She Fought for a Life.

Nurses are among the heroic fighters
OF the world. The Contagious l.Ospi-
tai ut North Brother Island New York,
has recently been the scene OF brave
sacrifice on the part of a young nurse
who displayed that love than which
no man hath greater. She gave up her
life TO save that of child. The New
York sun tells the story:
At the Polytechnic Hospital a little
girl developed an alarming form OF
scarlet fever. 1t was necessary to
remove her to North Brother Island.
and Miss MAILER. graduate of the
Rochester University ana the city
Hospital Training School. volunteered
to go into exile with her. At the is
land diphtheria developed and the case
seemed hopeless. For two weeks, night
and day. ;he untlring nurse fought,
single-handed. and through her Won
derfu skill and unselfSh devotion. at
the end OF that time the little patient
was out of danger.
Then the two grim disea SEES attach
ed the faithful earetaker, and worn
out by the long and ceaseless vigil.
she had no strength with which to re-
sist them.
She refused to be removed to better
quarters. and there, in the very place
where she had conquered for the lit
tie. unknown girl, she fought another
battle and this time was overcome.
Like every brave nurse. she had taken
the risk. knowing and counting well
the cost. and she accomplished her
purpose. for the child was saved.

Milking by Electricity.

A report comes from arnany that
they are milking cows Il ere by eec-
tricity. Rubber hoods attlched to the
udder of the cow are connected with
the milk receptacle by a rubber tube
from which the air is exhausted by an
electric pump. 1t is claimed that the
suction thus secured resembles very
closely the sucking of a calf. and that
for this reason the cow "lets down
her milk more freely than when hand
MIXED. Absolute cleanliness for the
milk is also claimed for the method.

Meaning Pigs.

We have never been able TO undec-
stand the great haste to wean pigs
that is so often shown. If the SOW
had to work like the mare there might
be some reason for early weaving, or
if her milk could be utilized like the
cows, but neither inducemept is pres
ent in the case of the SOW, unless she
is bred very soon after narrowing,
which is not good practice, as a rule,
Eearly weaving of pigs often produces
q shock TO them and the mother that
there is no occasion for, and often
does great harm. We like to have pigs
suckle the dam about as long as she
has milk for them. In the meantime
they have learned to eat what the
mother does and when deprived
of their natural food from natures
founts they do not miss it and lose not
pounds weight. The dam, too, is
then in condition to be dried off
without pain or danger of milk fever
or any other ailWcnt that a too early
weaving may produce. And finally. at
no time in its life does the pig make
as rapid gain at as little cost as dur
ing the nursing period; then why not
make that period a long rather than a
short one?-Farm, Stock and Home.

the Dairy.

1t has been truthfully claimed that
the dairy business removes less ferttl-
ity from the soil than any other. Pro
fessor Curtiss. of Iowa, made a state
ment recently that in selling a thou
sand dollars worth of wheat one re-
moved $3.50 worth of fertility from the
soil, Of corn. $3.50 worth; but Sl.000
worth of corn can be converted into
beef. pork or mutton for market and
not remove more than So worth of
fertility with it. BY converting S1.o0O
worth OF feed into butter, not sin
gle dollars worth Of fertility will be
removed. Butter Is almost wholly

The grass on the roadside belongs
to the owner of the land. Land that
has been set apart for highway pur-
noses has not been sold or decided
away. as with railroad, but has only
been loaned for public use. Anything
IN the land. such as trees, wells, grass.
etc. that do not in any way Interfere
with travel. belong TO the man who
owns the land. This is the law in all
States. When the road is discontinued
the land reverts to the original owner.
The owner of the land can do nothing
that will district or interfere with
travel

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get "a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands Of
cases, turned the balance in
favor OF health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS EmuT-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.
