INTESTINAL TROUBLES.
col;tis, tie Causes aud the Way Il
Should BE Treated.

SUOVS0 % uV0aSO0s
Colitis is an Inflammation of the
colon. or large intestine. 1t occurs
in several forms. Simple catarrhal
colitis is a not uncommon affection.
1t may arise from the same cause
as catarrh of other mucous men,
brancs, as of the bronchial tubes,
for example, or it may be caused by
the presence in the intestine Of in
digestible or partly decomposed
food. A not infrequent cause is
constipation, the matters which
should be discharged being retained
and by their presence setting up an
irritation.
The most frequent symptom is
diarrhca. This usually comes on
suddenly and is watery in character,
often Hinged with blood. Associ-
ated with this is considerable alb
dominal pain, occurring in parox-
ysr,s - collie and following the
course Of the large intestine at one
or the other side of the abdomen or
along its upper border.
The appetite is poor, the tongue
is coated with a white fur, nausea is
common and vomiting sometimes
occurs. There is usually more or
less fever, and the pulse is rapid
and weak.
The treatment consists in abso-
lutte rest in bed, very restricted
diet preferably milk and limewa-
ter in small quantities) and the adj
ministration Of astringent remedies.
The latter is, of course, to he left
to the physician, for much harm
may be done by injudicious medica-
ton. The symptoms of dysentery
are very similar to those of the dis
ease under consideration, but dysen-
terry is a much more serious affec-
ton. The possibility that the dis
ease is dysentery rather than simple
.colitis is On added reason for seek
ing medical advice and not attempt
ing to cure the trouble with do
nestle treatment.
Another and more serious form
of Inflammation of the colon is
what is called membranous colitis.
This disease occurs usually in young
adults and in women more COM
monty than in men. The initial
symptoms are similar to those Of
simple colitis, but the diarrhea
does not last long and alternates
with periods Of obstinate constipa-
ton. In the passages, especially
during the periods Of constipation,
are patches Of membrane, some
times Of considerable size, looking
like wet parchment, formed Of
sheets of tenacious mucous.
The subjects of this disease,
which is chronic in character, are
usually dyspeptic, suffering much
from fatulence, anaemic ana de-
pressed in spirit. The treatment is
mainly hygienic. The patient should
live much in the open air, have
long hours Of sleep, eat plenty of
nourishing food, scrupulously avoid
ing fried meats, pastry and other
indigestible articles of diet. A
change Of air and scene is often
curative in its effects. The patient
should also if possible have some
light but interesting occupation,
which will serve to turn his mind
from his ailment.-Youth's Com
panion.

THE CULTURE
OF ASPARAGUS
BY w. II. Beattie.

This crop can be grown on almost
on deep, mellow, sandy loan. There
is little possibility of having the land
too rich, and liberal applications of
rotted barnyard manure should be
made before the plants are set. 1t is
usually more satisfactory to purchase
two-year-old roots from some seeds
man or dealer. The price of good
roots is generally about S1.25 per hun
dred, and 100 to 200 plants will be
found sufficient to supply the ordinary
family. The roots should be trans
planted during the late autumn or
early spring. Before setting out the
plants the land should be loosened
or deep spading. 1t is good plan to
remove the topsoil and spade manure
into the subsoil to a depth of II or 16
inches; then replace the topsoil and
add more manure. There are two
methods of setting an asparagus bed,
depending entirely upon the kind of
cultivation to be employed in the gar
ueu. III HoTSe toOlS are 10 De uSeu,
the plants should be set in rows three
and half feet apart and IA inches
apart in the row. On the other hand,
If the garden space is limited the
plants should be set in a solid bed
one foot apart each way, and culti-
waited by hand. In setting asparagus
the crowns should be covered to a
depth of four or five inches. At the
north it will be desirable to mulch the
asparagus bed during the winter with
three or four inches of loose manure
or straw. In the south the covering
during the winter will not be neces-
sary, but the bed should receive a
dressing of manure or fertilizer at
some time each year, preferably in
the autumn.

Autos Destroying Roads.

