Physical Endurance.

1t should be impressed upon all young
persons that during life each member
of the body, in the very act of living,
produces poison to itself, notes writer
in Popular Science Monthly. When this
poison accumulates faster than it can be
eliminated, which always occurs unless
the muscle has an interval of rest, then
will come fatigue, which is only anoth-
er expression for toxic infection. If the
muscle is given an interval of rest, SO
that the cell can give off its waste prod
uct to keep pace with the new produc-
tions, the muscle will then liberate en-
ergy for long time. This latter condi-
ton is what we call endurance.
The power and endurance of the hui
man machine is limited according to
our understanding of the above facts
and also our recognition of its slowness
i'll getting started. Like any other pom
derous and intricate machine, the body
requires time to get in harmonious
working order. The brain, nerves, heart
and skeletal muscles must be given
some warning of the work they are ex-
pected collectively to perform. Igno-
rance of this fact has broken down many
a young man who aspired to honors on
the cinder path.
The necessity of getting all the parts
of the body slowly in working order is
well understood by trainers and jockeys
on the race track, as is evidenced by the
preliminary warming up" they give
their horses, although it is doubtful if
the trainers could give any physiologic
reason for this custom.

RananasIn Typhoid Fever,

After long experience with typhoid
PATIENTS DIR. Ussery of St. Louis main
tains that the best food for them is the
banana. He explains by stating that in
this disease the lining membrane of the
small intestines becomes intensely in
famed and engorged, eventually begin
ming to slough away in spots, leaving
we'll defined ulcers, at which places the
intestinal walls become dangerously
thin.
Now, solid food, if taken into the
stomach, is likely to produce perforation
of the intestines, dire results naturally
following, and, this being the case,
solid foods or those containing large
amount of innutritious substances are
to be avoided as dangerous.
But the banana, though it may be
classed as solid food, containing as it
does some 95 per cent nutrition, does
not possess sufficient waste to irritate
the sore spots. Nearly the whole amount
taken into the stomach is absorbed, Civ
ing the patient more strength than can
be obtained from other food. -Ameri

COLORADO BRED JERSEY LADY WASHINGTON.

have. What show is there for man
trying to make money with cows that
will not yield over $50 pounds of but.
ter year, and that butter worth only
10 cents a pound, after the cost of max
ing is taken out at the creamery? If he
makes up his own butter. he is no bet
ter off, for he loses in price what he
saves in cost of making.
Thousands of farmers are looking this
question in the face, "How shall we
get better cows?' There is just one
way, and only one way we can answer
this question with success and profit to
ourselves. We must breed them. And
to breed better COWS we must breed
from dairy blood. We cannot hope to
make better cows by breeding from beef
blood or general purpose blood or
scrub blood. There are no better milk
returns in bulls of that sort. If we want
to go to any place. we must face that
way.
The sooner these cowkeepers, with
poor, improbable COWS face toward a
registered bull of some one of the four
dairy breeds, the quicker will this
pain in the pocket" subside. As it is,
they are wasting the years of life as
they go by in vain endeavor to get
something out of nothing, trying to
get good cows by breeding to scrub
bulls. No man on earth ever saw i'm
provement come in this way.
There are many dairy people who are
breeding better cows. conspicuous among
whom is Mrs M. S. Lockwood of Long
mont, Colo. One of her favorite animals
is Lady Washington, Colorado Jersey,
now years old, and it is claimed by
the Denver Field and Farm that she
made 81 pounds of butter in seven days
when in her 2-year-old form. She has
the necessary machinery for working up
large quantities of feed-a strong jaw
and big barrel-and her general out
line shows that she will probably turn
what remains after satisfying the de-
mands for maintenance into milk rather
than meat or body fat. Evidently she
has not beef temperament, neither
does she come up to Professor Shaw's
standard for dual purpose COW. She
has the upcurving flank, the thin in
curving thigh and the rising pelvic arch.
There are prominent milk veins and a
we'll formed but not large udder.

Going without SIeep.

