Missouri Teacher Says the Title Is Too
Much Abused.
II prefer not to be called profess
orr" remarked Donald Walker, a
schoolteacher of Macon county, Mo-,
the other day. "Of course l appreci-
ate the fact that those who use the
term do so in a complimentary sense,
but all the same it doesn't make me
feel good. It's not the title that dig
mites the man, but the way he fills his
position. If he does that worthily he
needs no title.
"Not long ago / spent the night in a
village In Macon county. A fellow
boarder at the inn sold corn salve on
the street with the aid of leather
lungs and kerosene lamp. He was a
good talker and did big business
Everybody about the place professor
ed him because he wore spectacles
and a long coat, yet he showed his food
in with knife and gurgled like an
animal when he tackled his coffee.
He didn't know who Dickens was, be-
lieved Napoleon was an American and
ran his negatives in pairs. Somehow
1t seemed like irony when heard peo-
pie call me professor after that, and IL
one of my students were to address
me that way I'd make him stay in
after school and apologize"

Barley and Oats Mixed.

Barley and oats grown as mixed
crop at the Ontario experiment station
gave in 1907 the highest yield Of grain.
1879 pounds per acre, where four
.pecks of each were used per acre. The
mixture Of Manshury barley and Dau-
beney oats has been found to ripen
well together and to produce large
yield of grain. The results with crop
mixtures of twelve and eight kinds
of grain in combinations made up of
uniform weights of seed or of quanti-
ties in the same proportion as when
the crops are grown separately showed
the supremacy of Manshury six rowed
barley when used in this way. In the
average of six years work and the
results of twenty-four tests this variety
represented 176 per cent in the mixs
ture.

CHINA TO ABOLISH OPIUM.
Viceroy Declares This Must Be Done.
Appeal to America.

Appeal to America.
Tuan Fang, probably the most pow
erful and progressive of all Chinese
viceroys, has sent an appeal to Amer
lea to aid his country in freeing itself
from the curse of opium. This is per-
haps the first time that viceroy has
concerned himself with an information
al matter independent of the Pekin
government. The appeal reads as fol-
lows:
"China is determined to abolish
opium entirely. 1t earnestly hopes that
the people of Great Britain, the Unit
ed States and other powers will APP
prove and help us in Kidding ourselves
of this great evil. If so we shall in
deed be fortunate"
Then came various seals and official
signatures. The message Of Tuan
Fang is written in high Wengli, the
classical language of China. Tuan
Fang was special high commissioners
of the Chinese government at the in
ternational opium conference.

Asked to explain the method 0:

Asked to explain the method OF
treatment, the physician said:
1t is simplicity itself The carbonic acid
gas is in an ordinary soda water tank
and is under a pressure of about 800
pounds to the square inch. 1t is released
from the tank by the ordinary handle to
a stopcock. The gas rushes out under the
pressure 1t is here the snow is made.
A cylinder about six inches long and less
than two inches in diameter Is employed
for this purpose The cylinder is made
of perforated brass and is really two half
cylinders on hinge. 1t is lined inside
and out with channels skin. A channels
skin flap helps to wrap 1t around the noz-
zle or faucet Of the tank when the gas is
released. The porous character of the
cylinder causes the snow to form in the
cylinder.
TO illustrate, the physician went 10
a tank Of carbonic acid gas ready for
use and with the cylinder made enough
carbonic acid gas snow to make a
SNOWFALL and then said:
This snow is Il degrees below zero c.
1t is made into cone and will last for
an hour. The usual length of time 1t is
applied to a growth Is from five to thirty
seconds 1t destroys the growth, freezes
it or burns it, as some say. Then this is
pfusned OH, ana crust forms. In time
that falls off, and there is white scar
left. That is all there is to the treatment.
Although nothing has yet been done
in that line by those who have been
working under the direction of Pro-
fessor Jackson, it is known that the
professor has told his assistants that
thus far they have used the snow to
destroy and that it was about time to
test its powers as a rebuilding agent
in skin troubles.-New York American.

The Cow and siIaae.

Why should good milk result from
sour smelling silage and poor milk
from onions? If a very thin slice Of
onion, turnip or cabbage is examined
under a high power magnifying glass
the tissue will be seen filed with
minute drops Of sulphur oil which
imparts the peculiar odor and flavor.
The system of COW tries to burn up
and get rid Of all that would injure
the milk, but these sulphur oils are
among the most difficult to eliminate
from the system, and unless fed in
small quantities win produce bad
effect on the milk On the other hand,
the odor and taste of silage are con-
nected with the acids of fermentation,
which are easily destroyed by the cow.

