done offhand before the eyes Of all

they could. not waiting for the tip
of money or drink of rum they had
right to expect. @
In one remarkable case in my
knowledge DR.. Even used his
psychic power for the healing of the
sick. Visiting on an out of the way
island of the Bermuda group, he
was persuaded by his host to go
with him to see man who for years
had been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism, which, affecting every joint,
had rendered. him helpless. On
their arrival at his house they found
the invalid in a reclining chair.
Every attempt to move gave him
exquisite torture, and he was unable
to lift his swollen hands resting on
the blanket spread across his lap.
AS they talked with the sufferer DR..
Even went to him and took both
his hands in his own. At his touch
the, man writhed and screamed in
agony, for "A pang severer than any
he had known before shot up his
right arm and through his whole

no pain. Now your other hand.
And he moved the left hand around
as easily as he had moved the right.
Get up from your chair and walk.
Go to the end of the room and back,
was the next order, and the man,
who had not stood on his feet in
many months, rose from his chair
and walked easily about tho room.
He was cured, and six months later,
when the doctor quilted the Bermu-

Painter for an Artist
Patron.

There is a saying that two of trade can
never agree, but there is reason to believe
that there is more fraternity of interest
than il generally supposed. An instance to
prove this theory is found in the case of an
artist in the suburbs who had the front of
his cottage painted last week. 1t wasn't

the painter was told to bring in his bill.
Three days later the man of the house was

be was informed that the painter wanted
to see him in person, so there was nothing
to DO but to show him up.
"Well?" said the man of the house rather
shortly.
II hope you like the job" said the painter,
with a mysterious smile.
He was Informed that it appeared to be all

the corner for putty, the clerk told me you

house, then, and he said you had got your
hand out now, and didn't paint anything
but pictures. So when found you was in

right, as you know, but, being it's you, I'll
knock off the 60 cents.'

TREATMENT OF QU1NSY.
Swine Afflicted with This Disease
Should Be Placed In Dry and
Comfortable Quarters.

Quinsy is most often seen in the fall,
winter or spring. Drinking ice cold wa
ter, sleeping in damp nests and ex-
posure to extreme weather must have
much to do with the attacks, says the
Field and Farm. In mild attacks pigs
always recover in q week or two. In
aggravated cases there is fever, with
frequent and painful breathing. The
throat becomes sore and swollen and
the grunt or squeal is hoarse. The ap-
petite is lost, and swallowing causes
great pain. As the disease advances
the breathing becomes very painful,
and the pig usually sits on it's launches
and breathes through it's half-open
mouth with a wheeling sound. In ag-
gravated cases the animal may die in
from one to three days. Affected swine
should be placed in dry, comfortable
quarters and fed entirely on sloppy
food. An emetic at the beginning may
cut the disease short, but owing to the
difficulty in swallowing it is danger
Gus and must be given in food. If med
icine is given alone, the amount should
be only sufficient to wet the mouth with
white hellebore in doses of from one
half to rs grains. This gives them re-
lief at times.

PRESERVED MEATS.
stances They Are Not Preferable
to the Fresh Article.

Prof. Harvey W. Wiley, chemist of the
department of agriculture, has subject
ed certain samples of canned meats to
chemical analysis for the purpose of de-
termining whether any deleterious sub.
stances had been used in their prepara-
tion. Eleven samples were procured in
open market, eight being corned beef
from five different packn g-houses, two
of luncheon beef and one of roast beef.
Ten samples were furnished by the war
department, being taken from the COM
missary stores at Atlanta and Savan-
nah. Prof. Wiley reports that all the
samples were in good condition. A
careful chemical examination failed to
disclose the presence of either borax or
sulphites, or sulphurous, boric, salicylic
or benzoic acids. The only preserva-
tives found were salt and saltpeter, the
former in about the same and the latter
in smaller quantity than would have
been used in private families for pre-.
servative purposes. Neither lead nor
zinc was found in the cans, the solder
ing having been done in such manner

tact with the contents of the can.
In conclusion, Prof. Wiley emphasizes
the fact that preserved foods, especial
ly meats, are not prefera BILE to the fresh
articles, where these can be procured.
He urgently recommends that some
competent supervising agent be always
present to inspect the packages when
opened to detect any failure of CON-
plete sterilization in their prepare tion
or any evidences of incipient or ad
vanced decay in their contents. when
these precautions are Observed" says
Prof. Wiley, there is NO reason to be-
ieve that the ingestion of preserved
meats as an article of food, in proper
quantities and in properly balanced
ratios, will in any way interfere with
the health or comfort of the person con-
suming them" Prof. Wiley's examina~
tion has no direct relation into the in
vestigation of the army supplies by the
army investigating commission, but
was ordered by the secretary of agri
culture in view of the important export
and farming interests that might be un-
favorably affected by some of the testi-
mony before that commission.-Chica-

POTATOES FOR STOCK.
Whether Fed to Cattle or Horses tn
Tubers Should BE Given with
Comfortable Caution.

When farmer has big crop of po-
tatoes on hand and the price goes away
below any fair compensation for the la
Dor involved in growing them, he nat
urally wants to feed to some kind of
live stock. It then becomes interesting
to know what their relative value for
that purpose is. Fjord found in the
low countries of Europe that four
pounds of potatoes were worth one
pound of grain for pig feeding. Henry
il this country found that AS pounds
Of potatoes was worth 100 pounds of
corn meal for pigs. For pigs the po-
tatoes should be fed with skim milk
or some other foods fairly rich in pro-
tein. Counting cornmeal worth $1s
per ton, potatoes would be forth 13
cents per bushel for pig feeding. If
cornmeal is worth SIG, potatoes would be
worth ~ cents per bushel.
While I caution your reader from
undertaking tc reduce pig feeding to
a mathematical science I think he
would not be lar wrong in estimating
the amount of gain to be derived from
potatoes judicious,y fed with middlings
and skim milk as three pounds of gain
to the bushel Of potatoes. In other
words the bushel of potatoes added to
the skim milk and middlings will pro-
duce three pounds r1ore of gain than
the skim milk and middlings would
have produced if fed alone Potatoes
have been fed to dairy cows and to
horses. A French chemist estimates
that 100 pounds Of hay could be re-
placed by little less than 300 pounds
of potatoes. Whether fed to cattle or
horses, potatoes should be fed very
