New knesthetic.

A new anesthetic is being used in
the treatment of wounded in the pres
ent war. 1t is understood to be re-
lated to amalgersine, a preparation dis
covered, as this, too, has been, by NJ.
Paulin, distinguished French chemist
and pupil of Pasteur. Its action is
not local; it operates upon the nerve
centers Of the body, and produces a
state Of obliviousness to pain which
may last for several hours. 1t is
claimed that by an injection of this
fluid into his system the wounded SOL
dier may be rendered unconscious suf-
flciently long to cover the period of his
removal to the station, where the first
serious treatment Of his injuries may
be seen to.

Franz Josef Land.

BY annexing Franz Josef Land, Rus
sia increases the number, rather than
the extent, of her possessions. The
archipelago consists of about sixty
islands, almost all of the group being
covered with snow-clad glaciers. The
Austrian pioneers believed they had
discovered continuous land, Dut their
successors, the first Of whom was Ben
jamin Leigh Smith, found that the ac-
QUESTION was broken up into islands.
Both Nansen and the duke Of the
Abruzzi have explored the group. Now
that Austria's arctic territory has
been captured, we may hear Of the
hosting of the British flag in Kaiser
Wilhelm II Land and Luitpold Land.

was discovered by the Gauss expedi-

to fifteen, according to the size Of the
hen. If eggs become broken while
the hen is setting, replace the nest
with new, clean material and wash
the eggs in lukewarm water SO as to
remove all broken egg material from
them. .'
Many eggs that are laid are infer
tile. For this reason 1t is advisable to
set several hens at the same time.
After the eggs have been under the
hen for seven days they should be
tested as to whether they are fertile
or infertile. Infertile eggs should be
removed and used at home In cook
ing or for omelets. and the fertile
eggs should be put back under the
hen. In this way it is often possible
to put all the eggs that three hens
originally started to sit on under two
hens and reset the other hen again. A
good homemade egg tester or candler
can be made from large shoe box
or any box that is large enough to go
over a lamp by removing an end and
cutting q hole little larger than the
size of a quarter in the bottom Of the
box, so that when 1t is set over
common kerosene lamp the hole IN
the bottom will be opposite the blaze.
A hole the size Of silver dollar
should be cut in the top of the box to
allow the heat to escape. An infertile
egg, when held before the small hole
with a lamp lighted inside the box,
will look perfectly clear, the same
as a fresh one, while the fertile egg
will show small.dark spot, known as
the embryo, with mass of little blood
veins extending in all directions If the
embryo is living. The testing should
be done in a dark room.
If the eggs hatch unevenly, those
which are slow in Matching may be
placed under other hens, as hens often
get restless after a part of the chick
ems are out, allowing the remaining
eggs to become cooled at the very tire
when steady heating is necessary.
Hens should be fed as soon as possi-
BILE after the eggs are hatched, as feed
ing tends to keep them quiet; other

TIME TO INVEST IN MULES
War Is Having as Great Influence on
Industry Ian on Market for
~".- Meat Animals.

To the man who has feed, but who
hesitates to invest in cattle or sheep,
either because OF the high initial cost
or the uncertain prospects at selling
time, may occur the idea Of feeding
young horses or mules. The war II
having fully as great an influence OF
the horse and mule business as Oh
the market for meat animals.
Seemingly, therefore, the present
time is most propitious for buying
young mules. They may be bought
$25 to $35 lower than usual, and when
they are three or four years old there
Is every reason to believe they can
be sold for $25 to $50 head more
than in an ordinary year heretofore.
Growing mules will have greater
value than usual during the next two
or three years, in case owners want
to borrow money on them.
In buying mule. colts, 1t is advis-
able to buy females. The cotton trade
pays SIS to s25 head more for mare
mules than for males, because they
are better shaped and look more trim.
Mare mule colts will cost SIS or $40 a
head more than males. Railroad con.
tractors and mine workers prefer
male mules because they can stand
more work, but the cotton trade pref
erence for females overbalances this
demand to the extent indicated.
Kansas and Missouri are the great.

ent time it Is possible to buy any
reasonable number Of weaving mule
colts within radius Of 100 miles, or
less, of Kansas City, in a compare

cotton growing states has between
100000 and 300, 1000 mules, Texas more
than 100000, but they raise compare

ANIMALS
TIMELY HINTS OF ssHEEPF0LD
Animals Of Medium Grade Lack condi-
tion and Quality Necessary to
Bring Best Market Prices.

Why. are purebred sheep the best
'or mutton? Because both lambs and
sheep Of the medium grade lack the
condition and quality necessary to
bring the best prices on the market.
Poorly bred sheep as a rule have
long, loosely-coupled bodies with lit
tie spring of rib and rough outline,
and are coarse and often paunchy.
This class Of animals Is not desirable,
and market buyers make the best of
their bad points. ..t.-...
A good thing to remember when
lambing time comes on: A lamb that
is so badly chilled that 1t 6ppears to
be dead, may be revived by pouring
down its throat a half pint Of warm
milk, into which a tablespoonful of
gin has been poured. If there is no
gin in the house, dip the lamb in
tubful Of warm water, dry 1t off with
a rough cloth and place 1t near the
stove. Get some warm milk into its
stomach, II possible, and In a few
minutes it will be as frisky as ever.
A bunch of sheep will clean up the
corhfield in which the stalks are left
standing in fine shape. They strip
of the blades and pick up every
kernel of stray corn left on the
ground. ..,g ...a r>
The great loss of lambs is, in some
instances, due almost entirely to the
fact that the ewes are allowed to run
down and become weak before wean-
ing time. ~ ~
