quent even than in that of Austria.
Italy's quota is given at forty-fve, while
that of Russia docs not exceed twenty, q
figure that is obviously far below the
truth Belgium gives its rate at twenty
four, Spain at fourteen, and England at
twenty three, most of the suicides in
the British army occurring out in India.
A remarkable fact is that, nOtwithstanl
ing the ma iority of suicides are popu-
larly believed to be attributable to
tyranny on the part Of the officers, yet
it is precisely among the officers that the
largest number of self inflicted victims
is to be found. The favorite method of
suicide is by shooting, either with
rifle or revolver. Next comes drown
ing, and after that hanging, while of late
a large number of officers and men have
taken their lives by throwing themselves
in front Of railway trains. 1t has also
been noted that, whereas the smallest
number Of suicides takes place in the
winter, the largest number occurs in the
broling hot months IF July and August.

Paper Houses.

The adaptability of paper is regarded
as likely to lead to solution of the
problem of rendering dwellings and
business structures tire-proof 1t is now
found that paper can be made perfectly
fire proof while remaining amenable to
the same treatment in the matter of
color, polishing and handling as most
woods. Such material offers all of the
advantages as an ideal substance for
floors, and it can be used equally we'll
for the walls of buildings. Besides this
it can be used in the finish and furniture
of houses and would unquestionably do
much to reduce the peril of fire, against
which insufficient provision is but too
often taken.

Leland Nlabic, q lad of fourteen years,
while hunting on the divide between the
cast fork of Browns creek and Duncan's
fork of Cottonwood, had a hair breadth
escape Friday of last week. He came
upon two cubs, who were climbing a
tree, and promptly shot and killed them.
lie had no sooner dispatched them when
the mother came rushing out of the brush
near by. 50 sudden and unexpected
was the old bears appearance that young
Mabic did not have time to get his rifle
Ill readiness to fire. Luckily he had
fierce dog with him, who promptly came
to his masters rescue just as the bear was
about to clasp young Leland and hug
him to death. The bear and the dog
had it for time, while the young hunter
stood by and viewed the encounter.
Finally the effect of the dogs teeth on
the launches of the bear had the de-
sired effect and she left the field to the
boy and the dog. Young Nabic took
one of the cubs, which weighed about
sevcnt, five pounds, back with him to
camp, where he was the hero of the day.

Germs and Milk Cows.

Those fortunate people who have "their
own cow have an extra care laid upon
them by their possession. Their milk
cans must be kept in an absolutely per-
feet condition.
They should be washed, scaldcd and
wiped perfectly dry after using. Then
they must be set out in the sun for 10
hours, or if that is impossible, put before
the fire Just before they are used again
they should be washed, sca'ded and dried
again. There is nothing in which germs
develop so rapidly as in milk, and extra
care is necessary to make sure that the
utensils contain no germs. - New York

UTILIZING THE WASTE.

There are many avenues for loss, but
nature endeavOrs to teach economy by
her methods. The most barren soil will
in time, become capable OF producing
some kind of crop, as the slightest
growth of heritage derives plant iced
from the atmosphere which is added to
the soil, and which in TURF permits OF a
larger growth the next season The well
kuown system OF "iaIlowing'' the soil is
based u pom that fact. The land is per-
mitted to rest" and iii few seasons
becomes sufficiently fertile to support a
scanty crop. When the farmer promotes
the increase of fertility, by the use OF
fertilizers, he takes advantage OF nature e
| methods to gain substances from the
free source Of the air, and brings his soil
| to a producing condition muci, sooner
When the land is covered With weeds il
is al Indication that nature is herself
utilizing the plant food OF the soil by
growing crops that are indigenous to the
climate, and is allowing no waste OF
time. The farmer will gain fertility fol
his land If he plows the nitrcger-storing
weeds under, as well as render a larger
portion of the mineral matter of the soil
| soluble.

The Utilization Gf Waste Pro-


Tho vitil,I alton OF products that have
no value in tho market is receiving more
attention at the present day than for
morly, and as there are a great many
substances lost which possess value i'll
some form, their conversion !uto other
products enables the farmer to both save
from waste and to add to his receipts.
When the skim milk and ~hcY from the
creamerias find their way back to the
farm, and at nominal cost, the prices
| obtained for the milk become greater
because of the availability OF these sub
Stances for feeding purposes. The milk
| from dairy herd is sold for lis buttcl
fat, and then returned - Tho farm to h9
used III the production of pork. To fol
| low the process further Is may be stated
that there is also large quantity o
manure resulting, and other waste sub
stances become useful by reason Of The
utilization OF the one. UA large farms

are kept 10 follow the cattle, in order t.
consume the refuse and avoid waste a

USE THE BEST METHODS.

There are by products OF the farms as
we'll as of the factories, and many sub
stances sold from the farms cost almost
nothing because they are produced from
these things which are unstable. The
object should be to use the best methods
of economiziug in the matter. II the
refuse from croameries can he obtained
the raising of swine becomes necessity
If the location permits Of easily obtain
ing the grains of the brewCrics or glu-
cose factories, then cattle will enable
the farmer 10 put those substances to
use, II they do not find their way
directly to the market, they will increase
the value Uf the manure, and eventually
in changed forms, seek ready purchasers
at good prices. The value Of the waste
materials on the farms is nearly as great
as that which is sold but they appear in
SO many ways rs to demand much labor
and care to utilize them, but the oost may
be decreased if the proper method Of
stock raising is practiced, by which every
thing is rendered seGviceable in some
manner.
