SPRING FEVER.

The question, like the spring poem, is
very pertinent. In the first place
spring fever is not a fever at all,
Just as catching cold is not catching a
cold, but getting fever in part of the
system. The condition called spring fever
is produced by the withdrawal of the
stimulating atmosphere of winter and
the oncoming of higher atmospheric
temperature before we have adapted our
clothing to the season and before the
skin and the individual become accli-
mated. There is maladjustment of the
entire individual-his skin organs and
clothing to his changed environment.
He is made uncomfortable by the sudden
change in climate.
In the spring more or less malaria gets
into the human system. 1t comes from
the interstices of the ground, which,
having been closed by frost. are again re-
opened. This impairs the blood to some
extent and affects the nervous system
producing aches, pains and debility
Persons experiencing these discomforts
in spring should have a care for theiI
health, for spring fever in its extreme
stage often develops rheumatism and ma
laria.
It used to be the custom for people &c
take spring medicine, usually physic
and sassafras tea has not vet gone out o
fashion. 1t has long been a common idei
that the blood ought to thin in spring
time, and that sassafras tea and physic
were the proper things to use. There i
no particular harm in sassafras, cream o
tartar and sulphur; in moderation the,
really do some good, but the wiser cours
is to consult physician and give him
chance to cure mere ailment before
becomes steady illness. The changing
of the seasons is a time of trial to delicat
constitutions.
There is very little sentiment in a.
attack of spring fever. The truth OF l
is that people who have it are not quit
we'll.

BREEDING ANIMALS.

In selecting breeding animals get
ewes and bucks of the kind that pro-
duce early maturity mutton, so as to
get into market early with lambs and
matured sheep. A noted authority
says: ''The sheep industry of this coun-
try has not yet arrived at point where
it becomes necessary to breed princi-
pally for wool, but producers should
first get the best mutton producing
qualities thoroughly bred into their
focks or bands, bringing the standard
up to half or three-quarter grade, af-
ter which it will be safe to breed for
wool without materially disturbing the
band as mutton producing animals"
