Lake Huron,s Casualties.

DETROIT, Oct. 16-It is believed that the schooner Aunt Ruth, which left Alpena last Monday, has been lost. Nothing has been heard of her since she left port. She carried a crew of five men and was owned by C. Bonney of Port Huron. The storm on the lakes was by far the worst of the year, all the ports being filled with vessels that put in for shelter The crew of the tug Acme, which foundered in Lake Huron about 25 miles from the river. were saved by the coolness and bravery of the crew of the tug Reliance just as the leaking boat sank.

Petroleum for Diphtheria.

In the village of Neuville- Champ
dOisel, about nine miles from Rouen,
France, malignant type of diphtheria
broke out last year. The country
doctor, NJ. Frederic Flahaut, treated
the cases in the usual way, but the
deaths were numerous. Remembering,
as he says, that the English use petro-
leum as an anti-spasmodic and an anti
septic, he determined to try it as an
experiment.
His first trial was in the case of a
little girl seven years ofd.' He had al.
ready given her up and proposed to
the parents to make the experiment,
which consisted in swabbing the throat
with common petroleum. He had
little hope of the success of his new
method, but to his astonishment he
noticed an improvement after the first
application. He continued the treat.
ment and the child recovered. Then
he tried it successfully with his other
patients.
This year he had forty cases of diph-
liberia to treat, and he was successful
In every one. In order to be perfectly
sure that the cases in question were
ones of malignant diphtheria, he had
the eXpectorated matter submitted to
the analysis of Professor Francois Hue
of the Rouen College of Medicine,
and the professor reported that he
had clearly discovered the presence in
1t of numerous baccilli of diphtheria.
Moreover, his diagnosis was confirmed
by Drs. Leshaves, Lerefrit and Bailey
Of Rouen, the last named being the
physician -in-chief in that city.
The treatment presents little diff
Guilty or danger. The swabbing is
done every hour or every two hours,
according to the thickness of the mem
branes, which become, as it were,
diluted under the action of the petro-
leum. The brush, after being dipped
IN the petroleum, should be shaken to
prevent any drops falling into the
respiratory channels. The patients
experience relief from the very first
application. The disagrecable taste
of the petroleum remains for few
moments only.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Never jerk or whip colt.
Old-fashioned perennials are coming
in again.
All weak queenless colonies should
be united with others.
Pure cane sugar is one of the best
foods for wintering bees.
If honey is not sealed it is liable to
become thin and watery.
1t is q mistaken notion that all
honey which candies is pure.
Now is the time to barrel the road
dust and keep it in dry place.
1t is best not to winter your own
cockerels for breeders, as a rule.
BY increasing the yield per acre the
cost of production is diminished.
The number of eggs depends largely
upon the amount of feed and care given.
In raising colt the feed should be
liberal and varied, but not excessive.
colts education should begin
when the animal is twentyfour hours
old
The second year hen only lays
half the number of eggs that she does
the first year.
The ideal diet for poultry should be
neither too soft nor too hard, but
happy medium.
New raspberry canes should be
pinched back to induce throwing out
side branches.
When the cat and chickens lie down
together the latter are always given
the inside place.
Because turkeys are good foragers it
will not pay to let them go without
proper feeding.
One pound of cut meat and bone is
considered the proper daily allowance
for sixteen hens.
Anything in the vegetable line, pro-
vided it is sweet and clean, will form
accepta BILE food.
Colts should be handled with kind
ness and may be halter broken when
four months old.
Bran for chicks should always be
scalded and allowed to stand for
time in order to soften.
Ounces do we'll in either sandy or
clay soils, the principal requirements
being fertility and good tilth.
Generally, the smaller the farm the
better the cultivation and the greater
the profit for the expenditure.
Pigs should be taught to eat before
being weaned, SO as to make the
change from milk to feed easily.
1t is not desirable to give too much
red pepper and ginger to the poultry.
Once or twice week is sufficient.
A good breed is not alone sufficient
to make money. Good care, good
food and good quarters are also neces-
sary.
1t is cheaper to make your stables
warm than it is to supply your horses
with the extra feed necessary to keep
out the cold occasioned by cracks in
the stable.
For horses ensilage should be used
sparingly, as full feeding upon it
sometimes induces collie, but it may
be safely used to some extent in con-
nection with grain and hay.

Superiority of American Fruit.

