Artificial Rubber.

M. Berthelot, the noted French
scientist, is attempting to produce,
artifcially, rubber. The cynthetic
chemist first reduces natural products,
such as minerals, oils, waters &C., to
their elements, and then endeavors to
recombine them to their original
form, improving on nature by omit
ting all impurities. In this line of in
vestigation the French chemists have
produced artificial diamonds, sap
phires and rubies that deceived the
expert. Now they are turning their
attention to some of the more impor-
tant raw materials entering into man.
ufacturing articles. M. Berthelot
predicts that he will produce purer
and better gum than can be found
in Paris, and will produce it more
cheaply. New York k-Telsgram.

SMALL POTATOES FOR SEED.

The small potatoes are az good for
seed as the large ones, and much more
economical, as three bushels Of them
will plant an acre of land and twenty
bushels will be needed for the same
of large ones. The perfect ripeness
of the seed is the main point, and each
seed should be cut as if they were
large. In grating one takes no
thought of the size of the bud nor in
the roofing of cuttings, and seed po-
tato is essentially cutting. And as
the small potatoes are unstable it is
an economy to make this use of them.
The majority of experiments in grow
ing potatoes have shown no important
difference in yield of small or large
seed. New York Times.

Care Of the Ears.

A prominent physician says that
more than half of the ear troubles
from which people suffer during the
cold weather can be traced to the
habit of picking at the ears with the
finger nails or hair pins or some other
hard substance, which irritates the
delicate inside of the ear. Instead Of
this injurious picking" the ears
should be washed out with warm wa
ter and little good soap, and
thoroughly dried after the operation.
If the ears are sensitive, a little cot
ton may be put in before going into
the open air, though this is apt to
make them even more sensitive. In
extremely cold weather, before ven-
turing out, good way to clean the
ears is to wrap the corner of a towel
around the finger, and with little
cold cream carefully wipe out the
auricle. 1t will remove every particle
of dust and will really protect the
ears from the cold, but it can scarcely
be recommended for regular use.

succeed in keeping COWS poor IN f1esh
simply by starving them, while only a
generous feeder can make them too
fat. While generous feeding is a
necessity with good and profitable
dairying, yet the condition precedent
for profit is that the COW should
apply her excess of feed to milk
and not to fat making. The first
thing, of course, in getting up good
herd is to have large mixers, and they
should be persistent, long mixers and
also rich mixers, but such COWS will
not be profitable mixers if they get
too fat. Such cows waste lots Of their
food in making fat, and should be
turned over where they belong. AS
rule fat COWS will not give rich milk,
because the fat of the food goes to the
body instead of the pail. The proof
of this, however, must not be taken
from the looks of things alone, but
same kind of test like the Babcock
must be used. For instance, there is
no more common mistake than to sup
pose that COWS giving very yellow milk
are extra good butter makers. There
is no more common delusion than
to think that yellow color goes
with richness in milk. Now, the
fact is, that yellow milk contains
no more, if as much butter fat as
white milk. Appearances are often
deceptive in this line. Cows with yell
ow skins are no better for butter
making than those with white skins,
common belief to the contrary, not
withstanding. was once principal
performer in same interesting expert
ments in this line. We classified the
Jerseys in herd, picking out the
skinned and yellow mixers.
and pitted them against the white
skinned and white mixers. The whites
made more cream. Yellow skins and
yellow milk generally go together.
Guernseys have more yellow skins
than Jerseys, but do not give more
cream or make so much butter. Rich
ness is race of individual character.

Electricity for the Face.

ELECTRICITY" says Professor Shoe
maker, in the Medical News, sis pecu-
liarly qualified to improve the nutri-
ton and promote the functions of tho
skin, because it acts directly upon tho
part affected, and also indirectly
through the system at large.
"The topical application of electri-
city stimulates the capillary circula-
ton through the integument and over
comes any engagement that may ex-
ist. 1t awakens the activity of the
absorbent vessels, and enables them
to remove morbid deposits.
''It acts favorably upon the nerve
fibres and their peripheral termina-
tions. and exerts beneficial influence
upon the cells By its tonic influence
upon the heart, blood vessels and gen.
eral circulation, electricity tends to
maintain the normal type of nutrition
in the skin as we'll as in other tissues. "
