WEIGHT Of a Growing Child.

The weight Of q growing child Is the
most important index to its general
health. The standard Of weight for
growing children, that usually given
BY authorities In the matter, Is that at
FIVE years Of age child should weigh
about US many pounds rs 1t is inches
high. As rule, this will not be much
over or under forty pounds. Children
who come of large parents should
weigh something more than that. The
rate of increase should be about two
pounds for every inch Of growth. with
q tendency for the weightet ito exceed
this standard proportionately rather
than to fall below It. When child Is
rather heavier In proportion to Its
height than this standard 1t Is sign
Of good health. II the child is growing
rapidly It should not be allowed to fall
much below It without being made to
rest more than has been the custom be-
fore. A deficiency OF weight In proper
ton to height is always an unfavOrable
sign. Any interruption In the progress
of increase of weight, especially dur
ing the continuance Of growth, must
be n danger signal that should not be
neglected by those interested In the pn-

pay, so took to politics. To-day it is q
different thing-this business of farm
work-from what it was half century
ago. 1t calls for more study and pays
better profits, besides being more edu'
cative and broadening.
This is the story of the success one
man has acieved in Is years, and now, at
middle age, he is taking solid comfort
with his wife and five children up there
on the Paris hills. Nowhere Is the all
more bracing, nowhere is the scenery
more attractive than at this spot, where
the eve can take in the wide sweep to the
south, west and north, and then turn
for inspiration to the grand old mount.
aims of western Maine, surpassed only
by the peaks of Mt. Washington, Mt.
Adams, and Mt. Jefferson towering 81
miles away on New Hampshire soil.
Their majestic splendor is rivalled only
by the calm beauty of the intervening
valleys and meadow.
Here in near touch by mail and tele-
phone to the outside world, he can seek
the best in life, and, reader, what more
is life than always to be moving upward
physically, mentally and morally?
We hope soon to learn more about the
methods of feeding and cultivation en-
ployed by Mr.. Stearns and we hope also
to present the story of success attained
by other farmers. While he is always
ready to help others he is also glad to
get points for his own use. If in oul
columns we can by such methods as this
awaken deeper enthusiasm and cultivate
tendency for the interchange of ideas
for mutual help, our purpose will be
served.-Maine Farmer.

early this morning at the hotel
made ND my mind to den0unce him
suddenly If l had the chance, risking

Dungloss stared Mt him for q moment,
then threw up his hands and walked
away, shaking his head, whether IN
stupefied admiration or utter disbelief
no one knew. The others covered An
guish with compliments, and he was
more than ever the hero Of the day.
Such confidence paralyzed the people.
The only one who was not overcome
with astonishment was his country

Things Injurious to Hogs.

Thereare number of common things
not usually suspected of being injurious
that are in reality fraught with danger
to swine, says the Farmers Review.
While, for instance. salt may be given to
hogs in fair quantities with impunity
and the same may be said of saltpeter, 1t
is fact that brine proves deadly when
thrown into the swill barrel or kitchen
slop. The exact reason for this is un-
known, but there is something deadly
about the combination that surely sets
up inflammation of the bowels and fatal
enteritis. This is also true of kitchen
slop in some instances. In the old DAYS
it was a noninjurious custom to feed
dishwater to swine, but of late, since
soap powders came into such general
use, this cannot be done with impunity
and indeed has often led to the most
fatal results. Hotel and restaurant swill
is the most dangerous and those who
remove refuse from such places should
always make sure that soap powders are
not used. The Importance of so doing
is emphasized by the fact that we have
known of several deadly outbreaks of
so-called cholera or swine plague which
proved to be enteritis, due to the poison
in city swill. We note, too, that an
English writer claims that the water in
which potatoes have been boiled is quite
injurious to young pigs. The potato
belongs to the order Solanacee and con-
tains an active poison known as Solanin.
This is largely found in the skins of sun
greeued potatoes and these should be
avoided as food for man and beast alike.
This writer also makes statement
which is new to us in some respects,
but possibly true. He says: "Miik in
one stage of putrefaction is exceedingly
dangerous. Not ordinary sour milk
this is one of the best foods-but when
skim milk is kept in bulk there comes a
time when milk sugar develops oxalic
acid Tone of whose chief elements is
sugar., while fermentation in like man
ner develops form of alcohol. the com
bination of raw spirit and powerful
acid proving very deadly, even small
quantity generally causing death almost
directly" We do not at this writing
know that the assertions made here
about oxalic acid, etc., are correct but it
is fact that slop from old, sour, stink
ing swill barrels does prove injurious,
although owners do not usually attribute
the trouble to this cause. Another very
common source of danger is medicine.

Suggestions Regarding Insecticides
ARsENICAL AND NoN-ARsENICAL pol
SONS.

Paris green is the standard poison con-
tanning arsenic. There are many brands
in the market, none of which according
to our experience are deficient in arse
mic. As some brands contain uncombin-
ed arsenious acid, freshly Stacked lime
should always be applied with the Paris
green unless it is used with Bordeaux
mixture. Arsenate of lead is more eX-
pensive than Paris green but adheres
better to foliage. Four pounds OF arse
nate of lead carries about the same
amount of arsenic as one pound of Paris
green.
Full directions for using Paris green
and arsenate of lead for potatoes or Or
chards will be sent upon application to
the Station.
There are a number of insecticides o n
the market, such as Black Death, Dead
Shot, English Bug Compound, Ham
mond's Slug Shot, KnO-bug and Quick
Death that depend upon arsenic for their
value rs insecticides. These consist
chiefly of Paris green u to 4 per cent?
mixed with plaster, coal dust, or some
other '"filler" and for practical purposes
may be regarded as badly adulterated
Paris green. Their cost per pound is
considerably less than that of pure
Paris green but the poison they carry
costs the consumer from to 10 times as
much rs it would if he were to buy a
good green and mix it with the inert
materials. While these goods are sell
dom labelled "Poison" they are, never
theless, poisonous and should be handl,
ed as carefully as Paris green and kept
out of the way of children and animals;
Bug Death is the only poison in at all
common use which does not carry arse
mic. 1t consists chiefly of oxide OF
zinc, and is much less dangerous and
active poison than any that carry arsenic
1t requires from 50 to so pounds of Bug
Death to do the work of one pound OF
kParis green. Its cost per pound is
about one-third that of Paris green.

Station, which discusses these insecti-
cides at considerable length, will be

country house. Chatting with the WIS.,
itor, the woman of the house told OF
her difficulty in getting along and OF IN
experience she had had with bOarder.
"The first morning this man stopped
here" she said, ''he began to eat boiled
eggs very greedily. Egg after egg he
ate-three. four. FIVE, six-and 1t was
only the yolk Of them that he swal-
lowed; the white he didn't bother with

At last she appeared, and he hasten

Slowly they paced the wide balcony,

ows, her hand resting on his arm, his
clasping 1t gently. Lorry talked but
little, she not at all, and yet they un-
derstood each other.

II cannot tell you why. 1t seems to

There Is q group Of islands to the
south Of New Zealand called the Sis-
ters, or Seven Sisters, which are re-
puted to be s@,jected to practically
constant rainfall. The same may b
said Of the islands and mainland Of II

ence that the rain often takes the form
Of sleet and snow. On a line running
round the world from degrees to 8 OF
0 degrees there are patches over which
rain seldom ceases to fall. This =
called the zone Of constant precipita'
tion," but at the same time there are
several localities along with 1t with
very little rainfall.
