Changes in milling processes are reepousibie for.appendieitis, aecorte, ing to yziei w10 10,S• been in the practice of . medicine for fifty years and who has observed. the epread of the diseaee. This physi- cian, Dr. H. O. Howard of Oham- paign, Ill. asserts that until the trade demand for exceedingly white flour changed the methods of grinding ,wheat there was no appendicitis. To prove this assertion the piecrsi- elan points to the feet that where egarSO breads are used the elle:ease is unknown, but that as soon as the fine breadstuffs are introduced ap- pendieitis comes along as_ a sequenee. By this reasoning' it is shown that the people of agricultural communi- ties who secured their flour from the small mills did not have the disease until the small mills were crowded out by the larger ones and fine white flour supplanted the coarse. Then the negroes of the south so long as they ate corn bread were free from the disease, but when the new procese Deur began to be used the disease came among them. The seine results attended the departure of the German folke from their coarse bread to the relined flour. DISEASE RARE BEFORE 1875. "I can remember that prior to n.bout 1875," said Dr. Howard, "that there was little or none of the ailment among the people. In 25 years of practice among the peeple !before that time I do not think I eaw more than 40 cases of appendi- citis. Now they are common. Large and ettended changes in the diet of people bus contributed to this. For example, about the date nicationed there began to be a. gen- cm t ehange from the old method of grimeng grain to the present me- thod of roller mills and excessively fine bolting cloths. This plan of Inilling began first in the large cities, and appendicitis began to increase there. Later the new process crowd- ed out the small mills in the coun- try, and the peorde could not get flour made by the old proeesses. They bought products of the large milling establishments, and then the farmers began to have appendicitis. "Still the negroes of the south did not have it, but in time they began to get away from their plain corn bread, and they, too, began to have oippendicitis. So it goes. They did 3iot have appendicitis in Germany until they began to eat fine flour and put in the new process of mill- ing after our fashion. Now they have appendicitis in Germany just as we do. DISARRANGES ORGANS. "Experienced millers will tell you that the fine flour is a less desirable flour than that, made by the old pro- cess, but the trade demands it chief- ly on account of its whiteness. On account of its indigestibility the dis- arrangement of the digestive organs of the people eating it has greatly increased. The prime cause of ap- Pentlicitiens found in this disarrange- ment. "Quite emall cbileiren have it. I know one boy, who has had thirteen well defined attacks of the disease and came out of all of them with - mut surgical operations. He chang- ed hie food to corn bread and mush, with coarse breads in general, vege- tables, little meat, and some fruit, an -d he has taken on flesh and has not had a symptom of the disease for three years. "The leek of phosphates in the food is visible in the people, and physicians have greatly increased the use of medicines containing; phos- phates-. It is a necessity. Children are brought to me suffering from conditions resulting from a lack of material in their systems to form their teeth. Ten days ef treatment, giving phosphates, will bring relief, and the teeth well begin to grow. They are suffering because the in- genuity of men and the foolish de- mands of trade have resulted in tak- ing from their food the material which nature put into it for their growth" The new process which is held ac- countable for disease tnkes from the grain the phosphates chiefly existing In the germ of the wheat and just under the bran, and leaves only the starch and gluten. — BaUGLAND'S SHOW PLACES. Under the new regulations for ad- mission, Wiedeor Castle will take the premier position aniente the remun- erative show places of England. Its 'visitors number annually about 100,- 000, so that the fees will swell the charitable revenues of Windsor by $15,000 or $20,000 a year. The 25 cent toll to the subterranean won- ders of Welbeck Abbey yields a ready income of $6,500, which the Duke of Portland 'distributes among • the Notts hospitals. The Duke of Devon - ;hire foregoes $17,500 a year by ' admitting the 70,000 visitors to Chatsworth gratis. Tintern AbbeY returns about $4,000 and Reglan Castle $2,500 a year in visitors' fees. As an investment, Shake- speare's Cottage is to be preferred to -$15,000 (its purchtme money) in Consols, for the visitors number 30,- (M0 and the charge is 25 cents.

Many of our reeders, are also xtble to 'vetzela for cures winch have come under their own observation. This week "Logberg" has received a letter from one of its readers, Mr, 13. Wal- tereon, a prosperous farmer livieg st Bru, in will -eh -he gives his own experience in the hope that it may heaelit some ether sufferer. Mr. Wal- terson says: "Some years ago I was suffering so greatly from thee- raatisin in my limbs that I was for a long thee unable to do any work. I tried in many ways to obtain a cure, both by patent medicines and medicine prescribed by doctors, but without obtaining any benefit. 1 saw Dr. Williatras' Pink Pilis Over- tieed in the Logberg as being a eare for this trouble, and determined ea - give it a. trial. I bought a elezee boxes and before hall of them tare used I felt a great changefor the better. This improvement continued •from day to day, and before I had used all the pills I was completely cured. Since that time I have nev- er had an attack of this trouble. Af- ter this I used the pills in several other cases and no other medicine has been so beneficial to me. I feel it my duty to publicly give testi- mony to the merits of this wonder- ful medicine so others similarly aillieted may be led to try it."

