ment Of tuberculosis or consumption,
On this statement National Stockman
comments as follows: We think this
statement could not have been made,
or at least unqualified, for in cases
where the disease has been taken at
the outset there have been known some
complete cures. At the post norton
examination of the bodies at the Paris
morgue it has been found that quite
a large per cent of the bodies showed
healed tubercles; that is, the subject
had had the disease but owing to some
change of life the progress of the dis
ease had been arrested and the patient
recovered. The nature of the disease
is such that these cases leave indisput-
able evidence of the facts. The prog
ress of the disease is marked by the
growth of the germs which results in
the breaking down of the tissues, and
in cases where the disease has been
checked it's former presence is marked
by the healed tubercles. The Rural
New Yorker published some time ago
an account of a case where several
! COWS were subjected to the tuberculin
test and showed reaction. Instead Of
being slaughtered they were removed
to a stable where they could have an
abundance of pure air and sunshine
and at the end of year they were
again subjected to the test, but show
ed no traces of reaction, and upon be-
ing slaughtered were found to be who'll
ly cured of the disease. There is as yet
no medicine that win effect cure, but
with either man or beast if the case is
not too far gone an abundance of pure
air and sunshine will often do So The
disease is bad enough as it is, and let
us not take from it one ray of hope
the chance of recovery.

Prof ]. A. Craig says In preparing
lambs for the early market the best
gain to his knowledge Is that made By
three lambs at the New York Cornell
station, which made weekly gain per
head Of 5.36 pounds, extending over q
period Of nine weekg. Another lot Of
three made an average weekly gain Of
G47 pounds per head. extending over
period of twelve weeks. In neither
case, however, is the composition Of
the ration or the amount Of grain re-
ported. The best gain in the writer's
experience at the wisconsin station
has been made by four lambs that were
FED a mixture by weight of four parts
OF bran, four parts Of corn meal and
one part Of hnseed meal When the
experiment started, the lambs were
about three weeks old, and they were
ted for ten weeks on this grain ration,
receiving in addition the milk Of their
mothers. The average weight of each
lamb at the beginning of the expert
ment was 1876 pounds, and at the end,
62.5 pounds, an average weekly gain

In profit were obtained from feeding a
grain mixture consisting of two parts
OF ground wheat and one part of ground
corn by weight. The lambs were about
TOUR and one-half weeks old when the
experiment started, and averaged 26.1
pounds in weight. When the expert
ment ended, fourteen weeks later, they
averaged seventy-seven pounds in
weight, having made an average week
ly gain per head of 1868 pounds. They
each ate 4o.5 pounds of the grain mix
ture in the fourteen weeks, costing 1913
cents. Buyers do not always make
one-third difference for unwashed Mer-

grade of wool received 9h cents per
pound last season. The standard price
for washed fine woods was 1S cents--a
difference of only S15 cents.

the proper method to compel the per-

Relative Protits.-There have been
many ways to estimate profits in farm
ing. So long as the soil retained its
original fertility, the number of acres
that could be planted or sown was the
test of success. 1t is common even vet
in the south to estimate by the team
help that the planter can command
which ranges from one mule upward
But in the northern, and especially in
the eastern states, success in farming
depends not on number of acres, or the
team help, but on how much manure
can be had to use. Many a market
gardener on less than ten acres makes
greater profits than the farmer of a
hundred acres who has not manure to
grow anything except the standard
farm crops. But the market gardener
must be near good market, or the
cost of marketing will destroy it's pro-
