This statement quite contradicts the belief held by most physicians that cancer is not due to a specific mi cvobe. As for cancer curds, they are end- less, Professor L olller injects mos- quito virus;. another doctor believes that cider is a sure CURE AND PREVENTATIVE. X-rays, ltowever, seen to have done more real good tllau all the other remedies together. When Queen Victoria came to the throne, the 'famous physician, John Minter, divided all illnesses to which flesh is Moir into three divrstons-- those which sulphur could cure, those which mercury could cure, and those which nothing could cure. Medical science has made enormous strides since that period, but there are still other diseases besides cancer which doctors freely confess they are unable t0 cope with. No cure, for instance, lips yet been discovered for leprosy ' and; like cancer, leprosy Is steadily spreading. It exists in every country in Europe, except Great Britain, Holland, and Denmark. Australia has it, New Zealand, Mexico, all Africa, Japan, China, and the islands of the Pacific. British India has 125,000 lepers, and even the United States has many hundreds of cases. Although the bacillus of leprosy has been recogniz- ed, doctors are stili divided as to whether the disease is infectious or not. In India LEPERS' ARE NOT REPT separate ; in most other canaries they are, .As for cures, many have been tried —solve of them very curious ; but it is doubtful whether a case of tubercular leprosy has evar been bured. the latest remedies are the poisons of the cobra and of the rattlesnakes. Dr. de Moura, of Sao Paulo, Brazil, is the latest experi- menter to light leprosy with snake - 1 011 0111. Some year's ago a number of the inmates of a lunatic asylum fell ill of a mysterious disease. They be- came drowsy, refused food, and, finally, slept constantly till death ensued. The medical attendants identified the illness as beri-beri, the dreaded sleeping sickness which kills whole villages of natives on the steamy West Coast of Africa, Beri- beri Is another of these diseases which baffle physicians. Cause and cure are alike unknown. The extraordinary vagaries of in- fluenza are a standing puzzle to the medical profession. .Between 11339 and 1889 the disease was almost un- knowe. In that year it mild ]?ORIS OF INFLUENZA circled the whole world from East to West, and in 1890 returned, and took a reverse course—from West to East. in 1891 influenza of a moro severe type seized New Orleans, cov- ered tho United States, reached Eng- land in April, stayed there all the summer, and thee radiated S.L. to Spain and N.M. to Russia. It never readied Asia or Africa, -but In December carne back, and carefully covered again all the ground it had already been over. It is not known why the journeys of this 'disease should be so eccentric, nor why it should be so much more severe ie. type in some years than ti, others. Other smaller puzzles coo• necLed with influenza are why Jcws almost entirely escape its ravages, and why artisans working in high temperatures should he also exempt. Can a human being be infected with consumption from a cow or other a nimni ? is 'ion n This a quest which has been debated by experts all over the world during the past year or two. Dr. Koch, tho great Cornton expert, thinks not ' most of the British schools of medicine do not agree with Min. As for consumption cures, their variety is endless ; but NO SPECIFIC IS KNOWN. Dr. hall' succeeded in curing several mild cases with LL medicine composed of arsenious acid, carbolate of pot- ash, cinanlyllic acid, and opium. Another physician has perforated some renutrlcttble cures with injec- tions of 3013010 acid, which seems u, sterilize the poison that is destroy- ing the lungs.

Very Hard on the Nerves of the Soldiers. To -day a mall may die as soon as the enemy's long guns, hidden away in the distant cloud -topped moun- tains seven miles away, begin to .talk. And over that seven miles he must wall: with caution, with a wide interval between him and his pals on either hand; he must lie down et every short halt and scratch the ground hurriedly with his little spade at every long one, for the great shells are sailing toward him, and he sees by his officer's eye and hears by his comn100ds that it is considered that ho utast perish at any !moment, and that precautions are necessary to preserve hint. Leo Sees, Moreover, how futile those pre- cautions must be if 0110 of those 010115181'8 !fowling overhead should land as near to him as the last one did to that blasted tree, for in- stance, with its scorched, dangling limbs and the huge charred fissure in its stout trunk, or as the ono be- fore did to 1:110 thane of mules in the ambulance waggon, now a scream- ing, struggling jumble of harness and bloody flesh. All this is dispiriting and appears unnecessary. The country on all sides is as peaceful as his native dale, not a sign of an enemy. Even the great blue hill ahead, on which he is told the enemy's long guns ore posted, looks as quiet as the moun- tain on .'t Chl'lstnute card. Yet for two utiles ho walks through death, thinkingonly of it because there is nothing also to think of, and then, ne twilight fails, bivouacs in extended line, sees his friends run for their Lea between the fall of the shells, notices ono of them time his rust back badly and Meet a projectile in 1311 career, to part front it an awful and disgusting offence, and then iicas down in thedarkness with 5 c .hotels_ nerves and the thought that five worse miles still intervene between 11031. and the guns ho knows he is in- tended to taice.

