Of General Won Falkenhayn, former

had sadly underestimated the required

Council Of Defense at Albany, under

were carried on by group of lung spe-

Health Commissioner Hermann NJ,
Biggs was In charge Of the examina-

The Sixty-ninth made an admirable
showing in the tests, to Judge fromsthe
findings announced on the 600 plates
interpreted to date. OF these 600 there
were twenty-five men, or a fraction

them for military service. In addition
there were eighteen who showed pull

These experiments. according to the
report, are believed to have demon
strated the entire practicabilfty Of the

Of the disease among soldiers at min

Seven and one-haf hours were re-
quired for the making Of the 1000 ex-
posures, or twenty-six seconds per
man; developing the plates by one man
took forty hours. or two minutes and
twenty-four seconds per plate; inter-
preting the 600 plates was done TN
eight hours. or at the rate Of forty
eight seconds per plate. Thus the total
time for making. developing and read

thirty eight seconds. The report states
that this time can be materially cut by

TREATING WOUNDS OF STOCK
Disnfectant Of Some Kind Should Be
Handy in Every Barn-Potassium
Permanganate Is Good.

There should be in every barn
quantity Of disinfcctunt that may be
readily mixed With water and used in
the cases of wounds sustained by any
of the stock. Potassium prrmanganntc
is excellent, and can be purchased at
any drug store in powder form and
used in water in amounts such as will
color the water Il light rcd. 1t has the
advantage over many antiScpticS Of
not irritating Il wound. But any of
the commercial antiScpticS will keep Il
wound free from infection If used car
~, and the formation OF large running
sores will thus be prevented.
A scratch or wound small as it may
be ut first may quickly become infect
cd and then it will not heal until the
infection has been freed from the
germs that arc causing the trouble. But
If treatment is begun at once the trOu-
bic can usually be prevented by bath
sing two or three times day with an
aniiscptic solution which will keep the
wound clean so that it will rapidly
heal.
The best home treatment of old
sores is to buthc them two or three
times q day with hydrogen peroxide
and syringe them out with warm wa
ter followed by small quantity of the
same antiscptic.

TIME FOR CUTTING TIMOTHY
Most Palatable and Nutritious II Har.
vested Just Before Ripe, Says
Missouri Station.

Timothy hay to make the most pal
atablc and most nutritious feed should
be cut before ripe. Investigations
made at the Missouri experiment sta
tion showed that timothy cut during
the period from blossoming time to
the shedding of the bloom was pre-
Scrrcd by cattle to ripper hay and that
they received more nutrition from 1t.
1T is usually the custom to harvest the
Timothy crop when it is nearly or
qu ripe, but the above mentioned in
NcSiiSation would go TO prove that
earlier harvesting would be moro adj

IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOILS

Vegetable growers should be Just as
