CATTLE LOSSES
MEET AVERAGE
Cold Weather Is Holding
Back the Planting of
Corn

Although cattle were supposed to
have wintered especially we'll during
the past year. the reports received by
the State Department of Agriculture
indicate that there was a slight in
crease in the losses of cattle, sheep
and hogs. During the winter and
spring the losses of horses showed
an average of twenty horses in a
thousand. the same as a year ago.
but for cattle the losses were twenty
two as compared with twenty to a
thousand a year ago. Twenty six
sheep in a thousand were lost this
year as compared with twenty year
ago and the losses of hogs took a
big jump from twenty five in a thou
sand to thirty-two in thousand this
year.
Corn planting has been unusually
late in many sections of the State on
account of the cold weather that
marked the beginning of May, say
reports to the department which say
the wheat crop Will probably be the
smallest in the State during the past
ten years. Not one county shows
wheat within FIVE per cent. of the
average condition and in many it is
running behind about twenty-five per
cent.
Reports from sheep-raising centers
report splendid success in lambs
raised and a large increase in sheep in
the State is expected to be shown.
Much wheat ground in Clinton
county has been turned and planted
to oats.
Franklin county farmers report the
plowed ground wheat as looking fine,
but the corn stalk wheat is not in
good condition.
large increase in the number of
acres of corn is indicated by reports
received by the Department of Agri-
culture.
Farmers in many counties report
that the tent caterpillar pest will be
present in large numbers this year.
Tioga county farmers have planted
a number of acres to tobacco and will
raise beans extensively.

Kidneys Cause Hysteria

Some folks overwork; some over

T|NKER|NG WITH OLD SORES.

All external cancers and many inter-
nal ones are nothing but old sores in
the beginning.
Old cold sores on the lip which do
not heal within a reasonable time;
old warts or pimples on the face
which almost heal up, when become
irritated, bleed a little, scab over and
almost heal up again, only to become
irritated once more, and so on.
There is great deal of foolish pref
udice against what the crook with an
alleged cancer cure likes to call "the
knife" This prejudice may have been
justified in the ancient days when an
operation was painful and very dan
gerous; then the doctors had no anes-
thetics and knew nothing about the
ways of preventing blood-poisoning,
and so an operation was very SER

At present, with either, chloroform,

we'll as the local anesthetics which
render minor operations absolutely

poisoning following an operation than

Rarely it may be impossible, for
some reason, to give a patient an anes-

be the only choice, but it is a far
more dangerous remedy, and far less
certain to cure cancer than operation.

} nonIt PouItice . BOIL

OOnC FOUtClCS BOIL
Will you tell me what causes boi1s?
Are they contagious? Not long ago I
had one on my arm, now I have sew
eral. What is a good treatment for
boi1s?
Answer-A boil, or 'sfuruncle'' as the
surgeons say, is nothing but an abscess
of the skin. The essential cause is the
pus germ Not in the sense that measles
or who0ping cough is. The pus germ is
only capable OF penetrating the skin in
rare instances. They generally gain adj
mittance through a hair fol1icle or tslzin'A
gland. They are conveyed from the skin
ON one part Of the body to another by
contact, as scratching. The prophylac-
tic treatment consists of cleanliness A
person having one or more boils should
take warm bath at least four times O
week, using soap free from alkalis and
fancy, perfumery. When boil first oc-
ours try to abort it by touching with pure
carboHc acid; and paint around it with
tincture of iodine. If it goes on and pus
forms, go at once to a good doctor, one
who gets red in the face if you suggest
applying poultice or greasy salve. A
hot compress will do all the good any
poultice can do and does it without in
curing any danger. The right doctor
will take a sharp knife and open thor
oughly and finish by applying a sterile
dressing.

weakness appearing. This manlfests
itself by strange sensation OF numb
ness and GOODNESS all over the body.
Along. with it, perhaps, the lips and
fnger-nails or sometimes the whole
surface of the skin may become blue
or livid. This latter change is in part
due to circulatory weakness, but
largely to a serious change in the
blood the oxygen Of the hemoglobin
of the red corpuscles being crowded
out by the poison.
Nausea, collapse, vomiting, cold blue
skin, faintness, cIammy perspiratlon
and other alarming, sometimes fatal
symptoms may follow even few
doses of acetanilide in one whose
heart or blood is not perfect.
Some people grow so fond of the
effect of the migraine, neuralgia or
pain tablet containing this drug that
they take it daily or several times
day, whenever they feel tired or weary
or depressed in any way. Such habit
is ruinous to the health, and has re-
peated1y led to the insane hospital.
The anemia Qack of b1ood) and ner-
vous weakness produced by frequent
resort to alleged "safe" medicines
containing acetanilide or It's congeners
are exceedingly difficult to overcome,
even when the habit is stopped.
Before you indulge in the "cold
cure' that kills cold in one day, or
the headache or grippe or migraine or
neuralgia tablet or powder that comes
so highly recommended by those who
profit on the sale, better make sure
about the acetaniHde.

is to have such sores surgically treat
ed, by your physician or a surgeon he
will recommend. Take wart, for in
stance. Often enough it resists each
and every alleged remedy and only
becomes more irritated the more you
tinker with it. But, with the aid of
local anesthetic, it can be removed in
a few minutes, and that is the end OF
the trouble.
People like to imagine that this or
that application possesses soma mys-
terious "healing' virtue. No remedy,
we care not what it's nature, makes a
sore heal. The physician prescribes
certain remedies to accomplish def
mite things which he finds necessary
to aid Nature in the healing process.
Yet the fact remains that Nature al
ways does the healing, and at a rate
which cannot be fastened by human
agencies. Healing, however, may be
retarded Or prevented by ill-advised
applications to a wound or sore, and
this is the reason why it is always
more economical to let your doctor de-
eide what is best to put on wound or
sore, for naturally he understands
such things much better than a mere

cine, or an old woman, or the patient

Acetanilide does knock out pain, but
at some cost to physical well being.
It benu1nbs the vital brain centers, de-
presses the heart, destroys red cor

kills pain. That is also the reason
