Attacks Of asthmS NAV be brourht
on by tho most varied and singular
causes; different sorts Of scents, the
cdor Of raspberries, as was the case Of
Claude Bernard; the smell of hay, the
vapor Of . sulphur match that has
just been lighted, the dust from oats
or powdered ipecacuanha. Ono pa
tient will have asthma in tbs North.
but will be free from it in the South;
another will have asthma in Paris.
but will be perfectly well in Vienna;
still another will have the most ter
rihe attacks as long rs he is in Egypt,
but will be relieved as soon Is he gets
70 sea.
1t is generally admitted nowadays
that the attack Of asthma is due TO .
spasm Of tho respiratory muscles, and
that the origin of the trouble is some
stimulation Of the nasal mucous menu
brane. On the other hand it Is also
known that . vigorous stimulation Of
the mucous membrane Of the nose
may put an end to an attack Of asth-
ma; therefore in this purely
phenomenon the same cause NAY
either bring on or put An end to the
attack.
1t is on this popularity that are
based . certain number Of methods
OF treatmens of an attack of asthma,
and the latest born Of these methOds
consists in shifting eau do cologne.
My readers may remember that I
made known to them the process
whereby NJ. Roux of Lyons cuts short
colds in the head and chest Ut their
beginning. IL consists IN having the
patients inhale by the mouth and
nose for about two minutes and about
four or five times q day about fifty
drops Of cologne water. It is now
claimed that the same method will
put an end IN IN -tt-c', ~ asthma.

2. What methods of seeding, Guilt
walton and harvesting have you follow
ed, and with what results?
:. How do you store and how feed
It?
4. To what kind of stock have you

fects to stock from feeding on the Sec

Z. What has been your experience In
feeding the seed?
s. What varieties do you consider the
best for forage and the best adapted for
your region?
The questions are of interest and

Cuts of Beef.

The principal differences in cuts Of
beef as to their food value are in the
proportion Of bone and the relative
amount of water, lean and fat in the
flesh, says the Field and Farm. For in
stance, In different cuts Of q side Of beef
of average fairness we have found the
proportion of bone to range all the
way from 3 per cent in the top to the
sirloin at 40 per cent or more in the
shank. The proportion in the round.
rump and brisket would be from II to
16 per cent, while in the shoulder clod,
ribs and loin 1t would be from 20 to Is
per cent. The proportion of water in
the same materials would range from
Is to % per cent in the flank and
shank, from 80 to 40 per cent in the
rump, ribs and brisket, from 40 to so
per cent In the loin and neck and
would reach nearly so per cent in the
round. The proportion of fat would
be even more variable, being less than
ten per cent in the shank and shoulder
cIod, q little over 10 per cent in the
round, between Is and Is per cent in
the loin socket and neck and from %
to 40 per cent in the ribs and rump.

Latent Fertility.

In the older districts and states O;
our country the question is. How shall
we restore the fertility Of our :ands?'
The question here should be, how shall
we prevent the further depletion OF
ours? for it is much easier to prevent
depletion than to restore fertility when
lost. Luckily for US, nature is very
cautious and conservative in her gifts
to her children. If one generation were
permitted to use up all the plant-food
their inclination might lead them to do.
and thus exhaust the soil entirely. /;
would rob the next generation and be-
come a bar to human existence. Blu,
nature has SO arranged as to give US
timely warning Of decreasing fertility.
and long tefore We arrive at total soil
exhaustion we reach the point Of IN
profitable cultivation, and when we
have cropped u lands till their fer
tility has been reduced to q minimum.
Dame Nature has cautiously kept back
in the great ~storehouse Of the soil
plant-food for generations to come. 1t
Is this resource, thus kept back inert
and unavailable at present, that Is the
saving clause in the construction Of Jul
soils.
