Dyed Furs Cause Skin Diseases.

Cases of skin disease caused by dyed furs have become so common that Dr. George Manghill Olson of Minneapolis urges, in the Journal of the American Medical association. that the use of the dye called par aphenylendiamin and known to the trade as paramine, ursol, etc., be pro- hibited by law. All the cases report ed are traceable to furs dyed brown or black with this dangerous deriva- tive of anilin.
 The trouble comes generally on the neck where the fur collar has been in contact with the skin, and appears often after the fur has been wet by rain, snow or the breath of the wear CT. CT after the wearer has had a close shave. The black pony coats worn by women are the worst offenders, as all of them are dyed with parapheny- lendiamin. Its presence can generally be detected b. examining the roots of the hairs, which will show here and there an unnatural brick-red color.

its latticed galleries and stately pill lars gleaming white and iridescent." This is comparatively modern, of course. The oldest building" in the mine is the Chapel of St. Anthony. dating from 1891. It contains three altars, a pulpit and much statuary. all elaborately carved out of rock salt. But services are now held only in the more modern but equally elaborate Chapel of St. Cunigund, which is en. tered down 46 salt steps. The chapel is 50 yards long, 15 yards wide and 30 feet high. and is used regularly for worship. The ballroom is a huge place, where miners festivals are of ten held. A miners orchestra plays regularly in this hall not only for the dances, but for the entertainment of visitors. for the mine is one of the wonders of the world and is much wis tied by tourists. There are other big halls in the mine carved in the same way. The mine has been worked for at least 500 years.

HAS GREATEST SALT MINES
Galician Town of Wielczka Is Built Over Most Wonderful Caverns
 in World.

Wieliczka, in G2licia is an interest ing town, not for what is in it, but for what is under it. The salt mines there are the greatest in the world, and the most wonderful. They form what amounts to an underground town, which might have suggested to Jules Verne his underground commu- nity in the Children of the Cavern. The Wieliczka salt mine is two and One-half miles long from east to west and 1,050 yards wide from north to south. It has seven levels, the lowest being nearly thousand feet deep, and is entered by eleven shafts. The diff ferent levels are connected by flights of steps hewn out of the rock salt In the mine there are chapelS, tramways, a railway and railway station, ball room (with regular orchestral and several other halls, all hewn out of the rock salt with elaborate architectural decoration. For a hundred years the mine has belonged to the Austrian government. It employed a thousand workpeople and turned out 60,00O tons of salt year.
 There are 65 miles of pony tram ways and 22 miles of railway in the Wieliczka salt mines. All these lines and the principal passages or streets" meet in a sort of central railway sta tion, with spacious waiting rooms, of fees and an excellent refreshment room all complete, all hewn out of the rock salt, and looking. according to one description, more like a summer pavilion Ian a railway station, with

SOME YOUNG LAMBS
 NE ED SPECIAL CARE.
When Young Animal Becomes Chilled Wrap It in Blanket
 Hard to Raise by Hand.

A farmer who keeps sheep nearly al- ways has few lambs needing special care in order to save them.
 If one is found chilled, it should be wrapped in an old coat or blanket, and placed near a fire to warm.
 A few drops of some hot liniment. with little of the ewes milk. warmed with hot water, fed to the lamb a tea spoonful at time ten or fifteen min- utes apart, will soon warm 1t up un- less too far gone when discovered.
 Sometimes tho lamb will need . good rubbing around the throat and limbs before 1t can swallow. They should not be rubbed too much, how ever. as the mother knows her young by the smell. and it makes work to raise them by hand.
 This can be done successfully if one is careful in feeding. A lamb will do the best on a bottle, but it is a little more work than teaching 1t to drink.
 It is best to use the ewes milk, if possible, for week or two. as one has to be careful in feeding with cows milk. If cows milk is used, it should be made half water, sweetened little with sugar. Feed sparingly. about as one would baby. about once an hour at first, and farther apart as they grow older. If the lamb is small a table spoonful will be enough at first.
 As the lamb grows older make its feed one-third water and feed more.

