4 TRIUMPH FOR SCIENCE.
A Discovery of Unusual Importance Made at the University
 of Michigan.
VICTORY OVER CHOLERA AND TYPHOID.
An Antiseptic for Intestinal Dis eases, that Has Been Named Ben EOyone, and Which Has Been successfully Tested on Animals and Human Subjects.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 24.--Keen in. terest has been aroused in the med. ical profession here by reports of a discovery of unusual importance at the meteorological laboratory of the University of Michigan. It is stated that experiments by Dr. Frederick K G. Novy, and Prof. Paul C. Freer, d chemist, have produced what is be- heved to be an antiseptic for such intestinal diseases or cholera, ty- phoid fever and dysentery.
 The preparation has been tried with success in experiments on small animals previously inoculated with intestinal diseases. and during the past week five medical students 5 have been undergoing a course of eX- periments with tne preparation. l. is stated that they were restricted tc diet of sterilized milk, being treat ed in the meantime with the new preparation, and that repeated chem ical analyses during the period showed the utter destruction of the intestinal poisons.
 Dr. Noyy and his colleagues posi- lively decline to discuss the reported discovery or their experiments for publication.
 The ravages of typhoid fever and dysentery in armies and the terrible slaughter of Asiatic cholera have caused the medical profession in all ages to scratch it's head in despair. Some few months ago Dr. Frederick (. Novy, who is one of the greatest bacteriologists of the age, and Prof Paul (. Freer, one of the best known chemists, announced that toget her they had succeeded in preparing an intestinal antiseptic that was sue cessful on small animals inoculat- ed with intestinal diseases.
 They gave the name of "benzozone' to the preparation. bat it's exact com position is not vet made public

Damages Against Railroad.

The jury in the damage suit of the Wolf Goldman Mercantile Comp7 ny against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad Company, growing out of the compress fire at Newport April I, 1900. when 2,76S bales of cotton were destroyed. gave a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for Sl24000. The real plaintiffs in the suit are not only Wolff-Goldman Mer- cantile Company. but seven or eight Insurance companies, who carried the risks upon the cotton destroyed. The petition of the plaintiffs alleges that sparks from engines on the Iron Noun tain set fire to the Best feed and liv- cry barn, in which in turn set afre the compress property. The Lesser Cotton Company prosecuted a similar claim in the federal court against the Iron Mountain for losses sustained in this fire, the case having been tried at Little Rock last spring, but was decided against the plaintiff.

 The new set of British Central Africa of the negro type is very attractive. The set is bicolored and the combina- tions of color startling, yet pleasing to the eye. The design has not been changed.
 While the duke of York is an en- thusia stic philatelist, it is not true that he depends upon his own knowledge and time to arrange his stamps. This work is undertaken by Mir. J. \. Till card. of London, a gentleman of we'll known philatelic knowledge. and who acts as his royal highness phi.atelic secretary.
 A stamp that is likely to become rare is the BOG. rose Chile. Two million were printed, and of these 1,750,00O have been surcharged "5,' most of the remaining 250,000 being used on official forms which are pc riodically destroyed. Comparatively few, either used or unused, are likely to come into the hands of collectors. The stamp is now obsolete,

New Rule Governing Pardops,

Parties seeking freedom of state prisoners will in the future have to pursue a different course from that followed heretofore, as the following proclamation from the governor will show;
 To the People of the State of Arkan-

 Whereas, On the 18th day of No. yember 1901. a petition was present ed to me from Hampstead county, in this state, asking for the pardon of one Walter Lee, indicted and convict ed for the illegal selling of whisky; and.
 Whereas, Upon said petition ap- pears the names of the sheriff of the county, the clerk of the county, the prosecuting attorney and the names of many good citizens asking for said pardon; and,
 Whereas, It has since developed that the majority. if not all, of the said signatures are forgeries, signed without the consent or knowledge of the parties. and to prevent future i'm positions of this character being per petrated upon this office, I make and publish this as rule, which shall govern the granting of pardons here after:
 The applicant or his attorney shall deposit petition for pardon with the circuit clerk of his county fifteen days, subject to the inspection of the general public. and shall post a no- tice of this fact upon the courthouse door, conspicuously, for that length of time, calling attention that the appli- cation of the parties named is then in the hands of the circuit clerk. sub ject to the inspection of the citizens of that county, after which 1t will be presented for consideration to the governor.
 No application for pardon will be considered by this office unless this rule has been strictly complied with and the certificate of the circuit clerk showing that the requirements of this rule have been complied with.

