COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation and elling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
cATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them /; hence
the loss of smell. TheCatarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnatcs the
whcle mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medica!
works show cases where the tonslls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves thewhole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds OF the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

immature that will accomplish this result.

lleved that adulteratlon, sOphistiCatiOn,
imitation and mlsbranding of foods,
drugs and liquors exists to a very great
extent. Many of the States have enacted
laws to prevent such practices, and 1t is
very desirable to know how these laws
have been enforced, and with what re-
suits.
AS the general public is largely inter-
ested in this matter, as it affects health,
morals and legitimate trade, it Is thought
proper to ask the cooperation Of the
press in securing accurate information
on the subject. The publication OF a
simple request for information on this
subject, to be furnished the paper ask
ing it, or sent direct to the Chemical Di-
vision of the Department Of Agriculture,
will in all probability secure a large
amount Of valuable data which will ma
terlally assist in carrying out the work.
AS no matter can be Of more Importance
to the people Of the United States than
that the extent and character of the
adulteration of foods and drugs sold
them, | take the liberty Of asking your
cooperation in the work as herein indi-
Gated. Please state that the department
simply desires a concise statement OF
facts, which can be fully substantiated
If necessary, and not theories.

Every additional requirement limits
choice. It is vastly more difficult to
secure high standard Of excellence with
six such points than it is with three.
In5i5tence ON having animals "abso-
lutely pure" in breed or family has
done much to prevent general introduc-
tiOn Of practically pure-bred stock. Con-
vince young farmer that an animal
should not be used for breeding pur-
poses because 1t has one siXty-fourth
of an questionable cross, and he has
large excuse for becoming disgusted.
Admission to registry Of good animals,
with a reasonable number of crosses Of
pure blood is an incentive to breeding
up and for the best interests of improved
stock breeding.
Records showing excellence by trial
or by awards at exhibitions, have great
value-if the conditions under which the
trials or awards were made are fully
understood and found to be satisfactory.
A record of a performance under un-
usual conditions or Of price bestowed
by an incompetent judge or over in
feriOr animals has little value
There have been serious mistakes in
attempting to produce "all purpose"
animals.
1t is equally true that there have been
serious mistakes in Over-specialization
of purpose or Of breeds. There are desir-
able characteristics which it is impossi-
BILE to combine in one animal. There are
others which are in no sense antagO-
nistic. The best demand, in the sense
of that which gives the highest prices,
is for the special purpose animal; the
largest demand is for animals fitted for
more than one use. Development Of any
purpose to the point of lessening vitality
or tolerating serious defects in other re-
spects often costs more than it is worth.

Instructions Relating to Purchase Of Gov
ernment Publications,

The laws relating to the publication
and distribution of public documents
were amended by the act of January
IL, 1895. Section 67 of that act provides
that "all documents at present remaining
in charge of the several executive de-
partments, bureaus and Offices Of the
government not required for official use
shall be delivered to the superintendent
of Documents, and hereafter all public
documents accumulating in said depart
ments, bureaus and Offices not needed
for official use shall be annually turned
over to the Superintendent Of Documents
for distribution or SALE"
Demands on the departments for doc
uments are far beyond their ability to
supply, and for that reason Mr. Secre-
tary Wilson, of the Department of Ag-
ricuIture, has published a letter of in
structiOn for the information Of such
persons as may have occasion to need it.
Under the provisions of the law above
cited legitimate method is provided by
which copies of publications of this de-
partment, aside from those indicated by
law for free distribution, can be obtained
at a minimum cost. Applicants Of such
publications are, therefore, referred to
the Superintendent of Documents, Union
building, Washington, D.. c.. who is pre-
pared to supply them at the low price
fixed by the Public Printer, in accord
ance with the above law.
The monthly list of publications is
sued by the department will be mailed
the first of each month to every person
expressing a desire to receive the same.
This list in addition to the titles of the
several publications issued, briefly in
dlcates the nature of the contents of
each, with the prices of those which are
to be procured from the Superintendent
Of Documents.
BY request of that officer applicants
for these publications are informed that
he cannot receive postage stamps or per-
sonal checks in payment therefor. All
remittances made to him by express or
postoftice order should be made payable
simply to Superintendent of DOcu-
ments," and mailed to him addressed

