HOT AND COLD WATER.
How to Use These Remedies to the
Best Advantage.

How to Use These Remedies to the
Best Advantage.
Hot or cold water is excellent as an
application for Inflammation, conges-
tions or abrasions, but how many peo-
pie know which to apply in particular
cases while awaiting the arrival Of
medical relief? Not many, and the mis-
takes made in some instances are lu-
dicrous.
Take the barber, for example, who
has cut his patrons face. He generally
washes the face with towel soaked
in warm water, often pressing it right
into the injury, and then wonders why
the blood flows from the cut so freely
In ninety-nine cases out of hundred
If he had used cold water and the
colder the better, the blood would
have ceased to flow from the injury al.
together, as the cold would have ten.
dency to contract the openings in the
torn blood vessels. In all cases of such
cuts or abrasions very cold water will
at least reduce the amount of bleeding
if it doesn't stop it altogether, and yet
singularly enough, boiling water will
have the same effect.
Water below the boiling point in
creases the flow, but above that de-
gree decreases 1t. In surface infamma-
lions or COMPOSITIONS cold water ought
to be used, while if the condition is sit
uated below the surface hot water is
necessary as an application because it
draws the blood toward the surface
and thus stimulates the circulation
through the part where it is most
needed.
In cases of assesses or pimples
with pus forming in them, but which
have not yet come to head, the secre-
ton Of pus can be rapidly increased
and the duration Of the annoyance
thereby decreased by applying hot wa.
ter to them at frequent intervals.
Where the eye is infiamed or smarts,
after a period Of eye strain, such as
night work often induces, hot appli-
cations are the things for relief, but
the water used should be gradually
allowed to cool off toward the end.
Tired eyes will invariably be rejuve-
mated by adopting this method of treat
ment, and many headaches resulting
from such a condition may thereby be
prevented or cured.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

WHAT FOREST TREES TO PLANT.

| A reader of these notes residing in
the northern part of the writer's home
state writes an interesting letter In
which he takes exception to recent
article which appeared in this depart
ment in which the soft maple was rec
commended as the most practical tree
to plant with a view to securing a
grove that would make a quick growth
and insure supply of fuel of fairly
good quality. For the purpose named
we see no reason for revising the rec
ommendation as made. Assuming a
different ultimate object in the plant
ing of grove, which our correspond
ent does, we agree quite fully with
him in his suggestions. His view in re
gard to tree planting is that, barring
shade trees, no tree should be planted
which will not ultimately produce a
saw log, this because Of the increasing
scarcity of timber and consequent In
crease in price. For this reason he
holds that every farmer should prepare
for the future and take precautions
which will insure him supply of lum-
Der at the end Of a period of twenty
five or thirty years. For this purpose
he thinks no tree will compare with the
cottonwood, which under favorable
conditions will make growth Of three
fourths of an inch in diameter annual
ly. In thirty years. time this would
give tree large enough so that it could
be sawed into material especially
adapted for the inside Of barn build
ings. He recommends planting the in
side rows with black walnut, few
rows on either side with cottonwoods.
with European larch on the outside
In his own words: "All are moderate
~ fast growers. In twenty years time
the larches would be ready to sell for
telephone poles, in thirty years the cot
tonwoods would be valuable for the
purposes above mentioned, and at any
period later the walnuts would be rap.
idly increasing in value. They should
all be planted thick enough so that
they would grow tall and the lower
branches fall off and be trimmed to a
height of twenty or thirty feet. gradual.

gestion that is timely For the man
who is willing to wait the length Of
time necessary the plan our correspond
ent suggests is admirable and his sug-
gestion as to the varieties of trees de-
sirable for planting excellent, but we
fear for the average farmer it requires
too high type of horticultural faith,
which, while commendable, is of rare
occurrence, but which perhaps for that
reason needs every possible encourage
ment. For the man who has faith
and is willing to wait the plan of tree
planting suggested is first rate; for the
one who feels he cannot wait so long
and does not have in view lumber
supply the soft maple grove will be
found very satisfactory substitute

A NEW INTEREST IN PEAT.

With rapid stripping Of the great
forest areas of the north and west to
supply the enormous lumber trade of
the country and somewhat slower
yet just as sure consumption of the
hard wood and coal supplies Of the CEN
trail and western states for use as fuel,
attention is now being directed to the
vast yet untouched deposits of peat to
be found in the north central states.
According to the state geological sur
vey, northern Iowa and southern Min
nesota alone contain in the neighbor-
hood of 25,000,0OO tons of peat, much
of it due to drier seasons and drainage
systems, being in partially dry condi-
ton. The deposit of peat, which is
nothing but the accumulation Of the
decayed vegetable matter Of genera
tons past, covers hundreds Of acres
and varies from four to ten feet in
thickness. Plans are already on foot
for the establishment Of plants which
will press and dry the peat and put it
on the market. Those who have tested
the fuel qualities of peat state that it
is superior to the best hard wood and
is surpassed by coal only in the respect
that it contains somewhat more car
bon. Peat is far superior to coal in
that it contains no sulphur, makes lit
tie smoke and no SCOT or clinkers. 1t
makes fine white ash, giving fire
that Is very hot or mild, as occasion re-
quires. Provided it can be put in con-
venient shape and placed on the mar
ket at reasonable price, which seems
entirely likely, the demand for this
new fuel is bound to be enormous.
GOVERNMENT MEAT INSPECTION.
There has not been an agitation af-
fecting agricultural interests In years
that comes home to the farmer more
closely than that involved in the
discussion Of a government inspec-
ton of the animals and meat handled
by the packing plants Of the country.
While the least possible agitation of
the matter and superficial and Slip
shod disposition of the same would
seem at first thought to be favorable
to the business interests involved, yet
in the long run and from the broad
point of view that settlement of the
matter can only prove Of lasting bene-
fit which is complete, exhaustive and
goes to the bottom Of things, this being
particularly true because the public
mind is just as much in need Of def
mite assurance of the purity of its food
supplies as its physical appetite is in
need Of satisfaction.
PRIZES FOR GOOD ROADS.
A very commendable rivalry that
has been inaugurated by county agri-
cultural society of western state is
the outgrowth of Offering series of
prizes for portions of the county roads
kept in the best shape by the use of
the King drag. Farmers living along
the roads leading into the county seat
have already begun work on the roads
with view to securing the prizes, and
a marked improvement In their con-
dition has been noted. There are fea
lures connected with this competition
which lead one to hope that 1t may
become to an extent epidemic.
