VERMIFORM APPENDIX.

Some Important Facts Which Have
Been Discovered Lately.
The veriform appendix is known to
science as a vestigial organ. 1t was
once larger and played an important
part in the digestive operations of the
human system, but, like the tonsils and
wisdom teeth, has fallen into disuse;
hence is imperfectly nourished and
especially liable to disease. The false
potion that appendicitis is caused by
a grapeseed or some foreign substance
finding an entrance to this little organ,
whose interior is only large enough to
admit a small darning needle, has no
foundation in fact. 1t is atrophied by
disuse, and unable to throw off disease
as do the stomach, lungs, heart and
other organs. 1t is composed of
lymphoid tissue, which is lowest in
scale of material in the body. The true
cause of the disease is inflammation and
consequent gangrene in the tissue. Re-
Gently surgeons have found that the re-
moval of the organ is the simplest of
operations. but it should be done within
a few hours after the first symptoms
appear. They are: /. A sudden at
tack, coming on when a patient is, APP
parently, in perfect health. and without
warning. 2. A sharp pain in the CEN
ter of the abdomeA 3. A sore spot,
painful to the touch, located exactly
where the incision must be made. The
appendix is generally. but not always,
found on the right of the abdominal
center. The disease seldom attacks
people except between the ages Of 10
and 30 years. The proportion is so per
cent. males and 20 per cent. females.
1t haa recently been discovered that
in the latter an extra vessel supplies
blood to the appendix, vslich in males
is only nourished from minute veins in
the web that holds it in place.

Use the farm for poultry by giving

as IS done for the cows. and the results
will be satisfactory. Fifty hens on or,q
acre could give at least clear profit
Of one dollar a hen. or fifty dollars TO the

than for larger stock. The fact that SO
few know how to keep large flocks for
