The Parasite os Eisphnntissis.

BY Reuter- telegram 1t Is learned
that the second malarial expedition OF
the Liverpool School of Tropical Medi-
cine has wired home from Bombay, in
Nigeria. the important discovery that
the parasite that causes epephantlasis
has been found, like that which causes
malaria. in the proboscis Of the NOS
quito. 1t has long been known that
the small worm which produced this
disease OF hideous deformity by taking
up Its abode in the Emphatic vessels
OF the human subject can also live in
the mosquito. but its discovery In the
proboscis of the insect shows that the
bites OF these pests are responsible for
the human afiiction. The disease is
very prevalent among the natives of
tropical countries and sometimes at
lacks the European residents. It Is an
Interesting fact that this discovery has
been announced almost simultane-
ously with that from Bombay by DR..

Growing Pop Corn.


The demand for pop corn increases
every year, yet the crop is never equal
to the market, says Joel Shoemaker In
Indiana Farmer. Farmers do not con-
slider the profits OF this special crop
or there would be more grown for sup
plying home demands. Pop corn re-
quires about the same soil as that de-
manded by the sweet and field vari-
cites. A sod or vegetable mould, con-
tanning more sand than clay and hav-
ing previous clean culture is best
adapted to corn growing. II plowed in
the fall or winter and left to freeze
until the spring weeds begin to grow
before planting, the land will be in fine
condition. This crop wants plant food
ike all others, but can get along with
little nitrogen. An average fertilizer
might contain about per cent each
of phosphoric acid and potash and per-
haps 11a per cent to per cent nitro
gen; from 400 to 900 pounds per acre
would be considered fair application.
Another popular fertilizer for corn Is
mixture of about 800 pounds Of fine
of potash per acre broadcasted and we'll

Pop corn may be planted closer than

Boracic acid. as we'll as the more in
furious preservatives, is to be brought

be encouraging to the Americans for
the English example has been con-
stantly urged as one reason why we
should not have more stringent laws
regarding preservatives. In some in
vestigations made by the government,
one scientist said that he believed
this promiscuous dosing of the public
by ignorant persons to be very dan
gerous. That is the most potent
reason why preservatives be not al
lowed in milk. We have no certainty
as to how much acid is used, and it
is to the interests of the manufacturers
of the preservatives to have as large
doses as possible used This is par
ticularly dangerous in the case of chill
dren living on an exclusive milk diet.

t.r4.te Hog,


Good grades are much mere reliable
breeders than are crosses and are to
he preferred. The native stock has the
vieor of constitution, which is always
necessary, and has no inherited pre-
potency to develop in any certain
direction. When mated with pure
blood the result is usually an animal
with the vigor of the native ancestor
and the characteristics of the pure
blood parent shown in its better form
and fattening qualities. Succeeding
crosses in the same direction strength
en- this tendency toward improvement.
The great objection to grading up"
IN this way Is the fact that, no matter
now fine specimens the animals may
be, they can never be sold as pure
bloods, and an animal which is grade
Will never sell for breeding at as high
price as will one which is of pure
blood and entitled to registration. The
man who intends to follow hog raising
as business, even If he does not keep
more than dozen animals, will find
1t both profitable and economical to
buy a pair Of pure-bloods, and then
make his entire drove pure-bloods as
soon as he can raise enough desirable
animals. By buying young boar and
SOW already in pig by boar not re-
lated to the one purchased, the boar
can be used on the offspring of the
pure-blood sow as well as upon the
grades or natives in the herd, and in
this way the pure-bloods can be in
creased SO rapidly that there will soon
be no need to keep the grades. The
hog raiser should certainly use pure
blood boar, and it will usually pay to
buy a new one each year, SO that in
breeding may be avoided. Pure blood
hogs are not necessarily expensive.
Ihey pay best in the end, and SO are
more profitable than either crosses or
grades. Good animals, though not the
pest, OF any Of the standard breeds can
be purchased for from IS to $40 each
when weaned, while young sows in
pig can be bought for from SO to 500.
VI course older animals which show
specially fine qualities will cost more,
and their better qualities will often
make them the more profitable in the
end. Breeders who have established
regulations as producers of exception
