But If It is to be applied by a spray pump, much more water will be needed, and the wash must be strained, through a cloth. The whitewashing should be done when the cows are not in the room.

Ordinarily it Is not. neces- sary to do the whitewashing oftener than every six weeks through the winter seas- on, but let the fall application lse done awl very thoroughly. The best method for keeping milk is ta keep it from the air, as many bacteria get into the milk from the air. The bac- terio in warm milk are in the ideal zned- ium for growth and reproduction. A var- iety of bacteria repreduce by division, and a generation of bacteria may grow in twenty minutes. As thousands of bacteria can play hide-and-seek through a needle's eye, one can appreciate se number contained in a drop of the milk. They cannot grow and multiply it too milk is kept cool. An important consideration in deter- mining the feeding value of cern silage, compared -with that of corn, stover, fod- den-corn or bundle corn, is that in ensil- age the whole of the plant, including the stems, is converted into succuleni. and nourishing food. When in any of the other forms the stems are rejected and are of value only as they gradually add to the humus of the soil.

Sir,—The following is a copy of a post. er put up by the Boards of Health in Germany: Give your children not a drop of wine. Not a drop of beer. Not a drop of bran- dy. Why? Because alcohol of any kind, even in the smallest quantity, bringa only harm to the children. (1) Alcohol checks the bodily and mental development of the children. (2) Alcohol develops sleeplessness and early nervousness. (3) Alcohol weakens the resisting powet of the body and thereby leads to the development of all kinds of disease. (4) Alcohol prolongs the duration of every illness. (5) Alcohol continually awakens re- newed thirst and on that account easily leads to- habits of drinking. That is only one of many ways by , which beer -drinking Germany is trying to teach the people the dangers of drink. These posters are not put up by temperance oraanizations, but by the Boards of Health. When will our Board of Health wake up to a sense of their duty in this most important of all their duties? H.

At fir,st skeptical as we read ot the removal, scraping, and xestora- tion of the human stomach; then the removal of one man's, tu:bereulous kidney, only to be replaced by a sound kidney of a lineman electro - mated by a live wire; suspiciously doubtful of all these actual happen- ings of yesterday, we awake to -day only to hear the seemingly incredible fact that almost any portion of our veins, nerves, muscles OT inteatines may be sumariarly removed, placed in, an incubator a.nd allowed to multiply through many subsequent genera- tions. GOLD FISH. North Sea In a Year Yields Harvest Worth • Millions. To the United Kingdom the North Sea is the most profitable fishing ground. Last year the value of the fish landed on the northeast coast was £3,740,614, over a third of the total value of the fish landed in the whole of England. and Wales, and £400,000 worth more than was landed. in the whole of Scotland and Ireland combined during the same year. The increase over 1910 was £178,- 584, and, compared with 1891, the total value of fish landed in 1911 showed an. increase of nearly £2,000,000. The number of crabs and lobsters landed showed an increase of 330,749 crabs, and 15,421 lobsters, but oysters showed a decrease. Whereas in 1891 there were landed 4,690,000 oysters, val- ued at Z8,686, last year, only 162,060 oysters, valued at £192, were landed. Taking the returns at the various ports, compared with twenty years ago, eeleeme Dr. Carrel's' report of this IlliTatU- loula bdisoovery—that our cells 'will live and grow in the teet-tube—is most eoneervative. He states that when, arteries and veins removed from hie body and those of his colleagues were placed in a material called "plaszna"—to nourish the growing eells—generation after generation would continue to be born for some- thing like 15 daya, Dr. Carrel then set himself the task to discover why thee growing, multiplying eells of the human being, though placed in. a glasss tube in a laboratory, should ever etop propagating and developing. Dr. Carrel said: "If I can grow human tissue for 15 days 'when &op- erated miles away from its original family—a man'e body—then why can- not 1 grew them forever?" "Why,'-' thought he, ".`n,eed these same cells and, tissuea, ever atop growing?" "If I find thi6 answer, then shall 1 find the final explanation of life, decay, semility and death." And marvel of marvels, the inde- fatigable, patent scientist has found this mysterious, hitherto baffling solu- tion. The everlasting life of living tissues and their procreative multiplication may be brought about, according to the official deseription of Dr. Alexis Carrel, simply by rejuvenating their food supply. By the auppression of the waste produets the substaneee that have a tendency to clog up the food supply from the bed upon which they Sunderland showed a slight decrease; •Hartlepool, an increase elf 419,614; Staithes, a decrease of £2,587, or nearly half the value landed in 1891; Whitby, a falling off of 4,779; Filey has just doubled its landings; Flamborough shows an increase of £1,191; Bridling- ton, an increase of £1,700; Hornsea, a falling off of about half the value; Hull, an increase of £430,831; and Grimsby, where the total value of fish landed in 1911 reached £2,662,626, an increase of 4'1,437,863. ‘e, During Deotember, January and Febru- ary last the amount of wet fish landed was 1,094,935 ewt., being an increase of 100,059 cwt., as compared with the cor- responding period of last year. The to- tal value of all kinds of fish landed, in - eluding shell fish, has been £920,151, be- ing an increase of £90,403, compared with the corresponding period of last year.

One scientist has tried to do so. He says a baby at birtli is worth $2,400. This enormous loss is largely prevent% able, They do things better in Franee, here the baby saving work started. ' The decreasing birth-rate aroused the French to the need of child conservation. They were first to eetablish pure milk supply stations and to educate mothers. The health officers from England vis- ited the French milk depots. They carried the idea home, as did the Germans, the Spanish and the Ameri- - eans. All the civilized cities in the world now recognize the need of child conser- vation. In Montreal,Canada, they commemor- ated the coronation of King George and Queen Mary, They did not erect a monument, but established 15 milk stations for babies. This proved more popular than the plan of having a $2,500 fireworks' die - play. The milk stations have been the great- est helpwith their accompanying mo- ther training.

"My Business is Unique" WE are told by the old-time circus men and dime - museum operators that good freaks used to command large salaries.

The places where the netting joined were care- fully stopped by fastening the web .of the wire firmly together. A plug of wood was placed in the bottom and also securely fastened, but not with permanent fastenings, as it was highly desirable to take the bottom out when the trap was full. Three or four slits about half an inch or an inch in length were cut in the netting just.about the wooden base. Th.e bait, a pleee of sugar or anything flies are supposed to have a fondness for, was placed on the in- side of the trap and a black cloth was wrapped about the entire cylinder, with the exception of the cone shaped top.

Again, they may differ largely in nutriment. when, for instance, they are neglected or poorly fed,v,or when they eat filth, eam- aged grain or tainted meat.
