CLEANLINESS IN SURGERY.
The Cardinal Precepts of the Science OF
Operating In the Present Day.

The Cardinal Precepts of the Science of
Operating in the Present Day.
There are three locations, SO to speak
The absolute cleanliness of which must
be above suspicion before the operator
is justified in proceeding to his work.
These are the surgeons hands, his in
struments, and the integument cover
ing the part of the patients body at
which the operation is about to be per.
formed. How is the requisite cleanli.
ness in each case secured? So far as
the hands are concerned, by profuse
scrubbing with a nail brush in SOAP
and hot water, followed by thorough
drenching in some antiseptic solution.
as that of one in two thousand of per-
chloride of mercury; so far as The in.
struments are concerned, by sterilizing
them, that is, by boiling them in water.
or by passing them through the flame
OF spirit lamp, or placing them in
steam sterilizer, and then, when the
operator is ready to begin, by putting
them into a receptacle containing an
antiseptic solution, as, for example,
that of carbolic acid. Lastly, so far as
the patients in.egument is concerned,
by washing the part first thoroughly
with soap and water, having previously
shaved it if necessary, and afterward
with a perchloride of mercury solution.
or, If the part be greasy, by removing
all the greasy material by scrubbing it
with ether.
Without going into further details,
these are the cardinal preeepts of the
science of operating in the present day.
Of course, each wound which in this
manner is made under aseptic condi-
tlons, as it is called, is kept aseptic by
the use of antiseptic dressings until heal
ing has taken place. The results of this
method of treatment of wounds are
nothing less than wonderful in compari-
son with those which the earlier sur
geons were able to obtain What hap
pens after, say, the amputation of a
limb, nowadays? The rule is-nothinp.
Nothing, that is to say, beyond the un-
eventful convalescence of the patient
The dressings are not touched unless
the temperature and the pulse of the
patient indicate, by some disturbance.
that it would be expedient to examine
the wound. The temperature and the
pulse are the surgeons guide; he takes
his cue from them. Nothing can be
amiss in the wound if these remain
normal, and thus it follows that a large
wound, such as that following an am
putation, heals soundly from first to
last, without any suppuration. What
a contrast with that which obtained in
former daVSi Summation yvaS +bo,
thought to be an indispensable part of
the healthy process of healing. In the
present time, on the contrary, a surgeon
is held to have failed in his practice of
the principles of surgical cleanliness if.
In wounds originally aseptic, suppura-
ton occurs. Nineteenth Century,

Importance of Drainage.

Soils needing drainage can neve,
make maximum yield in crops, even
when fertilizers are applied literally
Natures rule is drainage first and ma
nure afterward. Many folks appear to
be afraid of using spade for ditching,
and persons who are already located
where the highest success imagined
could be achieved by proper drainage
are grumbling at their situation in life
and vainly hoping for something bet
ter, while they do not exert themselves.
1t should not be necessary to say that
where system of drainage has been
begun and its effects observed, more
work in the same line has been done
almost invariably, as if the practice
were contagious. The same is true
with that wealthy relative Of drainage,

which better grasses refuse. 1t grows
from six to ten inches high in dense
perennial-rooted tufts, Towering in
June and July.
Hard fescue grass is often regarded
as a variety of sleeps fescue, being,
however, taller and with more open
panicle. 1t will thrive on poor, sandy
soil, endures drought well and is much
liked by all classes of stock.
Red fescue, like the two preceding,
Is invaluable on dry, hard and sandy
soils. The essential distinction of this
festue is its creeping roots, which are
often as strong as the common couch
grass. The other varieties of the fes-
cue family are of small value and but
little known in this country N. Y.

THE FARMING WORLD.
THE FESCUE FAMILY.

Valuable Grasses for Permanent Meadows
and Pastures.
There are Il good many varieties of
the fescue grasses, the commonest and
most valuable being the meadow fes-
cue, a highly valuable species for per-
manent grass land. For this purpose
1t is ordinarily sown in mixture with
other grasses.
Meadow fescue is relished by live
stock both in hay and pasture. Itdoes
not, however, attain to it's full produc-
tive power until the second or third
year, when it exceeds most other sorts
in the quantity of its product and its
nutritive matter.
Tall fescue grass is very similar to
meadow fescue, and is said by some to
be identical with it. 1t succeeds best
in moist, alluvial and strong clay soils,
and In shady ravines; on moist, rocky
sea coasts it is most valuable pasture
grass. Cattle are very fond of it. Tall
fescue ripens a fortnight later than
meadow fescue.
Festuca ovina, or sleeps fescue, is a
very valuable grass for upland or
rocky pastures. 1t is deep-rooted and
not affected by severe drought. Sheep
are exceedingly fond of it, and it is
very nutritious. 1t will occupy land