cold weather they will wear a "timiak," which is made of bird skins and is purchasable for about four dollars. The women also wear short trousers of seal fur with the hair outside, with or namental stripes stitched down the front. Long seal-leather boots known as "kamiks," dyed to suit the various tastes of the wearers, are worn by the women. The kamiks come nearly up to the knee and are topped with some sort of lacework which comes well above the knee; the kamik has loose lining of seal fur with the hair in. side. The poorer women are only able to afford the cotton coat, the short trousers, and kamiks.
 The mems clothing consists of an ordinary European tweed cap, an ano- rak, which is sort of cotton jumper with hood to go over the head-this Is supplanted in cold weather by a timiak, a heavier garment-and as often as not European coat and trou- sers. Sometimes in place of European trousers the men will wear seal-fur trousers with the hair inside; for leg wear they have short kamiks, which come about half way up to the knee showing band of an inch or two of fur turned over from the inner stocking at the top.
 Crime Almost Unknown.
 The inhabitants of Greenland all profess Christianity, and they live quiet. uneyentful lives, crime being al- most unknown in the country. There is no police fofce of any kind and no apparent means Of enforcing the law, which is administered by the
 bestyrer" in each colony under the resident inspector of North or South Greenland and the governor of the colony. who Is usually resident in Co., penhagen.
 The country is liable to sudden, vio- lent storms, especially those which come up from the southeast and which are quite local in their incidence; the neighborhood of the copper mines seems to be particularly favored by the visits of these violent storms. At Godthaab last year there was a fall of snow of several inches on August 22, but that was exceptionally early in the year for such an occurrence At Julianshaab in October of last year the water in the harbor was covered with sheet of ice. On the whole the climate is very wet; during some sum- mers it rains on nearly every day. The | aurora borealis may be seen on prac- tically any cloudless night, but it is oaly white, not colored.

DIFFERENCE IN COST
 OF FEEDING CATTLE
Experiment Conducted by Penn- syIvania Station Favors Corn
 SiIage for Steers.

The Pennsylvania station has con- ducted several experiments to deter mine the difference in cost of feeding cattle by the common Pennsylvania ration of mixed hay and corn stover as roughage, and chopped ear corn, or corn and cobmeal and bran, as con- centrates, and ration composed of corn silage, mixed hay and cottonseed meal, supplemented by corn. In all experiments smaller gains were made by the lot of cattle fed the ordinary Pennsylvania ration.
 In one experiment, which Is typical, the average amount of air-dry matter required to make a pound of gain ranged from one to three pounds moro a head for cattle fed the common ra- tion than for those fed the ration adopted by the station. The cost of producing 100 pounds of gain for the entire period of the experiment, in the case of the lot fed the Pennsylvania ration, was s2S7 greater a hundred, compared with the cheapest of the other lots, and $1.s5 higher than the most expensive lot where silage formed part of the ration. The daily cost of feed head for the entire ex- perimental period ranged from 22 cents with the common ration to 16.9 cents for the adopted ration.
 The experiment emphasizes a decid- ed advantage in using corn silage for at least portion O. the roughage in fattening cattle, if they are to be fed economically. Results also show the advantage of feeding large amount of roughage during the early part of the feeding period, especially with the prevailing high prices of the various grain feeds.

Bird on Trial For It's Life.

It is reported that the English star ling, a harmless, grub-eating bird when Imported to this country in 1890, haS become predatory in it's habits and is rapidly driving out the native song sters, in addition to eating all fruits
 So general have become the con- plaints that the department of agri- culture at Washington has sent an ex- pert investigator to this place to be- gin study of the bird with a view to eXoneration or eXtermination.
 The starling has prospered, until to- day he nearly doubles in number any native bird in Connecticut or Rhode Island and is routing the native birds from their resting and feeding places

PAYS WELL TO LOOK
 AFTER YOUNG COLTS
Loss or BIemishing of One of Two Cuts Down Profits
 Don't Neglect Them.

It pays well to look after the colts. Those who have but few head of young stock are not in shape to lose one, and those having a good deal of money tied up in them should be very careful as to their wellbeing.
 The loss or blemishing of one or two will cut down his profit on the rest. So do not get so rushed with your work that you neglect the colts.
 See that they havo plenty of water and salt, and keep a lookout for in jdries they might receive.

