Mental Training For Farmer

i education worth while for the
farmer 4 great many indefinite
answers have been given by people
who have only their own opinions
AMI limited observation 4 more
dciinttc answer has Just been given
by Professor o K. johnson Of the
Missouri University College Of Agri-
culture Professor johnson has
carefully studied data, secured by
visits to $50 farmers, 554 o, whom
had only rural school education,
while the remainder had secured
unure OF less additional training
While he recognizes the fact that
this additional training Is not solely
responsible for the better showing
made by the better educated man.
there is every reason to believe that
their additional education has been
q very valuable investment from
the standpoint OF the pockev.book as
we'll as that OF social service, which
is not 81 easily measured.
The better trained men secured
average labor incomes of 1856
year or within Sli0 Of twice as
much as those who had only dis
trlct school educationS. This labor
income is the net return left after
allowing 5 per cent interest on the
value OF the farm and equipment
used and reasonable charges for
other items The educated farmer
handled more land of a higher aver
age value per acre and rented from
Others only one-tifth Of the farm he
operated while the less educated
man rented nearly two-fifths. The
same general difference appears,
though not ALWAYS to SO great eX-
tent. in the number of acres hand
led per man employed, the number
of acres handled per horse, and the
yield secured per acre.

BY NO MEANS NEW DISCOVERY
Anclents Were Well Aware of the
Value Of Perfumes In Treatment
of Diseases.

1t was recently announced, as
discovery In medical science, that
nausea, after surgical operation
under ether, could be prevented by
patients inhaling a favorite perfume
This may be new as a post-operative
treatment, but 1t is an old palliative
for travellers afflicted with NAL de
mer on land or sea, for train sick
ness Is almost as common as sea-
sickness. Numerous headache col
ognes" as we'll as favorite perfumes
have been found efficacious as a pre-
tentative Of nausea at sea. Many
travellers find that even the aroma Of
an orange or lemon helps them over
a threatened attack of seasickness.
One need not peel or eat the fruit
The desired result can be secured by
merely scratching at the skin and thus
liberating it's aromatic essence.
History states that perfumes were
used by the ancients both as medic.
aments and as instruments of injury.
SO It would appear again that there
is nothing new under the sum- Ger
tain groups of colognes have peculiar
effects; for instance. the fruit essences
by blending produce the odor of any
fruit. Their use is inhibited by the
fact that they irritate the respiratory
organs. producing coughing and head
aches. Other perfumes have sedative
effects, and their use is recommended
for nervous people. The employment
of perfume as a preventive of nausea
would therefore seem to be merely
variation of the principle of using col
ors in the treatment of peculiar all

THROWS ITS LIGHT AFFAIR
.searchIIght placed on coIIapsibIe
Tower Worked by Man 100
Yards Away.

The searchlights now used at the
front are not only extremely powerful
but they are mounted on swift motor
cars, SO that they can be moved to
any desired point at night as quick
ly as possible, Pearson's Weekly says.
These searchlights, too, are mount
ed on portable collapsible towers
which can be run up a height Of 30
feet or 80 very quickly. The light is.
as rule, worked by an observer who
fs at least hundred yards away from
it, so that he is pretty safe from be-
ing hit by the rain of shells which
are always turned on to these lights
by the enemy.
The towers are run up by means
Of compressed air carried in cylin-
ders on motor cars, which also carry
the electrical apparatus for working
the light. All the movements. verti-
cal as we'll as horizontal, are controlled
by long cable.
These searchlights, which are
much more powerful than those used
in any other war. will pick up a Yep
pelin, no matter what height it has
risen to. They carry, indeed, to
distance of six miles, though for
picking out soldiers the nearer the
better, not only because they show
them up more clearly, but because the
light dazzles the eyes and throws the
men into confusion.

FAMOUS BUILDING IN PERIL
Roof Of Westminster Hall Found 10
Have Been Weakened Through
Work Of Worms.

Lately everybody has been alarmed,
with good reason, about the safety of
the foundations of st. Paul's Cathe-
dral at London Now 1t is the turn
of an even more ancient building,
Westminster hall, which is closed for
repairs. 1t is true that the stability
of the great Hall of William Rufus"
Is not threatened like that of the
Cathedral, but the cleaning operations
on the interior of the open roof have
disclosed very serious condition Of
affairs The Irish oak, of which that
roof is composed, has been attacked
for years past by worms and is now
in such state that it has been found
necessary to take out whole portions
of 1t, in some cases large portions,
and replace them with new wood.
This hammer beam roof. which has
been deemed one of the finest carpen-
tering feats in the whole world. did
not form part of the hall as originally
constructed by William Rufus in 1899.
but was added In 1897 by Richard IL.
The extension of which 1t formed a
part was a notable architectural per-
Torrance, for the walls were carried
up two feet higher. and not only were
the windows altered but a fine new
porch was included in the scheme.
The roof, with its hammer beams
carved with angels, was built accord
ing to the designs Of the master
mason of the period, Henry de Yeve-
ley.

HAS SEA euLLs AS PETS
Wisconsin Girl Has Tanned Birds
Which Are az a Rule Slow to
Approach Human Beings.

Visitors to Green island are treated
to a rather unusual sight nowadays.
Marinette (Wis.) dispatch to the
Milwaukee Leader says A girl comes
out of the lightkeeper's house and,
standing near the door, gives a pecu-
liar call:
"Cooty, cooty. cooty! Here, cooty!"
And following the direction of her
gaze, the visitors see three awkward,
longlegged sea gull babies, running at
the top of their infantile speed toward
the girl
Showing not the slightest hesitancy
or fear, the birds gather about the
girl. who feeds them table scraps and
fondles them. The small gulls dis
play not the slightest evidence of
shrinking from her touch. and gobble
voraciously at the scraps.
The girl is the daughter of Frank
A. Drew, head lightkeeper of the
Green island light-the beacon which
is raised by the sailors headed toward
Marinette long before the red harbor
light is to be seen.
The gulls are members Of the ex-
tensive gull colony which summers

they were tiny birds. Matched but q
short time. They proved most re-

of "Cooty. cootyl" meant delectable

HOT BATHS CURE DELIRIuM
Recommended by Eminent Physicians
az the Best Remedy That Has
Been Discovered.

There are two kinds Of delfrium,
that which accompanies fever and
that which is afebrile, following a
serious Illness or the result OF ex-
haustion or shock The first Is caused
by the poisoning Of the neurones Of
the brain cortex by the toxins Of
disease.
Dr. Edward Livingston Hunt, assist
ant professor of clinical neurology,
College of Physicians and Surgeons,
Columbia university. told the East
New York Medical society recently
that the four things to do in delirium
were: "a To secure sleep; (2) to
overcome the motor unrest; 90 to
prop and maintain the patients vital
ity; "a to discover and II possible
remove the cause.
He deprecated the use of drugs to
produce sleep, and said hot baths at
80 to IS degrees, lasting from half
an hour to two hours, with the hot
water running constantly to maintain
the same temperature. was the best
treatment. Where such hot water
baths were impossible. a wet pack
was the best substitute This con-
sists of sheet wrung out in warm
water, which covers the patient. Over
this are placed blankets tightly drawn
with the arms held down. The
patient must be kept In this for an
hour
A delirious patient must be kept
in bed. Liquid nourishment must be
given constantly and persistently The
best form is eggs and milk.
The heart must be watched, and al
the first sign Of failure strychnine
and digitalis must be administered
Only physician can do this.
The bowels and kidneys also must
be kept steadily at work.
