FARMERS IN AUSTRALIA
MAY CULTIVATE 'P0SSUMS
Fur of Animals Now in Great De-
mand by European Dealers

MELBOURNE, Nov. 12.-Possum
farming is the latest suggested devel-
opment of the agricultural industry.
The proposal is due to the gradual
determination of the playful marsupial,
which seems to be proceeding in
Australia.
It is the curator of the geological
gardens of New South Wales who Of
fers it. He expresses the opinion that
1t is not only practicable, but might
be made extremely profitable. A
means would be provided, he points
out, of utilizing land which is useless
for anything else, while the possum
would not only be preserved, but would
become a very valuable asset. With
possum skins quoted at present prices,
and a steadily rising market, farm
that would return thousands of skins
a year at very little outlay to the
farmer would establish an important
industry.
The extent of country too poor for
anything, which would not carry one
sheep to three acres, but which would
suit the purpose of a possum farm is,
he points out, considerable. Incapable
of sustaining stock, this land would
carry from $50 to 500 possums an acre.
Taking a percentage of half male and
half female animals, there would be
a probable crop of between 1875 and 250
an acre, by killing only males and per-
mitting the females to bring up their
young. The possum farmer could, by
judicious planting, combine timber
growing with his farming-growing
food and sticks ~ the same time. The
fur OF the possum, it is pointed out, lis
in increasing request, the more so that
it is used largely as substitute for
the furs of the -other fast-disappearing
animals.

1000 FOOT OCEAN LINERS
IN RANGE OF POSSIBILITY

LONDON, Nov. 12.-It is stated that
for some time both the Cunard COM
pany and a German steamship line
have been contemplating the creation
of new ocean monsters that would
render the Olympic as small, compare
lively, as she has done the Lusitania
and the Mauretania. The Hamburg
American company has been spoken of
in well-informed circles as likely to
build a boat $50. feet in length by SO
feet in width, which is about 80 feet
in excess of the overall length of the
Belfast record holder; and If the
Cunard means still bigger things the
1910 feet spoken of would not, the
Glasgow News says, be widely out of
the way. There seems little doubt, In
any event, so rapid is the progress in
naval architecture, that, provided suf-
ficiently big docks are provided, naval
architects bold and enterprising enough
will be found to design ships far ahead
of anything yet in existence.

sHUT-UP BEDROOMS

Slowly, far too slowly, we are real
izing how dire is the danger we incur
every time we sleep in bedrooms with
the windows shut close. After all, we
ought to feel it a kind of slur on our
intelligence and a libel on our healthy
temperate climate, that consumptiVe
sanatoria should be considered neces-
sary for this country. 1t has been es-
tablished beyond doubt that fresh air
is not only curative, but also preven-
tive of tuberculosis; and surely II
would be better to impress this fact
deeply upon the mind of the rising
generation rather than cram it with
pabulum which produces only mental
indigestion. The prejudice against the
open window is, so deep rooted in some
country homes that it is only through
the children that it will ever be de-
stroyed. Even worse is the prejudice
against night air. Many people who
ought to know better will contend that
night air is dangerous on account OF
its dampness. One can quite under
stand that for persons suffering from
bronchitis and asthma the cold night
air may be dangerous, but for compar-
atively healthy people, both cid and
Young, cold night air, even If 1t is
slightly damp is infinitely healthier and
safer to breathe throughout the night
than the slowly poisoning air OF the
closed bedroom.

THE DEMON CANDY

Not long ago a New York paper
published a long and Illuminating ar
ticIe in which it estimated that the
annual expenditure for confectionery
in this country would pretty nearly
build two Panama canals-an interest
ing figure when compared with the
statement of certain physicians that
the same phenomenon is in way to
impair several million alimentary ca
nails. Doctors, as the typical citizen
with a growing family has had oc-
casion to discover, are not altogether
in agreement about the results or
candy eating. There are those who
maintain that candy is a most de-
sirable addition to diet, and others
who claim with equal vehemence that
it should be Immediately subtracted.
Children, in rare but discoverable
cases, are being brought up in igno-
rance of the dangerous factor the
dangerous theory, according to the
way you look at it-that candy is
edible. They are taught to regard
confectionery as thing of merely
aesthetic beauty-obviously on the
theory that when they grow older
they will no more think of eating a
chocolate drop than they would of
eating the Shaw acknowledgement
