take up pneumonia where ]
left it last week, and mention
some of the methods of wrong
eandling of it.
In thb first place it is injurious
to apply any turpentine and an
oily Substance, like lard.
TurpeniiDe seems to give a
temporary relief, but in the end
is very injurious. Even a small
amount rubbed on the skin will
soon show up in the urine. That
means it is quickly absorbed,
then FASTENED to the kidneys to
be gotten rid of. 1t also Injuries
the kidneos as it passhs through
In any quantity 1t is very ruin
aus to them. 1t is one OF the
great causes of Bright's Disease
in later years.
The lard is less harmful, but
1t closes up the pores of the skin
without dong any good. | never
use an oil or a grease in pneu-
monia, and so, far, l have never
lost case,
Anothea mistake is having the
patient in room too hot or too
cold. 1t is more often too hot
than too cold. The temperature
should be at about 65 to 6S de-
grees of pure air, and as even as
possible. Hot air and cold air
haue been tried but both are un
satisfactory.
Anothhr and greatest error OF
all is to neglect the heart. The
heart failure IS in great danger
as the crisis of lobar monia
passhs. Another danger is in
giving the patient too much to
eat before the crises is well pass
ed.

SAVE SEED CORN

Doubtless all the farmers of Dick
ey County have planned to pick and
cure some seed corn for next sea.
sons use. Most every farmer has
come to realize that it is necessary
to get home grown seed corn or get
1t to the north of us in case a good
corn crop is to be raised. To pick
the best ears from the most desir-
able stalks is very good thing to
do and to pick it early enough SO
that it can be hung up and given
sufficient time to dry before the hard
freezes set in is also very essential.
It is going to be difficult for the
farmers of the county to exercise
much choice in the quality of the
ears selected and as to other essen
tials this year. In most cases it will
be necessary to pick what is mature
enough for seed, without much re.
gard to quality. There probably will
be greater scarcity of seed corn in
the northern latitude than there has
been for years. There is little hope
of the farmers over most of the cen
trail and northern parts of North
Dakota to be able to gather much
corn.
Everyone should bear in mind that
corn that is fully mature will make
seed corn If proper care is given to
drying and curing. 1t need not be
past the milk stage to make seed.
This being the case there is no rea-
son why every farmer in this county
should not fortify himself with some
seed. The flints have matured in
good shape in most instances and
there should be plenty of this obtain
able and it should be picked and
cured without fail. We must not,
however. loose our dent and we need
not if our fields are past the milk
stage and the corn carefully dried. i,
