FREE TREATMENT

The sick and afflicted will be glad to
know of the coming of these physicians.
There are no physicians in the United
States, perhaps, better known than
these. Their cures are so numerous
and often of such miraculous nature
that many writers have claimed them
to be miracles 1t is said by those ia
miliar with their practice that they can
diagnose the disease of any person
without asking a question. This being
the case they are not liable to doctor
for the wrong disease.
In the treatment for consumption,
tumor, cancer, heart disease, nervous
trouble and rheumatism there are no
physicians better, experienced as they
are in thousands of such cases, they
know just what to do, what to give and
what to expect.
The coming of these physicians will
afford many patients an opportunity to
consult, to be examined, and treated alb
solutely without cost, except small
charge for medicine used in each indi-
vidual case.
This free treatment is for this trip
only, and is conditional that patients
cured will recommend them to others
in need of treatment and advice.

cluding milking regularly and thor
oughly, providing comfortable and
sanitary quarters for stabling, and
treating the COWS with greatest con
sideration at all times.
Important as these factors have
been in the past, they will continue
to be fully as important in the future
development of the dairy COW.
The first thing to be considered in
selecting a dairy cow is her ability
to produce butterfat. Twenty years
ago the average COW produced one
hundred and twenty-five pounds OF
butterfat per year, while at the pres
ent time it is safe to say that the
average of the cows of the United
States is close to one hundred and
seventy-fve pounds. The Babcock
test has been responsible to a great
extent for this increase in production,
inasmuch as it has exposed the non
producer, whereupon she has been
sold to the butcher. Every dairyman
should have pair of scales and a
Babcock test, and keep accurate rec
ords of the milk and butterfat pro-
duction of each and every cow of
his herd. This is the only guide that
can always be depended upon in the
selection of profitable dairy cows.
Type is another point to be con-
sidered. All dairymen recognize a
definite type as indicative of dairy
performance. The judge in the show
ring bases his judgment entirely upon
type. While it is true that practically
all economic producers conform to
what is known as the dairy type,
all COWS that conform to the dairy
type are not economic producers,
and, consequently, selecting by type
alone is uncertain business.
The health of the animal must be
considered. Cows that are diseased
in any way should never be kept for
milk production. The prevalence of
contagious diseases, such as tuber-
culosis and contagious abortion makes
extreme caution necessary in the Sc
lection of dairy cows. 1t is to the
interests Of everyone that these dis
eases should be stamped out as rap
idly as possible.
The breeding of the dairy COW is
also important. She need not be a
pure bred in order to be an economic
producer. In fact many high grade
cows are just as economic producers
as are the majority of purebreds. AS
a rule, however, the purer the breed
ing the more likely is the offspring
to resemble it's parents, and If there
are economic producers in a cows
ancestry, the more likely is she to
be an economic producer, providing
she is bred along the right lines.
In order to succeed with the dairy
COWS they must be treated as indi-
viduals, not as herds. Many dairy
men make this mistake, and wonder
why their herds do not pay. They
make the good COW help support the
poor one, and consequently get no
profit from either one.

Women Divers In Japan.

Among the many different methods
employed in Japan for pearl fishing
none is more interesting than that
employed by the women divers who
obtain the pearl oysters. Pearl fish
ing is conducted mainly by men div
ers in Australia and India and other
countries, but In the region about
Ago Bay. in the province of Shima,
as we'll as in other parts of the coun-
try, women are employed in diving.
tn" Mikimoto pearl farms lie at a
depth Of from FIVE to thirty fathoms,
with an average of ten fathoms. The
women dive to the bottom without
any special apparatus. and retain
their breath while they remain under
the water. They stay under the sur
face from one to three minutes. When
they are chilled they return TO the
shore, and warm themselves at fires
built in huts especially for the pur-
pose. and then return and resume
their work
