Weeds and Hay Fever.

Interesting observations made by
DR.. William Sheppegrell. president of
the American Hay Fever Prevention
association. are reported in a. paper
published by him. AS result of a
weed-cutting campaign carried out in
New Orleans in the spring of 1916 til,
number of hay fever cases was re
duced to less than 30 per cent of the
usual prevalence. The 'cold storage"
treatment of the disease in which
practically all ventilation is excluded
in order to insure the absence of at
mospheric pollen. is said to afford only
transient relief, while the low tenn
perature is likely to cause bronchitis
The effects of an abundant rain on hay
fever patients is beneficial because the
rain not only washes the pollen out of
the air. but also permanently removes
its toxic qualities, so that it lis harm
less when again blown into the air
after the rain is over This has been
proved by laboratory experiments, In
which pollen, after submersion in wa
ter. was inhaled by hay fever subjects
without any apparent effect.

Poor Packing Causes Waste.

Few persons considering the cost Of
living realize that more than $7OO, OOO.-
600 Is added to the cost of their food,
clothing and other necessities each
year because Of the waste caused BY
damage, unscientific loading and the
tremendous cost Of packing these
commodities. The railroads and the
shippers realize it. as shown by their
conducting a campaign to reduce to
the minimum the waste through dam
age, and to utilize to the utmost the
capacity Of freight cars, which are
hauled half empty.
These are some of the items which
enter into this waste estimate-dam-
age and theft. $1OOOOO,OOO; wasted
lumber used only once In packing
cases, $40, 0O0,0OO; empty car space,
$2O0,OOO,OOO; and the staggering cost
to the railroads of hauling half empty
cars more than 6,OOO,OOO,OOO miles,
1857 100000. 1t is estimated that from
10 to 25 per cent Of the cost Of food
stuffs goes to pay for the crates
which are thrown away.

SHEEP BUSINESS PROFITABLE
Study Being Made of Specialized
Raising With Complete Reliance
on Forage Crops.

Results of farm sheep experiment
reported by the United States depart
ment of agriculture show clearly the
possibility of a profitable sheep-raising
business upon eastern lands. At the
government farm, Beltsvlle Md. a
study is being made of specialized in
tensiVe sheep raising with complete
reliance upon forage crops for sum-
mer pasturage
In 1916 a 30-acre area did not pro
duce forage enough to feed satisfac-
torily Al Southdown ewes and 33
lambs. This field is now capable of
furnishing sufficient summer feed for
ZOO ewes with their lambs. The i'm
provement is due in part to the appli-
cation of manures, lime, and phos-
plates, but chiefly to the fact that legu-
mnous crops We're largely used and
all crops were fed upon the ground.
Under the system followed forage
crops are seeded in rotation and the
sheep are allowed such frequent
changes of pasture as are necessary
to prevent troubles from parasites.

HOW HOG NANCE IS SPREAD
Disease Is Contracted More Rapidly

ity-Cure by Dipping.

Hog mango is spread mainly by di-
rect bodily contact, according to in
designations recently conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The disease is contracted most
rapidly among hogs of low vitality,
especially those kept in small incos-
ufes. 1t spreads more slowly among
vigorous animals kept in pastures or
in clean, well-lighted roomy pens or
buildings. Failure by swine owners
to control hog mango results in heavy
losses from shrinkage as well as from
high death rate. The department
states that the disease can be eradi-
Gated by four clippings in a lime-sul-