1t is an interesting question to studi-
GUS people how long a man can go
without sleep. A physician asserts that
no healthy man can overwork because
eventually nature will compel him to
fall asleep at his task. A journalist re-
Gently claimed to have worked 70 hours
without sleeping. Humboldt said that
when a young man he required only
two hours sleep each night. but that in
his old age he found he really needed
as many as three or four. Victims SUBJ
jected to the Chinese torture of being
kept continually awake die ON or before
the fifth day. By far the most inspiring
example, however, is that of one of the
saints, who is related to have lived 10
years without sleep and to have remain
ed standing large portion of that time.

STERiLIzING SKIMMILK.
dow Millions of Dollars Are Wasted
Every Year.

dow MILLIONS OF Dollars Are wasted
Every Year.
In an article in The Creamery Jour-
nal John M. Larsen says:
Why is it that the progressive cream
ery man and farmer in this great, rising
dairy country of ours permit tremen-
dous losses annually without the least
attempt to stop them? Where are those
losses?" some may ask, because they
don't think there can be any losses pro-
viding they get all the butter fat ex-
tracted and properly manufactured.
They do not stop to think and reason
what tremendous value the skimmilk
from all those thousands of creameries
through the United States represents.
providing it is properly handled and
utilized. How much of the skim
milk reaches the farmers home in
good, fresh condition, fitted to derive
from it all-its good qualities as food
product? There is, alas, but very little,
If any, that reaches the farm in fair
shape, most of it being sour by the time
it reaches the farm and great deal of
it before getting that far. "Well, how
will we remedy it?' some will ask. The
farmer doesn't even bring his whole
milk to the creamery in any too good
shape.
"What shall we do to send back to
each farmer good, p ire skimmilk?" the
creamery men will ask. The best answer
to that question is this. What does Den
mark do? Go and do likewise In Dem
mark they first preserve cleanliness, and
next they pasteurize their skimmilk,
and have done so for Is to 20 years.
They do not think that any way of pas
teurizing skimmilk is good enough. No,
they know better and think that only
the best machine, no matter what the
price is, is the only one to use, and
therefore you will find that of all the
machines used in first class Danish
creamery of good capacity the highest
priced machine in the whole creamery
with the possible exception of their ice
,szs---.---z1Es@l is their skimmilk pasteurizer
and cooler. They pay more money for
that purpose than they pay for new
separator.
Doesn't that show conclusively that
they think the skimmilk is worth pre-
serving when they find it policy to pay
more money for machine to preserve
the skimmilk with than they pay for
any other one machine in the factory
But there the farmers get milk back
that is absolutely clean and sweet. Sc
that they use it on their own tables and
for cooking purposes. That very same
milk is fine food for calves, together
with little meal, and it will remain
sweet several days. The farmer knows
that such milk is of great value to
him. The continued feeding of this milk
would bring him in good sum during
the year, and he would have to quit the
business if he was delivered such milk
as the American farmer gets. The
American creamery man deceives him
self by saving fe-s hundred dollars in
first cost and leN1ng great values go to
Wsste The ones that first start to rem.
edy this evil will be blessing to the

see the day when the creamery business

Fodder Corn.

If fodder corn is drilled some time in
May, as it should be. the early days of
September will see it at it's best either
for soiling or for cured corn or for the
silo, says American Cultivator. But a
great deal of fodder corn is put in the
ground so late that it needs every day
of hot sun to make it ready to cut be-
fore frost cuts it. Many people seem to
think that because grain is not expected
from fodder corn all that is needed is
to get the greatest bulk. But it is quail
ity, not quantity, that counts in every
thing. The smaller yields of our North
ern Flint cornstalks cost less labor and
give about as much nutriment as the
larger but less mature Dent corn when
both are planted or drilled at the same
time

A mountain of sulphur.

The "Soufriere," or sulphurous
mountain, is considered to be the great
est natural curiosity of st. Lucia, and,
in fact, of the West Indies. It is stu
ated about half an hours ride from the
town of Soufriere, to which it has given
its name, and nearly two miles to the
east of the Pitons, and is at the foot of
two small hills, both of which are
quite bare of vegetation on the sides
facing the crater.
It covers space of about three acres
and is crusted over with sulphur and
alum. There are several caldrons in a
perpetual state of ebullition. The water
is quite black in the larger ones and
boils up to the height of two or three
feet, but in the smaller ones it is quite
clear.
Visitors never fail to boil some eggs
in one of the smaller caldrons, obtain
ing them from one of the creole guides,
who keep supply on hand OH purpose.
