Veterinary Science.

A veterinary surgeon is person
skilled in the diseases Of domestic ami
mails. In the last decade there has
been keen awakening to the import
ance Of veterinary science and agri-
cultural colleges are adding veterin-
airy department to their curriculums.
A consideration of the magnitude Of the
emphasizes the necessity of veterinary
knowledge to safeguard the interests of
animal husbandry and protect the pub
lie health. The valuation Of the horses
in the country is recorded at S1,S67,-
100000 mules at Sale, $4,000, mich
COWS at $65O,O57, 900, other cattle al
$S45, 93S, 900, sheep at $211, 10000 and
swine at 1881 100000. The grand total
value of all the live stock in the coun
try aggregates 4,331 100000 and repre-
sents such enormous wealth that the
live stock industry can well afford tc
pay for the services Of skilled veterin
arians
In all European countries veterinary
science is receiving increased considera
ton. The increased value of live stock
and the enlarged protection accorded
the public health has broadened the
sphere of veterinary science and it now
ranks among the learned professions
Great Britain is awakening to the ad
vantages Of raising the standard OF
veterinary science The imperial gov
eminent has appropriated $4,000 fol
the Dublin college and will supplement
the grant by an additional $46,50O
The government is spending annually
on the London Veterinary College $50,
600 and a strong effort is being made
to advance the standard of veterinary
education in England.
In nearly every commonwealth there
is a veterinary state department to in
spect the live stock ON the farms anG
when it discovers animals suffering
from conta gious diseases it orders then
destroyed to prevent the spread of con
tagion. The great distributing centers
of live stock are encouraging higher
veterinary education.

Where Our Heat Comse From.

An unusually hot day in summer or a
mild one in winter in the United States
10 due. not to an increased amount of
heat received directly from the sun but
to the transportation of the heated air
from a warmer region. The same is
true of the so-called cold wave" This
is brought out clearly in a recent in
vestigation by Prof Bigelow of the
United States naval observatory. An
increase in solar radiation will add to
the heat of the tropics, but owing to the
fact that it causes an inflow of cold air
from the poles it decreases the tempera-
ture in middle ATTITUDES. All this is
specially true of countries spreading over
wide continental areas, as the United
States does. In an investigation of the
weather records of the whole country
Prof. Bigelow finds that the Pacific
states form really part of the tropical
system in which the atmosphere is gen.
orally quiet, being free from the great
circular storms characteristic of the rest
of the continent. Thus the eternal sum
mer of southern California is due to the
fact that just here the tropics thrust
UP a calm area into the more turbulent
region miscalled the temperate" zone.

The New Pekiu.

A correspondent of the London Times
draws comparative picture of Pekin a
decade ago. and the progress in the Chi
nese capital today. The following is an
extract from his report
$50 it has come to pass that today
three railways bring their traffic and
broadening influences to the very gate
of the city. The tinkling camel bells
are gone, their Old World music replaced
by the interchangeable bugling from school
parade grounds and camps. No longer
does the medieval watch patrol the mid
night streets with noise of rattle and
drum; the new police, with their foreign
uniforms, rifles and sentry boxes in every
quarter, have consigned it to oblivion.
Well paved streets, fanked by brick
drains, now connect all of the principal
gates; the paper lanterns that accentu-
ated the darkness of former days have
been replaced by electric light; scaveng-
ing is no longer left to the unaided eff
forts of pariah dogs and pigs; brougb-
ans and jinrlkishas ply in the place of
sedan chairs and springless carts, and
public buildings Of suitable size and de-
sign are being provided for the various
government offices. Most remarkable of
alias indicating the change IN social
and educational standards-is the new

large crowds of both sexes resort daily,
purely Chinese enterprise, of which
the citizens are justly proud. A foreign
adviser to the Chinese government is now
driven in an automobile, in company with
n member of the grand council, from the
city to the summer palace, and Chinese
newspapers, printed in the capital, freely
discuss the necessity for constitutional
government. These things, and others
equally remarkable, have come to pass.

