THE CALL TO THE HUSBANDMAN

The Macon Telegraph adds it's earn
est plea to the many that are going
up to the farmers to turn their at
tention more to the producing of food
supplies. That part of the nation not
occupied directly in agriculture has
had its attention more than ever con-
eentrated recently on the fact that it
is dependent on the farms of the land
for its food and for many of the raw
supplies that enter into its varied in
dustries. The farmer looms far more
prominent figure in the eyes of the
general public than he has ever done
before. The nation off the farm might
well be pictured as holding outstretch-
ed hands to him, pleading for more
food and lower prices.
In giving a summary Of the condi-
tons as they exist in Georgia in this
connection, The Telegraph has this 10
say:
In 1860. when the population in
Georgia was 1867 ,2S6, there were in
this state 2,036,116 hogs In 1907
with a population of 100000, there
were only ,599, 900 hogs.
With the population doubled, the
number of hogs has been reduced
nearly one-half
In 1860 there were 299,6SS COWS. In
1907, 308,000-an increase only of s.
212.
In 1860 there were oxen and other
cattle, 706,194 In 1907, 6S0,000-de-
crease of 26,194l
In 1860, there were 512,618 sheep.
In 1907, 269,O00-a decrease of 243,-
618!
These figures are amazing, and yet
they are based on actual statistical
returns.

LIGHT ON MEDICAL QUESTION
Scientific Analysis Of the Ability Of
Individuals to Weep "Tears
Of Blood"

The belief that certain individuals
are able to weep tears Of blood is Of
such antiquity that the German
equivalent for bitter tears" is "blut-
ige thranan," bloody tears" There
seems. however, no authentic instance
Of blood being actually secreted by
the lachrymal gland.
Micas has published very inter-
esting article on real and false tears
Of blood. It is clinical study on
con1unctival hemorrhage. Some years
ago the author was consulted about a
boy aged IL years who. from the
slightest cause, such as laughing, or
sometimes apparently for no cause
whatever. wept tears Of blood-an oc.
currence often repeated several times
day. The lad was pale and ener-
vated from constant hemorrhage.
The sSlrce of the bleeding was the
tarsal conjunctiva. which was covered
with fine papillae. and light cauter-
ization with the galvano-cautery re-
suited in a cure.
This case led the author to study
the literature Of the subject. He
found that in none of the cases cited
is 1t certain that the blood did not
come from the conjunctiya or from
the lachrymal passages. He feels
that 1t is unwise to deny the posi-.
bility OF sanguineous secretion from
he gland. but that examples in which
other sources cannot be shown to be
resent must be exceedingly rare.
