How to Blow a Nose Scientifically.


Medical experts are calling the atteh-
ton Of the public to the Importance OF
performing the nose blowing operation
in a scientific and hygienic manner
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue VIC
lence. Doctors state that the two ma
sal passages should never be closed AZ
the same time. II they are obstructed,
Ms In the case Of cold the back OF
the throat Is filed with compressed
air. and this, together with the dis
charge and the microbes which II con

lead to serious results. A great au'
tbority on the subject used to FORBID
his patients to blow their noses when
suffering from cold, This course Is
hardly one which will commend Itself
TO those In the habit OF catching colds
The best advice would seem TO be that
when 1t is necessary to blow the nose
the blowing should be done gently.

II is necessary 10 weigh a hundred
oats or so on fine balance such as
any doctor or druggist possesses. then
press out the bulls and weigh them

Of oats 10 the measured bushel varies
from twenty-five to tifty pounds. Tue
heavy oats are Of course the most
valuable. Nearly all grain elevators
have small device for testing the
weight per bushel
Another point to be considered Is the
tendency TO stool In localities where
the summers are cool and late varie-
ties can be grown. a tendency to stool
considerably Is desirable, since thick
stand can be secured with less seed.
Where the summers are hot and early
varieties must be grown, however. the
tendency to stool TO any great extent

Selecting Wheat and Barley Heads,
In selecting wheat heads those thai
do not shell too readily should be given
the preference. since much wheat Is
lost by Smelling during harvest The
grains should be plump. smooth ano
bright. The seed coat should be tough
and not cracked. Where the bran i

In barley the hull adheres to thu

be bright. as the quality OF brewing

The best barley for brewing purposes
Is that which contains the most starch
This can be determined by cutting
through the grain and noting the per

feeding purposes smaller percentage

Beardless barley Is little less hard!
and yields a little less than the beard
