a few years ago we wondered
how long the general demand for
high grade and pure bred dairy
cattle would keep up. Buyers
were coming to this section from
all parts of the country looking for
dairy cattle and they purchased
them by the carloads. This has
been going on for several years
and the buyers now are thicker
than over. There s. nothing about
this condition that would indicate
IA danger in over production Of
good dairy stock.
Graham guardian., 1908-06-12

This is the season of year when
there is being held many auction
sales Of pure bred dairy cattle. 1t
might seem TO some that these
offerings might over stock the
pure bred cattle market aud de-
preciate their value. h We should
remember that this is u big country
and u few thousand cattle one way
or the other has but little eject
upon prices. our population is
growing much faster than the
dairy industry, aud as We produce
better products there cotes AZ

A USE FOR SPIDERS.

Keep Them in the House and You
VIII Have No Reaches.
1T is too bad so many people are
preJudiced against SPIDERS" said the
man who always finds out curious
things. IF they could stand it to have
spiders around, they would soon get
rid of cockroaches. In the spider the
cockroach has an enemy that pursues
him with more malevolence than does
the Clearly housewife And not only
Is this hatred more deep rooted; it is
more deadly. All things considered, the
cockroach shows mighty little respect
for the human race. He knows that,
though he Is small, he is chock full
Of inventive genius and he laughingly
scorns the futile attempts OF men and
women to circumvent and destroy him.
so long has he been battling for life
against paris green, fly paper, hot water
and wire cages that he has learned to
saunter through green lanes of poison
much as soilfng his toes, and when 1t
comes to the scalding bath he swims
blithely out and wrlggles his whlskers
in derision at his would-be slayers. But
he dares not treat the spider with such
disdain- In fact, he doesn't have a
chance, for the spider outdoes even the
cockroach in cunning and nabs him
without the least ceremony.
"Still 1t would be hardly advisable
to recommend raising crop OF spiders
as a sure preventive of cockroaches,
for in most peoples minds the extermi-
nator Is more objectionable than his
victim. "-Cieveland Plain Dealer.

1t is a secret society. Its delibera-

and the names of its members can
be seen only in the society's secret

The Sphenopogones comprise lead

Each member must be elected unani-

which tapers symmetrically to a
point, and mustache also pointed

Once a month the members dine
together. The date and place OF meet

After dinner the possessors of the

societies. There is. for instance, the
Appendicitis Society, a fashionable

The Society for Putting Woman in

There is also a society of baldheads

FISH CUT IN TWO LIVES HOURS.
Strange Experiments of Russian
Psychologist as to the Nature
of Death.

of Death.
A curious series of experiments on
the persistencies of life in fishes has
been conducted by Prof. Konhabko,
psychologist at Tomsk, from which he
de.taces that even decapitation does
not produce instantaneous death of
the tissues, but merely cessation of
functioning for lack of nutrition and
oxygen supply conveyed through the
blood.
His most conclusive experiment
was performed by cutting fish in
two just below the heart. The two
parts of the body showed signs of
life for two or three minutes, in the
form of muscular contractions in both
parts and attempts to breathe by the
upper one. Then they became mo-
tionless, but even yet the upper Sec
ton was far from dead
The professor had ready a nutri-
tive solution strongly charged with
oxygen, and using this he started ar
tificial circulation in the upper sec
ton of the fish. The heart began to
beat and the gills to vibrate; the
muscles became active and the mouth
opened and closed. In word, the
functions of all the organs seemed
to be completely restored. The FISH
had not been dead at all, but had
merely been suffering from extreme
anaemia.
This stimulation was maintained
for several hours, the fish exhibiting
but in a diminishing degree, all the
characteristics of life Real death
gradually took possession of the or
ganism. The cells be@ne diseased
or old. The power of the heart, how
ever, was marvellous. 1t retained its
power to beat, Prof. Konliabko as
serts, sometimes for an entire day
after all sensitiveness had disappear
ed from the nervous centres. These
died themselves after different peri
DDS of resistance, the more highly or
ganized ones in the surface of the
brain losing power long before the
deeper seated ones.
The professor hopes to formulate
from his observations important theo-
ries as to the essential nature of life
and the causes of death. He thinks
they may help physicians to find
means of preventing death in cases
where the general tissues of the body
have not lost vitality and where the
danger arises from injury or organic
lesion or condition of disease which
can be eradicated if life can be main
tanned long enough for the parpose-
