HEAT AS An ANrISErTiC.
Valuable Curative Properties Thnt
Medical Men Are Slow to Realize.

An eminent surgeon has been experiment.
ing upon certain classes of wounds and in
surgical operations, with view to testing
the efficacy of heat as an antiseptic, says
the New York Ledger. One of mis- methods
is to touch the exposed surface with bits of
absorbent cotton dipped in boiling water
He finds that the healing process is greatly
facilitated by this application. and that
too. without the cumbersome and expensive
apparatus necessary for ordinary chemical
antiseptics
Attention is also called to the importance
of properly cleansing all Instruments used
for any purpose whatsoever. 1t is not
enough that they be dipped in some anti
septic solution and wiped with a bit of cot
ton waste, as is too often the case 1t is
recommended that vessel Of boiling water
be kept at hand. and that alf Instruments be
put in this and allowed to remain until
, thoroughly heated The water must be kept
at boiling heat by means of an aic>hol or
other lamp, else there is no of dipping
the instruments at all. There is too much
carelessnesS I'm the cleaning of all such ap-
pliances. and many deaths are unquestion-
ably -traceable to this cause.
There is quite too little attention given TO
the curative properties of heat. The subject
has begun to attract the notice OF some of
the more advanced thinkers of medical
men. 1t is declared that a high degree of
be brought to a crisis. one author asserts
that Obstinate ulcers, even of long stand
ing, and wounds that refuse to heal. may
be brought irlro'active conditions and speed
lily made healthy by packing the affected
parts with hot water bottles or bags. Over
3 the immediate open surface n pad of lint.
made slightly damp with glycerine and wa
ter is placed. This must be constantly
watched and renewed often as it be-
ct1ncs filled with the discharged matter
which it speedily takes Up. The heat in
dtices activity and increases circulation and
the pad takes up the poisonous emanations
as they accumulate.
1t is a positively demon strated fact that
intense heat steadily applied will break up
any case of pneumonia in the earlier or
middle stages, and there are many who do
not believe that a fatal termination to this
disease is at an necessary unless there are
other complications. Simple dry heat is too
easy OF application and too unscientic for
the ordinary medical man. 1t will, there
fore, probably never be possible to make
this favorite form of treatment.

PAGERS GROWING IN FAVOR.

The increasing popularity of the PAGER is

great change from the condition of things
but few years ago. Then the taste of the

fashionable to decry and discourage them
New most drivers want at least one PAGER
ard many Of them prefer PAGERS 10 trotters
1t IS. said that the preference to trotters
which SO largely prevailed was due to a
col siderable measure to the influence of
Robert Bonner. This may be true. but we
believe the preference for the trOtter is one
of much more antiquity than this fact
would, taken by itself indicate. 1t would
scarcely have been possible for any one man
in this country to have formed the national
taste. We believe that the more proba BILE
cause of this preference was the fact that
When the present system of harness racing
was inaugulated in the east trotting horses
were found in greater abundance and were,
therefore, used in great numbers on the
track.
The preference for one gait rather than,
the other is largely matter of individual
taste 1T used TO be said that the PAGERS.
would not stay in these races. This has
been discovered to be a mistake. Doubt
less, the old-fashioned plug horses that
paced with their bodies instead of their
legs were not horses of remarkable stamina
But there has been almost as great trotting
performers, as well as others, pacing bred,
that have all the race horse quality pos

affects stamina, the pacing. gait should be

BEAVER FARMING IN DAhOTA.
a lniquc md Profita ble Industry Car
rie<i On in vke NOrthwest.

The Industry and -sagacity of the beaver
have often been commented upon But
those qualities have NOT prevented this
animal from being looked upon as a fair
object of capture. says the New York
Ledger. hts fur is valuable ana. therefore
1t is much sought after by trappers StiIl,
II may surprise some people TO know that
in one part OF this country at least there
are men who raise beavers for the market
just as they might do corn or cattle 1t is
in Mclean. county. North Dakota that
beaver farming is largely carried on The
soil Is very poor and. is net adapted as arr,
other parts of the state, to wheat growing
The Missouri river runs along the western
border Qfy the country. and numerous
streams How INTO Ii from among the hills
to the nerlh and cast. - Cpttanwoods ana
elm trees grow on the banks of these
streams. and IL is there ,whs1e the beaver
farms are situated. A man who intends TO
start this industry purchases, say ten acres
or land through which a stream runs A
dam Is built at a point where the stream
Is narrow and the banks are steep All
that is needed~is to fell a few trees across
the bed OF the stream and fill in with dirt
and stones. This holds the water back so
that two or three acres Of land are Hooded
thus forming a pond. The next thing to be
Done is to erect a fence Of wire netting
from two. to- three II feet. high, along the
banks of the stream and around the pond.
lnciosing all the trees that can possibly
be taken in.
Generally a colony Of from twelve TO six
teen beavers is put on the farm. They are
or course, obtained from ira ppers They
ere placed in the pond in the spring ana
soon become accustomed to their surround
lngs- In few days they begin 40 build
their huts OF mud and sticks and 10 show
their housekeeping abilities on the trees
There Is no return from the outlay The first
year, but by. the fall OF .he second year the
colony has largely Increased IN numbers
and the farmer looks forward TO having a
regular income. 1t is on the last day ~
October or on the frsl day of November
that the harvest. so to speak. begins First
the ponds are drawn OF by means of flood
gates that are covered with wire netting 10
prevent the animals from slipping through
Inc houses OF the beavers are thus left eN
posed and the farmer goes from one 10 the
other, tapping on them with a club Reay-
ers are readily frightened. and the noise
causes them to run our. They can only
move slowly and are soon caught and dis
patched. The beayers which formed the
original colony are spared. and then the
noodgates are closed and the pond is tllei
again. The beaver skins are dried nv
pared and taken 20 market, the fur being
used In the manufacture OF coats and canes
and trimming garments for women. A pnod
deal of beaver fur goes to China Uhera N
is made Tito shoes fo- women who can AZ
ford the luxury.