or many people ever have
 M seen Greenland, or perhaps
 have any desire to see it. and
 yet it Is far from uninterest- ing in it's natural features and the life of it's inhabitants. Though it IS somewhat bigger than the con- t1nent of Australia of it's vast area only about 12,000 miles, on the west coast, are habitable. The population or the country consists of about II 900 Greenlanders, 200 government serv- ants, and the workmen at the cryolite and copper mines, to the number of 20O in summer and 100 in winter. In addition to these numbers there is the 400 population of the only east coast settlement-Angmasa
 The Greenlander is cross between the Eskimo and whalers and sealers Of Danish. Norwegian and Scottish na- tionalities; he objects to being called an Eskimo and much prefers the term Of Greenlander. Some of these Green flanders are quite European in appear ance, others are more like the Japa- nese, Mongolian or Red Indian; the great majority, however, resemble the lower types of the hairy Ainu of North Japan.
 The trade of Greenland Is practically Danish government monopoly and consists mainly of whale, seal and shark oil. the ivory of the walrus blue fox skins, ermine furs and the cider duck. Communication Is entirely by water as no travel of any kind is DOS sible on land. There are no domestic dogs of mongrel breed or an occasional COW or goat kept by government servant for his own personal use. The country, consisting as it does of bar ren rock-mostly granite, gneiss or schist-there Is no sedmentary rock renders all agriculture impossible; It Is only just here and there that one Is able to sec thin sprinkling of soil. In consequence of the lack of agricul- ture the natives eat no vegetables, sub. sist1ng mainly on the carcass of the seal, which provides them with an equivalent for mutton; the seal also gives them skin for clothing and for covering boats, and oil for light and fuel.
 How the People Dress.
 The women have no definite head dress; sometimes they will wear just a cloth for 2 hat. They wear collars made of dog fur. broad beadwork orna- ments over sort of blouse or coat often made of Scotch tartan in some cotton material. with dog-fur cuffs and beadwork ornaments. Under this in

(From the United States Department of
 Agriculture)
 Farmers who intelligently feed and care for their pregnant sows. so as not to overload them with fat but instead give them feeds for the development of bone and muscle, are on the right road toward the production of strong, healthy filters. Their preparedness program, however, does not end here.
 Two weeks before farrowing the SOW should be put into farrowing pen so that she will become acquainted and contented in her new quarters. The farrowing pen should be dry and free from drafts. Provide the pen with a guardrail made of 2-by-4-inch blanks set inches from the wall and 8 inches from the floor to prevent the SOW from crushing the pigs against the wall Use only a small quantity of bedding; leaves or straw are preferable. See that the SOW has plenty of fresh water within easy reach.
 It pays to keep the SOW quiet As sistance at the time of farrowing should be at hand if needed, but the SOW need not be helped If she is get ting along well. In cold weather put the newly born pigs in a wellwarmed basket, and after farrowing Is over the pigs should be placed with the SOW, care being taken that each one gets to teat. When the afterbirth is passed, 1t should be removed from the pen at once and burned or buried.
 After farrowing. the SOW should have nothing but water and a little
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-05-16

thin slop for the first day. The feed- ing for the first three or four days should be light, and the time consumed in getting the SOW on full feed should be from week to ten days, depending on the condition of the SOW and the size and thrift of the litter. It takes plenty of sow's milk to make healthy. growing pigs. If the pigs begin to SCOUT, feed the SOW less and give her plenty of strong limewarer.
 It Is very necessary that the little pigs have plenty of exercise and all the sunlight that can be given them. Do not allow the pigs to run out during cold rain. If possible, provide green feed or roots. These keep the SOW healthy and cheapen the ration. En- courage the pigs to eat grain after they are three or four weeks old Build creep for them so they can feed alone At this age feed for bone and muscle. Give them all the skim milk you can. If skim milk Is not available give them some meal and plenty of pasture. In about eight or ten weeks the pigs will have practically weaned themselves. After they have been successfully weaned the most perplex- ing job is over.
 By putting into practice the essen- tial points above mentioned the num- Der of pigs raised to wearing should be increased. Hogs never fail to re- spond to good care. Kind treatment always means contentment, with it's corresponding profits. and requires but very little more effort.

MAKING PROFIT ON
 ANIMALS THIS YEAR
Feed Bill Can Be Materially Re- duced by Raising Different
 Crops on the Farm.

It will be difficult matter to make profit on the animals this year un- less you raise plenty of feed. The profit will be largely in the feed pro. duced. The animals will consume the feed, thus save the cost of marketing and save the plant foods, or at least large per cent of them.
 There are many advantages in feed ing animals on the farm. but most of them require that large part of the iced be raised on the farm. If this is not done the Ased bill is likely to take most of the profit.

Something From Nothing.

You never will get something from nothing. Remember this when feeding hens. They require so much to sus- tain life, When the ration is only liberal enough to do this, poor biddy has nothing from which to manufac- ture eggs, therefore no eggs.