On the subject of fruit growing in
America, Mr.. de Vilmorin, famous
French pomologist, said at is evil
dent that much attention is being
given. and with handsome pecuniary
results, to the growing of fruit in this
country, but more especially in the
State of California. The display of
fruit at the Worlds Fair after August
and continuing to the close of the Ex
position was probably the finest and
most extensive and varied that was
ever brought together. | find that q
great deal of attention is being given
to the subject in each State, not only
by private independent growers, but
by the local horticultural and agricul-
tural organizations, and by the aid of
the experimental stations supported
by the different States and by the Ma
tional Government. Through this sys-
tematIc organization comparative
study of the fruit developed and the
adaptability of particular varieties to
particular States and sections of the
country are intelligently determined.
With this study of the influence of To-
cal conditions is associated investiga
tion rs to the particular insects most
destructive to different species, and
much knowledge is gained of n valua-
BILE nature with regard to fungus dis
eases, so that fruit-growers are famil-
lar with all the recent appliances
which science has discovered to aid
them against their enemies. In con-
clusion, l may say that more attention
seems to be paid and to better pur-
pose to fruit-growing i'll this country
than in most European countries. The
apples, peaches and grapes exhibited
by the different States at the Worlds
Fair and renewed by daily contribu-
tions from exhibitors, was one of tho
striking features of the conduct of
that department. Large consignments
of fruit were sent every morning from
different States, SO that the specimens
should be kept fresh all the time, and
their display gave, not only proofs of
successful cultivation, but of enter
prise and organization which it would
not be possible to match in any other
part of the world - New York

Best Diet for COnsumptives.

The respiration apparatus invented
by Professor Volt, of Germany, and
recently received by the Yale Medical
School, is the first to come to America.
It's purpose is to measure the oxygen
absorbed by the body and the carbonic
acid and water given off. From the
data thus obtained the decomposition
of the body can be determined, and
the decomposition caused by the di-
gestion of various kinds of foods COM
pared.
Animals will be used for the first
experiment. They will be placed in
glass cases after having been fed on
particular kinds of food, and the vari-
alton in the oxygen, carbonic acid and
water within the glass cases in twenty
four hours will be determined by
means of the apparatus. From this
relative values of the foods will be OBJ
tanned.
1t is hoped that the experiments will
result in the selection of diets that will
prolong the lives of those suffering
from consumption and other diseases.

THE RICHEST AWARD.

ROYAL baking Powder has - ~s-
Honors-In Strength and Value %
per cent. above its Nearest Com-
petitOr:
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingre-
dients, most perfectly combined
wherever exhibited in competition with
others. In the exhibitions of former
years, at the Centennial, at Paris,
Vienna and Mt the various State and
Industrial fairs, where it has been ex-
hibited, judges have invariably award
ed the Royal Baking Powder the high
est honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
animation for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist of the Agricultural Depart
raent at Washington. The chief chem
lists official report of the tests of the
baking powders, which was made for
the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, shows the leaven-
ing strength of the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
highest in strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average of
Ill. The Royal, therefore, was found
of twenty per cent. greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and forty-four per cent. above the
average of all the other tests. It's
superiority in other respects, however,
in the quality of the food it makes as
to tineness, delicacy and wholesome
ness, could not be measured by fig
ares.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex-
ceed the sale of all other baking pow
ders combined

A Frontier Ranch,

In 1882 An American cowboy which
was Jack--accompanied by two COM
panions, penetrated south from Ari-
zona, and as he looked from the noun
tains over the fair plain of Bavicora,
he said, "I will take this" The
Apaches were on every hand; the
country was terrorized to the gates of
chihuahua. The stout heart of the
pioneer was not disturbed, and he
made his word good. By purchase he
acquired the plain, and so much more
that you could not ride round it in two
weeks. He moved in with his hardy
punchers, and fixed up Bavicora so it
would be habitable. He chased the
Indians off his ranch whenever he "cut
their sign" After while the Mexi-
can vaqueros from below overcame
their terror, when they saw the Ameri-
can hold his own with the Apache
scamps, and by twos and threes and
half-dozens they came up to take SER
vice, and now there are two hundred
who lean on Jack and call him patron.
They work for him, and they follow
him on the Apache trail, knowing he
will never run away, believing in his
beneticence and trusting to his cour-
age.

BUTTER BACTERIUM.

So far as the quantity of the butter
is concerned, says Walter Thorp in
London Dairy, our old friend, the lac
ticacid bacterium, seems to be the
chief if not the only agent, but it does
not seem to be directly concerned IN
the production of the butter flavor.
Out of the many bacteria occurring Ill
ripening cream Storch found only one
species which was capable of produc-
ing the true butter aroma; the rest
produced either indifferent or bad
favors. Since only this single species
from among so many is capable of Civ
ing to the butter such flavor as we
desire, the odds against its overcrowd-
ing the rest are very considerable, and
we cannot wonder at the difficulties of
producing n high-class butter of uni
formly agreeable flavor. IT by culti-
walton of the bacterium, which Is said
to produce the true flavor, we can iu-
sure the success of our cream ripening
as far as flavor is concerned by inocu-
lation with this particular bacterium
at an early stage, then we ought to be
able to produce cream of uniform
and proper degree of ripeness without
difficulty.
The bacterium found by Storch has
been cultivated and used i'll some of
the German creameries. and 1t is
claimed for it that it insures certainty
in the results of the ripening. DR.. Ii.

