The medical profession really
begins to believe that cancer can be
cured. The cure is effected through
knowledge and microbes. There is a
micrObe for each disease. and the
cancer germ has been already dis.
covered. The first step toward find
ing the cure was the discovery that
il patients affected with cancer were
suddenly taken with certain other
d1seases-as, for instance. erysipelas
the cancer ceased its ravagcs
during the progress of the other
ailment. This was known century
ago. But not till recently was the
cause discerncd through the germ
theory. 1t was found out that the
bacteria of certain diseases were hos
tile to one another and waged war
upon one another in the human
blood when they met. If, then. the
cancer patient is inoculated with the
erysipelas virus, the microbes of the
two diseases attack one another, and
the crysipelas germ destroys the
cancer germ. 1t is claimed that
certain cures Of the dread cancer
have been affected in this way in
New York and in Berlin, Paris and
Vienna.

AN ERRONEOUS IDEA.
Incubation Eggs Need No Moisture but
That OF the Hons Body.

Incubation Eggs Need No Moisture But
That of the Hons Body.
The old and oft-repeated theory that
in natural incubation eggs need more
moisture than that furnished by the
hens body is easily disproved by ex.
perience. An incubating hen does not
need to wander through grass wet with
dew or to be out occasionally in the
rain in order to have good match. A
belated chick will sometimes dry fast
to the shell and needs a dip in warm
water to free it, but that is only be'
cause it is weak and belated. BY way
of experiment, last spring l set seven
hens on ninety-one eggs. They were
set in u room having board floor and
opening into an inclosed shed in which
they were fed and watered and had a
dust bath. They were not outdoors
during the whole hatch. They brought
out seventy-three fine chicks. OF the
remaining eighteen eggs six tested out
infertile. The rest would probably have
hatched, only they were set under 2
foolish hen of uncertain mind who
made botch of the business. The
supply of the proper amount of mois.
ture in artificial incubation and at the
right stage of the hatch is very puz
zling question. There are so many
modifying circumstances to be consid-
cred The tendency at present is
toward less moisture than formerly
and to be applied the last few days OF
the hatch.
If the incubator is run in a cellar less

ground. In some sections of the coun.
try less moisture is required than in
others. Different degrees of moisture
in the atmosphere at time of Matching
must also be considered. Some styles
of incubators require more and some
less moisture. The person who runs
the incubator will need to study ano
experiment for himself. If too much
moisture is given, the chicks will grow
too rapidly and become bound in the
shell If too little, the inner mem.
brane will become tough and dry. II
either case many chicks will die in the
shell during the last few days of incu,
baton. 1t is a very discouaging eX,
perience to find after hatch that per.
haps 30 per cent Of the eggs have dead
chicks fully matured. If this expert,
ence is repeated time and again it be.
comes eXasperating Spraying the eggs

spraying would keep the inner mem,

increased by building higher barn.

the feed racks are marked 1. Give
each sheep 1 Il fect of space ut the feed
rack. Should the barn be filled to its
full capacity, more feed racks would
be needed.
Additional ones can be placed at the
ends of the shed and along the east
and west sides of the barn for the sheep
inside. The feed racks under the sheds
were purposely omitted in the per-
spective as they would have been too
small to give an idea of their construc-
ton. In subsequent issue we will
give one or more plans of racks
which can be used in any barn.

smaller ones above the doors on

Remedy for "Lumnx Jaw"

Secretary RusIl has received from
DIR. Salmon, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, report on the expert
ments and Investigations being made
in Chicago of the treatment of cattle
for actinomycosis, or 'lumpy jaw. "
The report says that the remedy tried
-iodide of potassium-is a remarkable
success, siXty-three per cent. OF the
cattle treated having been cured. The
greater part of these were very Sc
riously affected when taken for treat
ment, The report shows the cost of
the treatment to be trifling by COM
parison with the results, and it is also
proved that the disease is not conta-
gious, twenty-one head of the healthy
cattle having been confined in close
quarters with the diseased cattle for
three months without showing any
signs of being affected
