Cocaine Best of
Local Anesfhetics

The discovery of local anesthetics
revolutionized surgery, says DR.. Emil
Mayer in the Hygeia Magazine. In
1884 DR.. Karl Roller of Vienna an
nounced that he had dropped solution
Of cocaine in patients eye, and then
operated on the eye without any pain
to the patient or loss Of consciousness.
Cocaine has been found to be useful
for many sorts of operations, and par
ticularly valuable in the saving of
time in the hospital and in the alb
sence of unpleasant after-effects that
sometimes accompany general anes-
thesia.
In 1886 there was perfected a
preparation from the dried extract Of
certain glands that so contracts the
blood vessels as to render the parts
bloodless. Now an operation may be
both bloodless and painless and per-
formed without loss of consciousness,
or any great amount Of time.

Cutting to Obtain Big

plant shades them. With the maxi
mum number Of leaves goes the high.
est feeding value because alfalfa
leaves contain about twice as much
protein as do the stems. Because this
season Is backward, however, there is
a danger in cutting too early.
The safe way to get the largest
yield of alfalfa with the greatest feed
ing value per pound is to cut in early
bloom. Eight years of experimenting
at Ohio university have shown that al
falfa cut just before bloom will aver
age 40 per cent leaves, while that cut
when it has reached the seed stage
will average 38 per cent leaves. The
remaining 60 per cent at seed stage IL
stems low in protein.

Economical Use of High
Priced Farm MACHINERY

To use machinery economically Il
must be used many days during the
year. If machinery is used to an ad
vantage for a large number of days
the less cost will be per acre of cror
that it is used upon, the interest cost
per acre will be less, the depreciation
cost will be less, and the depreciation
charge per acre due to standing ovei
the winter will be less.
With the higher priced form of ma
chinery, such as the picker-husker
tractors and the thresher, these items
must be given very good attention. II
is sometimes more profitable to rent
or hire machinery that is to be uset
only few days each year. 1t is false
economy to purchase expensive ma
chinery if the size of the farm ant
the extent of the work to be done does
not warrant the investment.

West. Leading fall kinds are Olden-

Magnetism,

Faraday demonstrated in 1915 that
all substances, even the gases, are
either attracted or repealed by suf-
ficiently powerful magnetic pole. Prac-
tically, however, the metals responsive
to magnetism are the three which,
with their alloys, comprise the ferro-
magnetic group. These are iron,
nickel and cobalt. Certain other COM
binations Of metals will respond to
the magnet. Thus there was discov-
cred in 1902 an alloy-Heusler's al
loy-which is comprised Of copper,
aluminium and manganese, and which
is said to be not greatly inferior to
iron in its capacity for being mag
netized.
