New Treatment for Appendicitis.

A German correspondent reports the
successful treatment of. appendicitis by
means of "collangol,' a pure silver solu-
ton in water. The antiseptic property
Of silver has long been known, as, for
instance, in the form of lunar caustic.
which has also been administered inter
nally. Based upon this knowledge, sue
cessful experiments have been made by
some noted physicians through the use of
the soluble, non-irritating and non
poisonous silver in suppurative diseases.
like puerperal fever. Collangol has been
used in the treatment of appendicitis,
both internally and externally, and has
yielded extraordinary good results
Within two or three days after treat
ment a decided improvement was notice,
able in inciDient cases. In cases where
an inflammation Of the peritoneum had
taken place, q cure was slow. 1t is
claimed that this treatment is very much
superior to any other.

Cost in Crop Raising.

The generation of agriculturists
doubtless does not fully realize the diff
ference between the efficiency of hand
and machine labor. Here are two com
parsons made by the United States
Bureau of Labor:
To produce 100 bushels of barley it
took 911.94 hours of labor seventy
years ago; to-day, with the aid of ma
chinery, it takes 9.04 hours.
To produce 100 bushels of oats it
took 265 hours in 1880; by machinery
it takes $3.50 hours.
Seventy years ago agriculture was
impossible away from the Atlantic sea-
board. Fifty years ago grain was har-
vested with the aid of the cradle and
threshing was done with the fail
Within the last two decades not only
the expense of labor, incidental to crop
growing, has been minimized to a large
extent but the process is still going
on. Farming was drudgery it is now
an employment for the intelligent man.

Farm Tools.


They cost money. It sometimes
seems as if we cannot spare the means
to get what we ought to have in this
line, so we go on working with the old
spike-tooth harrow and the poor old
plow to the end Of the chapter.
This is question that involves two
or three considerations. If by pur-
chasing good tools we can increase the
efficiency of the place, should we hest
tate to invest in them? Seems to me
not. Take the matter Of good pillow,
With such a tool we can certainly get
better crops than we can by using an
inferior tool. 1t may set hard to fork
over the money to buy the better imple-
ments, but look at the result. In a few
years we have done SO much better
work on the farm that we have the
money to buy other needed tools.
Next buy a first-class harrow. This
will still further increase the value of
the farm crops. Little by little. and all
without feeling as If we might if we
made a grand. rush for the tools we
feel we must have, we find ourselves
we'll equipped for business.
We cannot do everything we would
like to do In single year. Let us not
for that reason be discouraged and do
nothing at all. 1t is a long time from
one end Of life's road to the other with
some Of US. Step by step we may work
ahead; but if we do not take the step
we never will get very far ahead.-E.

Waste of Soil Fertility.

1t is estimated by some Of the lead.
ing agricultural chemists that the
worlds supply Of phosphorus a very
important and essential element of
plant food, and without which no
plants can be grown, will, under our
present wasteful system Of agricul-
ture, be exhausted within the next
fifty years, says Dean II. ]. Waters,
Of the Missouri College Of Agriculture.
The stupendous waste Of soil fertility
that has occurred In this and other
countries In the past must be speedily
checked. This means that new sys-
tenn Of agriculture which economies
the plant food in the soil without, dl-
minishing the yield or the value Of
the crops produced, is being developed:
In other words, this system will. take
thought of the future as we'll as of the
present productiveness of the land.
This means that the farmers of the
future must be acquainted with the
soil and understand how to manage
it so as to secure the largest yield with
the least injury to his land.

it of considerable advantage to affix a

TO FIX RACE SUICIDE BLAME.
Statistician in Massachusetts, Makes
Plans for Inquiry.

Chief Statistician Charles T. Pidgin
Of the Massachusetts bureau of census
and statistics has decided to investigate
the race suicide question and make a
complete report to the next legislature.
With this in view he has arranged to
send out a corps of census men to ask
questions of men of small families. The
move is an adjunct to that Of gathering
the census and, although the latter has
been completed, the same men are to be
used as baby finders Chief Pidgin. be-
lieves that the fact that the population
does not increase is to be blamed more
upon men who refuse to wed than upon
small families
He says the only way to get satisfac-
tory statistics on the race suicide uues-
ton is to base them on married women
ana. ne IS acting ngthat theory Hav-
birth period with married women of
the state he will pursue his investiga-
tons further and prove that the race
suicide charge should be laid to the
doors Of those men who refuse to marry.
