Treatment of Burns.

The character of first aid measures
adopted in the emergency of a severe
burn or scald determines, more than
in most household emergencies, the
final outcome. II is very easy to infect
a burn with unclean dressings, and so
cause an excessive formation of scar.
Right here il should be observed
that there is no specific remedy or
medicament against scar formation
in burns or elsewhere. There are
plenty of sure preventives suggested
by irresponsible persons. most OF
them harmless enough, some of
them distinctly injurious. The only
known way to obviate excessive
scar formation in burns or wounds
is to get the skin closed over the
wound as quickly as possible. This
is accomplished by nature, assisted
by intelligent cleanliness, interfered
with by foolish experiments recon-
mended by ignorant or irresponsible
individuals.
Relief of pain and safe temporary
treatment is the indication TO be
met, pending the arrival of a doctor
Do not attempt to smear the part

the use OF the larger individuals OF
the native cattle for working purpose
is reported.
In the United States we find the
largest number of work cattle in New
England and all through the entire
Appalachian region. They have been
used continuously in this region since
the first settlements by white men.
1t is through these sections, especially
in the sections farther north, that we
find distinct indications of a revival
of interest. Formerly almost any
kind of steer was used for work pur-
poses, but now they are exercising
considerable judgment in the selection
of work cattle. They generally pre-
fer one of the beef breeds, although
Sussex and Devon steers are found.
They have been shipping in some cat'
tie from the corn belt for work cattle.
The local and state fairs are making
classes for work cattle and attractive
prizes are offered for both individual
and town teams. In some of these
local shows a lively interest is shown,
and the use of the most desirable type
or oxen is encouraged.
In England oxen were used to
much greater extent than now. In
practically all the older English books
on agriculture there was goodly
portion devoted to the "oxe." If we
are going to work oxen we should
work only the best that are suited for
draft and should work them in the
most economical way. The number
of oxen in use today is far greaser
than the attention paid to their selec-
ton and management would indicate.
While they are not adapted to all sec
tons there are conditions under which
they are proving profitable. A yoke

its place on some farms in the rougher
sections of the east, the same as the

NOURISHMENT IN EGGS
They Agree With a Large Majority Of
Perso1s-Good for Nervous.

Kansas City Times: Patients suf
fering from nervous prostration, NAL
nutrition, tuberculosis or any disease
that requires building up by forced
feeding are first and foremost given
eggs as a food and medicine
The reasons for this are several.
For one, eggs are very easily digested,
and, while there are always TO be
found people with whom even the
most digestible of foodstuffs will dis
agree through some idiosyncrasies Of
their constitution, ii is safe to say
that eggs will agree with the large
majority of people.
But the most interesting reason is
the direct result upon the nervous sys-
tenn of the lecithin found in eggs.
1t is q medicine that has long been
administered in cases of nervous dis
orders and malnutrition, when 1t Is
much needed for the brain cells and
nerve centers. 1t is found largely IN
certain brain cells; and when. during
nervous disorders, these cells are IN
sufficiently nourished by their own
supply of lecithin an extra amount Is
needed to build them up. The aver
age egg contains about Is grains OF
lecithin-a very fair sized dose in IL
self
Eggs are. of course, almost unlvers,