RECORDS, Dominion Live Stock Commis- sioner Gives Saone Valuable LSints. As means of converting the raw products of the farm into ,more 5110ab13 forms, the good dairy cow is without a peer., The good beefing animal will pay very little filo 1n oro than mar3tet prices for food fed from birth to shambles. 7313e snoop, with. her fleece and her Jambs gives only a very modest profit on feed consent ec1. The rig and the hen, if wisely fed, do much better than either of the above, but it is very seldom that the returns from either of thein go beyond one dollar and fifty cents for mm dollar's worth of food consumed. The dairy cow, hewever, frequently goes as high as two dollars worth of product for 0110 dollar's worth of food, and many a cow has been known to give two dollars and fifty cents worth of product for one dol- lar's worth of food consumed. Afost herds fall far short of such a high return. The reasons may be 9um- marlied as lac!: of breeding, 3)1:1 - proper or insull]ciont feeding, and lack of judgment and management. IIVI':RY DAI1RY HERD. should average over fifty dollars' worth of products per Cow per year, If your herd is not giving you such a return you are vat doing it jus- tice. Possibly, every individual in the herd is not a number one dairy cow, but do you know which are really doing good work and the 're- lative merits of the different cows ? in brdcr to know your cows you must keep It daily record of the milk Yielded by each cow. Wo would like to see you do this. Wo are willing to help you do it. During the past year a, number of dairy farmers, at our suggestion, made an effort along. this line. 'Ciro results were most satisfactory. In, our possession arts! many farmer's letter's, emphasizing the importance and Talo° of • such records, both its. a guide i11 selecting cows and as an effective means of Directly improving the actual herd. The extra outlay required is very small. We would supply you with record forms for a time at least. The ]seeping of such records takes about One-half minute per COW per day. The outlay for a balance would, be from fifty teals to five dollars. - The increased flow of milk due to keeping such a record where ten cows are kept would pay for the balance of the week. Keeping milk- ing records induces a spirit of in- terest 011 f competition among mill- er's, and, in the mind of the milker, among the cows minced by the same milker. Rapid, clean, and careful vlilkf119 will raise the average re- turn from a cow by from two to ten per cent. according to tire. cow—the better the cow the greater the in- crease. 1b' YOU EVER SELL 001VS the ability to give an accurate milk record will, generally speaking, raise a cow's value, and facilitate the sale, Especially is this true if she is a pure bred. further, know- ing the rel:urns from ea011 cow iu any herd, you are in a position to easily select for breeding, besides,, in almost every Hord are found "board- er's"—cows that pray a very low price for their food, leave no pro- fit, and frequently aro kept at a loss. They should be detected and fed all for beef. Keeping a milk re- cord is a sure way to discover them. To the breeder of pure bred stock of any of the Milking breeds, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Canadian, or milking Shorthorn strains, the daily mills record should be quite as im- portant as the breeding record. We venture the assumption that in a very few years, every breed putting forwardany claims as a dairy breed, will be making tt specialty of milk records. The reasons are obvious. Beauty of style. color, and conformation are very important, and where the breeder makes his money in some other line than farming, he may be able to keep animals for their looks alone. We, who are farming ior mo- ues-, must look to the profit side of u '0cything.

She Will Have Post of Ironer at Coronation, The honor of walking next to royally at the British coronation ceremonies belongs to the Duchess of Sutherland, one of the handsomest and most talented women of Eng- land, She will hold that distin- guished rank because of the fact that the Duke of Norfolk, the here- ditary master of ceremonies, is a widower, having lost his wife several years ago. The Duchess of Sutherland is slot of English birth. She comes from the land of the heather and carries a, soft burr in the turn of her tongue, which is no manner of de- traction from her manly charms. Sho was Susan Margaret McKinnon, the daughter of Charles McKinnon, be- fore she assumed a coronet, a11d one of the richest heiresses in tho Brit- ish Isles. The duke is a landed proprietor who counts his acres by the thous- ands. Ily actual count he is lord of 25,400, his estates being among the most splendid in the country. He is now in his fifty-sixth yen V. The duchess is the most democratic in the whole Seymour (or St, Maur, as it was formerly written), 00113)00- HShe has a most winning and ! affable nature, is gracious without, trondescension and possessed of a broad cliarity that argues an optim- istic view of the world. Fashionable society has at no time had groat at- traction for her, and it is a humor- ous irony that the proudest distinc- tion of the forthcoming crowning of the sovereign should fall to the wo- man who least desires It. Outdoor sport has at all times been her favorite recreation. Sho was awheel 1019 before the bicycle became the fad of the smart set. She is also an excellent shot, aid has been her hufiband's;comrado in many an expedition for- big game. Tho duchess has, as well, no mean reputation as a litterateur• Ilex name is familiar as a magazine con- tributor, and her account of the beautiful Dart, known locally as "Tho British 'thine," is accounted the best description of that silver stream. The Duchess, should the priority of rank be ,strictly followed, will have for her immediate associates as at- tendants on her Majesty the Duchess of Loaufart, the Duchess of St. M- oans and the Duchess of Leeds.
