sousA CAN'T HEAR MUSIC
Noted Bandmaster Afflicted With
Temporary Deafness.

John Philip Sousa, the bandmas.
ter who recently appeared here, has
not been able to hear his own music.
While most of his auditors could
hear and enjoy every note or com.

brass.throated choir, the conductor
himself heard most OF the notes IN.
distinctly and the higher and finer,
notes OF the wood wind instruments
and The cofnet practically not at all.
The bandmaster, however, has
placed himt,hf under the case of a
physician and expects in a r,1r' time
TO- be restored to full acuteness OF
hearing.
The doctor. describing tho case,
says that HIS patient is but one OF
thousands of persons so afflicted.
"As a person grows older" said the
physician. "he contracts a ~so.called
condition OF catarrhal deafness, a

AesIth ANect.d BY Emotions.

Any emotion that gives pleasure
nets healthily on the heart and other
organs, the circulation becomes more
brisk, and appetite and health i'm.
prove. Love, hope aud happiness all
produce these emotions and, contrary
to the accepted notion. the ardent
lover ought to enjoy his meals thor
oughly.
Despair, grief and fear have quite
another effect. They make the action
OF the heart slower. and enfeehle the
nervous and muscular system, often
upscttlng the digestion as well.
Anger causes the heart TO act vlo-
lently, working upon both physical and
mental powers. The muscles for the
time being are taut and tense, and
tie secretion of bile is increased. A
reaction follows rapidly, when the
muscles become labby and Il feeling
Of weakness pervades the body.

CAUSE OF TEAT AFFECTIONS
Hands of Mixer Should Be Kept
Clean and Finger Nails Trimmed
Quite Cieeeiy.

Milking with uncleansed wet hands
is fertile cause Of teat affections.
The teats and udder should be
eleansed each time before milking
and the mixers hands also should be
kept clean. The finger nails Of the
mixer should be kept dose-trimmed
and when milking care be taken not to
squeeze the tips Of the teats too hard.
Such bruising is the cause Of a condi-
ton which we have termed "corns' OF
the teats. The skin becomes hardened,
horny or oalloused and milking then
becomes difficult, or the milk sprays
during extraction Dirty and con
taminated stall floors and allowing
cows to lie upon dirty, wet ground, or
wade In stagnant water or drag their
udders through wet and filth on the
way to the stable are other causes;
and a common cause Of sores ON the
tip of the hind teats is bruises from
stepping upon them when crossing
sill into the stable or by trampling In
narrow stalls.

Realizing that he must put all

Swift Blow to Jaw FeIIs Gallant
Frenchman-90,0O 900 Sec
Battle of Century.

Jersey City-With a broken right
hand and a badly sprained wrist,
Georges Carpenter, idol of France, fell
CALAMITY before the crashing attack Of
Jack Dempsey.
The battle Of century ended in
the fourth round with the unmarried
Dempsey a decisive victor. But thou
sands who saw the fight, are wonder
ing what might have happened had the
Frenchnan's hand stayed whole.
The second round, when injury
Forced him to weak defensive, saw
the Frenchman stagger Dampsey so
effectively that the 10000 spectators
had visions of new world champion.
But the iron-jawed American quickly
recovered from the blow and resumed
his merciless punishment.
After this round, manned and his
confidence shaken by the failure of his
famous attack, Carpenter, shifting
from the aggressive role he had played
throughout, turned to his skill as a
boxer to have himself from a rain of
crushing blows.
But everywhere he turned, swings,
jabs and uppercuts smote the little
challenger on head and body. A club
bing right landing flush on the back
OF Georges neck, daGed him. More
punishment followed and as the third
round ended spectators could see that
victory for the American was not far
away.
The fourth round opened and Demp-
sey rushed his opponent to the ropes,
waited for an opening and let drive
right to the jaw. Carpenter fell. No
one expected to see him rise after that
terrific blow. But at the count Of nine
the Frenchman's invincible spirit
brought him to his feet. Helpless, he
was an easy mark for the smash that
ended the battle.

Creameries Association, Inc, says
the first work that will be done after
the membership campaign has been
completed, will be the federation OF
cooperative creameries into district
units. The local work of the state
association is to be carried on largely
through and by district units.
Mr.. Mcclure further explains that
the new organization is not so much
a sales agency as it is a service
agency. "Its chief purpose" he says,
"is to get the cooperative creameries
to cooperate with one another-to
help one another do things in stand
ardizing their products and in mar
keting them to better advantage than
they can do alone. The new state
association does not aim to take away
the work of the local cooperative
creameries, but rather to extend it.
1t should be known as a service
agency"
Organization work will be pushed
through the farm bureau, according
to Mr.. Mcclure, who has been grant
ed five months leave of absence
from his. duties with the agricultural
extension division of the universit!
to direct the campaign.

will likely increase as the fruit ma
lures, say plant pathologists.
The fungus causing this disease
survived the mild winter in abundance
and caused very heavy flower and
leaf infection. The appearance of
small brown patches on the fruit is
an unmistakable sign of disorder.
These spots enlarge very rapidly, es-
pecially during warm weather, until
finally the plum is entirely rotted.
Frequently, large percentage of the
infection can be traced, says A. G.
Ruggles, state entomologist, to injury
caused by curculio.
Control methods at this time de-
pend upon control of the curculio and
in keeping the fruit well covered with
the spray. It is recommended to use
commercial lime-sulphur; one gallon
to 40 gallons Of water for the disease
control, and the same mixture with
the addition of one and one-third
pounds of arsenate of lead for central
OF the curculio. The spray should be
applied as soon after the first of
July as possible, with an additional
spraying about three weeks later.

the most advanced races of the Old
World were on the border line between
savagery and baEbarism. 1t far ante
dates any but the simplest mechanical
arts. Yet, while our knowledge Of the
laws Of nature as they apply to ma
chimes has reached great magnitude
and complexity, it has been compare
lively few years since the principles
of breeding have been more than col

The same superstitions On which the
shepherds of Asia based their practices
at least 80 centuries ago are still wide
pie known to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
the best for breeding stock-is still
much neglected.
The principles Of successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned by
practical experience in the United
States and older countries, and by care
full scientific study along definite lines,
are outlined in Bulletin 9O5, recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment$of Agriculture. -
This bulletin goes into the first prin-
ciples of. reproduction and follows with
the means by which certain characte
isties Of one or the other parent are
transmitted to the offspring, the meth

out the. undesirable, the characteris-
tics which can with certainty be ex-
pected to continue from one generation
to another, those which are uncertain
and those which cannot be inherited.
Aside from mere increase In num-
bers, the purposes which the breeder is
likely to have in mind fall under two
more or less distinct heads, namely,
production Of uniform product, and
Improvement. A uniform product de.
ponds on such control over the heredity
of the stock that matings can be made
with the assurance that the offspring
will be of certain definite type for
which there is demand. Improvement
is, of course, closely related to control
over heredity, but the methods which
give the greatest control are not neces-
sarfly those which lead to the most
rapid Improvement.
In broad sense the whole subject
of practical breeding comes under the
head Of selection The most obvious
basis for such selection is the perform
ahce of the animals themselves. Un-
fortunately, the merits of.1nost kinds
OF live stock cannotbe measured direct
ly. The study of conformation as an
index of useful qualities has according

animal of good breeding is better one

is q valuable aid to selection, apart
from following general policy of'mat-
