THE "SLEEPING SICKNESS"
Experiments I'm Uganda Tend to Prove
That 1t IS Comm unicated by
the TSetse Fly.

The British authorities in Uganda
are making great efforts to discover
the source of the terrible Sleeping
sickness" which periodically decimates
the natives OF that territory and other
parts Of Africa. and, if possible, to find
a means Of preventing it's spread, says
the New York Times. In May last year
the Royal society dispatched commits
sion to Entebbe. Uganda. for the pur-
pose of investigating the disease, and
early this year second commission
was sent from England for the same
purpose.
The conclusions Of the joint commits
sion are now available through the
publication of progress report. This
shows that the disease is caused by
minute parasite in the blood, which
could not be conveyed from man to
man. Consequently suspicion fell upon
the tsetse fly. a species of which, sim

was found abundant in Uganda, and
experiments are now in progress to set
tie whether the Uganda tsetse carries
In It's blood the identical parasite
which is peculiar to the disease, and
whether it can pass it to an animal.
One rather tentative experiment
seems to show this, and it is expected
that the truth or falsity of the theory
Will soon be determined.

Annie Barrels Needed.

One of the annoying circumstances
in connection with our apple trade in
Maine this year has been the lack of
barrels. 1t has been well nigh impossi-
BILE to get barrels at any reasonable price.
and in more than one case farmers have
given up trying to ship their apples for
this reason. On more than one occasion
the Journal has spoken of this matter
and urged the necessity of better sys-
TEN. As the matter now stands every
thing is haphazard. The farmer who
raises large crop of apples is obliged
to run around and pick up dirty flour
barrels wherever he can chance to find
them The fruit placed in such barrels
presents diSagreeble appearance when
opened, and often is the means of secur-
ing much lower price in the market.
This is all wrong. There should be a
new standard barrel uniform in size and
that can be sold for twenty-five cents.
In our judgment the first cooper that
will place such barrel upon the market
will command an immense trade. All
over Knox and Waldo counties casks are
made and hauled many miles to Rock
land where they are sold for fifteen
cents. Now if cooper can afford to do
this he can afford to make one third
better for twenty-five cents. We believe
that such barrel as our orchardists re,
quire can be made for that money and at
a profit to the maker. Something of
this kind should be done, and it should
be done at once. By all means let us
have an improved method of barreling
our apples and shipping them to market.

Feed Instead of Bree d.

The famous dairy expert, Blackwell,
once gave ten rules for the care of dairy
cows, and of this number six referred in
some manner to the feed given them,
showing that, in his mind at least, feed
was much more important than anything
else in the handling of the dairy. Much
complaint is being made by dairymen
that some of their cows are not profit
able, aud while, in many cases, the troub-
lie is due entirely to some poor individuals
in the herd which may be discovered by
weighing the milk of each COW and keep,
ing record of it, there is no doubt but
that poor feeding is at the bottom of the
trouble in many cases. 1t is frequently
found that an animal which is loss in
the hands of Brown is profitable when
Jones gets hold of the cow. In such
cases it is evident that the method OF
feeding or the food itself was wrong in
the first case. Dairymen who are COM
planning of their cows and thinking OF
bringing about improvement by chang
ing the breed will do well to study the
question of feed and see il they are not
making some mistakes in that direction.

Six Curious Feast Days That Usher
In the New Year.
The first day of the Chinese New
Years feasts is called Birds day (KRy-
Yat and is supposed to bring to mind
the utility of the feathered tribes as
food. On this day all orthodox Chinese
abstain from eating flesh, and they
sometimes observe it as day Of fast
ing. The second day is Dogs day Cku-
Yap. This day is especially held Sc
cred to the canine hosts Of the Flowery
Kingdom. The Chinese, notwithstand-
Ing the fact that they eat the flesh OF
the dog ana esteem it great delicacy,
honor their dogs more highly and take
better care Of them than any other race
Of people. In every large Chinese city
there is a workman whose sole trade Is
that Of making collins for departed
CANNES.
The third day, Hogs day (Chen-Yao,
Is celebrated in honor of hog that

is Cows day (New-Yau. This day is

orphan who afterward became rich and
built the celebrated Temple Of Cows.
The sixth day is Ma-Yat, or Horse day,

warner'H Elusive Humor.

Presumably 1t was because his liter
ary gift had been long taken in the
measure of those acquainted with it
that the event of its larger public dis
covery-rather by accident, as 1t SEEM
ed-was little impressed on his friends
as marking anything in the nature Of a
turning point in his career. To them
he was nothing new, nothing different
from what he had been. The humor
which to the world Of book readers
was now fresh delicacy was to their
taste familiar. Hardly ever had there
been an editorial of his and never n
letter without some delectable touch or
tincture of 1t. But 1t was always, from
first to last, q more observable feature
Of his speech than Of his writing. No
where else did it come so fully out as
in his common talk. To such degree,
as there expressed, was its SAVIOR con-
tributed by look, air, tone, that not
much Of an idea Of 1t can be given in
words. One can think, but cannot tell,
how it sounded. Thus the force and
flavor Of what | once heard him reply
to an outburst against spell Of bad
weather-"Respecting weather, | have
always noted that there is nothing be-
sides about which so much is said and
SO little done"-mostly fail to be re-
produced in the verbal report of 1t.

Dairy Cows and Expensive Feeds

How can the dairyman best manage his
dairy at present prices of feed and Sc
cure the most profit is very important
question, a problem much harder TO
solve, perhaps, under our present con-
ditions than for many years. In the
first place we will have to make this the
weaving year. That is to say, the aver
age dairy farmers will have to wean
themselves from the old familiar faces
in their barnyards, those which they
have been keeping as boarders just for
their company and old associations, and
from which there is no profit even when
feed is selling at reasonable prices.
Those who have found it more profitable
this winter to dispose of many to the
butcher as soon as their milk How fell
below the amount which paid for food
consumed, without waiting for them to
60 dry, and perhaps others, either at once
or in the spring about the time to turn
into pasture. 1t is true we who have
registered herds cannot do this, as we
could not afford to dispose of cows OF
this kind as at such prices we would be
compelled to take; besides, we could not
find others to take their places as with the
natives and grades. But we can do the
next best thing, when ouricows get along
toward the last stages of lactation where
we call them suffers, and are not giving
enough to pay us anything over the cos,
of the grain fed, let them go dry and
feed only ensilage or other roughase,
milking and granting only those which
are giving paying quality.-Geo. L..

Notable PnintinE Es.

Probably the smallest painting ever
made was the work Of the wife OF q
Flemish artist. 1t depicted mill with
the sails bent. the miller mounting the
stairs with sack of grain on his back.
Upon the terrace where the mill stood
was cart and horse, and on the road
leading to it several peasants were
shown. The picture was beautifully
finished, and every object was very dis
tnct, yet it was so amazingly small
that its surface so the story goes,
could be covered with grain of corn.
