Why People Go to Spas.

In an article in Nature Mr.. Edge
combe gives an account of the action
of baths on the human system. He
says the changes produced are mainly
the result of changes that take place
in the circulatory system by the Their
NAL, chemical or mechanical action of
the baths. The blood pressure is mark
edly affected. Some procedures, such
as the action of cold water or massage
to the limbs, raising it. while others,
such as dry or moist heat, lowering it.
IAN intelligent use of bathing as a
therapeutic agent can so act on the cir
culatory system as to regulate the
blood pressure, restore the normal mo-
bility of the vessels, promote the inter-
change of tissue fluid and profoundly
modify nutrition"

1IEssels After Crabs.

Mussels have always been recognized
as the enemy of oysters, but the era
has been supposed to be altogether too
lively for almost motionless bivalves.
1t now appears that the scarcity of
crabs may be largely due to the great
number of mussels in the bay. A sea
crab was found recently with a string
at least six inches long of young mus
sells attached to him. The crab was
still alive and tried desperately to get
away, but was firmly anchored by the
mussels. They were about the size of
q pea, and it was estimated that there
were several hundred of them in the
bunch. Bay men are inclined to attrib-
ute the scarcity of crabs to anchor ice
which settles on the bottom of the
channels over the crabs during the
time when they are alternating in the
mud and smotherS them, but the dis
covery of the mussels ON a crab raises
the question as to whether the mussels
are not helping to eXterminate the
lively crustacean.-Foresta and Stream.

Bronze grass, which is of growing
popularity in the northwest, appears to
be of doubtful value in the south, espe-
cially the gulf states. 1t is more val
liable for pasture than for hay and
does better on dry than on wet soils.
1t is said that for the last year or
two North Carolina factories have con-
sumed nearly all the raw cotton of
the state, and South Carolina is also
turning its own cotton product into
cloth.

Points In winterfng Bees.

If lacking in stores, they should be
fed good granulated sugar, one cup and
a half of sugar to one cup of hot water
making sirup of the right consist
ency. If you have on hand some eX
tracted honey, add a few tablespoon
fuls, which will prevent its granulat-
ing. Bees will winter well on good
sugar, which is about the only substi-
tute that can be used. Unripe honey
or honey dew often kills the bees in
winter, as they cannot stand a long
confinement on such food.
If the bees are in n double walled
chaff hive, nothing more is necessary.
If in a hive of single thickness, an out
er case of some sort should be put over
the hive, but in nowiSe close the en-
trance. Bees need plenty of fresh air.
The hive entrance should be left open
full width. which will also prevent the
combs from becoming moldy. On warm
days during winter when the thermom-
eter registers 80 degrees or more the
bees will fly out for Il cleansing flight.
after which they will be able to stand
another month of rigorous weather.
With cellar wintering l have had no
experience, but the conditions neces-
sary are to have well ventilated cell
lar kept dark, with an even tempera-
ture of about 40 degrees, says f. G.
Herman in American Agriculturist.

affected. The triangular cushion must
have its apex upward, directed toward
the sternuIn, and the sides when in
place are parallel to the two lowest
ribs. Angles at the base of the triangle
are 40 degrees each. Both the shape
and arrangement of the cushions are
important features, because a differ
emily shaped cushion could not have
the same effect in COMPRISING the
proper nerve cepters. A screw arrange
ment is provided in connection with
this cushion. SO that the pressure may
be varied.
According to the inventor, such q
belt may be worn continually without
Inconvenience or injury in any kind of
weather irrespective of whether the
want be felt or not, it being efficient
both as preventive of seasickness and
as a preventive of the analogous feel
ing occurring in swings, on rocking
horses or railroad cars and even for
preventing vomiting due to purely
nervous conditions.

Tea Drinking and Cold Feet.

Professor Hutchinson, +. r. s., re-
ports the case of a lady who could not
take tea because it made her feet icy
cold and wet with perspiration. She
thought that the soles were chiefly af-
fected and that the hands were also
made cold. but not so markedly as the
feet. Mr.. Hutchinson had long been
familiar with the fact that tea made
the feet of some persons cold, but did
not know that cold perspiration attend
ed 1t. He believed the coldness to be
caused by contraction of the arteries.
inasmuch as the feet shrank. Alcohol
had usually an opposite effect.

WHOLESALE AGRICULTURE.

Scheme of Operations on British
Columbia Farm.
Farming in British Columbia, as in
our own great west, is a wholesale
business, and to show how different it
is from the operations in older sections
Rural New Yorker publishes the fol
lowing letter from a subscriber:
We work about 800 acres of land that
is not surpassed in fertility, pleasure of
working and convenient situation by
any land l have seen. To enable us to
have work during the whole season we
keep about 80 cows and sell the milk in
the town. This, as most people we'll
know, gives plenty of work the year
around. We summer fallow about 100
acres each year. on which we put our
manure direct from the stables every
day but Sunday. This summer fallow
furnishes the pasture for our cows, as
all our land is cultivated. We plow,
summer faIlow early and turn, after
which we SOW to wheat for pasture.
This supplies the cows until the corn is
ready or the frost kills the young
plants We inclose the fallow with Il
wire fence, which is removed to anoth
er portion the following year. Our last
els per acre of No. 1 hard wheat, and
IS acres on which we grew corn last
year gave us 80 bushels per acre this
season The remainder of the wheat
crop only averaged II bushels, and we
should be glad to be able to use more
corn.
The ordinary farming is by blowing
in fall. We have six teams at work
turning the stubble under. In early
spring we harrow and sow ~ bushels
wheat with press drill, after which
we cross harrow and go over twice
with weeders. We cut with binders,
using three; thrash from the stock as
soon as dry enough. Wheat goes di-
rect to elevator (half mile distanD
from thrashing machine. The straw
is piled up with a cyclone stacker on
the thrasher, and the portion not re-
quired for stock is burned as soon
as the machine pulls away from the
stack. The thrasher furnishes all help.
boards men and gives us the grain in
bags, charging Ga cents per bushel.
This finishes the season, and we be-
gin to pillow again for another year
We mostly work four horse teams, but
find three a convenient team. We use
handy wagons, potato diggers and |
scufflers and work our teams from 4 |
until g, with one hour noon, when we |
are busy seeding or harvesting, but |
from s until at jobs like summer fal- |
lowing, and the men who milk quit at |
always, put their teams away and |
milk until or until finished.
