! Hospital For Sick Wheat
Great Cereal Infirmary at Port AR.
thur on Lake Superior - Won
derful Cures Effected.
oooooooooocooooooooooooc

The latest thing in the hospital line
is an infirmary for sick wheat, where
various ailments of the kernel are
treated and in many cases perfect
cure is effected.
There Is an immense annual loss re-
sulting from wet or diseased wheat.
The loss from loose smut alone is at
least $1S,OOO,OOO year. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture has disseminated
a great deal of information among the
farmers in regard to the diseases OF
wheat and the means for bringing
about cure, but not much benefit has
resulted from the information. In the
large wheat sections of Manitoba and
the Northwest the same conditions
prevail, and 1t was with the object of
reducing the loss to minimum that
the wheat hospital has been estab-
lished at Port Arthur, at the north
west end of Lake Superior. Here an
elaborate system is in use for restor-
ing diseased wheat to healthy state.
The building Is in the form of large
elevator, very similar to the common
grain elevators of the United States
and Canada. 1t is supported out in the
lake upon crib work, so that vessels
may come alongside and carry the
cured wheat directly to the East or
foreign ports. About 100000 bushels
of wheat are treated in the hospital
every year.
Where the disease of the wheat is
of q very virulent type, it is impossi-
BILE to improve it in health. Diseases

NEW SPORT FROM ANTIPoDEs.
Ak and Saw Contests Are Witnessed by
Shouting Thousands.

; Tasmania may justly claim the credit
bf having given the world new sport.
In that far-off land. among the men
of Drawn and might, whose swinging
axes have felled the towering forests
and converted their trackless depths
into fourishing farm lands, has arisen
D contest fit for kings; a form of ath-
letic exercise calculated to bring the
thrill of delight to all who have an
honest admiration for good red blood
and the display of mighty muscle sys-
tematically trained to do useful work.
The new sport may be designated as
faxmanship," and although it is of but
recent origin it has already taken the
premiership over all other sports.

rapid. for the great saw cuts through
the wood much more quickly than the
axe can go.
This year for the first time the ak
mems and sawyers' championships
were won by the same man-Thomas
Pettitt, of Sprint, Tasmania. Not only
did he win both events, but he also

poses than the normal wheat, from the
fact that part Of the coat, which has
to be removed in milling, is removed

SO that lt shall be complete in all departments. thus making lt unnec. cssary for graduates of the institution to seek further Instruction tn profes. slonal or technical schools of the East or Europe. is the policy announced by Mrs Jane Lathgop Stanford. who Is just back from a years vacation in Europe.

 Six hundred students gathered at Encnla Hall. and. led by the Uniyer. sity band. marched two miles 10 Mrs Stanford's home to welcome her return. She was much affected by the demonstration and esteem in which the students hold her. and expressed her gratitude In these words:
 T am happy 10 be back home after an absence of year and a half but the greatest pleasure to me Is the the knowledge that the students hold me dear. am very grateful to you for this spontaneous welcome. {.

Peculiar Macedonia

Ut is announced from Bucharest. says a dispatch from Vienna. that Herr Rosenthal. the representative Of a German firm. has been kidnapped by Bulgarian brigands at Silestra.
 Ut Is rumored that the Macedonian committee has decided to capture every foreigner within reach tn order to attract European attention to the bad state of public security in Mace donia.'
 TWO missionaries. Mir. Baird and Mir. Haskell who were sent out several days ago to attempt to locate the brigands and arrange terms with the outlaws have not been heard from. As no news has been received from Messrs. Baird and Haskell a third missionary has been dispatched in quest of them and the brlgands.
 The Bulgarian government dis claims all responsibility for the ab duction Of Miss Stone. claiming that the crime is chargeable 10 Turkey. The Minister of the interior however. has addresse da note to the United States Consul General stating that the Bulgarian troops will pursue and se- yerely punish the bandits If they appear on Bulgarian soil
 Consul General Dickinson Is ayerse io paying the ransom. and demands that Bulgaria arrest the leaders of the Macedonian Committee as the real authors of the missionary's ab- ductOT~. The paper says the situa- ton contains all the actors Of a grave international complication. and threatens to assume importance far beyond the personality of any indi- vidual missionary.

 The Orange Judd Farmer in the cur. rent issue attacks the sugar trust in no unmeasured terms. We quote as follows:
 War to the knife against the domes. tic beetsugar industry has been de. clared by the American Sugar Refinery Company. which Is the trust that de- bends for It's existence upon imported raw sugar. Of course. cut prices mean heavy loss to the trust but 1t can afford a temporary loss. if thereby it can destroy domestic sugar production and thus have the consumers of this country at Is mercy. Then. by getting lower tariff on imported raw sugar the trust expects to make good many times over the losses now incurred in annIhilating domestic sugar producers. But the sugar trust does not yet con troll either the Congrcs or the people of the United States. Our farmers have beaten the sugar trust in every contest in Congress heretofore. and We can do It again. II all interested in the welfare of the American people will cooperate effectively
