Quality rather than quantity marked
the operations of the brokers during

Besides the number of answers that were ap- proXimately correct. there were two which indicated that the students must have been absent either in body Or mind on the day when the school room ventilatoF had been discussed The first was, The ventilator lives in the mountains" the second. "Colum- bus was a great ventilator." When occasion offered the teacher reminded his class that attention and application are requisite for acquiring knowledge and seriously asked them why any one should have given an answer such as the one concerning Columbus. One of the best spokesmen in the class essayed an explanation somewhat as follows:

WINTER POULTRY ILLS.
Methods of Treatment Recommended Eor Catarrh and Liver Conoestion.

Methods of Treatment Reccumended
 For catarrh and Liver Congestion.
 One of the commonest of the winter diseases of poultry is eatarrh Cold. some eeople call il; others speak of it as roup. It is not this last. although so close is the resemblance at times that one could easily be misled. Any way, catarrh is serious enough It is catching also. Among birds roasting with heads pressed closely together the sick ones are sure to give 1t to healthy fowls IL seems to follow along the line of pure breeds This may be due to the fact that the penned breeding stock from which eggs and breeders have been bought has been housed too warmly and pampered and that somehow a predisposition to take on catarrh follows down through the generations.
 You will first notice 1t by a peculiar shake of the head. next a running at the nostrils and sometimes gurgling in the throat If you cannot master this phase of the disease in young fowls iE a few days. better kill them. The sniffy nosed should be separated from the well. housed by themselves. fed heavily on rich foods. with arsenite of antimony or qunine in drinking water and mash The head should occasion ally be dipped in kerosene-half water, half kerosene. Two applications have been known to stop the nostril dis charge Get arsenite tablets one one thousandth of grain in strength and place twelve of these in one pint of water. If you give quinine give two grains to the fowl per day. This dis ease is decidedly dangerous among the young fowls. so many die with inflam- nation of the lungs. which seems to follow the catarrh.
 The above disease is likely to take hold of the young in the cool days of fall. extending to the older fowls in winter. There Is one winter disease of fowls year old or over that is seldom known among the young-liver congestion. It is probably due to rich ration. like corn and lack of suf ficient grit. If one feeds sufficient bran with corn. as bran is laxative, the danger may be averted, though the grit be missing.
 Quite often one will not guess this trouble until the older. fatter hens begin dying. The remedy is varied food. grit and exercise-Farm and Preside

Tho Man With a Cold.

The sympathy given to the man with a hard cold is purely perfunetory. We know, or at least we think we know, that he will not die. We know that he is thoroughly wretched, yet we are equally certain that in three days or so he will be coming upstairs two at time. This does not comfort him, though he may know 1t himself He therefore feels himself an outcast, a pariah He is cut of from the ordinary human relations. If he so much as kisses his wife or child he is blackguard, mentally self convict ed of it. Nobody loves him, and he may go out into the kitchen and drink cough sirup.-Boston Transcript.

The Story of a Famous Hymn.

The famous hymn beginning God moves in a mysterious way" known as "Cowper's Hymn" had its ori- gin as follows: Cowper was all his life the victim of melanehoha and more than once attempted suicide One day, bent upon destroying himself, he got into cab and ordered the driver to take him to q certain point on the river where he intended to drown himself The cabman, noticing his strange appearance and feeling that all might not be right with him. drove him about the city and finally stopped in front of the poets door Stepping out and recognizing the old familiar surroundings and shocked at the thought of his narrow escape Cowper exclaimed. God moves In q mysterious sway bis wonders to per form," and. rushing in. immediately composed the immortal hymn.

BROWN ROT CONQUERED.
Belief Tha. Worst Foe of Stone Fruit

Belief That Worst Foe of Stone Fruit
 Growers Is Under Control.
 The Rural New Yorker says that brown rot, the most destructive fun gous disease known 10 the peach or chardist. has finally been put under control. J. H. Hale of Georgia and Connecticut paid his respects to the brown rot disease in the following terms: The brown rot Is so great factor for evil in the raising of peaches for the market that in a few years more it would have accomplished the complete failure of my orchard plant In the state of Georgia. We can mas ter or control every other enemy of the peach by up to date methods and precautions. but until now we have had no weapon that would touch the brown rot fungus" And then he con tinued to say that the use of the self boiled lime sulphur spray as foliage treatment for the peach tree, recently discovered by W. NJ. Scott of the United States department of agriculture. alone would swing the future status of my fortune from failure to success
 The importance of this spray to MT. Hale reaches 10 every other peach grower in the country. with somewhat less force except perhaps, to orchard ists in the arid regions of the west where the climatic conditions are un- friendly to the career of the dastruc tive fungus In the early peach sec ton of Georgia the work of Mir. Scott means the restoration of prosperous peach growing. where recently the in dustry has had 10 be abandoned solely ou account of brown rot. Gradually in the past fifteen years the peach bell has been pushed farther south into the humid regions of Georgia for the

Washing Your Hands.

When you go to the washstand and carefully wash your hands with gen. erous application of soap and hard brush do not think for an instant that your hands are clean. The tenacious microbe refuses to be disturbed and elings te the flesh throughout the whole operation. There are some chem teal compounds which will dislodge the busy bacilli to certain extent. but not entirely. According to the in- vestigations of q medical authority of the Prussian army, the best results In the direction of giving the hands q sanitary cleaning are accomplished by the use of alcohol. A bath of pure alcohol will remove about 90 per cent of the germs. Where tt Is desired to clean the hands hygienlcally 1t Is rec commended that the hands be not first washed with water, for this will so adulterate the alcohol that 1t cannot accomplish It's work as effectively as otherwise.

First, he misses the beauty which the growing tree i'm parts of his surroundings and the comfort its shade may afford the dwellers in his farmstead. both human and four footed: second. he loses the exaltation of feeling that ever comes from the exercise of the altruism which plans for coming generations regardless of oneself.-kansas Farmer.