HESSIAN FLY IN MANITOBA. Never Need Become a Serious Menace. Hessian fly has again been doing much damage in some parts of Manitoba, notably around Wawa - nese and Roundthwaite in Brandon County, also at Trcesbank and Stockton, in Macdonald County. While in Ontario the Iles,siian fly is double brooded, and late sowing is the chief remedy, and one which, having been widely adopted last year, is now bearing good fruit in that Province ; in Manitoba the pest is single -brooded, 'owing to there being no fall wheat grown there. Dr. James Fletcher, the Dominion Entomologist and Botanist, con- tends that as the Hessian fly is un- doubtedly restrictea in Manitoba to the summer straw-attackirg brood, the remedy is simple, and, if per- sisted •in, this rest never need be- come a serious menace to western wheat, growers. The insects passing the wieter for the most part in the stubble and not appearing until the following spring, • when there are growing wheatplants for the fe- • melte to lay thar eggs upon, if the stubble be burnt •over or ploughed down in autumn and the straw fed to stock er burned at any. time be- fore the flies emerge in the spring this dire enemy of the wheat grower should be easily controlled. Many of the "flax -seeds" of the 'summer brood are carried with the straw, and at threshing are dislodged and thrown down beneath the machine, ameng •the rubbish, or are left in the straw. All screenings or dust ehould„ therefore, be carefully de- stroyed, and all straw should be either used during the winter or burned before spring. Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa.

Throughout the Province of Quo - bee, greater interest, is being taken yearly in the growth ef red clover and alsike, with the 'reeult that the acreage under these crops is rapifily int:Teasing. Tim increased demand for seed and the good prices offered have encouraged tee growing of those eeeds ou farms winch are pole lated with noxious egeds, with the reSult that much low grade seed is offered for sale. • Another cause for this condition bus boon the increas- ing demand for large quantities of the best recleaned. seeds from Euro- pean couritries wbere athorough' system of seed control has become established, and only the better grades of seed can fled a market. The screenings from exported seeds are forced on Canadian markets, In nearly all the European eoun- tries to which Canadian grown seed is exported the guarantee system has teen adopted, mid all seed is catalogued and sold under a definite guarantee as to purity end vitality, ln the United States. much atten- tion has been givexi to the seed trade. In the State of Maine the guareatee system is enforced. le Genie ny enoee thirty-nine seed eon- trol stations have been tstablishod. A very complete seed laboeatory is maintained in connection with the Unitea States Department of Agri- culture at Washington, and branch seed testing stations have teen tabIisi ed in connection with most of their State experiment stations. INhatever be the outcome in Can- • ada, it is essential .to a proper un- Cerstanding of the question and to inteingent action that we have ac- curate knowleege of the quality of seeds PLACED ON OD11, MARKETS. Ia oream to obtain ties 'informa- tion, the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa secured the equipment for a moderu seed laboratory and sent to individual farmers throughout the Dominion a request to forward samples of grass and clover seeds that were onered for sale in their localities in the spring of 1,902. The response was very gratifying, and &ming the early spring of the pre- sent year there were received over five hundred samples of these seeds. With tech sample information was sent whh regard to the place at which it was sold, the price per pound or per bushel at which it was offered for sale, and the origin of the seed. IThe samples reached the Seed La- rooratory at Ottawa under a variety f names which were, apparently, intended. to 'designate the grade or quality of the seed—but which really served to confuse purchasers. Such names as Lion, Otter, Linnet, Perch, Carp, Trout, Pine Tree, can scarce- ly be considered as expressive of quality when applied to seed of timothy. alsike, or red clover. Terms such as grade No. 1, grade No: 2, etc., if properly used by a reith.ble firm, would convey much more real information to an intending buyer, in the Seed Laboratory the seed is subjected to two examinations, one for purity and one ler vitality. in making these examinations the rules adopted by the Association of Agriculletral Colleges and Experi- ment fetaticns for seed analysis are followed in detail. When a purity examinetion is to be made the sample is first well mixed, the re- quired quantity drawn and spread upon a sheet of paper where it is examined under a inagnifying glass, and all foreign matter removed. The inert matter semi as sand, broken stems, chaff, etc., and all seeds not of the, kind under examination are remareed and separately weighed. The percentage by weight of each kind of impurity is thus determined. The weed seeds are then identined and the number oe, each. species found in the weighed sample is re- corded. The number of weed seeds per pound of seed is then celculated. In making a germinating test the seed is drawn from pure seed that has Leen thoroughly Mixed for the purpose. For moll teet two hundred sees are uscd, These are placed be- tween the folds of blotting paper and placed in a Standard SSeed Ger- minator—an apparo tus SreCir Ily de- signed for this work, and such that the supply of heat, air, ard mois- ture is each limier the control of the operator. After twenty-four hours the number of S! eds in each sample that have germinated is determined and recorded. This Is reported each day whilc the test lasts, which time is, for Mover ten days, and for timothy fourteen days, Each test is conducted in duplicate Angler identi- cal conditions, and when the delin- eates vary more than six per cent. they are discarded and A FRESH TEST MADE. Front the Province of Quebec there were rezeived 108 samples of seed, consisting of red clover 68, alsike 41, and timothy Fifa These were purchased at thirty-three dinerent points, and their analysis should, therefore, fairly reprerent the qual- ity of these eceds retailed througln- owe the Province. From the results of the investiga- tion it would Le imposeibie to say that there had Leen any wilful adulteration of seed lest spring, al- though the amount of impurities in se•i oral samples excite suspicion: Ono sample of timothy purchased at Terrebonne contained sixteen per cent, of seed by weight. The high- est percentage of impurity in arty one sample, was found in atsike, sold ate $8.10 per bushel in. Ohertierville, 'which conteined twenty-three pounds of foreign seed and seven and one- half pounds of sticks, chaff, Sand, eta, per met.

