DRY CLIMATE OF THE ARCTIC.

Wounds sometimes Heal Rapidly in
It-Meats Do Not Become Putrid.
One of the American consuls In Ger
many has forwarded to the State De-
partment report made by DIR. Rowitz,
the physician of the German Fisheries
Society, who spent four months in the
Arctic last year, on some climatic con-
ditions of that region. He made some
interesting discoveries concerning the
putrefaction processes and the healing
of wounds. His steamer arrived at
Bear Island in the beginning Of July.
Fish caught on the voyage and dried in
the Norwegian fashion showed not a
trace of putridity as long as the air
remained dry and clear Even the nat
ural fishy smell disappeared. Walrus
meat caught on the island and left ex-
posed on the rocks kept perfectly fresh
and sweet. 1t tasted, by the way, much
like beefsteak.
Wounds on the hands, though ex-
posed to the contact of iron chains and
bloody walrus flesh, did not become in
famed in fair weather, but they did
not heal. They remained raw, open
wounds. The surface gradually dried,
but showed no tendency to form a scab
But it was very different in damp
cloudy weather.
Then fish, though already almost
dry, soon became moldy and putres-
cent. The walrus meat also soon be-
came offensive.
Shoes had to be kept well oiled to
prevent molding. The slightest wounds
festered at once. In some cases the
pain was SO intense as to make the
hardy sailors writhe in agony. But,
after lancing these wounds healed rap
idly, sometimes in one night.
In dry and germ-free air, therefore,
there was neither Inflammation nor a
tendency to heal, while in moist, germ
laden air intense Inflammation and pro-
fuse suppuration were quickly fol-
lowed by complete healing.
1t would seem as if the system made
no effort to heal wounds except when
the presence of bacteria makes them
specially dangerous.

Stacking the Straw.

In some way the wheat and oat
straw should all be utilized. If it cam
not all be fed to the stock to advantage,
it can at least be used for bedding and
in tLis way be converted into manure.
There are few farms where there is too
much manure. Generally if more care
were taken to make, save and apply
more manure, better crops at less
cost would be grown, and where wheat
and oats are made a part of the farm
crops, the straw should in some way
find its way back to the land.
Straw alone Is not a complete food.
Animals must consume too large bulk
of it, more than can be properly digest
ed if even fairly thrifty condition is
maintained But if combined with
other materials it can be used to a
good advantage. If mixed with clover
hay and small proportion of wheat
bran is added very good ration is pro-
vided and one that is at the same time
economical. Like everything else
saved for feed much depends upon the
condition. With little care in stack
ing, so that it will keep in good con-
dition 1t can be used to much better
advantage either for feeding or bed
ding Even when wanted for bedding
it should be stacked up where it can
be kept dry, as dry bedding will help
materially in making the stock COM

Corn and Cob Meal.


Evidence accumulates in regard to
the value of grinding the corn and cob
together for feeding to stock, as was
the custom Of our fathers. 1t is claim
ed that the pure meal packs so much
closer in the digestive organs as not to
be as thoroughly acted upon by them
as the lighter meal when the cob is
ground. AT the North Carolina station
they found that 100 pounds of ears of
dent corn had S11a pounds of kernels
and 1S1a pounds of cob. There was
I'LL pounds of dry matter, of which
61.S4 pounds was digestible in the kerr
mel, and 16.4O pounds of dry matter of
which I'll was digestible In the cob.
Then the whole ear ground should be
nearly 13 per cent better than the ker-
nels alone, an important item, well re-
paying the cost of grinding. At the
Kansas station they reported that In a
feeding test with pigs, $50 pounds of
corn and cob meal made 100 pounds
of gain. while of the pure meal it took
67G pounds. Taking the North Caro-
lima figures with these. we find that the
number of pounds of ears making 1OG
pounds of pork. when all was ground
together. would make but little over
80 pounds when only the kernels were
ground. A Nebraska farmer who feeds
many cattle says he finds it profitable
to grind corn and cob when it is 25
cents bushel, and having his own mill
with sweep power, he can grind it for
half cent a bushel. But all agree that
fine grinding is important

Transplantinx Trees.

For each t-ee dig big hole. Into the
hole put all the scraps of old iron, tin
cans, old bones and all the rubbish ON
hand. Get bushel or more of the best
soil you can find, leaf mold if possible,
and make soft bed, in which to set
your tree, with its roots comfortably
spread out. Scatter a little more good
soil on top Of the roots. Now pour at
least one-half peck of small potatoes on
top of all. Water well with warm
water, and fill up the hole with good
soil, which must be well firmed, but not
packed. The growing potatoes will
keep the soil about the trees loose, aud
gives the tree start that will carry it
well through the first summer. The po-
tato tops serve both as a mulch anS

has sometimes happened upon certai
soils, where the roots did not penetrate
deeply, and where the stand of grass
was so thin that the stubble did not
shade the soil at all to prevent the evap-
Grafton from it. Yet many of those
same farmers cut their grass closer to
the ground with the hand scythe than
the moving machine cut; that is, they
did so in the center of the swath, for
they were not what we call good now
ers, pointing in and out and leaving the
stubble level, but cut with swing that
left each swath what we called "hog
trough" high where the swaths met,
but very low in the center. The most
obvious way to remedy the danger of
cutting too low would be to set the
knives higher, but it is not the best
way. Make the soil light and porous
by having plenty of vegetable matter
in it, and rich enough to grow a thick
turf, and there is little danger of the
sunshine injuring the roots, and a
shower or even heavy dew will cause
it to brighten up very quickly.-Ameri-