Farmer of Future.

The future farmer will subirrgate
his land, and defy drought as well as
floods. He will become a scientific for
ester, and every farm will produce
wood and lumber as well as wheat and
apples. A single acre will produce
what ten acres yield now Women will
work out doors as heartily as men: in
fact, they will be the horticulturists and
the truck gardeners. There will be
closer relation between the producer
and consumer, ignoring a horde of mid
dlemen who frequently waste more than
is destroyed by ignorant help and in
sect foes combined Under the al
lance with the school the farm will
be valued not only for It's gross weight
OF products, but for its poems and its
education. AS our schools become
places for applying as well as acquiring
knowledge, our farm homes will become
integral parts of the garden school and
the school farm. The alliance between
the home and the school will become
very close. A valley full of farms is al
ready the nearest to paradise that we
have, but the future will tenfold its
wealth and hundredfold it's delights.

The Farm and Farm ers.

In diversified farming it is essential
that we give due attention to the claims
of each branch that is being followed
and seek to harmonic them all. We
must select only those branches which
will fit nicely into our scheme of farm
management and eliminate every
waste.
If man fully intends to gain some
thing by adopting the practice of a soil
robber and buying large farms, cream
ing them and selling to another farm
er, he may succeed in making money
1t is little wonder that American farm
ers are often called soil SINNERS.
They make more money as a rule
than the farmer who puts his money
into improvements, for they have more
cash to speculate with. But which men
are the most useful to their commd-
nifty: The one who puts his whole
time and energy into cleaning every
possible dollar from the soil and put
ting it into the savings bank, or the
man who improves his property, adds
to the assessment list of his township
and helps to increase the valuation Of
adjoining farms?-Agricultur Epito-

without helping him any. His head.
face and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that if
he got well he would be disfigured for
life. When it seemed as if he could
possibly stand it no longer, used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT

Eggs are generally regarded as
cheaper food than the higher priced
meats, but at 5 cents apiece this is
hardly true of them. There is nothing
else on the farm neglected to the same
extent as the poultry yard. It's popu-
lation is expected to largely shift for
itself both as to food and other COM
forts Of life. Yet there is hardly any
thing else connected with the industry
that will so well reward special care
and pains. The egg and poultry bust
ness is not half developed. The demand
still largely exceeds the supply. With
our limitless opportunities we import
eggs by the million, and even then lack
enough to go around.-Boston Tran

THE WHITE MANS GRAVE.
Sierra Leone Looks Attractive in Spite
of It's Bad Name

Sierra Leone-known to fame as 'The
White Mans Grave"-viewed from the
deck of an incoming steamer presents an
appearance distinctly attractive.
As to climate, the soubriquet 'White
Mans Grave" is sufficiently instructive.
Suffice it to say that the first of the
daily regimental orders ran thus: "Funer-
al parade at $50 a. N. tomorrow" and
it was seldom indeed that the parade was
dismissed for lack of victim to the
pestiferous climatic conditions. Indeed,
so arduous became the duties of sepul-
chre that whereas it was customary in
the beginning for the entire regiment and
band to attend, only the company of the
deceased and the firing party did so later
on.
Sierra Leone is infested with snakes,
large and small. The former are of the
constructor species; the latter are all ex-
remely venomous. The most deadly of
all perhaps is the yellow jack, beauti-
full yellow and black reptile whose bite
is reputed to prove fatal within a space
of twenty minutes.-W estchester County

Anthrax among horses in Arkansas,

dominantly an incubation disease
spread by the sting Of the horsefy.
In treating the disease the Arkansas
station found that anthrax vaccination
was unsuccessful as a means for its pre-
yention. Isolation and quarantine, dis
infection and cremation of carcasses
are the measures chiefly insisted upon
by the station, but vaccination is rec
commended as a secondary measure
when done under official supervision.
