''InStead of announcing that This is

the ACCESSIBILITY of the foreign minis

punishment be administered in those

This government is anxious that
the powers should retire from China

A Cement which Resist. Acid.

In some branches OF industry a &C.
ment which is proof against the influ-
ence of acids is absolutely essential.
and such a substance can be prepared
by melting together one part of India
rubber with two parts of linseed oil.
This should be gradually Incorporated
with three parts of white bole so as to
form plastic mass. This when heated
softens but very little. Though it does
not easily dry upon the surface, when
once set it is not affected at all by ny
drochloric acid and but very little by
nitric acid. Its drying and hardening
is materially promoted by mixing with
One-fifth of its weight of litharge or
minimum.

and the Poets Copy of "Pindnr."
The Harvard library numbers among
its treasures an autograph of Milton
and 4 copy of "Pindar' annotated in
Millions own handwriting. with mar
ginal notes in Greek and Latin. Both
of these rarities were beQueathed to
the university by Charles Sumner.
The "Pindar'' is dated 1920 and was
doubtless used 10y Milton during his
stay at Cambridge university. At the
end he has added an alphabetical index
in manuscript occupying two closely
written pages of all the authors cited
in his notes, with references to the
pages in which their names occur.
Millions autograph is found in the
pages of an autograph album or visit
ors' book kept. according to custom
common in the sixteenth century, by a
NeapOlitan nobleman, Camillus Car
doyn by name, who resided in Geneva
from 1G0S to 1910, where Milton, APP
parently. visited him. Another auto
graph i'm this same album among the

Earl OF Stafford. Millions signature is

cine so prepared made animals immune
from distemper in any contact.
This discovery has been recognized
as of great value in England. At the
same time DIR. Copeman has not had a
chance to prove how long this immun-
ity may last, and dog breeders all over
the world are to be brought to try the
vaccine with an eye to its lasting eff
feet.
This discovery is interesting from
pathological point of view from the
fact that long ago the disease was
classed as a variola and an incubation
of cowpox was proved to be Intellectual
against it.
From the time Of Aristotle canine
distemper has been recognized. In
1923 it almost wiped out the dogs OF
Bohemia. France suffered from it in
1740. and before the century ended
nearly every part of Europe had felt
the scourge. 1t exists in nearly every
part of Europe to-day.
Time and again in recent years un.
successful efforts have been made to
find the germ of the distemper. Now
that it is found it does not show
marked variations from several other
well-known micrococci.

PRESERVE YOUR HORSE.

Many farm horses are killed each

ers would, nor would they purposely
take their lives by Intentional cruel
ty. BY careless inattention the work
is done, and many men are guilty OF
the charge of killing OF good horses
if the matter could be definitely
traced. Poor treatment when dis
ease attacks the vital parts Of .
horse is . source Of much fatality
among horses. Lack Of Judgment un-
der circumstances relating to the
care Of horses when they are out Of
condition il another. The lack of
proper knowledge OF the effect OF
different foods for horses under Pc
culiar conditions may be added to
the list. A great many causes might
be given, but it is unnecessary to re-
peat them here. The horse owner
who will give the subject any thought
can figure out more ways than one
in which the lives Of those faithful
animals may be shortened or length
ened. There are very few horses
worn out. The most Of them die
from some cause or other. and these
causes are what horsemen want to
look after If they want their horse to
live to q green old age. 1t is easier
to preserve horses than to procure
them. Barring accidents. . sound
horse should be as good at 20 as at
any other age. yet we find but few
that are old that are able to do .
full days work without great fa-
tigue. You must study the care OF
your horses if you would preserve
them.-Drovers' Journal.

WEIGHT OF FLEECE.
sheep Kept On the Western Ranges
Carry More Wool Than These
Raised In the East.

On the western ranges sheep are
grown more cheaply than in any
other part of the country, and doubt
less as cheaply as in any country in
the world, but the sheep there carry
heavier fleeces than elsewhere in this
country, says Farm. Stock and Home.
In the New England states feeces A.
erage from five to six pounds each:
in New York and Pennsylvania. less
than six pounds; while Ohio, Mich
igau and Indiana average little over
6H pounds, but the western states
and territories quickly bring up the
average. Iowa's fleece weighs 60;
AIinnesota's Ct; Kansas. II; Mon
tana, 7.3; Wyoming and Washington,
TO each; Idaho, 7.s, and Oregon. rs.
It looks as though those western re-
eions were well adapted to the sheep
industry in more ways than one.
The bureau of animal industry re-
ports that sheep scab has become
much reduced during the past year.
The bureau has inspectors stationed
throughout all the sheep raising re-
gions and at railroad points in order
to discover diseased sheep and pre-
vent their gaining access to the large
stock yards. Sheep owners have been
encouraged to dip their sheep, and
the bureau thinks that few more
years of active work will result in
the practical eradication of the para
site causing scab.