Mistakes in Breeding.

ulbbdhoo Al DLOOuAhS'
The following excellent suggestions are
taken from an address by Professor Nor
row, delivered at Columbus, o.:
The only sufficient reason for dwelling
on mistakes of the past or present is
that recalling them to mind may help us
avoid them in the future. American
stock breeders have learned useful les
sons. There Is more general reliance
by the best breeders on individual eX-
celIence and less reliance on ancestry;
more recognition Of merit in other
breeds; less fetish-like worship OF fam
lily or fancy characteristics; less Of at
tempts to unduly initiate prices. But
while there are many indications OF
gradual improvement in the near flu
ture for the stock breeding interests,
many have broken up their herds or
flocks and are not in position to be ben
Gifted by this improved conditional
great mistake on their part
Clearly a multitude of farmers made
a serious mistake in not taking adVan-
tage of the depression in prices for we'll
bred stock. The rearing or feeding OF
live stock will continue to have a large
place on the majority Of farms in the
central West. Good stock, wisely pur-
chased and handled, is more profitable
than poor, but the majority Of farmers
are less disposed to buy good breeding
stock at phenOmenally low prices than
they were when prices were perhaps
unduly high. One cannot fail to deplore
the mistakes so commonly made OF
breeding without definite plan, or that
of using sires Of different breeds or types
simply because they are available or are
highly praised.
Special or professional breeders have
often made the mistake of selecting
breeds because Of an existing or pros
pective "boOm," with little regard to
climatic or other adaptations. For the
prosperity Of the industry there have
been quite too many 'plungers" in the
ranks of fine stock breeders.
Extravagant praise of one breed or
family, and extravagant depreciation of
others, has been too common and dis
astrOus mistake. Comparatively few
| farmers believed the first, and those who
| did were disgusted when they learned
the facts, while very many accepted the
| Unjust CTIllCISulS DIS SuluClGuI LSdSOA LOl
not trying any of the improved breeds.
1t may seem unnecessary to now point
out the mistake of making pedigree a
substitute for individual merit, but this
is still being done. There are breeds in
which prices for certain animals of GER
tain families are two to ten times as
high as those for equally good animals
of other families And there are still
breeders who seem to think that good
pedigrees will maintain excellence with
out good care and persistent selection.
The exaltatiOn of minor or purely
fancy" points is mistake, the evil
results of which ought to have been thor
oughly learned. The color craze" is
perhaps the most striking illustration.
Minor points have their importance as
means of attesting purity of breeding,
but they should never outweigh practi-
cally important points, and their multi
plication should always be discouraged

MRS. COLGATE DRUaaED.
Her Servant Missing with a Let or Jewels and
Clothing.

Mrs. Martha M. Colgate. widow of a distant
relative Of the late Samuel Colgate. wal robbed
by her servant on Monday afternoon. Mrs.
Colgate lives with her daughter on the second
floor Of the house at 60 South Washington
square. Miss Colgate works in a Sixth avenue
dry goods store. Two weeks ago she hired q
girl, who gave her name as Mabel Price. to assist
her mother in the homework. OF late Mrs.
Colgate has been Ill. When her daughter re-
turned home from business on Monday she found
her mother sound asleep, an unusual thing. She
shook her for several minutes before she sue
ceeded IL arousing her. When she was finally
awakened Mrs. Colgate complained of a bad
headache. The last thing she remembered was
taking some medicine from the servant.
When Miss Colgate went to look for the scr.
yant she could find no trace Of her. The girl
had left the house and a little investigation
showed that when she went she took with her q
watch, some small bits OF ~jewelry. and several
dresses belonging to Mrs. Colgate.
The police were notified, and, after hearing the
story. they concluded that Mrs. Colgate had
been drugged. The Colgates do not believe
this. but they want Miss Price arrested for lar.
ceny. and the police are now trying to find the
