"I read in a mental journal, doc-

trouble is often the result of ante-

The doctor grunts an assent.
"And I've sometimes wondered,"
she goes on, "whether the fact that
'pay mother had•. malaria for many
months before I was born, could. have
had anything to do with it?"
The doctor's reply is a question :
"Where did you mother live?"
"In Brantford."
"On the Grand," he rejoined. "Mal-
aria was very common all along the
Grand River in the old days. Why,

The patient remembers too. Strange
how long `since certain very old pic-
tures have flashed upon her mental
retina. She recollects how the idea
persisted that malarial fever had been
born into her system. As in a dream,

oculists as to a chronic army surgeon named Laveran had
discovered the organism in the blood
which caused this intermittent
fever; and the various types had been
recognized. Dr. Hall was acquainted
with these facts, for he refers to the
tertian and quartan varieties of the
disease; • but it was not until 13
years after he addressed the Wash-
ington meeting that the part played
by the female Anopheles mosquito in
the spread of the malady had been
positively determined. So we are not
surprised to read in the doctor's
'study of "the case of Mrs. D.," who
suffered from sore eyes, due to "sup-
pressed malaria," that Mrs. D. lived
"40 miles away, on our northern
railroad" (possibly near the Holland
River?) "contiguous to an extensive
marsh, the proximity of which
eventually induced recurring attacks
of intermittent fever." The dart that
pinned Marsh to Malaria—that other
sad M. the Mosquito—had not yet
pricked its way into prominence; but
that the disease had a grip on large

FARM NOTES
More Dollar Wheat For Western
Farmers.
That the day of dollar wheat is
still with us is clearly shown by spe-
cial feeding tests conducted during
the past winter at the federal Experi-
mental Station at Rosthern, Sask.
Tests were made with low grade bar-
ley and wheat. Twenty head of year-
ling Shorthorns were used in the test
and the grain was fed with cut oat
sheaves. It proved slightly cheaper
to produce a pound of grain with bar-
ley than with wheat but the import-
ant feature of the tests was the value
found for these grains when marketed
through beef cattle, and this was as
follows:—

The lot fed ground wheat appeared
to relish their ration better than the
lot fed barley, but there was no waste
in either lot. An average of five
pounds of grain per day per head was
fed. This shows conclusively that
live stock are rapidly increasing in
importance as a medium for the mar-
keting of grain crops.
