WHITE swELL,NG or THE KNEE

WHITE OF THE KNEE.
This is the old name for a chronic
! tubeTculous Inflammation of the knee
joint, that is to say, an Inflammation
produced by the same germ that, when
seated in the lungs, is the cause or
consumption. It is a disease chiefly
affecting children, although adults are
not wholly exempt from it.
The trouble usually comes on insidi-
ously, without any evident cause; but
sometimes 1t follows an acute inflam-
j. nation resulting from a strain, a fall
or other injury. The first symptom
will probably be a slight limp, which
may be intermittent, coming and 60
ing irregularly for a time; and with
this there is apt to be an Indefinite,
dull pain.
Soon the joint grows a little stiff,
and is slightly fixed, and any attempt
to straighten the knee causes pain and
an involuntary jerking of the leg or
of the entire body. At night the child
, occasionally starts in his sleep and
cries out, but If awakened says he has
no pain.
After a longer or shorter time, dur
ing which these symptoms gradually
become more marked, examination of
the knee will show a slight swelling,
and if the knee is compared with its
fellow it will perhaps feel warmer to
the hand.
The degree and kind of swelling
vary; usually it is hard and unyield-
ing, and not Of very great size; less
often it is very large and feels like a
distended bladder. 1t always looks
larger than it really is, because the
muscles of the leg and thigh are vast
ed away
The inflammation, if %untreated, may
subside spontaneously after some
months, leaving a stiffened and bent
knee; or it may break down and dis
charge for a very long time, depressing
the patients strength and eventually
causing his death.
The treatment of the disease is two
fold, local and general. TONES, good
foods, cod liver oil OF cream, plenty Of
fresh air and sunlight, and everything
to build up the general health are of
the greatest Importance, for local

patients resisting powers are weak.
o Local treatment consists chiefly in
giving rest to the joint. This is usu-
ally done by casing the leg is a plas-
ter Of Paris %bandage, or by means OF
specially constructed splints. The
splints are often made in such a way
that the patient can go about without

Poultry Briefs.

What price should be charged for
eggs that are sold by men that make
a business Of producing them for
breeding purposes? Without doubt the
price should be about the same as we
see O advertised for eggs Of pure
bred fowls. If a man tries to sell eggs
at too low a rate he will find there is
no profit in them unless he keeps a
very large number of fowls and sue
ceeds in building up a trade that is
larger than the average. A safe bust
S requires that the prices charged
be sufficient to pay all costs and give
a profit.
Scientific men claim that glass in
poultry houses makes them warmer in
the winter both by night and day.
The theory they advance is that the
light waves are so short that they will
pass into the house through the glass,
but are there changed into heat waves
which are too long to again escape
through the glass. They say that thus
it is easier for the heat to get into
the house than to get out of it again.
This being true, it is advisable to give
the poultry houses an abundance u
light.

The Farm Flock.

1t is a certainty that raising eggs is
a paying business. The few fowls
that the farmer keeps in his barnya
and on which he expends but little,
pay best of all his live stock; but
when attention is specially paid to
fowls, when they are properly housed
and fed, and properly attended to,
after deducting the cost of keeping,
care, interest, ETC., from the amount
for which their eggs sell, there is, in
nine cases out of ten, ledger balance
on the credit side of the larger than is
found in connection with any single
department of farm industry.

Learning to Take People at Their Best.

Learning to Take People at Their Best.
One of the greatest lessons in life is
to learn to take people at their best,
not their worst; to look for the divine,
not the human, in them; the beautiful,
not the ugly; the bright, not the dark;
the straight, not the crooked side.
A habit of looking for the best in
everybody, and of saying kindly in
stead of unkindly things about them,
strengthens the character, elevates
the ideals and tends to produce hap
piness. 1t also helps to create friends.
We like to be with those who see the
divine side of us, who see our posi-
bilities, who do not dwell upon the
dark side of our life, but upon the
bright side. This is the office of
true friend, to help US discover our
noblest selves.-Success.

CURIOUS CONDITION CHANGED
BY QUIET.

When jaded by the cares and worries
of this life, when filed with a spirit
of unrest, the best thing imaginable
for the afflicted to do is to HE himself
to new scenes-to the primeval wilds,
in that part of New England known as
the fishing regions, there to enjoy a
period of absolute quiet.
The enjoyment, the complete retire
ment in which one finds himself, is
the best health restorer you can find.
The manipulation hooks, nets and
lines, the sight of a big, wary fish,
anxious for a tussle, and the excite
ment attending the landing of one of
those fine fellows, will drive away the
blues, and every moment of the spring
vacation is one of intense enjoyment.
The regions, or sections, which offer
allurements to the early fisherman are
several, but the most prominent and
conspicuous are the Moosehead and
Rangeley regions though many sports
men prefer the Allegash region or the
territory in Washington County,
Maine, others single out Lake Win
nipesaukee or Memphremagog, or
Sunapee or Champlain, or, perhaps,
some one of the streams or lakesof the
Adirondacks is the choice for the
spring sport.
The Boston & Maine railroad reaches
every section in which spring fishing
is a predominant features, and the
pamphlet, "fishing and huntininge"
gotten out by it's General Passenger
Department, whose offices are in Bos-
ton, Mass, is chockfull of interesting
information which every sportsman
should read, and a two-cent stamp
sent to the above address will procure
it for you.

Increase Your Business.

There is a Wisconsin farmer who
does what great majority of the
people will do in few years. When
he has anything to sell he places a
small ''ad' in the local newspaper and
soon hears from the dealers. When
he wants to buy a horse, cow, or any
thing else, he spends half a dollar for
newspaper space, and everybody in
the neighborhood who wants to sell,
calls on him or writes to him. The
newspaper advertisement saves time
and labor.-Philadelphia Record.

