Treatment for Lump Jaw.

Lump jaw is due to fungus which
is usually taken into the animals sys-
tenn in feed consumed. Lump jaw is
liable to affect the glands of the
throat or the bones of the head, writes
Doctor David Roberts in American
Cultivator. 1t is not advisable to keep
an animal thus afflicted lingering in
herd. On the other hand it is adj
visable to either treat such an animal
or kill it, as such animals invite dis
eases into the herd owing to the fact
that they are so reduced in vitality
that they have no resisting power.
A remarkably large per cent. of such
cases can be successfully treated if
taken in time by opening up the en-
largement and washing it out with
strong antiseptic solution, like five of
carbolic acid in water, and putting the
animals on a, tonic. In this way the
afflicted animal is not only saved, but
the entire herd is protected against
disease

Names Arbor Day,

Gov. Warner issued the annual
Arbor day proclamation, which reads
as follows:
The season OF planting and seed
time has come, and in compliance
force of law, / hereby designate Fri
day. April 20, 1910. as Arbor day.
The increasing Importance OF this
day and its observance is urged upon
our citizens. Plant a tree should be
the watehword OF everyone fortunate
enough to own a portion OF Michi-
gan's fertile soil. The homes and
our state should bear evidence in the
years TO come that their future beauty
and utility were kept in mind by those
in whom their stewardship has been
placed
I'VE owe this to posterity. but we
will not have TO wait beyond our own
time for the reward. A love for ma
should be inculcated in the youth Of
our land. and there should be pro-
gram arranged for every school for
Arbor day with this end in view. The
planting OF the trees and the sowing
of the seed should be followed by eN
ercises that will make the day dis
tinctive in the lesson that IL teaches.
"Those in authority In our cities and
villages may well call the attention of
the people TO the day and the senti-
ment that first brought about it's OBJ
servance Better care OF the parks
and Fairgrounds, improved conditions
surrounding the public places Will be
more valuable service can be rendered
the people than the impressing upon
them of the fact that this day means
much to them and others"

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

Il am man seventy years old. My

open on the insides for over year

so that l could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that | could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. / called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. / could get nothing to do any
good till got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time l began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite, sore since. / would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.

F. Hopkinson Smith denounces New
York as the most insolent city on the
face of the earth apparently on the
ground that people in New York are in
a hurry. and. being in hurry, neglect
some of the little amenities of social
intercourse, says Minneapolis Journal.
This is far from making his case. In
science may be of two kinds, the in
science of hurry, and the insolence of
leisure. We have In this country prac-
tically none of the latter. 1t springs
from the presence of class of society
upon which another class waits. We
lack this in America, where outside of
sleeping car porters and the negligible
class of walters In restaurants where
the dishes are more notable than the
food, every man works for what he
gets and gets only what he works for.
One must go to the lands where the
tip has blossomed to reach the acme
of insolence. In America it is only in
the bud. Would that it might be
nipped there.

GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito-
ba, dated March Is, 1910 says: That
Germany is anxious to secure share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal." The recent adj
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development
OF trade between the two Countries
is now certain. The great men of
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With its present $780,
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase it almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of its increasing popula-
ton, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatfields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc-
zion of the United States, and but
twelfth Of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit of the demand for Canadi.
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov
eminent gives away in go acre
blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
SIS an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, saskatchewan, former resi-
dent of Minnesota says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels of
wheat TO the acre and had 80 acres of
it; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which had fax of which got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres
in oats and got 20 bushels per acre
and 500 bushels potatoes on one and
three quarter acre, and can therefore
safely say that / had a fine crop and
am well satisfied with my homestead"
He is considered but a small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others, hundreds of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly
greater. The story of the experience
of American farmers in the Canadian
West is long one. The time to go,
would appear to be now, when splen-
did selections may be made, and
where land can be purchased at prices
that will be doubled in couple of

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
When baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality, the poor
little thing was starving. his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed Sec
ond which he likewise finished.
1T was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
I'VE have put before him other
foods, but he will have none of them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him so much good-his old
friend Grape-Nuts.
Use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and | can never praise
GrapeNuts enough after the bright.
ness II has brought to our household"
Grape-Nuts is not made for baby
food but exnerience with thousands of
babies shows it to be among the best,
If not entirely the best in use. Being
a scientific preparation of Natures
grains, IL is equally effective as body
and brain builder for grown-ups.

CONTROL OF THE AIR.

Who owns the air? That question
will have to be decided one of these
days. both in relation to airships and
10 wireless telegraphy and telephony.
With airships it still remains an aca-
demic question. but 1t is live issue
on the Atlantic coast In connection
with the telegraph. says Indianapolis
Star. Amateur operators. some Of
them with high-power stations. are
very numerous, and they assume that
they have a right to use their appara-,
tus at any time. The most of them
are boys without a sense OF RESPONSE
bility, and many are mischievous. Be-,
cause of these complaints Massa-,
chusetts member of congress proposes,
that some action be taken to regulate
this form of telegraphy. His plan Is,
Tor the president to appoint board Of
experts, which shall formulate rules
for the control of its operations. these
rules later to be submitted to con-,
gress TO be enacted into law. This
plan meets with approval. but strong
opposition to 1t has developed. 1t
might be thought that amateur opera
tors could not muster much strength,
but they have certain commercial in
terests behind them. 1t is estimated
that there are not less than 10000 anna
teur wireless stations in the United
States with the number growing rap
idly. New York city has thousand,
Boston $50. and they are especially nu-
merous along the coast, where are
many regular stations and much COM
munication with ships. The dealers
in wireless apparatus are interested In
encouraging the demand and are OPP
posed to the regulation suggested.

Care of Horses Feet.

If the horse already has defective
feet keep them carefully trimmed and
shod if necessary. The soft hoof
should be shod and reshod every six
or eight weeks in winter where the
ground is frozen and at all times of
the year where the roads are rocked
or gr2veled. BY keeping the horse
with poor feet properly shod it will
do good service without loss of time.
