PrOats IN Medicinal Plans.

One Of the results Of the re-
cent announcement Of a growing
shortage in the supply Of domes-
tic medicinal plants is an agita-
ton among drug manufacturers
and dealers in favor of a cam
.paign of education among the
farmers to teach them that there
is profit in raising for sale many
of the plants which they now
perSistently destroy as noxious
weeds. 1t is said that the sup
ply of domestic vegetable drugs
has become so small that we are
now importing every year fully
SIG, 900, 900 worth Of drugs which
were formerly produced from
plants gathered in this country.
Among these are drugs which
are produced from plants which
are found growing wild in large
quantities in this country, but
the value of which the farmers
fail to realize. Some of them
are the common dandelion, bur-
dock, couch grass and curly dock;
common golden seal, one of the
most valuable of medicinal
plants, which to-day is bringing
rs cents a pound, but is being
exterminated as a pest by farm
ers all over the country; senega
or snake root; common sage,
belladonna, henbane and stra-
monium.
And all around US on ourplains
and up in the mountains are
medicinal plants and shrubs that
some day will be proftably cult
waited by our gardeners. The
Damiana, Ojase, Caniteah, and
many other plants growing in
this country, will some day come
to the front, and even the de-
spiSed loco weed has its possibili-
ties as cure for human ills.

Semi-Arid Lands.

Our region is only semi-arid.
Already, denizens of land more
arid than ours have transformed
them into green and prolific
ranges, supporting fifty cattle
where formerly they would not
support one. Here is a problem
for our progressive men, the I'M
Kidding of which will pay well.
The government is ready to aid
in its proper solution. Already
a number of our most enterpris-
ing men are taking up the mat
ter in earnest. Can the wide
surrounding mesas, which in
good years yield a harvest of
grass, be sown with seed that
will bear productivity through
out any year? Assuredly they
can. How long will the solution
of the problem be delayed?

Favorable Prospects.

If it is true that the condition
of the farmers in this country is
a sure index of national pros
perity, we certainly have reason
to be confident for the coming
year,
The farmers of the United
States were never in such good
shape financially as today. They
have had a succession of crops
and profitable prices, while land
has been steadily increasing in
value. They enter the busy
spring season of 1906 with high
hopes, and if the elements are
favorable their industry and
good management will greatly
increase the balance on the right
side Of the ledger when the ac-
counts for 1906 are cast up. All

Society women usually mani
fest an honest and really earnest
desire to be we'll preserved. vari-

here is the latest, and who can
doubt its efficacy?

Traffic in Human SKIN.

The skin grating experiments
which have been so successful of
recent years have lead to a new
form of livelihood, which is fair
ly remunerative. Several of the
London hospitals have on their
books the names and addresses
of many men and women who
have undertaken to sell portions
of their cuticle whenever the me-
cessity arises, and it is said that
quite a regular traffic is now be-
ing done in the buying and SELL
ing of human skin. The persons
who are willing to sacrifice their
pelts for money are by no means
confined to the poor and desti-
tute class. London Mail.
If the above process had been
known fifty years ago, the need.
ed gratis might have been OBJ
tanned without money and with
out price. What the old he pc
dagogues clicked off the backs
of their scholars" would have
made the supply exceed the de-
mand.