IDEALS AS CHARACTER-BUILDERS.

We are powerfully Influenced by
our ideals. What we admire enters
into the texture of our being, and our
tendency is to become like it. If we
had the power to analyze any individ-
ual, we could tell what books he had
read, we could select the types of his
friends and associates, we could pick
out his heroes; that is, we could tell
by what ideals he was actuated.
We cannot too strongly urge parents
and teachers to impress upon the
young the Importance of hero wor-
ship, of choosing the highest ideals;
for our lives are nodded after the pat
tern of the ideals of our youth. There
is no danger of too much hero wor-
ship, if only the heroes are worthy.
History is full of examples of the
powerful influence of ideals upon our
great men. 1t is said that Alexander
the Great always carried a copy of
Homer's "Iliad" in his pocket, and
that he never tired of reading about
Achilles, the great hero, whom he was
W IOS0mOlO- hdAy d
young man in this country, who has
been inspired, encouraged and stimu-
lated by Lincoln's career, has not only
lived grander life, and made truer
success, because he modelled his life
after that of his hero, but he has de-
veloped many qualities in common
with Lincoln which otherwise might
have lain forever dormant. Many a
young officer in our army is more eff
Gent, because of his imitation of
Grant and Lee, the ideals which haunt
ed his dreams and which have ever
urged him up and on.
No matter if our ideals are so far
above US that we can hardly hope to
attain such heights, the exercise of
reaching up, the struggle, even to ap-
proximate them, increases our power,
broadens our outlook upon life, and
ennobles our characteristic

received a telegram stating that Vice
President Roosf Welt had accepted an
invitation to b present and speak at
the annua btuquet of the league to
be held September 6. The day previ-
Gus he will speak at the Vermont Off
GERS reunion at Burlington.
1t is expected the Fish and Game

considerable credit in securing Vice.
President Roosevelt's visit to Yer
mont. Dr. w. s. Webb has invited
Colonel Roosevelt to be his guest at
Snelburne Farms during his stay in
Vermont and it is probable he will ac-
cept. The securing of Col. Roose-
Welt as a speaker at the banquet of
the Fish and Game League insures
another of its great successes as a
social and political gathering. Col.
Roosevelt's fame as a sportsman is
known from Maine to Oregon and his
hunting tales, published in several
volumes have attained wide popu-
arity.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Mr.. L. @. Willis, mayor of Shelby
vile, Kentucky, and good repub-
lican, who is now in Washington,
thinks the democrats of the state are
recovering from their long attack of
partisan delirium. He said: 81 think
that daylight is coming for our polit-
lean difficulties in Kentucky, and it
to all of our people. The acquittal of
Capt. Ripley, by the jury at Frankfort,
the hot bed of agitation over the kill
ing of Goebel, is sign that the court
and jury are determined to give the
accused man a fair trial. That is all
that anybody on either side can ask.
This action probably forecasts the
acquital of most of the other suspects
who are yet to be tried. There is one
noticeable difference between the
recent trial and those which were held
last year. The Ripley jury were
drawn out of the Wheel as provided
in the Kentucky law, but last year
Judge Cantrill, when the panel was
exhausted, directed the sheriff to
make up the jury. 1t is pretty we'll
understood what kind of a jury
sheriff will get in such cases."

deavor to obtain $4,000 loo ated in

nection with the improvement of the

Work of the United States Department of
Agriculture.


The general public knows very little
of the inestimable service that the
United States Department of Agricul
ture is rendering to agriculture, horti-
culture, and public road building.
The department has made six divis
ions of the country, for the purpose
of studying and giving specific infor-
nation on the kind of roads needed in
each division, and has already given
much assistance to the local authori-
ties in road making. Secretary Will
son recently said: zone of the marvels
of the new century may be an orange
tree, bearing marketable fruit, which
will thrive in the temperate zone"
The hardy citrus trJoIidta has been
brought from Japan, and is crossed
with the Florida orange. Bavarian
hops and Swedish barley are now
growing in the United States. Jap
anese rice, the best in the world is
dourishing in the bottom lands of
Florida, South Carolina, and Louisi-
ana. A kind of cotton which is grown
by irrigation is brought from Egypt
for the arid regions of Texas and
Arizona. In every state there is an
experiment station, and from Alaska
to Florida the department has gardens
for the purpose of learning what sort
of plants are adapted to our various
soils and climates.

New York Central to Control Rutland

1t seems to be pretty conclusively
demonstrated says the Rutland NeaUs
that the New York Central Railroad
company is extensively interested in
the Rutland railroad. A majority of
the directors of the Rutland are now
New York Central men. Rutland
people will note with interest that
President Samuel r. Galloway of the
first named company has been elected
a director of the Rutland corporation,
which gives the Central five members
out of the board of nine.
This makes it appear as if DR.. w.
Seward Webb and the other Wander
bilt interests had secured control Of
the property. Bearing on this point
the following from the New York
Tribune is of special interest:
"There has been of late active buy
ing of Rutland preferred stock on the
Boston Stock exchange, believed to
be for New York Central interests.
Last year the Rutland road earned 8
per cent on the preferred stock, not
withstanding the fact that the COM
pany diverted large part of its traf-
fic for Montreal to the Delaware and
Hudson company which opera tes lines
for Wilkesbarre by way of Albany to
Houses Point. This year the same
traffic goes to Montreal over the Rut-
land Canadian railroad"
