WOODEN MILLS
May Be Secured by Salem, Which Has
Made Bid for Them.-Grafton
Also Wants Them.

The old wooden mills at Webster, Tay-
or county, have been purchased by A.
Philip Hood, OF Grafton, representing a
company OF citizens of that city. Since
the purchase a move is reported to
move them 10 Salem. An offer has been
made, which will be considered by the
purchasers. It is stated that Grafton
also wants the mills, and will also make
an offer. 1t looks as if there will be a
contest between the two places, with
the odds in favor of Salem. The Tele-
gram hopes Salem may be successful in
them, as such industries are
and good for amy town.

SHAPING FOWLS FOR MARKET.

While the main consideration to the
consumer is that the foWl should be
reasonably plump and properly picked, the
large city merchants demand certain
things in the way of packing which the
poultry raiser must carry out if he would
be successful in such markets. One ofathe
things is that the fowls be 'sha ped be-
fore they are packed, ana while this pro-
cess makes Il form that is not particularly

DEADLY PNEUMONIA.
Increase in Death Rate Caused by
Dread Disease.

1850
Public Opinion: During the first six
months of 1904 the percentage Of deaths
from pneumonia compared with the to-
tai number of deaths in the city of
New York was 1873, al increase from
14.7 in the first hall of 1898. This is the
highest rate recorded. the next being
1874 in 1900. In no other year has it
risen above II. The same increase is
shown by decades, the rate n@r thou
of the population from 1864 to 1874
being go, from 1874 to 1884, 2.5I, from
1884 to 1894, 2.9S, A much greater in
crcase is expected for the decade now
ending. Pulmonary tuberculosis is eE-
cluded from these statistics. Last
une the board of estimates and appor-
tionment of New York city appro-
priated $4,000 for an inquiry into the
cauSe and prevention of pneumonia,
and the commission has organized and
begun It's work under the direction of
the New York board of health. The
chairman of the commission is DR.. Will
liam H. Welch of Johns Hopkins uni
verSity, and non the members are
DR.. William Osler of Johns Hopkins,
Dr. 7. NJ. PruGden of Columbia uni
versity, Dr.. Frank Billings of the Uni
versity of Chicago and Dr. Tholnas
Darlington, president, and DR.. II. NJ.
Riggs, general health officer of the New
York health department. The inquiry
will be national in its scope. The prob
lem of prevention of the spread of acute
respiratory diseases was outlined re-
Gently by DR.. Biggs for the New York
Herald:
There can now be no question that
the exciting cause in each one OF the
diseases of this group is a micro-organ-
ism which requires such conditions for
it's growth and MULTIPLICATION as are
found III the living body. These organ
isms practically do not multiply at all
outside of the tissues or cavities OF the
body under natural conditions. The
infection therefore must practically al
Ways be the result Of communication,
directly o. indirectly, from one human
being to another. The conclusion, then,
seems justifiable tina these diseases
are essentially communicable, and
however great the inherent difficulties
Of the problem may be, theoretically
at least, they should be to Il greater OF
less extent p~reventable. The ditfcul'
ties in the problem Of prevention arise
largely from the wide distribution o.

respiratory tract of the inhabitants o
large cities, and probably, also, to
very large extent in the r~espirator!

COLLEGE COURSES FOR FARMERS

Our farmers do not realize the good that
is being lone by the several agricultural
colleges of the country by their short Win
ter courses. Nearly every college devoted
to agriculture in the country has now a
winter course and no one interested IN
agriculture can make better use OF a pof-
ton of the winter than attending one OF
these short courses. We may Shcor at
book farming or scientific farming as we
will, the fact remains chat by the applica-
ton of a little of the scientific
knowledge obtainable at one Of these VIII
ter courses to the practical knowledge al
ready possessed, the road 10 success Will
be much easier to travel. Few OF these
colleges make any charge to the residents
of the state in which it is situated beyond
that for board, and in most of the places
boar I'd can be had for IS or s. a week, so
that SO or 500 at the most will enable
anyone to take this short coure in agri-
culture. The money expended VIII be re-
gained the following season, but beyond
that it will open the eyes Of any farmer,
Dung. middle aged or old, to the possible
ties Of scientific farming which after all
is only another name for intelligent farm
ing. If you, reader, are Interested write
