In 1880 Il royal decree was issued pro-

quently repealed to admit American

The trichnae argument is still used
today in Germany by men engaged in
the butcher business TO prejudice the

passes but some one comes forward
with Il proposal for the establishment
of a similar method of inspection for

THE WHY OF CULTIVATION.

Every farmer, ana particularly he
who has taken care and pains to secure
and plant the very best seed corn 1t
was possible for him to obtain, should
realize that this Is but the first step in
raising n bumper crop of corn. When
it is understood that for every pound
of growth in dry matter made by the
plant from 300 to 800 pounds of water
is pumped up from the soil through
its root system we realize more fully
the Importance and mission Of thor
ough cultivation which keeps the
ground in that mellow condition most
favorable TO proper circulation of
soil, air and moisture and prevents
that baking of the surface of the
ground which every farmer knows
from his own experience is disastrous
to the growing crop. In what we may
call the philosophy of soil cultivation
the killing of weeds is but very sec
ondary object. Were there no weed
seeds in the soil the reasons for care
full cultivation would still remain.
Hardly a reader of these notes but can
recall from his own experience cases
in which he has harvested from five to
fifteen bushels more corn per acre from
that portion OF the field that was given
an extra cultivation. The difference in
yield was due simply to the fact that
the cultivation OF the soil enabled the
growing corn to utilize supply of
moisture ut critical period in its de-
velopment 1t is because OF this fact
that cultivation of field of corn just
caring with a single horse cultivator
tends to offset drought effects and is
labor that fetches very large returns
And because all titled crops develop
under very similar conditions the prin
ciple is one that applies with equal
force to all of them. The planting of
good seed is of utmost Importance. A
proper cultivation of the soil is none
the less so. Both should go hand in
hand

NATURE is KIND.
Sensations Of Those Who Fall From
Any GrGas Height.

"Persons who fall from any great
height have little or no recollection
of their sensations during the actual
falling period" remarked the am
bulance surgeon as he finished put
ting the arm of an accident victim
in splints. Sometimes they know
what started their fall, but the man
ner and sensation of falling is al
ways blank to them. 1t seems al
most as if nature was kind enough
to dull their senses, SO that they
would have no horrible sensations.
yesterday | was called to man
who had fallen thirty feet from a
roof. He was seemingly conscious
when we picked him up, but he
could not remember the process of
his fall. He remembered that he
stepped on nail, which started his
tumble, but he did not remember
that he grabbed at an caves trough
and that he tried to jab his jack
knife into the shingles. But a fell
low workman saw him do those
things. When my mother fell down.
stairs there was every indication
that she tried to grasp the banister,
that she did save herself for an in
slant the fourth stair from the bot
tom and that when she finally
reached the floor she turned COM
plete somersault. But she remem-
bered only that she stepped on her
dress and pitched down.
"Another man who fell from
roof had the presence of mind to
push against projection SO that
he landed on roof twenty feet be-
low. But he had no recollection of
that fact. He merely remembered
that the scaffolding broke. Often
times fall is accompanied by a
somersault in the air, a hurting
against some projection which
breaks the fall and grabbing at
things; but, although the victim
may be conscious when he is picked
up, he has no remembrance of these
things. His path downward seems
to be an utter blank to him. really
believe it is natures method of pre-
venting falling person from be-
coming hopelessly crazed." = New

Travelling In Asia.

For travelling over the rolling
plains of Central Asia a Chinese
version of the Russian tarantass is
used, to which in Russia three
horses are usually harnessed abreast.
Mongolians, however, know nothing
about driving. So they fix a bar
across the shafts, and a mounted
man on either side, taking the end
of this on his saddle bow and press
ing it against his chest, sets off at
full gallop. Another pair tug in
front at rope traces attached to the
shafts, and couple of horsemen
hook on to the sides of the carriage.
In this way it is said that fifteen
miles an hour can be covered with
out difficulty. But it is trying work
for the nerves.
Engrayers in Germany harden
their tools in sealing wax. The tool
is heated to whiteness and plunged
into the wax, withdrawn in an in
stant and plunged in again, the
process being repeated until the
steel is too cold to enter the wax.
The steel is said to become after
this process almost as hard as the
diamond, and when touched with a
little oil or turpentine the tools are
excellent for engraving purposes,
and they are able to pierce the hard
est metals.