CARBoNIc ACID GAS SNOW.
curer of Skin Diseases May Be Made
to Rebuild the Skin.


Not only will carbonic acid gas snow
remove epithelioma, or skin cancer, as
was told at a recent meeting of the
New York County Medical society,
held in New York city, but it will re
move many kinds of tumors, birth
marks and moles and even powder
stains that are disfguring. The only
birthmark known to resist the action
of the carbonic acid gas snow, it is
said, is the so called port wine mark.
Hundreds of cases of skin cancer
have been treated with the carbonic
acid snow under the general direction
of DR.. George Thomas jackson Of the
Vanderbilt clinic and professor Of der
matology of the College Of Physicians
and Surgeons, the medical school of
Columbia university. A physician at
tached to the clinic said:
In the first place, the acid snow treat
ment leaves white scar which is dis
figuring, but which is the least scar left
by any caustic. We cannot say that we
have cured epithenoma, but In the cases
where the growth has been removed it
has not returned. and some cases were
created In 1907.

a clover pasture.


The Wisconsin experiment station is
trying out the plan Of feeding dairy
cows as many pounds Of grain daily
per COW as she produces pounds of
butter fat during the week, or seven
times as much grain as the amount Of
fat produced daily. The cows receive
as much hay and silage as they will
eat up clean, usually requiring twenty
five to forty-three pounds Of silage and
three or four pounds of hay daily.
The results of the experiment will
prove interesting. 1t is generally con-
coded that it is impossible to- deter
mine upon any hard and fast rule in
feeding cows, or, for that matter, any
other animal The successful feeder is
he who can vary his feed according to
the animals requirement and ability
to return a profit on the feed con-
sumed.

Fertilizer For Potatoes.

The old tradition that potatoes are
peculiarly hungry for potash cannot be
stamped out. But it isn't true. This
is fact many times demonstrated.
Much potato land is deficient most Of
gall in phosphoric acid. That is the first
need. In the fertilizer phosphoric acid
should run high. Some land, well ma
nured or covered, needs only phos-
phorus. Where complete fertilizer
pays, try one high in this one element.
Do not use too much nitrogen. 1t
makes big vines, but does not put the
big tubers in the hill. If manure has
been used, try 400 or 500 pounds of
acid phosphate or steamed bone per
acre and eighty pounds sulphate of
potash. At any rate, try some carrier
of phosphoric acid. Use it freely.-Na-
tional Stockman.

'It's a Long Lane

-OR TWELVE years the American Mining Congress has been wag-
4 ing a battle for the establishment of a bureau of mines at Wash
ington, to rank with the department of agriculture n the de-
partment of commerce and labor. Agriculture is the first industry of
of commerce and labor has largely to do with manufactures and it
seems that there has been a gross oversight in not giving the mineral
producing industry like representation.
Congressman Bartlett, of Nevada, predicts that there is "too
much opposition In congress to secure a department of mines at this
time, = but that possibly the mining industry may secure a subde-
partment In the department of the interior, ranking with the geo.
logical survey. That would be a little help, but it is hard to see why
there should be such opposition in congress to the establishment
of a department of mines. 1t may be, as limited by a recent speaker
before the congress, that Wall Street, the real ruler of congress, is
interested in having silver, and possibly other metals, kept at their
present status. For, were a department of mines established, one of
ITS duties, and one of it's first labors, would be to study trade and ex-
change conditions with a view to giving silver its proper status as a
medium OF establishing a trade balance with siver-money nations.
That is, the mining department would do this if it should do its
duty, irrespective of Wall Street. This may be one of the reasons for
the opposition in congress of the establishment of the department
of mines.
1t is a long lane that has no turning. The American Mining Con-
gress is a comparatively small body. But among its membership it
numbers most of the men worth while in the mining world, some
Of them of international repute. The west is getting awake to the
fact that one of its greatest industries is being held back by forces that
are beginning to be recognized, and ere long, the west will see that
go to the House of Representatives and to the United States
Senate who will look out for their interests. 1t lis a n uphill fight that
the Mining Congress has been making. The fight is still uphill, but
we believe that President Taft is a friend Of the west, and Secretary
Balinger has promised his utmost support. The lower house of con-
gress has once passed a bill authorizing the establishment of a de-
partment of mines, and will probably do the same thing again if called
upon. And with the western Senators united at this time, when the
machine Senators IRE fearful lest they lose their grip ON the govern
ment, it seems that the westerners can enforce their demands for
recognition of the mining industry. Some of the eastern and middle
western Senators, in the coal and lead and zinc and copper districts,
will also be on the side of the mining men. 1t appears that the min
ing men are nearing their goal.