notion that spreading manure up
on the snow is a wasteful practice,
and that much of its value is lost
by teaching and running over the
surface in the Spring. They point
to darkened SHOWS, high-colored
waters and greener meadows at
the base of the hillsides as proof
of this. Some loss occurs in this
way, but it is less than is common
ly supposed.
The loss from manure as or
dinarily kept in barn cellars or in
heaps outside the barn is much
more than when spread in the
field. Fermentation is much less
outdoors than indoors. 1t is better
for the manure to leach on the
soil that it is meant to tertilive
than in proximity to the barn and
family we'll. Experiment and ex-
perience alike show that housing
manure in Winter for Spring
hauling is seldom better and
generally worse than spreading it
as fast as made. Some will be
lost if spread, but more will be
lost if kept in the barn, and the
Springs work will be just so much
hindered. While it may not be
advisable to spread manure on
steep hillside in Winter, yet on
moderate slopes and level places,
if not too leachy land, it may be
safely spread any day in the year.

At the closing up of the honey
season we usually have a number
of frames of comb honey not yet
extracted, and it is a good plan to
reserve these combs for putting
the bees in good Winter shape.
This pays better than feeding and
always makes the bees self-sustain-
ing, says Farm, Field and Eiyesid<.
These combs of honey, all well
ripened and sealed up during the
honey season, are the best and
most healthy Winter food, and the
bees are more liable to get a more
liberal supply than if we buy sugar
and feed them.
Not only should we have good
reserve of the combs in store for
wintering, but also for springing
the bees. In early Spring they
answer a good purpose also and
are so much more convenient, and
at any time through the Winter
when we find a colony short of
stores we can give them frame of
honey, when in no other way can
we supply them with food at this
time except we make candy for
them. We will always have our
bees in better shape, and the re-
suits from this plan of feeding will
be better investment in the long
run than if we sell this honey and
feed sugar instead.

These combs may not be COM
pleted and all sealed over, but may
duly be partially filled with honey,
but are all right for this purpose
in this way, and by placing them
in empty hives and covering them
securely from mice they can be
safely kept for long time. The
best way to store such combs is to
place them in empty hives, using
the same number of frames as we
do when the bees occupy them, SO
that the combs may not touch each
other, and thus stack them up one
hive on the top of another, using
an ordinary lid at the bottom and
also one on top which will inclose
them safely.
All unfinished sections or those
partly filled may be kept for the
same purpose and given the bees
during early spring, when they
will clean them out in most cases
before they draw on their honey
in the brood chamber. Some prac-
tice open air feeding with those
unfinished sections by stacking
them up and leaving but a small
entrance to them.

geese. Use lumber as follows: Two
by two for corner posts. or Ix2 will
answer. If you can not get them,
get Ix4 and rip them in two. Cut
six pieces 80 inches long and nine
pieces IL or Isinches long for each
coop. Nail the short pieces one at
each end and one in the center of
the long ones, using ten-penny
wrought nails. Make three of these
frames, one for each end and CEN
ter. For the bottom use half-inch
boards or lath, make the bottom
tight, using ix-penny nails. Use
Hx2-inch strips of lath for sides,
ends and top, put them IHinches
apart; the width of lath is about
right. Leave two laths loose on
top in center, or make a door of
them to open, in order to put
poultry in and take it out. Now
nail lath around the coops, each
end and the center, outside the
three frames made first. This will
keep the lath from coming off and
make the coops stronger. For
broilers the coops can be made 10
inches high and "a inches wide.
This will make good strong, light
coop.

the DRAWBACKS or cRtAMtRlts.

In the Times recently there ap-
peared an alarmist letter from an
Irish correspondent on the evils of
creameries. He says A very
serious condition of things is being
developed by the increase of
creameries in the south of Ireland.
These creameries have been the
means of bringing about a very
marked Improvement in the
quality of Irish butter, and the
primitive dairy utensils and the
antiquated methods of the small
farmers have been discarded. The
farmers now send their milk twice
daily to the district creamery,
with the result that the uniform
colour and texture of Irish butter
have secured for it higher price
in English markets than was OBJ
tanned under the old system.
Farmers are, however, beginning
to realize that the creamery sys-
tenn has many and serious draw
backs. The threatened ruin of
the Irish cattle trade, the serious
injury of the pig trade, and the
spread of infectious disease,
especially of enteric fever, among
the people are matters now en-
gaging much attention. The farm
ers who contribute new milk to
district creameries get back the
separated milk. This is given to
calves and pigs, and among the
poorer farmers is consumed by
members Of the household. The
food value of this waste product is
almost nil, and it compares very
unfavourably with the butter
milk" formerly given to calves and
pigs. Since the change of system
a very fatal disease, known as
"scour," has broken out among
calves fed on separated milk. Not
only has the mortality been very
serious, but experience has shown
that those which survive remain
stunted in size and inferior in
quality. The Irish Cattle Traders
