AIiners And Tuberculosis.

A mining journal published at
Scranton has been calling attention
to the curious fact that in coal min
ing communities there is marked
deficiency in the mortality from tuber-
claosis as compared with that of 9TH
er localities. This is phenomenon
that has also been observed i'm Great
Britfan and attention has been drawn
to it by E. H. Thwaite. According
to Mr.. Thwaite, the effects noted may
be due to the physiological effects
of toarbonmonoxide, for he finds that
men engaged about blast furnaces
and gas producers are peculiarly free
from tuberculous trouble
ct is suggested that the presence
'Of carbon dust in the lungs may be

CLEAN THE GRAIN FIELDS.

With all our pains in selecting seed
grain many weeds and other obnoxi.
Gus plants persist in showing up
along about harvest time. The only
way to get rid of these pests is to
go through the fields now and pluck
out the individual plants. The plan
is perfectly practicable if one has
been careful in cleaning his seed
grain. Watch out for mustard and
wild oats. The mustard plant, If al
lowed to mature, will make no end
of trouble; but if the fields are gone
over just as the mustard blossoms
show it will not be very big job
to clean them out. With wild oats
the situation is different. 1t resem-
bles the cultivated oat in some re-
spects, but 1t has large, dropping
spikelets. Some claim they do not
fear wild oats in the Central Western
states, as a short rotation of crops
will rid the fields of it. But it is
big mistake to allow 1t to get foot
hold anywhere. Keep 1t out, The
very first question l would ask were
buying seed oats would be whether
it contained wild oats.-L. C. Brown

Monkeys Lake sctapping.

..ss-'.. Monkeys are In class by them
Selves said the circus man. II
one of them has red hair he is sure
to be q dandy scrapper. The best
fighter is always the leader. They
hang together and bow and scrape
before the boss just like good many
people. Monkeys with red faces and
fiat heads will whip the life out of
those smaller than they are, but will
run like the wind when it comes to

funny spectacle. Even In the same
cage you will find groups horded to-

distinction and the lines were drawn
tightly. If two of the big ones come
together in row the others gem
orally stand of and let them have
it out, But if any of the little ones
get to scrapping, then the father and
mother are sure to mix in, and the
next step is general row. We sepa-
rate them by turning on the hose and
punish them by locking up the den
SO that they cannot get any pea

WINTER PROTECTION OF STRAW
BERRIES.

i Mulchfng consists in the covering of
the soi1 with leaves, straw, sawdust,
Or in fact anything that serves as a
cover and protection to it. Mulching
IS practised for two purposes: to pre-
sent a too excessive evaporation of
The moisture of the soil during the
summer and also to avoid the effects
Of freezing and thawing in winter. So,
While mulching is practised in the
summer to retain moisture and assist
In the development of the fruit, pro-
tecting SO far as may be from drought,
1t is also Rractised in winter, but for
different purpose; the strawberry is
rot a deep-rooted plant, its roots are
of the fibrous order spreading in al
directions in search of fertility; these
OF necessity are closely embraced by
the soil when it freezes. The mere
freezing of the soil effects no injury
to the plant; it is the frequent freez-
ing and thawing that work mischief to
1t by severing or tearing the roots,
and after time lifting them from the
soil, in which situation they are left
TO perish or simply engage in pro-
longed struggle for bare existence.
The same effect is produced in a field
of clover when. as it is termed, it is
frozen out" With freezing and thaw-
ing strawberry plants are frozen
out" the prevention of which calls
for winter protection. 1t is not nee
essary that the protection should be
given to prevent the freezing of the
soil, for this is hardly possible, but
1t is to retain the frost in the soil at
ter it becomes frozen. which Is more
easily accomplished than the first con.
dition. therefore the application of
the material may be omitted until the
soil is eifectually frozen. The use OF
leaves is somewhat Objectionable for
the reason that unless they are held
down by some weight they are liable
to blow away, and also for the further
reason that they are liable to pack
down so closely as to kill the plants.

to require breathing room, or breath.

Arms, Legs. And The Man.

with our legs? Sitting on grassy

right arm always keeping position
with the left leg and the left arm
with the right leg. BY attempting
to reverse the order of the swing

KEEPING EGGS M suMMER..

NEEEING EI<f0 I'm SOMMESHs
Even If eggs are held only for a
comparatively short time before being
used or disposed of 1t will be found
advantageous to keep them in the best
manner possible Where they may be
on hand some little time this is much
more important. Egg racks are good
things to have for this purpose. A
simple one can be made from a large
box fitted with shelves in which are
holes to place the eggs in, end down.
Eggs do mot keep so well when put
in baskets, ETC., where they come in
contact with one another. The next
best thing fur an egg rack Is shallow
boxes filled with sawdust, cork or
bran, in which the eggs can be stood
ON end until wanted. Sawdust and
cork are hest for this purpose, for
If bran is used it will have to be
watched. for there is a chance of it's
becoming musty. If kept in this man
ner and the boxes or shelves marked
with the dates it is easy to tell when
the eggs were gathered, and SO they
can be used eor disposed of to better
advantage.
Eggs kept on end and free from
contact with one another in cool Gel
lar can be held some time. If it is de-
sired to do this care should be taken
to see that all the eggs are clean be-
fore being placed in the racks or
boxes.-H. E. Haydock, in the Tri
