Farmers Ask New Institute Plan

Owosso farmers of
Owosso are starting an agitation
against county farmers Institutes as
at present conducted. 1t is declared
that they are practically worthless
and waste of the states money
first because only few farmers ever
attend; and second, that those who do
are as capable as the institute lead
ers. Within ten years hundreds of
foreigners have rented or purchased
farms in the county, attracted from
Europe to raise sugar beets. They
never attend the Institutes. and it is
believed one-day meetings held in
school buildings in the heart of these
foreign settlements would produce
better results.

But, as the Judge pointed out, down to
the fall of Parncl. Ireland had never
surrendered her claim to absolute in
dependence. His successor it was who
first abandoned il. BY so doing he
outraged the national tradition, and
today he is a leader without follow
ers, one might say, man without a
country. He has been repudiated by
his best friends and staunchest sup
porters on this side of the water AS
for Ireland, it is at least very doubt
full If he could be elected at present
to any constituency within her four
seas. What Redmond has not seen
was visioned by the great mind of
Newman. Discussing the Irish ques-
tion with some friends he emphasized
the force of the argument derived
from Ireland's enduring protest
against English rule, and he added:
"If l were an Irishman l would be a
rebel"
O'Neill Ryan is an honor to his race.

John was depressed and distracted.
He did not notice that a yelled lady

INFECTS THE BLOOD
Why the Bite of a MOSQUITO
Causes Malaria.
Scientists Have Definitely Ascertained
Cause OF the Disease-Only Pre-
ventive Is Complete Extern

What happens in your blood when a
malaria mosquito bites you, and what
happens in a mosquitoes blood when
1t sucks that of a person who has ma
laria, is well illustrated in the &C
companying diagram, taken from In

A, formerly principal of tn East

published in America by the Century
company.
Let US suppose that female mos
quito has just imbibed a drop of blood
from an infected man; along with the
blood, and in the blood corpuscles,
several exceedingly minute FEATURES
known as gametocytes pass into the
stomach Of the insect (See cut Al
These blood parasites are not all OF
the same size, the smaller ones, known
as undergraduates, carry out male
functions, while the larger micro
gametocytes may be regarded as fe-
males. These two forms of the same
parasite pass through certain changes
(B and c., and eventually unite CD.
The single organism thus formed be-
comes a wormlike, moving creature
called vermieulus (E).
The vermiculus Denetrates the
walls of the mosquito -tomach and
passes to the external muscular lay
ers, where it grows rapidly and its
nucleus becomes much divided Of and
CD until it is merely sac filled with
many rodlike bodies .,nown as 9poro-
zoites. The sac bursts and liberates
these sporozoites into The MOSQUITOES
body cavity CID About ten days aft
er the meal of infected blood these
sporozoites are in the mosquitoes sail
vary glands, ready to infect the first
human being the insect bites.
When the mosquito punctdres the
skin countless numbers of these min
ute sporozoites are injected into the
wound. They instantly attack the red
corpuscles of the blood, each entering
corpuscle, where it quickly loses its
elongate form and assumes that of a
signet ring CD. This changes form |
until it has divided up into a multi |
tude of tiny organisms known as |
merozOites OK and u.
The corpuscle is now dead or dying. |
and it soon bursts, setting free the !
multitude of sporozoites into the
blood stream. These again attack the
healthy red corpuscles, and the proc
ess of destruction is repeated.
AS the original sporozoites attack
the red corpuscles at the same mo-
ment, and as their development takes
a certain time, usually about forty
eight hours, they are all liberated
This process is re-
peated over and over again in a
rhythmic cycle, and every time the
red corpuscles burst and liberate the
merozoites the chill that is so char
acteristic OF malaria comes on. This
usually takes place every forty-eight
hours, the intervals being filled with
more or less severe fever

'troyed by the antitoxins of the blood
