Burden Of War Debt.

The debts of nations given in the
World Almanac exceed s30,000,000.
These do not nearly represent the
cost of a century's wars. but only that
portion of the cost which remains un'
paid and charge upon the people.
Only in few cases. like Canada and
New Zealand, does public debt repre-.
sent other than war expenditure, and
these sums are more than balanced by
leftover debts from the eigh

We hear great deal at the present

pedigreed plants. On investigation iG
will be found that the so-called pedi

selected for a number of years. Tho

it comes as a result OF developing new
varieties from the seed, by crossin.

The term should be dropped whero
incorrectly applied. Selecting plants
is one thing and breeding plants

SteriIized Water for Washing Dairy
Dishes.


Dairy utensils should be washed in
water that is sterile as to last ap.
plication. OF course, we do not recon-
mend that hot water be used before the
dishes have had the milk rinsed out
OF them. But water that Is sterile
has been found absolutely necessary
in the washing Of churns and milk
holding utensils, where diseases have
become prevalent or forms of bacte-
rial life that cause taints and stringi-
ness in milk. Recently in a maya
zine appeared an article relative to
the sterilization of water by the appli-
cation of copper sulphate at the rate
of one part of copper sulphate to one
million parts of water. This, 1t is
said, will kill germs in water. AS
copper sulphate is a deadly poison,
we do not advise cur readers to use
1t as described. The use of the pro-
portion given would not endanger life,
but novices cannot be depended on
to confine themselves to prescribed
rules. The chemists will doubtless
provide us with full information in
due time. Meanwhile, the boiling Of
water is the surest way of getting
water that is germ proof, and that is
SO simple process that we have no
hesitancy in recommending it. Dishes
thoroughly heated by means of boil
ing water will not carry Tactic acid
fermoBts from. -~-ili-;--o ---sis-s-o ---l

ness.

AS might be expected, the butter
business of Siberia has been hard hit
by the war between Russia and Ja-
pan. The very first check was the
cutting off of means of transporting
the butter, as the railways were prin.
cipally given over to the carrying OF
troops and supplies. The dairies near
est the line of march did a good bust.
ness for a while selling milk to the
soldiers, but the patrons of creameries
at a distance had no outlet for their
milk. They therefore began to sell
their milch cows to the authorities for
the making of beef for the army, and
in this way very large number of
COWS have been disposed of. The
whole dairy business OF Siberia is re.
ported to be paralyzed. The sale of
all kinds of dairy utensils stopped
completely. and this in turn forced
several dairy supply houses there to
close their doors. The makers of
milk and the sellers of butter in ST.
IBERIA are now said to be idle. 1t will
doubtless take long time to repair
the injury done.

MR.. HAYDEN'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.
Declares That Dr. Williams Pink PHI,
Restored the Use of His Limbs when
All Other Remedies Failed.

All Other Remedies Failed.
The premonitory symptoms Of paraly.
sis are: trembling Of the hands; sudden
loss of power in arms or legs, frequently
affecting one whole side Of the body; stag.
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
sometimes an uncomfortable quivering
Of the chin; severe pains; difficulty in
speech. Frequently the first warning is
a vague feeling of headache, vertigo and
muscular weakness.

Williams Pink Pills are a great medi.
cine for they cured me when physicians
and other remedies had failed TO give

relieved my fever, their treatment did

Some Requisites In sh

Some Requisites in Sheep BREEDING.
To make a success of the breeding
of sheep it is necessary to have ami
mails of good quality and keep them
always in good condition. No matter
how highly bred the sheep may be II
will not be profitable If It be allowed
to get out of condition even for a
short time On the other hand. q
sheep of poor quality never seems to
be in very good condition. It's quality
is against it. The high quality may be
obtained only by breeding to prepo
tent animals of good quality. The
condition depends on the feed and
general care sheep get. Some men
buy sheep Of high quality and fail to
give them good care. They score a
failure. Other men buy sheep of poor
quality and give them good care; but
they also complain that there is no
profit in It, II takes n well-balanced
man to buy sheep of first quality and
then give them first-class care. There
is money in this combination.

Dairy School Attendance.

Reports from Wisconsin saw that

there being 1876 students present.
This number is twenty-five more than
the school has facilities for instruct
ing with ease. When the present
school was built 1t was felt that the
capacity would be great enough for a
long time to come. The attendance
shows the interest Wisconsin farmers
are taxing in scientific matters relat-
ing to dairying. Among the students
this year are some Swiss buttermak-
ers from part of Wisconsin where
cheese of foreign name are being
made. From other parts of the coun-
try come reports of good attendance
in the dairy schools. This is an en-
couraging feature of educational ad
vance. Probably no phase OF farm
life more needs the help Of science
than the dairy, as It is the part of
facm work that touches manufacture
Every state of the Union should
have dairy school, for in every state
OF the Union dairy products are be-
coming important parts of the farm
output. Dairy conventions stimulate
interest but seldom get down to the
foundations of matters in their papers
and discussions, and, If they do, the
people that hear them do not under
stand what is said. But in the case of
dairy schools the students begin at
the foundation and acquaint them

are not now great enough they could
soon be made so.