INHERITED DISEASES,

Care May Prevent Transmission from
| Parent to Child.
The question of heredity, or the trans
mission of certain mental traits or
physical characteristics from parents
to children, is one that has been much
studied, but of which as yet too little
is known. Formerly the Inheritance of
disease was believed in implicitly, by
| physicians as well as by laymen, and
/ the list of maladies to which children
We're supposed to be almost inevitably
condemned by the accident of birth
was very long one.
Among these hereditary diseases
were reckoned consumption and scrof
| ula, leprosy, gout, rheumatism, goitre,
cancer, insanity, epilepsy and many
more about these maladies, however,
one after another of them is removed
| wholly or in part from this category
and placed among the acquired dis
eases.
Undoubtedly some diseases are really
inherited, but their number is certainly
not large. Many diseases run in fam
lilies, but are not on that account neces-
sarily hereditary.
Consumption, for example, was only
recently regarded as one Of the most
surely inherited diseases, and is still
believed by many to be so. But we
now know that it is a germ disease,
which, while not catching" in the or
binary sense of the word, Is readily
transmitted from the sick to the well
when the invalid is careless in his hab-
its. especially as regards eXpectoration.
1t is also acquired more readily by
those Of delicate constitution than by
the robust.
The children of consumptive parents
are seldom robust, and SO are predis-
posed to any of the germ diseases, and
living constantly in house where the
germs of consumption are necessarily
abundant, they are very likely to be-
come victims of that disease.
This is an important fact. 1t teaches
us that since, as rule, only the pre-
disposition to the family disease is in
herited, and not the disease itself, the
chances of the younger generations
escaping, if proper care is used, are
very great.
The bringing up of child In con- !
sumptive family should be Of special
ly hygienic character. The best of
foods, of fresh air and sunlight, not too
much studs, long hours of sleep in
well-ventilated room and, as far as
possible, avoidance Of exposure to the
coIiagfon OF the family nalady tllese
are the weapons by which the malign
influence of inherited weakness of con-
stitution may be overcome and many
precious lives saved.-Youth's Com
panion.

Push the Chicks,

VOL tHc NHlCkSs
Growing chicks cannot be persuaded
to eat too much. Push them along so
that they will attain full growth before
cold weather sets in. The pullets Of
early hatchings, if well fed and in
warm quarters, should be ready to lay
by winter, and if the quarters are warm
enough they should lay fairly well all
winter.
Separate the young roosters from the
pullets if it is possible and feed them
extra, SO that they may be full grown
and well feshed when the time comes
to sell them. They should be kept hun
cry, yet have sufficient to eat. A good
plan is to give them enough to only par
TALLY satisfy their appetite in the MORN
Ing and never enough during the day,
SO that they will hunt around for food.
The exercise will do them good. But
for the evening meal they should have
enough of good grain to fill their crop,
SO that they can go to roost comforta-
bly,. Late hatched chicks should re-
ceive the very best of care and be
pushed along as rapidly as possible, as
it is easier to do this now than when
the weather becomes cold.
When the chickens have attained
their full growth or nearly so, and the
fattening period begins, they should
be confined in small yard, SO that
while they may have little exercise,
yet not the unlimited run they were
accustomed to. If the fattening is to
be done very rapidly, each bird should
be confined in small coop just large
enough for them.

China's Crack Regiment.

All armies have their crack repi-
ments. China's is known as the Tiger
Guard" Its members are supposed to
be very tigers when turned loose in
war. Then, too, they are dressed in
yellow, the imperial color, with stripes
of black in imitation of tigers skin.
The cap is made of split bamboo, and
has ears to it.
A bamboo shield, with a monsters
head painted on it, completes the fan
tastic uniform.
A ..Tiger" officer in full uniform, as
he appears on occasions of review or
parade, is matter of no small interest
and wonder to the stranger.
A highly polished helmet, terminating
in crest of gold, and tuft. of colored
hair on rod eight inches above the
cap; robe of purple or blue silk, rich
ly adorned with gilt buttons, and
reaching to the feet, which are encased
in black satin boots, contitute a cos
tune of picturesqueness and incon-
yenience.
His implements of war are in keeping
with the uniform. All of them glitter
with gems and precious metals. What
sort of fighters the Tigers" make re.

at harvest time from it had sprung
1,360 grains of this large, fat wheat.
