TOBACCO BEING CUT.
Crop Reported Very Good-Corn
Wants Three Weeks TO Be Safe.

The weekly crop bulletin says that
liberal and we'll distributed rains oc-
Cured during the carly part of the
week. In few localities the rains
were accompanied by hail and high
winds which did some damage to to-
bacco and corn. Generally, corn has
been greatly benefited by the rains,
especially in the western counties,
and the reports now indicate that the
crop In that section will be fair
average. In the extreme northwest
ern section of the state the crop will
be materially shortened by drought
during July. The cool weather dur
ing the early part Of the week re-
tarded the maturity Of the crop to
some extent, but with the higher tenn
perature during the past few days
rapid advancement has been made.
From three to four weeks will be re

In the northern section in Burnett

threshing was commenced the first of
the week. The ground Is too dry for
ploughlng. In Langlade county no
rain has fallen during the week. Po-
tatoes Look we'll but the yield is rather
small. Corn will be safe from frost
by September Is.
la the middle sec ion the poughlng
for fall grain is now In progress and
some sowing has been done. Po-
tatocs are large but the yield is rather
small. In Clark county rye and win

far. The oat and corn crops have
been injured by hail. EARLY potatoes
are poor In Dunn county grain Is
turning out spleadidly and of excel

In the southern section farmers
have finished stacking and have
commenced ploughing for fall grain
Potatoes and corn are progressing
rapidly In Dane county tobacco Is

INFECTION BY THIRD PERSONS.
Little Danger and Unnecessary Fuss
Made by Health Officers.

Is all this fuss about infection by
third persons necessary? The teach
ing of experience Almost uniformly ad-
mits that infection can be carried by
means of fomites, and that if doc
tor sits upon a patients bed, and rubs
his head against him in listening to
his lungs, or gets his hands soiled
with infectious material while in
specting his throat, and then straigt-
way goes and rubs himself against
another patient, he may carry the
disease. But suppose he does not do
these things, and that he prope. ly
washes his hands-that is. the parts
that have actually touched the patient
all experience goes to show that this
infection by third persons is a mere
bugbear. 1t is perfectly well known
that in general hospitals which re-
ceive infectious diseases, and in which,
even If these are placed in separate
wards. the doctors and the students
pass direct from one ward to anoth er,
any diffusion Of the disease through
out the house is of the rarest possible
NuIICACS. WAIIC, We WOulu och, INV
often is it not the case that medical
men take their own children with
them on their rounds without any
harm resulting? One of the most
eminent of the physicians practicing in
London used to take his children with
him in his carriage when he visited
the fever hospital, and either leave
them at the door or let them play in
the garden till he came out, when
soaked with infection, as some people
would say-he would get into the car
riage and drive away with them.
Did they catch scarlet fever? Not at
all. Let us put to one side all this
dread and fear Of infection by
third persons. Such a thing may
happen now and then, but it is not
thus that infection Is ordinarily
spread, unless, perhaps, We make an
exception in favor of varicella and Of
small pox in unvaccinated communal
ties.
We speak thus plainly because medi-
cal men and especially medical officers
of health, have shown themselves all
too ready to encourage what we be-
lieve to be totally unnecessary re-
strictions of ordinary work of Laily
life. But If such a mode of spread
ing is only of occasional occurrence,
do not let us pass silly laws. We
may perhaps best judge Of the mannar
in which laws to regulate the move
ments of casual visitors" to cases Of
scarlet fever would operate by recall
ing the very patent fact that the med
ical man is exactly such a casual Wis
itor. Already people are to be found
who are quite ready to attribute their
illness to infection carried by the doc
tor, and we may imagine the endless
actions at law which would be hurled
at his devoted head if such prejudices
were crystallized into form by legis-
lative enactments. London Hospital.

RHUBARB AS A MEDICINE.
The Proper Way to Prepare the Plant
to Suit the Doctors.

Now that so many physicians are
prescribing stewed rhubarb as q steady
breakfast dish for patients who suffer
from liver troubles, indigestion and
facial eruptions in which such disor-
ders of the stomach are apt to mani
fest themselves, it may be well to re-
mind the housewives that rhubarh,
having little flavor of its own, readily
assimilates the taste of anything
which is cooked with it, and that thus
the medicinal dish may be varied in
many ways. A few slices OF lemon
seasons it most agreeably, two or
three oranges cut up, peel and all, in
to twice as many pounds of rhubarb,
make fair imitation of orange mar
malade, while half rhubarb and half
pineapple, chopped and stewed togeth-
er, will easily pass for all pineapple,
says the Chicago Times Herald. In
deed, it is a well-known fact that
English jelly and jam makers con-
stantly use rhubarb in their manu-
facture in quantities Of from one
fourth to one-half, according to the
fruit which the rhubarb is intended TO
supplement. This admiXture in no
way interferes with the toothsome
ness. while it rather increases the
wholesomeness of the product.
