All Treatment Experimental

All treatment. however carefully
chosen, is in the nature Of an expert

ment OF drug on any individual patient

ninety nine persons but be injurious
to the one hundredth because of some

Typnoid Fever.

Typhoid is usually disseminated by
means Of impure water, milk or food
and sometimes by flies, but we must
not forget that, as Koch said, there is
no other source of infection of typhoid
than man. It is fellow creatures of
ours who are responsible for it's spread.

Shanghai and Salt Fish.

The city of Shanghai imported last
year about 100000 yen worth of salt
fish. The import of salt fish dates
three years back, and began with the
Introduction OF salt salmon from Pr.m-
erskaya (fiussian littoral province),
salt cod from kwangtung leased terri
tory, and salt sardines from Nagasaki,
says the Manchurian Daily News. In
addition to salt cod. the leased terri
tory exported 5000 yen worth OF
swordfish last year. This fish, which
owes its name to its likeness to a
sword in shape as we'll as in Its glis-
tening. scaleless body, is found in
great abundance in these coast va
tiers. The local quality is better suited
to the Chinese palate than imports
from Ningpo and ports on the North
China coasts. and has promising fu-
ture on the Shanghai market. In fact
the Chinese are heavy consumers Of
this fish. the total annual import TO
Shanghai reaching 100000 piculs.

The principal crops OF broomcorn
are raised in Kansas, Oklahoma and
southern Illinois, although this crop
will grow in other sections or the
country where soil and climatic condi
tons are favorable.
II is profitable crop as the price
per ton for the brush usually ranges
$4,000 for the lower grades that are
damaged by weather, and up to $3.50
aud over for the very best
In the southwest it is becoming
more important as a foliage crop and
il is used to considerable extent after
the brush has been removed. The
reed has small feeding value.
The two best types of broomcorn
grown in the southwest particularly Is
The Dwarf and the Standard The
Dwarf is much liked because ii grows
only from foug TO six inches high with
d brr an OF from ~ to 20 inches long.
however. this type Is better suited to
the semi-arid regions and to the up
lands of the broomcorn section In the
southwest The Dwarf is used great
deal in southern Illinois and other
middle states where it is grown in
small quantities
The soil should be plowed in the fall
Or early In the winter SO that ii will
retain as much moisture as possible.
About two weeks before planting the
land should be disked and narrowed.

a good sod crop.
Broomcorn plants are very tender
and make the most rapid growth in
warm weather. They will not stand

When large areas are planted the
most convenient way Is to divide the

or becoming too ripe.
In case farm hands are scarce the
scarcity is not SO keenly felt, for there
is not very large crop that demands
attention within a period of u few
days. A few hands can take care OF
comparatively large fields and it is
much more convenient than to plant
the whole field on a single date.
The method OF planting is about the
same as for Kaffir corn. Plant in rows
about three feet apart and four to five
inches apart in the row. The Stand

NEED NOT FEAR OCEAN PERIL
IMen Bearing the Name Of Hugh VII.
Iiars Apparently Are Immuns
From Death by Browning.

Among many English seafaring men
there Ii tradition that no man blessed
with the name OF Hugh Williams will
ever die at sea--a tradition based on
one of the most remarkable series OF
condolences ever recorded in the logs
pf those who go down 10 the sea In
ships.
The Last and most remarkable In
stance OF this immunity OF the Hugh
WilIlanses from death at sea occurred
in 1853. when coal barge was caught
in a storm IN the North sea and went
down.
There were nine men on board, and
all we're lost except two, who were
uncle and nephew and each of whom
was named Hugh Williams. For years
afterwarc the relatives OF the fortu'
nate men held yearly reunion to eel
,ebrate the day of deliverance from
what had seemed certain death.

FATAL DISEASE OF

Corn Belt Farmers Have Expert

Farmers in the corn belt especially
in the middle and upper Mississippi

An element of mystery has sur
rounded the death Of cattle in these
instances. The disease Is character.

very commonly there are no Fremont.
tory symptoms. and IL Is not unusual
for the owner upon visiting the field
in the morning to lind one or more fat
cattle dead which on the previous
evening were apparently in excellent
health.
Another popularity of the disease
IS that losses may occur on one farm
or in one field while cattle on an adj
joining farm or in an adjacent field
may be free from the affection
Various investigators in the past
have attempted to discover some germ
or organism or some toxic substance
which might be determined az the
cause Of this condition, but thus far
the cause OF the disease has not been
established
AS death OF stock from this affec.
ton is generally sudden and there is
little opportunity for treatment ami
mails should not be turned into field
with standing stalks
AS a matter OF fact the disease may
be actually prevented by cutting the
stalks early and only feeding them
after they have been carefully cured
and removed from the field. Losses
from feeding on standing cornstalka
emphasize the economic value of cut
ting the coru and feeding the stalks
in the barnyard or corral. or, better
still, shredding the dry stalks. under
which condition they may be fed with
the least possible waste.

PREPARE MANURE
FOR VEGETABLES
Fertilizer Should Be Hauled Out
and Built Up in Compact
Heaps in Field.

Manure for spring grains and early
vegetables must be hauled and built
up in heaps consisting OF alternate
layers OF horse manure, cattle manure
and manure from the hog pens. cover
each layer OF manure with rich earth
make the heap about eight or ten feet
in width, sxfeet in height and as long
ar wanted The drainage from the
pile should be pumped over Il from
time TO time. The urine will start
fermentation and by spring the entire
mass will become well rotted and IN
fine condition for spreading in the
drills for early vegetables or for broad
casting for small grain.
This is the method folio ed by mar.
ket gardeners and truckers;
large part Of the manure for the truck
farms comes from the city. This ma
nure is hauled during the winter and
composted with leaf mold. dried
muck. earth from the head lands and
other vegetable matter. Land plaster
is spread over each layer OF manure
TO hold the ammonia. The richness
OF the manure may be increased by
spreading % pounds OF finely ground
animal bone meal over each load OF
manure as it is piled The bone meal
acts quicker when rotted.
A number OF truckers use fine
ground Florida rock to mix with the
manure the two together is said TO
give compost at low cost and OF
special value to spread in the rows
for peas. beans and early corn.
Manure from granted horses should
be composted between layers of cat
tie or hog manure. heavily plastered,
and top and sides OF heap covered
with six inches Of earth to prevent

large heap without being composted

Feed Your Cows Well.

II sometimes happens that farmers
are In possession OF extra good cows,
but not realizing the amount OF feed
required by COWS giving a large yield,
they are soon allowed to shrink In
milk because the feed given does not
provide sufficient nutrimeut While
cows In good condition can, for a
time, give more milk than the feed pro
vides by drawing upon the fat stored
in the body, yet If the grain is not
gradually increased as the cows lose
in body weight. there will soon follow
an abnormal shrinkage In milk flow.
and also a decrease In the quality OF
milk yielded.