Hills lease on the Mountain King has
recently opened the best and most per
manent looking ore body yet encount-
cred in these workings, the new shoot
being on the PIG level, west from the
shaft, and shows three feet of heavy
lead that ALL run well in silver, the
values ranging around 1928 per ton.
The incline shaft will soon be started
downward again, and ent to the 500

ments have been made with Mitchell 4
Fairfield to furnish power for two ma
chine drills from their 100-h. p. air
compre ssor. The Alamo company will
use four power drills in the old Hub
bard lease, and Mitchell g. Fairfield
will put four in operation on their
lease.

HEROISM OF STAGE DRIVER
SAVES LIVES IN WRECK

LUCKY BOY, Nevada, October Is
The Thorne-B odie stage was wrecked
this morning on the way to Bodie. Two
passengers m~iraeulously escaped death
by the heroism and self sacrifice of the
driver. The passengers jumped while
the driver held the horses in check be-
fore they began their ~headlong dash
down the hill.
Standing in front of the Nevada club
at Lucky Boy, the leader, a high spirit
ed animal got caught in the lines. He
turned sharply around and dashed down
the hill. The stage turned over at a
turn in the road and was compile. ely
wrecked and one of the horses crippled.
The driver, Frank Williams, stuck to
the horses until the stage smashed. He
was terribly bruised and lascerated and
lies in a precarious condition at the
local hospital, with 33 stitches in his
scalp. 1t is feared that possibly he has
internal injuries and that his
scull may be fractured. Milo Plemanz
of Manhattan was one of the passengers
VINO was slightly injured.

Publicity and Mining

~ UBLICiTY, as a means of securing and retaining confidence can
scarcely be exceeded in Importance. Secretiveness, on the 9TH
= er hand, almost invariably gives rise to suspicion. These are
truths that + becoming more and more recognized. They are of
general application and apply to mining enterprises neither more nor
less than to the conduct of other affairs, says the Mining Investor.
A mining camp or individual property may have great merit but
its worth will be unknown, unless advantage is taken of the oppor-
tunities to make public the facts regarding it. The rapid develop
.ment of Goldheld, Nevada, forms a recent illustration of the advant-
ages derived from intelligent publicity. There re other districts
whose slow development is que almost wholly to a failure to let the
world know what is there.
But if publicity is advantageous to a mining camp it is also of
benefit to the general public. The development of the natural re-
sources of the country is Of fascinating interest even to those who are
not personally connected with development enterprises. The story Of
Cripple Greek, for example, forms as fascinating a chapter of history
as can be found anywhere in ancient or modern times.
However, publicity is the greatest possible preventive both of
self deception and fraud. The modern city keeps it's streets brilliant
ly lighted at night for two purposes. First, that its honest citizens
may see their way clearly and second, that thieves and criminals may
not ply theiT vacations under shelter of darkness. Similarly the hon.
est investor in mining enterprises wants to see his own way clearly
and he also wants sufficient light to watch what is being done by those
with whom he may come in contact.
To give publicity to mining enterprises is the great function of
the mining press. tt is a work of value and well worth the doing.

BRINGS IN SOME GOOD ORE
FROM JAMESTOWN CLAIMS

Carl Feutsch is showing some ex-
ceptionaliy fine samples of grey copper
ore from the Golden Chariot property
in the jamestown district, coming from
the 220-foot level of the property. Sam
pies from an 1S-inch streak in n seven
foot ledge show average values of 5000,
and Just before the rich streak was
opened a few days ago, the seven-foot
ledge showed average values of So. No
assays have been made across
the entire ledge, since the rich streak
was opened up. Three men are work
ing on the property at present, and Mr..
Fuetscb and his associates, Fred Erbeu
and G.. Bernaotto, of this city, will go
to jamestown in a day or SO, and ar
range to put more men at work. There
are several hundred tons of $40 to $50
ore on the dumps at the mine now, and
a carload lot of rich ore from the new
strike is now ready for shipment. The
ore has to be hauled 20 miles to rail
road, at RalstOn station, and the first
shipment will be sent out as soon as
hauling arrangements can be made.

A. Codd, the well known mining man,
who will take up his residence in Reno,
with his family, next Wednesday. This
change of location by Mr.. Codd is
made incumbent by the growing de-

to leave Goldfield as a place of resi-
dence, he will still retain his mining
interests and a branch Office here.
Mr.. Codd states the shaft on the St.
Ives lease at Rawhide is now down 800
feet, and will he sunk more energetical'
iy within a few days as soon as a ny
wheel to the compressor, which was
lost in shipment, can be sent back to