Fishes That Fight.

SO aggressive is the plakat, a little
fish from Siam, that the entertainment
it affords has become National
pastime, but not n very creditable one,
to say the least. The fishes are trained
to go through regular battles, and are
reared artifcally for the purpose,
while the license to exhibit them to
the general public is farmed out, and
brings large amount of money INTO
the royal Golfers.
They are kept in aquariums built for
the purpose, and fed upon the Larvae
of mosquitoes and every possible care
taken of them. Several years ago Il
few of them were presented to Eng
lish gentleman by the King of Siam
When the fish is i'll quiet state, with
the fins at rest, the dull colors are not
at all remarkable. But If two are
brought together or within sight of
each other, or even if one sees its own
image in a looking glass, the little
creature becomes suddenly excited.
The fins are raised and the whole
body shines with metallic lustre and
colors of dazzling beauty, while the
protecting gill membrane, waving like
black frill round the throat, makes
grotesque the general appearance. In
this state of irritation it makes re-
peated darts at its real or reflected an
tagonist. If, now, two are placed
together in tank they rush at each
other with the utmost fury. The bat
tie is kept on until one is killed or put
to fight, but not until they are en-
tirely separated does the victor shut
his gaudy fins, that, like flags of war,
are never lowered until peace has been
declared.
In South America there is n small
fish that not only attacks its fellows OF
the sea and river, but is greatly dreaded
by the natives, who, during certain
seasons, have to ford the streams in
which the carbites is found. Bathers
are often attacked by them, the sharp,
chisel-shaped teeth taking bit from
the flesh wherever they attack. They
are perfect scavengers, eating the ami
mails that float down the river. Pitts

Rise and Fall of Clipper Ships.

Clipper ships were first built in 1910,
at the time when English steamships
were beginning to take business away
from the Yankee packets. The latter
had been the rulers of the seas from
the establishment of the Black Ball line
in 1916. That was just after Uncle
Sans rights on the high seas had been
vindicated by the outcome of the War
of 1912. The first clippers were built
for speed, regardless of carrying ca
pacity, but were not very profitable,
because of their small freight and their
structural weakness.
They were called into being by the
demands of the California trade, and
i'll 1851 the secret of building swift
ships that were also stanch and ca
pacious was solved by the Challenge,
the Invincible, the Comet and the
Swordtish These vessels were of enor-
nous size for those days, the Challenge
being OF a300 tons, and their appear
ance was beautiful in the extreme.
The arrival in the Port of New York of
II clipper that had won repute as u fast
sailer always excited the widest and
most patriotic enthusiasm. She caused
corresponding emotions of chagrin
when she touched at British ports.
Nor was the advantage altogether SEN
timental, for the swift Yankee ships
could command much higher freights
than slow British vessels, $50 ton
freight being readily paid to American
shippers from China to Liverpool,
while $40 was thought enough for En-
glish masters Had it not been for the
fact that the English were first to use
iron in building steamships, and the
destructive work of the Alabama during
the Civil War, America might yet be SUI
preme on the wave. New York Times.

THE CARE OF SEED POTATOES.

THE CARE OF SEED POTATOES.
Successful growers of potatoes have
learned that to insure good crop the
seed must be selected carefully the
previous fall. The beA results come
from making the hills as they are dug,
choosing well-formed potatoes, free
from scab or prongs and with smooth
surfaces. Neither the very large nor
very small potatoes should be taken.
The first will be misshapen, and the
last will be apt to be poorly ripened.
Something depends on how the potato
has been grown. If the vines kept
healthy until the crop of tubers was
fully ripened, the very smallest make
good seed. After selection the main
point is to keep the seed at as low a
temperature as possible without dan
ger of frost. These conditions are best
secured by keeping potatoes in dry out
of doors pits. In our Northern cli-
mate after the covering of the pit has
frozen over it will not thaw out again
all winter. If there is danger of thaw-
ing too early, n covering of straw will
maintain an even degree of tempera-
ture below freezing, while protecting
the potatoes from too much cold. The
tubers will come out with eyes as dor
mant as when they were put in the pit.
The potatoes will be harder by evapo-
ration of their moisture, while those
kept in cellars will be made soft by
starting of the eyes, which rapidly
take out the substance needed to give
the potato set its first start after being
planted. Boston Cultivator.
