NEW CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
Good Effects Reported from Exposure
to Cold, Pure Air.

10 0StOf FutC AIT.
A good deal has been heard in the
last few years about the beneficial
influences of cold, fresh air on con-
sumptiye patients. This sort of treat
ment, in the right hands. gives bet
ter results than any other. though it
is usual to accompany it with hearty
feeding And now the same story is
being told about victims from another
disease whose progress is much more
rapid and which for some time has
caused more deaths than .consump-
ton.
DR.. John joseph Dunn, of the Ford
ham HosDit:!, in iris city, reported
last week that he had put thirty pa
tients out in tents siace November
l, and only one had died. Even in
that case the result might have been
due to complications with another dis
ease cerebro-spinal meningitis. 1t is
now announced that the same sort of
treatment has been tried with sue
cess at the Presbyterian Hospital,
in New York. So well pleased are
the managers that they are going to
increase their facilities for admins
tering it, The patients, who are
mostly children, are put out on the
roof of the building; but better provi-
sion than is now available is needed
there. DR.. Fisher, the superintendent
says:
1--WE are not gong to put up any
glass Enclosures on the roof, for that
would not be outdoor treatment. We
are simply going to remodel some of
the roofs, put in floors and arrange
awnings so that the patients, while
remaining in the open air, may be
moved to get the sun and be sheltered
from harmful winds.
We can accommodate perhaps
dozen children on the roof now. When
the alterations are complete we will
be able to provide for twice thar
number, and will have more room in
which to move them around. Now
we are only able to take children on
the roof, because the door will not
allow beds with persons in them to
be moved there Children can be
picked up and carried without any
serious results. When we make the
changes we will be able to take adult
patients on the roof Now we treat
them by moving them into small
rooms where the windows may be
kept open, but we have not enough
rooms to accommodate all of the adult
pneumonia patients in that way.
All cases of pneumonia which have
been treated with this open air treat
ment have responded so finely that
the doctors believe they have made
a great step forward. OF course, it
has been tried for so brief time
that we have not compiled any sta
tistics on the subject, but we are keep
ing all information about the cases
in great detail with view to compil-
ing statistics that will be of great
value to the medical professionals

Latest Erg-Layinx Contest.

The latest egg laying contest is that

Pastnring on Clover.

This is a question where the value of
the clover has to be considered and a
safe rule to work out is to keep the
hogs out of the clover at all times
until, In the course of rotation, the
clover is to be plowed under the follow
Tag spring; in that event, let the swine
get all the good they can out of such
pasture 1t is not an easy task to bring
hogs up on pastures of clover, without
injury to the soil or without any par
ticuIar profit. If the clover field is well
set and the first seasons growth is
strong, yielding a good harvest, the
hogs will benefit the ground if they are
turned on to the clover the fall and
winter before it is to be turned under.

1t is very evident that tenant farm

should. The statistics show that the
number of rented farms is or the in
crease. That is not the worst feature
of tenant farming. AS a rule brt very
little is done to keep up the fertility of

the tenant getting ali he can from the

this system continues much longer
there will be a great many farms in
the future that will be most difficult

nrere Farms and Greater crops

More Farms and Greater crops.
From 1890 to 1900 the number of
farms in the United States increased
from 4,564,641 to 5,739657, and the
value of farms and farm property from
$16,082, 267. 900 TO $20,514O01, 1888.
The census is taken every ten years.
From 1870 to 1880 the increase in
farms was 1.34S,992, totals being 2,659,-
9S5 and 4o,00S.907 respectively The
number of persons engaged in agricul-
ture on the 5,739,657 farms in 1900 Is
given as 10,43S,219. During the past
two or three years, and more especially
the past year, a great expanse of new
farming land was opened up in the
Northwest, so that by the time the next
census is taken it is expected the total
number of farms in the United States
will be close to 100000. With the
rapid increase in establishing new
farms and methods tending to more
intensive farming. and the production
of more grain and product from every
acre titled by scientific methods that
are now being taught and practiced, the
agricultural productions of this coun-
try should keep we'll apace with our
