Passing of Horned Cattle.

Horned cattle and horned sheep ar
rapidly disappearing Many of the
cattle bred and fed in the corn belt
are hornless. Breeds of this kind are
growing in popularity. In the noun
famous country and on the plains
wild cattle needed long horns for the
protection of themselves and their
young. Now, however, with the plains
thickly settled and with few wild ami
mails the cattle do not need horns.
Among the hornless breeds are the
Galloway, Angus Red Poll and Polled
Shorthorns. Polled Jersey and Polled
Hereford are also coming into favor.
BY the application of caustic potash
the growth of the horns Is prevented
in the young calf.-Inter Ocean.

This Is the vaccine soup con-
tanning the dead bodies Of billions OF
typhoid bacilli 1t is now ready for
use. But first, to make perfectly sure
that all the bacilli are dead, small
quantity of the soup is put into fresh
batch of broth, previously sterilized
by heat. If, on microscopic examina
ton, some hours later, no living bacilli
are found in the new broth, 1t Is
taken for granted that the stuff Is
all right, and the soup holding the de-
funct germs is put up in little glass
tubes. Each tube, after being steril-
lied, receives a certain number OF
drops of the immunizing fluid from

How Typhoid BaciIm Operate.
But, as already explained, the bacilli
are all dead. Why. then, should they
possess any usefulness? The answer Is
that, though defunct, they still contain
the peculiar and characteristic poison
belonging to this species of microbes.
They are powerless to engender ty-
phoid fever In the human body. but
the poison in question has the effect
of inducing the cells of the body to
manufacture particular antidote-the
antidote to typhoid.
When person is attacked by ty-
phoid fever, the germs, feeding on the
tissues, incidentally set free a consid-
cradle quantity of their specific poi.
son. This poison is injurious to the
body cells, which absorb more or less
OF it. But the cells, to protect them
selves against the enemy, proceed to
manufacture on their own account an
anti-poison-that is to say, substance
which in nine cases out of ten-if the
patient be properly cared for-kills off
the hostile microbes, and eventually
drives them out of the system. This
Is what happens every time when a
sufferer from typhoid recovers.

WAX FROM A MEXICAN WEED.
The Once Despised Candelilla Now
Worth $500 or More an Acre.

The Once Despised Candelilla Now
Worth $500 or More an Acre.
The discovery by Oscar Pacius of
Monterey of a process for extracting
wax from the candelilla weed is caus-
ing the establishment of new indus
try in Mexico and Texas. The can
delilla grows abundantly upon many
millions of acres of semi-arid land in
Northern Mexico and parts of Texas,
Arizona and New Mexico. Land owners
who have this formerly despised weed
growing upon their holdings are now
In fair way to reap fortune, Mon
terey (Mexico) correspondent of the
New York Sun says.
When 1t was discovered few years
ago that a good grade of crude rub
ber could be manufactured from the
guayule shrub experiments began to
be made by Mr.. Pacius and others with
various other kinds OF wild vegetation
to learn II they possessed commercial
properties. Mr.. Pacius found that the
candelilla contained wax to the amount
of 315 to Az per cent He gathered
a supply of the plants and began ex-
pcriments with a view of arriving at
a process of economical extraction OF
the wax. He perfected this process a
few months ago and 1t Is now in prac-
tical operation.
The manufacture of this vegetable
wax is already on paying commercial
basis. The demand for the product
comes at this time chiefly from Ger
many. The present price of the wax
IN Mexico Is $500 gold Q ton. II 10
said that it takes about thirty tons of
the weed to make one ton of the crude
wax. The cost of producing ton of
wax is SIS gold.
The land upon which the candelilla
weed grows profusely Is producing a
big revenue in the localities where
factories have been established. 1t is
said that where land is well set In the
plant 1t can be made to yield profit
of 5000 to $500 gold an acre year.
The candelilla wax is said to be
harder than any other wax. This fact
has caused 1t to be In demand for the
manufacture of phonograph records,
pharmaceutical articles, varnishes,
shoe, leather and wood polishes, insula.
tion in electrical wiring, gums, candles
and many other things.
The fact that the guayule shrub and
the candelilla plant are now known to
contain valuable commercial properties
has aroused the interest of the federal
authorities of Mexico and 1t is said
that series of chemical experiments
and tests of the various other desert
plants which cover great stretches of
land In Northern Mexico will be made
under the direction of the government,
with a view of discovering any com
merclal properties that they may con-
tain. One plant which grows profuse.
ly along the Rio Grande Is called
gubernador and Is being used extern
sively for the manufacture of boiler
compound. There are also two or three
kinds of shrubs and weeds which pos.
sess cleansing properties almost iden-
tical in effect with washing soap. The
roots of these shrubs are used by the
native Mexicans to the exclusion of
manufactured soap.

Unhoused and often unsheltered
wild animals suffer more than is gen.
