REMEDY FOR ANTHRAX
FOUND BY SCIENTISTS

Immunity from anthrax. a most de-
structive cattle disease. has been achiev-
ed by the Department of Agriculture. a
bulletin on the subject having just been
issued by the bureau of animal indus
try 1t is the work of Charles F. Daw-
son of that bureau
Anthrax is one of the oldest diseases
known, being mentioned by Moses in
Exodus 1t is fatal in sheep and cattle
and there are two forms in man. who
is sometimes infected. that are absolute
ly fatal History records some severe
outbreaks among human beings. There
was one outbreak near Naples in 1877.
when SOO60 people died, and there was
an outbreak in Santo Domingo in 171o.
when there were $1,000 victims.
Caused by Germ.
The disease is caused by a germ, and
all modern states that take the least
sanitary precautions guard the possibility
of infection severely. and insist on the
cremation OF all animals that have died
from the disease even sterilizing the
ground where the bodies have lain.
There was a system of vaccination de-
veloped by Pasteur in 1897 that gives
animals immunity from the disease, but
il takes about month for the immunit'
to become established During the in
terval IL there is an outbreak among
stock there is time enough for an AMI
NAL to take the disease and die.
Department System.
The system developed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture consists in injecting
serum from a previously immunized
sheep. This confers immediate immunity.
so that an animal can stand dose OF
5000 times the amount of virulent an
thrax bacilli that would kill an ordinary
animal. The immediate immunity lasts
long enough to allow the animal to he
effectively protected by the usual Pas-
teur vaccination.

TRADE ON INCREASE
Advance in Prosperity Re-
markabIe in Porto Rico.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS GAIN
Agricultural and Industrial Pursuits
in Better Shape Today
Than Ever Before.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS GAIN

A remarkable advance in the prosperity
of Porto Rico is shown in report Of
the agricultural experiment station on
the island. just published by. Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson. The total trade of
the island. exports and imports, in 1901
was $lI..O0.o0O. This increased in 1910 to
t;S,6O0noo. 1t is stated that this expand
ing trade has greatly affected not only
all the industries of the island, but has
materially increased the living standard
The whole prosperity Of the island. says
the report, is founded on the soil and
climate The natural resources have
long ago been exhausted by a popula-
ton that is thicker than that of any
state in the Union except two. The gold
mining which was a natural resource has
dwindled to nothing. The population, in
spite of being dense, is scattered over the
island rather than conferred in the towns
Therefore the agricultural population is
large and the material prosperity of the
people depends on the soil.
Big Exports of Sugar.
The exports of the island IN 1910 totaled
ST., 9Gp. 20 OF this S2400o,CU0 was in
sugar and moRsses. The sugar crop has
always been one of the chief relances
of the people and the fiat strip of land
around the seacoast has been devoted 10
sugar culture. Since the American oc-
cupaton of the island the sugar industry
has made phenomenal growth and future
expansion must be by methods of more
intensive cultivation. The industry is so
paying that the planters want to raise
sugar all the time and this is deprecated
by the department.. which is trying to
inaugurate system OF crop rotation as
being better and more conservative
system for the soil.
While the exports of coffee from the is
land last year were $685.. 6U2, there was
less than $4,000 worth of it sold in the
l-nited States. This Is said to be. due to
the fact that the coffee is very high
grade black coffee. such as is used large

which there is a comparatively small de-

To TELL POISON IVY.

A great many attractive things hove
danger for those who come in contact
with them. Among those IN the nat
ural world is poison ivy. which In the
fall In most sections is one Of the
most brilliantly colored vines to be
found. Many boys and girls and not
few older people do not know the
vine, and a word about 1t is In place
The most important distinctive fea
ture about It is that 1t has three leaves
In a cluster instead OF FIVE. as In thu
case Of the well known Virginia creep
er, which. though to be found In wood
lots all over the country. is frequently
used as a porch climber. Another
mark of the poison ivy Is the cluster
Of numerous smaA whftish berries
which 1t bears. not at all like the pur-
Pile berries OF the Virginia creeper.
In spite OF its name the poison Ivy
does very little climbing, but rather
sprawls and, as a rule. Is a short vine,
making comparatively slight growth
In single season. It cannot stand
cultivation and hence is most often
found along river courses. In pasture
lots and In fence rows and corners.

At the boom now there are about
100000 feet of logs extending over five
or six acres of river front. Half the
river from the Eastern Maine General
hospital down to Merrimac street is
completely filled with these products
of the Maine forests. Estimating each
log at 80 feet in length, there are So
900 logs in the boom or rated
In the method of rafting there has
been radical change since Mr.. Carlin
assumed management. Formerly the
logs were RATED in a string across
the river; now they are RATED length
wise of the river, which makes the
rafting a great deal easier and allows
of doing more work.
Besides the so men at the boom, the
Bangor Boom Co. has As men on the
drive. The drives left the Trip, just
above Milford Monday. There are
about 100000 feet in it, and they
make up what remains of the rafting
to be done.
