INFANT AT THIRTY.
Mental md Physical development of
Philadelphia Girl Arrested in
Her second Year.

Living with her parents at thirty
seventh and Aspen streets in Philadel-
phfa is Mary Henry, a woman OF 80
years. yet still an infant in mental and
physical development. She is bright
and sweet tempered, but cannot talk,
neither can she walk, but she sits upon
little high chair and smiles at her
/ brothers and sisters, who, while
younger than she, yet look upon her as
the baby of the family. They play with
her and see that her toys-the same
toys of bnbyhood-are near at hand to
amuse her while they are away. And
she is not hard to amuse, for she sits
and watches her mother, busy at her
housework, and smiles in return when
the mother stops a moment to coo at
her.
The doctors call the arrested devel-
opment with which Mary is afflicted
cretinism. When Mary was one year old
she was just the same as her brothers
and sisters, who are now sturdy grown
ups, were at that period of their exist
ence. She had added another year be-
fore her watchful parents noticed
hating in her growth, mentally and
physically. Doctors were called in and
consulted, but none had knowledge
which would start again the growth of
brain and fiber in the little one. For
years it was the same in the Henry fam
ily Noted physicians saw the child and
cudgeled their brains, but that was all.
Father and mother finally tired of this
and for some time only the family ply
stefan has visited the little woman.
DR.. Prendergast, the family physi-
clan, says cretinism follows the malde-
velopment or the total absence of the
thyroid gland. Years ago there was
thought to be no cure for this, but now
DIR. Prendergast says injections of an
imal thyroid have been found of value
in stimulating the growth of the same
gland in human beings. But this must
be done before the patient is five years
of age, so the discovery is of little good
to the little Henry girl Another fea-
ture of interest TO the medical world
in this case is Mary Henry's age. There
are no records to show that any child
similarly afflicted survived beyond its
twentieth year.

IN INTEREST OF AGRICULTURE
TOUR Of Special Agent of Government
Through Countries of Southern
Europe and the Sahara

Mr.. Walter T. Swingle, special agent
of the agricultural department, has re-
turned from an is months tour of the
countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean sea, made in the interest of the
department. During this time Mr.
SwlngIe visited France, Spain, Greece,
Italy and Turkey and the Algerian
provinces in Africa, penetrating the
desert of Sahara. He obtained and for
warded to the department a large va
riety of seeds and plants, and also made
careful notes upon the method of cult
walton and harvesting. He found many
plants and vegetables which he thinks
will prove adaptable to the southern
portion of the United States, including
the arid southwest, where irrigation is
necessary.

PROFIT IN DAIRY COWS.
Dairy Cow and Some Figures
to Results.

At a farmers institute in Michigan
last winter the speaker sent bv the
state. Mr.. c. c. Libbie, stated that a
good COW was one which would give
her owner an income of 500 wear,
with butter not more than 25 cents a
pound and not less than 20 cents. In
response to an offer of 500 each for
such cows he said he had 10 such cows
and he paid more than 500 each for
some of them, and he would not sell
them for 5000 each
He estimated the cost of food for
such a cow would be about S35 a year.
lie doubted if it would be profitab Bile
for a man to build a silo unless he had
at leas' 10 cows, as it must be fed from
the silo at the rate of about eight
inches "A day to keep that on the top in
good condition, and he thought those
who did not make dairy farming a spe-
cialty should go out Of the business, as
they were likely to be keeping cows at
loss.

After onions are cured cut the
