notices are made by
cutting letters from pasteboard and
then cutting strips OF white waddlng a
very little wider than the letters: Take
white thread and tack the wadding up
on the letters. taking care to keep the
stitches IL the center OF the wadd1Dg.
Now take your needle and divide the
waddIng, taking half. and turn the
edge over towards the center 50 that 1t
will hide the stitches. Turn it over on
both sides and then rub your finger
over 1t to make it fluffy. Fasten the
letters o.. the BACKGROUND of black, and
your letters stand out like letters OF
snow. A pretty way to fix them for a
church is TO get some man to make a
rough frame SIX or eight inches wide.
The size of the frame will depend on
the motto. Cover with white cloth or
paper, and fasten sprfys of evergreen
on it. Stretch black paper cambric,
with the unglazed side out, and fasten
1t on The back of the frame and then
fasten on the letters.

OUR conclusions must De, says Pro-
fessor Richardson, that corn can supp, Y
itself with nitrogen under varied cir.
cunstanceS, but that it rarely Is able to
asslmilaie more than a certain amount.
nor Will it fail far below the amount.
The bushels Of crop may vary and the
size OF the gram, but the quantity o!
album ito Gs Is practically unchangeable
Under these circumstances it is perhaps
needless to say that tL ere is but Sill ht
VARIATION In composition between differ
ent kinds OF corn. Red Dent is shght-
ly Inferior, but the remaining var.e les
are practically OF the same composiiior,
Sugar corn Is, however, quite distinct
from the field or hard corus. Its aver
age composition, compared with the
average OF all hard cOrns, shows a much
higher percentage of oil and somewhat
higher ash, fibre and albuminoids. The
grain dries out mere than the field corn,
and weighs less.
