tural material is manifest as fears of

September sales are 10 per cent. less
than September, 1908, in harness and

tory, and the outlook is brighter.
Chair manufacturers are doing a fair

Wounds in Horses, Feet.

Whenever horse goes lame make
close examination of the foot the very
first thing, as more than three-fourths
of all lameness in horses has it's source
below the pastern joint Clean the
hoof out well, then wash the sole to
soften it and scrape it all over to see
if the horse has picked up q nail or
punctured the sole with sharp stone.
If any wound is found, pare down tho
sole about it and make free opening
down to the quick to allow the es-
cape of any pus that may form.
The next thing to do is to render the
wound thoroughly aseptic, and the
usual agent is carbolic acid While a
. per cent solution is strong enough to
use as a lotion, we use a 10 per cent
solution on hoof wounds, as this
strength slightly cauterizes the sore
and is sure to kill all germs of disease.
After the application of the 10 per
cent solution, wash the wound with
hot water and apply the usual per
cent solution of carbolic acid three
times a day. Never plug up nail
wound with tar, but keep il open and
use the carbolic acid solution as d.
rected.

LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

White People.

Has a Bad Effect on the Health of
White People.
Surgeon w. H. Bucher of the navy,
stationed at Olongapo, P. l., has made
an interesting report to the Navy De-
partment regarding certain peculiar
physical results of prolonged service in
the Philippines. "There are certain
changes" he says, "that take place in
those individuals who are compelled
to live here which are worthy Of not
ing. Some show evidences of this
change early, while in others 1t does
not appear until considerable time has
elapsed. It comes to all, however, in
greater or less degree. The first symp-
tom is loss Of memory and the neces-
sity of using note book to jot down
almost everything. About the same
time an Indifference, so common among
the natives, makes inroads on the for
eigner and a daily battle against ma
mana tendency is necessary to keep it
from interfering with his duties. This
Indifference is not confined to himself.
The dogs in the street move about IN
stupid state, and one is compelled
to stop frequently when driving to pre-
vent running over these animals that
have not concern enough for their well
fare to move when in danger. An ex-
nression is used to designate this con-
dition. Philippinitis. Among the en-
listed force that arrives many are OF
unstable nervous organizations, and In
the process of degeneration these peo-
nle follow the lines of least resistance
Alcoholism. excessive. use Of tobacco
and other excuses are the usual Sig
nails of an impoverished nervous sys-
tenn which, under ordinary c1rcum-
stances, would require no Stimulation
| The drinking Of vino is common among
the enlisted force, and the train OF I'M
fortunate symptoms following this
habit has no doubt been noted by oth-
org with longer experience than mine.
While all these ills cannot be attr1D-
uted to the climate and environment
there is a frequency in their occur
romeo and a manner about the way III
which they are committed that is diff
ferent from that seen elsewhere. II

Succession of Vegetables.

The garden should hold a very i'm
portant place on every we'll regulated
farm. Not only are good fresh fruit
and vegetables desirable from health
standpoint, but they are more econo-
mical than meat and canned goods.
City people pay out large sums OF
money for fruit and garden truck and
then cannot secure it so nice and fresh
as the farmer can have 1t if he will.
At the Epitomist Experiment Station
we have planted at intervals lettuce,
radishes, onions, peas, beans, corn,
cucumbers, cabbage, ETC., and we are
now using fresh peas, lettuce and rad
ishes. just as nice as those grown ear
lisr In the season. Late paintings of
ell these are now coming on, that are
looking fine. assuring a liberal supply
of vegetables until frost or later. 1t
liz not yet too late for planting peas.
radishes, lettuce, turnips, and in case
you have good strong plants, cabbage
may be transplanted. Try crop OF
fall vegetables once and you will likely
follow 1t up In the future.