The Massachusetts automobile traf-
fic is so heavy that it has caused mark
ed wear on the state highways, and
the commission having charge of these
roads states In its last annual report
that the destructive effect is extra.
ordinary" Practically all the main
roads are thus affected. 1t has been
noticed that the binder is swept from
the road, and the stone from " to IL
inch in size has been disturbed, in
some cases standing on the surface,
and in other cases being left In wind
rows along the roadside. The effect of
wear of this sort is such that the com
mission is satisfied a material change
in the methods of maintaining stone
roads must be made. The report indi-
Gates that the commission believes
some kind of treatment with tar will
probably be successful.

EFFECT OF SOILS ON
PLANTS
BY c. L. Allen,

While variations of climate produce
wonderful changes in vegetable forms,
it is a well-established fact that any
vegetable grown in a given soil will
assume a very different form when
grown on either heavier or a lighter
one. This has been shown in a re-
markable degree with the cabbage.
A given variety grown for long num-
Der of years on heavy soil, with a
liberal supply of plant food, proper
care in growing the plants and In
transplanting them, and constant cul-
tivation until the crop is matured,
will develop type remarkable for
size and vigor, with excellent keeping
qualities, and be what is known as
Late Flat Dutch or Drumhead cab
bage. On the other hand, take the
same stock seed, grow it on a light
sandy soil, under the same climatic
influences, with the same care in cul-
tivation, always selecting with view
to carliness and solidity, and the re-
suit will be in the same number of
years a. variety of the same general
form but of smaller size and very
much earlier. Again, soil inter-
mediate in character, from the same
stock, during the same period, with
the same care in selection, will give a
variety intermediate in character as
well as in period Of growth.

lar hole z.

A SYSTEMATIC effort is to be
n made by the bureau OF immigra.
ton to put an end to what is popularity
known as "the white slave traffic"
which, il is asserted, has been con
1ucted. especially in cities on the
Atlantic seaboard, for a long time
On recommendation OF Robert
Watchoru, immigration commissioner
at Ellis Island, New York, Miss Helen
W. Bulls has been appointed an inn
migration inspector for the particular
purpose of developing information re-
garding this traffic Miss Bulls re-
emily has been connected with the
Travellers Aid Society, and has done
much work along philanthropic and
sociological lines.
Commissioner Watchorn says that
migrants are examined as to their

women OF non-English speaking races
are being imported for Immoral pur-
roses. The method by which this is
accomplished Is so well devised that
he victims OF the Importers nearly
always avoid detection by reason OF
he thorough coaching they receive
prior to their embarkation for this
country
Mr.. Watchorn suggests that Miss
Bulls is in position to furnish the
department conclusive proof of the
existence of the traffic This woUld
enable the immigration officials Lot

brought unlawfully into the country.
but also to punish those who are re-

A Cleaning Agent for CASTINGS.

Hydrofluoric acid as a cleansing
agent for castings has been in general
use but short time, being treated
few years ago as a secret process.
Formulae for the acid containing sup
erfiuous and innocuous ingredients to
mystify the purchaser have been sold
for considerable sums. Anything used
in connection with this pickle" aside
from the hydroiluoric acid and water,
is wholly unnecessary, the usual for
mula being one part of acid to ten of
water. In adding water, however, care
should be taken to know the strength
of the acid. The idea is to get a dip
that will remove the sand perfectly
and quickly. the operation requiring
10 to 15 minutes.

NEWSPAPERS FIST EATING
UP OUR SPRUCE FORESTS

II HE rapidity with which the news
paper is eating up the American
spruce forests has caused some alarm
who have been looking into the thing.
The conversion of spruce timber into
paper is going on at the rate OF 1885,
900 feet for every working day In the
year. And most of this timber Is cut
in the United States. although few
wood pulp logs are imported from
Canada
During 1905 the newspaper demand
alone consumed 100000 tons of manu-
factured white paper. This was one
third Of the output of all the paper
mills in the country. To make 1t re-
luired an army OF $4,000 men, who
drew s9.000.000 In wages. The mills
used raw material amounting to 1,300.-
900 cords. representing the cut OF
about 100000 acres.
The present tariff on lumber causes
this enormous drain to fall almost en-
tirely upon the forests of the United
States. II has been suggested that
It would be wise political and eco
nomic move to remove this lumber
luty, and let the paper mills begin to
eat into the almost limitless forests OF
Canada
Incidentally the price of paper
would drop some, and the paper trust
would not have quite the monopoly on
affairs which 1t has today.
Increased size of newspapers and
magazines is laid by government ex-
perts to the introduction OF the type
setting machine. In 1890 newspapers
and periodicals averaged 81 pages
ach. on a basis Of weight, and in.
1900 6.6 pages; 1905 they came to s5
ages.
During the 25 years from 1880 to
1905 the number of newspapers and
periodicals of all classes in the United
States practically doubled. During
hat time 10000 publications were
added. During the last decade the
number of morning newspapers In
creased IL per cent, while the num-
Der of evening newspapers increased
1.3 per cent.
During the last 20 years the evening
newspapers have increased more rap
dly than morning newspapers. A
hundred years ago there were 359
newspapers in the United States hav.
ing an aggregate circulation of 49,.
32l,7OO copies per annum.

