The Elimination of Consumption.

The Dlm1nuti0n Of Consumption.
DR.. Arthur Ransomc, in drawing a
parallel between tuberculosis and lep-
rosy, says that there are many. points
Of similarity between them, and he is
inclined to believe, from a study Of
their morphology, that they are identi-
cal In character, and that their bacilli
are notifications Of one species altered
by their environment. Isr. RansOme,
however, does not regard the disease as
absolutely identical, but thinks they
are so fur alike as to make it permissi-
BILE from a study of the decline of one
complaint and its causes to attempt to
CLEAN some idea of the most hopeful
means of diminishing the other; and
that it is possible to SO further and
prophesy that as one disease. leprosy,
has disappeared, to a great extent,
bercle. may also be made to vanish,
and that from a recognition of its pre-
dlsposing use we may learn in
what way it may best be attacked and
finally driven from civilized communi-
ties. He shows that leprosy was ban
ished mainly through general sanitary
measures, and was scarcely affected
by direct effort at preventing contag-
ion. He considers, therefore, that it is
only necessary to press forward the
general sanitary measures, the efficacy
of which is becoming recognized BY
laymen as well as the medical profess
sion, in order that 1--WE may regard as
no Utopian dream the forecaSt that
after a few more years we may see the
total extinction Of tubercle in our
land" DR.. Ransome publishes a chart
showing that the rate Of the occur
renee Of tubercrlo sis per 10000 of the
population is only one-third Of what it
was fifty years ago. He argues that II
phthisis We're to continue to diminish
at the same rate for another thirty
years, it would then have entirely dis
appeared.

The time has arrived when a more
efficient system than . that generally
adopted for the transportation Of bi-
cycles must be adopted. A simple
method is now proposed whereby a
large number Of wheels can be packed
in a small space. The method is pc
culiarly adaptable to the carrying of
wheels in railway cars. The machines
near the floor are placed in metal sup
ports which keep the wheels in line,
and are held in an upright position by
means Of holders Oh the wall, which
engage the ear wheel. On the upper
tier the rear wheel is engaged by wires
which hold the supports i n place. Sin
gle systems for three wheels, or double
systems for six wheels can be arranged
along a wall space. Double sections
can be run lengthwise of rooms away
from walls, thereby greatly increasing
the storage capacity. For use i'll bag
gage cars each support is provided
with an attachment to prevent the hi
cycle being thrown out of position by
sudden starting or stopping Of the
train. Each support can he instantly
and entirely removed from its support
ing position and placed in a rack over
head out of the way, SO that the space
can be used for trunks or other form
Of baggage. The system is claimed to
be valuable for not only railway cars,
but also for the wheel room Of bicycle
factories. riding schools, clubs, col
leges, schools, churches and public
buildings of all kinds. The economy of
space it gives is such that a room &C
c%ommodating fifty bicycles in ordinary
holders or racks can he made to store
safely and conveniently $50 bicycles.
The difficulty of carrying wheels III
trolley cars has been overcome III
many places by the fixing of hooks OF
the top and sides of the car. Where
this practice obtains it is no unusua,

SCIENTIFIC s-HEEP-RAIsING.
Method of Making shcep-Raising
Profitable.

Method Of Making Shcep-Raisfng
Profitable.
MI. George Mc1Nerrow, the we'll
known agricultu: list of Wisconsin. In a
recent address, gave in a nutshell the
whole method of making sheep proGta-
be. He said:
We get the most profit If we sell II
sheep before they are a year old. If l
were started to breed with the object
Of mutton-production in view, l would
not 60 to some breeder aud pay him
$50 and $40 per head for pure-bred reg
istered ewes. 1 would start with the
best common ewes l could buy in the
country Mt a reasonable price and,
with q good, pure-brcd sire, would
raise up O flock in a few years which
would be just Us good for practical
purposes as pure-bredS. But you must
start in with O clear idea Of the line
you intend to follow. Iii caring for
our sheep we must use judgment, COUP
led with liberal feeding. In the sum-
mer they must have plenty of pasture,
which will be best not to be over n
and a half or two inches high, and
the flock should be changed often from
n pasture to another. They should
have access to water. and salt ut all
times. Late in the summer or early in
the fall is the critical time in the
sheep business, because it is the wean-
ing time, when our lambs must receive
no setback. To yea lambs, put them
in good pasture with one or two old
sheep Us leaders. Put in some grain
tr0ughs; don't feed too much grain; a
quarter of a pound of cats is plenty to
commence with. When the Geld rains
OF the fall come, be careful to house
your sheep. Don't allow them to de-
pend upon the frozen grasses of the
fall; ii you do, the wool will stop its
growth, and the next season you will
find q weak place in that wool, and
your 1leeces will run from two to four
pounds less than il you had kept them
in good shape, and they will not be as
strong and we'll as if properly fed. In
the winter be sure that you have a va
riety of feed of the proper kinds. Clo-
yer hay is excellent; well cured corn
fodder or oat straw is good. Ensilage
in many places is taking the place Of
roots and giving good satisfaction
when properly fed. In feeding, don't
spread out your hay or fodder; too
much is wasted that way. Have a
rack to feed in, and don't give them
any more than tl.ey will eat up pretty
clean. Feed regularly the same guam
tity and at the same time every day.
Give your flock plenty Of exercise, es-
l.. pecially the breeding ewes. Without
exercise the lamb crop will not he sat
isfactory. In housing your sheep, we
don't want war ID quarters for them.
In building sheep houses or barns,
there are two points to keep in view.
One is to have them we'll ventilated,
and another is to have them free from
draughts, so the wind don't blow in
directly on tile flock. 1t is all right to
have 1t open on one side. Have it SO
plenty of sunshine can get into it; fac
ing the south, If possible"
