Foo Membrane For Skin.

For long time doctors have been
looking for good substitute for hui
man skin for grating. The possibility
has lately been demonstrated by TAX
ing the membrane that lines the shell
Of newly laid eggs. plastering it over
the burn and making it grow as human
skin The discoverer of this process
was treating child who had pre-
viously been burned and in breaking a
raw egg he desired the child to swal-
low dropped part Of the membrane by
accident upon the burn and bandaged
the wound. Later on 1t was discOv-
cred that the accidental placing of the
egg membrane over the burn had caus-
ed cells to augment in number and
gradually to extend over the wound
until at the end of some weeks the sur
face was completely covered with the
new skin The treatment was called
to the attention of physicians. and it is
now being used to cure scalds.-Har-

An Alaskan Volcano,

Some of the exciting experiences. of
teachers and others in service in AL
aska are told in recent reports received
by the United States bureau of educa-
ton. One of the most interesting re-
ports describes the eruption of Matmai
volcano. in western Alaska. which de-
stroyed a native village and buried the
country for hundred miles in vOlcan-
ic ash. Three feet of pumice covered
the ground where the village of Kat
mai formerly stood. and the natives
had to flee for their lives. They were
eventually rescued by the United
States revenue cutter Manning and
taken to new site on Ivanoff bay,
where the government has set them
up in housekeeping. A school will
probably be established in the new
village.

THE UTILIZATION
OF ROUGHAGE
Disposal Of Coarse Feeds a
Problem to Be Solved.

Bulletin 1913 of the Indiana expert
ment station contains the significant
statement that "one Of the greatest
losses on the farm is due to the lack
of proper utilization of roughage in
cidental to grain production "
There are produced upon the farm
large quantities of rough feeds that do
not bring on the market prices TO JUS
tify the removal of such quantities or
plant food as of necessity accompanies
the sale of such products. Therefore
one of the greatest problems to be
solved in successful farming is the dis
poSaI of the roughage produced on the
farm in such way as to secure the
feeding value and at the same time
conserve the plant food therein con-
tanned.
1t is impossible to produce grain
without also producing large amounts
Of roughage. Since cattle are the most
satisfactory animals to consume large
quantities of roughage the solution of
the roughage problem lies largely with
this class OF stock. and with it rests
the real value of roughage grown on
the farm Cattle feeding is coming
more and more to be considered as
means of marketing grain, conserving
soil fertility and completely utilizing
the roughage produced on the farm
rather than II means of commercial
speculation.

Dairy Wisdom.

Cows TO do justice to good feed
must have proper care and stabling to
keep them in a thoroughly thrifty con-
ditiOn.
The only luck in dairying results
from good. careful management. which
commences with the calf and follows
along through every operation connect
ed with the business.
Some otherwise good buttermakers
fail to get the butter sailed evenly
One reason is that small amount of
butter loses more salt in proportion
during the working process than a
large churning.
Alfalfa meal is very appetizin@
dairy feed. Cows make good use of it
and give much more milk when it is
used. Like other concentrated feeds it
must be used with caution until the
cows become accustomed to 1T.