FORESTRY BUREAU RULES
OVER MILLIONS OF ACRES
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Forestry pu.

WI WASHINGTON.--The Forestry Du-
w reau, which now administers
more acres of land than any other
institution In the world and is the
landlord branch of the Federal Gov
ernment. has just compiled its report
covering statistics of grazing on the
public lands of the great West. The
figures will give some idea of the scale
on which Uncle Sam has gone into the
land business, and are very comfort
Ing because of their very size. for If
the existing policy is unmolested the
vast areas of forest and mountain now
embraced in reserves will for all TIME
be administered In the interest OF the
entire people.
There are now more than 156.000,-
600 acres of land in the national for.
ests. Grazing is permitted, but under
strict regulations, made in order that
the grass may not be destroyed by
overfeeding, This, by the way, Is
what has caused most of the friction
in the West. Owners of flocks and
herds in that section of the country
for years have been accustomed to
grazing without restrictions of any
kind. Many of them in time came to
look upon the public domain as their
very own, in an important sense, and
they were quick to resent any effort
on the part of the government to con.
serve either forest or grazing land
But this friction is rapidly disappear.
without such conservation the range
and forest in time will be destroyed.
A glance at the regulations govern
ing grazing on the government forests
will give the reader very good idea
of the government forest policy and
how it is being administered Stock
men who desire to make use of the
range apply for permits stating the
kind of stock they have, the quantity
of it and the location of the range they
want. The forest officers then proceed
to make allotments, apportioning the
| available pasture among the appH
cants on as equitable basis as prac
| ticable.
Sometimes stockmen. who live neal
| forests or have stock near them allow
| that stock to drift across lines. II this
| is done carelessly or wilfully 1t is con
| eidered trespass and the offender Is
subject to a fine and may also be sued
| for damages. The number of tres
pass cases last year was 1873, of which
| 163 were settled out of court. The
sum collected for these trespasses as
gregated s5.576. These trespass cases
have been another source Of friction
between the government and the
grazers. 1t is difficult for the west
to realize that, the country now beine
thiclSly populated. it is no longer pos
sible to maintain the old time free
range without destroying that range
The entire system of permits and fees
is for the purpose of enabling the
government to know that the range
within the reserves is not being over
fed.

Red Cedar.-Red cedar, from which
pencils are made, has become SO
scarce that it enjoys the unique dis
tinction of being bought and sold by
the pound. Most of this cedar comes
from Tennessee, Alabama and Florida.
and the supply in Tennessee is nearly
gone. Fence rails that weathered the
civil war have gone into pencils.
Stumps have been dug up and sold for
more than the trees which were cut
frim them to make railroad ties.
Fence posts have given way to newer
kinds of wood and have been carted
to the pencil factory to be sold for
ten cents hundred pounds. And yet
this red cedar will grow anywhere in
the United States where the soil does
not contain too much sand or clay:
will flourish on land that is unfit for
agriculture, and will reach size fit
for pencil making when % years old.

Hard Milking.-"Hard milking oc-
ours from varied causes. Sometimes
the trouble is due to an unnatural
construction of the entire length of
the canal of the teat, sometimes to
new growths along its course, and not
infrequently to little shot-like bodies
attached to a pedicle, which drop
down into the canal from above and
form sort of a ball-valve obstruc-
tion. Again, says Farm Journal, the
trouble may come from injuries TO the
lower part (the sphincter of the teat) 4
These last causes usually arise from
injuries received from without, and
occasionally are due to warty growths
at the opening of the teat.
