Several weeks ago c. c. Bell. of Boonville,
called upon Mr.. Mckinley at Canton, o. and
presented some resolutions urging that thor
ough investigation be made Of the possibilities
Of sugar production from neetS in this country.
At that time the president-elect spoke eneour-
agingly. He said:
If it is feasible, am for it I am in favor OF
whatever will extend our protection and in
crease the employment of our people. Come
and see me after get to Washington
Mr.. Bell went to the White House and re-
called the Canton visit. The president said:
ST think well Of this now as did then. I
want you to go at once to Secretary Wilson and
to say that sent you. Tell him what YOU have
told me-
Mr.. Bell went to the secretary OF agriculture,
who at once called into consultation ]. H. Brig
ham, of Ohio, who is to be assistant secre-
tary Of agriculture. As the result Of the
conference it was decided to make the
desired test during the coming season. Tho
seed must be planted before May !. The Secre-
tary has issued the preliminary orders looking
TO the test He will have prepared full inStruc-
tionS as to planting, and will furnish these in
structions, with seed, to least five farmers in

Use of Anti-Toxin.
The st. Louis board of health has is
Tued circular to physicians of the city,
in which the following concerning anti
toxin is found:
The explanation of anti-toxin and the direc-
tons for its use state that it is furnished from
the blood Of the horse. If kept in a cool place,
away from the light, it will maintain it's
strength unimpaired at least six months 1t is
put up in walls bearing a label. on which is
stamped the number of the horse, the date upon
which the blood was drawn from him, and the
number Of anti-toxin units contained in the
serum.
Anti-toxin should be administered in the early
stages OF the disease The earlier it is admins
tered the more certain and rapid is the effect.
In mild cases 1900 units should be given in the
first "A to SO hours Of the disease. When the
treatment IS begun late in severe cases. the
dose should be from 5000 to 5000 units. If
marked improvement does not follow the first
dose, it should be repeated second and third
time. As a prophylactic in cases of children or
adults that have been exposed to diphtheria 800
TO 500 units will usually be sufncient, and the
immunity thus induced will last from four to
six weeks. The injection should be made into
the loose skin over the abdomen, which should
be thoroughly disinfected.

How to Cure and Smoke Meat for

Much meat lis spoiled by over-salt-
ing. Such meat is hard, dry, salty
and almost indigestible. A writer On
this subject to the Indiana Farmer, a
year or two ago, said: you cant
get meat to take too much salt"
Well, he was away off. You can alb
solutely spoil meat with salt. I have

in the Union. Their developments pl-i-

wonderful, and had that system con

The ravages of war left many of
