rarSICZAINT SAYS IT XS DUE
'TO WHITE FLOUR.
Who Says the Modern Systera of
111illing Is Entirely to
Blame.
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.

From. the Lagberg, Winuipeg, Infeee
The readers of Logberg have long
been familiar witle the 'Virtues of
• Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through the
Well authenticated cures published
in these (*Junius each week. 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.

Many alterest, sacred traditions of

The doctor approves of this •and
baby is better for it, but despite
regular hours for feeding, nearly all
the disorders at infants are caused
by the derangements of the stomach
and bowels. Mother's greatest
problem is a treatment for these ills
that will be gentle but effective, and

GRASS AID ULOVE1 SEEDS
RETAILED IN' TIIE PROVINCE
OF quz1340.,
es.ttits of Examination by De-
partment of Agrieulture at
Ottawa.
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

half pounds of sticks, chaff, Sand,

FUMICIATIO3 TREATMENT.
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

Nothing Like It Has Ever Been
Heard of — In Newfoundland

tion.
Cate:CS Cove, New Bay, Newfound-

of the island has been thoronghly
aroused by the most miraculous cure
of a man named Joseph 'Boon.
For eight years this man had been
ailing and for seven Years of this
time he was tillable to work. IIe had
Back Ache and Kidney Complaint,
in fact he was all pains and . aches.
Ile had be -en treated from thrie to
time by several doctors and although
he always carefully attended to their
several prescriptions exactly as . or-
dered by them, he got no relief, but
was slowly growing worse.
Finally he went to the hospital
where he remainedfor seven months,
only to be sent home as an incura-
ble case.
He has tried every remedy he could
hear of, electric belts, liniments, oils
and other medicines but all of no
avail. No one ever thought he
could ever be well (*ale.
However, one day he picked up a.
n.ewspaper containing an account of
how Mr. Richard Quirk, of Fortune
Harbor,' had been cured 'of Lumbago
by Dodd's Kidney Pills. After read-
ing this Mr. Boon made up his ixend
to try this remedy and at once 'be-
gan a treatment.
He used altogether twenty:one
boxes before be was able to go to
work again, but now be is able to
attend to his daily duties as strong
and vigorous as any man along the
coast.
Mr. Boon is a fisherman and is at
present engaged at lobster fishing
with no thought whatever of his old
time Been Ache and other pains.
' The people here regard this cure as
little short of miraculous.
