A pretty level headed horseman we
know is this season working two stall
lions of which he has the care in his
regular farm operations. They look a
trife ratty in general appearance, and
their ribs can be counted without trou-
BILE, but it is safe to say that they
will sire more strong colts than they
would if they loafed around with moth
ing to do and were in shape to enter
the show pen all the time.

Fifty-nine per cent Of the total area
of Japan, or 5S.000,000 acres, is de-
voted to forests. Careful management
of these areas with view to preserv-
ing them was taken up before the be-
ginning of the Christian era, while in
the centuries Immediately following
there was systematic planting of trees
on watersheds to prevent destruction
by floods. The state forests of japan
produce at present about 1000, 900

Yearly there is something more
needed than the ideal general purpose
cow to enable some fellows to make a
success with dairying and stock rails
ing. In fact, there is more in the
care than the breed, anyway. If a
fellow detests milking he shouldn't
monkey with dairy COWS, but should
raise the beef breeds-Herefords, bod
dies or Shorthorns. If he likes dairy
ing he would better go into the strictly
dairy breeds and raise Jerseys, Guern-
seys, Ayrshires or Holsteins. Perhaps
the very best general purpose cows do
not belong properly to any breed, but
are native stock of good frame, size
and milking capacity that do well at
the pail, yet raise bull calves that will
make good beef steers. The only way
that such a herd can be developed is
by purchasing as many individuals of
this type as one can get hold of and
breeding them up with bulls from
dams of known milking capacity.

There are some men who may still
be skeptical of the worth Of the cream
separator as an adjunct Of the dairy,
but the fact remains that the use of the
machine enables one to get from 10 to
25 per cent more of butter fat out of
milk than is possible with the gravity
or hand skimming system. While
the young calf should be given a start
on whole new milk, it is conceded that
a fat forming ration can be fed which

made by pouring just enough scald-

Is considerable complaint from damage
by the stalk borer, a worm that enters
the plant at a joint near the ground
and gradually works it's way as far up
as 1t can. The result is that the stalk
is greatly weakened and in many cases
breaks over, being incapacitated for
the proper nourishment Of the grain 1t
bears. Since the damage done by the
worm is entirely internal and 1t re-
mains out Of sight until it seeks new
feeding place, there is no effective way
of fighting it. The only preventive, and
that but partial and indirect. is to sc
rotate the.1crops on the land. with
the cleanest possible cultivation, that
the weeds in which the worm breeds
and feeds may be reduced to mini

Use OF Pure Oxygen at Beth lsra-
ell Hospital Has Raised
Great Hopes.
RESULTS ARE REMARKABLE
One Desperate Case Saved--All
Treated I'm Same Way Show
Marked Improvement.

New York, July 13.-Remarkable re-
tits with pure oxygen at Beth Israel
hospital have raised hopes that a way
has been found at last to combat this
dread disease which places the stamp
of death on 95 per cent of its victims.
A striking Illustration of the efficacy
OF oxygen was given when there was
discharged from the hospital Mrs. An
ma Abias, sufferer from peritonitis,
whose case upon her admission was at
first given up as hopeless.
On the day when she was taken to
the hospital, two and half weeks ago,
Dr. Nj. Seaman cambridge had been
discussing with Prof. Henry Mansfield
Silver, the hospital chief surgeon, a
theory that oxygen If tried would
prove cure for perltonitis
An hour afterward DIR. Silver re-
celved the summons to make a heroic
effort to save the womans life. When
he reached her side he found she was
suffering with general peritonitis, and
that her temperature was 100 degrees.
Seeing that the old method of draiu-
ing off the bacterial substance in the
region of the peritoneum, would be
Wltnout avail IN hef case, ne resolved TO
follow the suggestion given by Dr.
cambridge.
After an abdominable cut had been
made and the usual treatment given,
the wound was so sutured that it
left room for small tube. This tube
was connected with a tank of oxygen
which was run through water to thor
oughiy purify 1t and after the flow
had continued for three minutes the
tube was withdrawn.
Mrs. Abias evinced such remarkable
Improvement from the very start that
other peritonitis sufferers We're similar
ly treated. There are now at the hos
pital four other persons who were Civ
en- the cure. All have shown improve
ment equally as great as that Of Mrs.
Abias and it is expected that when
they. too, have been in the hospital
Tor Two weeks and d half they will be
able 10 go home as well as they ever
were.