HOW TO GET RID OP THE PEA WEEVIL OR "PEA BUG." Pea Growers 217-st Make 'United Effort to Destroy the. Pest. *ootine members of the Government, Grain Standard Board at Toronto, on Saturday week,' 'after discussion agreed that tenor' some drastic mea- sures be. taken to exterminate the "Pen. Bug" the trade of Canada in peas will be entirely lost. 'This "bug" is the Pea Weevil, and Dr. James Fletcher; the Dominion Entomologist, for some years has endeavored to impress upon all pea growers in the districts where this ingeet prevails the necessity of mak- ing, a united effort to destroy' this pest, for without unity mere indivi- dual effort will be in vain, because, if a farmer treats his Wall Seed peas with carbon bisulphide, upfortunate- ly that does not prevent the weevils fronibis neighbors' fields injuring his crop. Most farmers in the districts whore the pea weevil occurs are pretty well acquainted with the life habits of the insect, and ale() tmow that , the fumigation treatment is effective. By following the instructions %dike are given here there will be really very little danger; but, of course, the work must be done with care. Most of our large seed growers and seed dealers have "bugging houses" in which they profese to treat, and some do regularly treat, their seed, hut n change for the better might be made by doing this work earlier and much more universally. Not only is the carbon. bisulphide more easily veporized in hot weather, but its effect on the insects is much more fatal than in cold weather, or later in the seaeon, whexi the weevils 'are in the torpid state in which ' THEY PASS TUE WINTER. The sooner the fumigation, is done after the peas are ripe, naturally, the less the seeds will have been eaten away by the grubs and in- jured. • -Moreover, by postponing the fumigation uutil late in the autumn, in some seasons a large proportion of the weevils will have left the peas and escaped before the opera- tion. Dr. Fletcher asserts that any far- mer can treat les own seed easily and with perfect safety in the fol- lowing way: Place the quantity of peas to be treated in an ordinary 45 -gallon coal oil barrel, which will hold about five bushels of peas. The quantity of carbon bisulphiele that has been found necessary to destroy the weevil is one ounce to every hundred pounds of seed— tee treat - meet to last for 48 hours. There- fore, for the above quantity, as peas weigh from 60 to (35 pounds to the bushel, three ounces would be re- quired if tho barrel were filled. The chemical may be poured right on to the peas, and the barrel must then be covered quickly a.ncl closely first with a thick cloth or canvas whieh has been damped in water, and then also with hoards. The carbon sul- phide will not injure the seed in any way, either as to vitality ois as to its wholesomeness as food. Cnrbon bisulphide is a colorless liquidewhich readily turns into vapor When ex- posed to the air, except in very cold weather. This -vapor is quite invis- ible but has a very unpleasant strong oder. It le heavier than air and therefore sinks quickly to the bottom of and permeates the con- tents of any closed receptacle in which it is used to free grain of in- festing insects, It is, however, ex- tremely inflammable,both in the liquid and' vapor form; consequently great care must be taken not to bring any flame, not even a lighted pipe or cigar, near the liquid or barrel DURING Tim TREATMENT. The peas or other grain must be left in tbe tightly closed barrel for 48 hours to destroy the weevils; it will, therefore, be best to place the barrel in an, outside shed at some dis- tance from the living house, The Pate sowing of peas is certain- ly useful in preventing attack by pea 'weevil, bat the method is not much in favor with the fanners, ix:cense late sown peas in inost Sea- sons eye liable to be so badly at- tacked by mildew as to reduce very much the valte of the crop. IV. Fletcher considers an easy remedy and aa excellent one when, oniy a small quantity of seed is re- quired; is to hold over until the sec- ond year after barvesting,iThis nuist be done in close bags so as to prevent the escape of the beetles, which naturally emerge before the ond of the secend season, and, as they Cannon -perforate begs, even whea these are 1nade only of paper, they must die; because, Unlike the bean weevil, they caimot,. propagate in dry grain. The vitality of peas is not injured to any appreciable degree by this delay of ono year be- fore sowing. At the time of sow- ing the seed ehould be examined, and, if necessary, hand Picked; every Vain Which has been perforated should be discarded, as it has been proved thAt ft is impossible to grey* strong -plants fermi weettilled peas.
