It is not always fun to go out and hunt' the cows whoa it begins to rain; but we had better do it than permit thorn to roans about in the pasture, all dump and chilly, till chore time, Success in farming de- pends on just such little things as this.

If the pastutres during ,luno aro luxuriant and abundant, it will be as well to decrease the grain ration to almost nothing.

Prof, - Sch- wonhtger, who is better known to the world as Prince Bismarck's medi- cal adviser, defends himself against the reproach that too fete operations aro performed in the hospital unclog his charge. Elis conviction, he says, is that rocourse is liac1 to operations far too frequently now -a -days, One disease after another is handed ovor to operative technique, and the way in which the physician is pushed on ono side by the surgical handicrafts- man floes not seem to him right, Surgery, which sees nothing and knows nothing outside its ow'n nar- rowly staked -out provinoe, fat'gets too often that other ways also lead to the goal. "Stop by stop," continues Pro- fessor Schweninger, "the physician has had to givo way before the more fot'tunate surgeon, whose success is mom qulckly evident, and we must to -day quietly loot( on while frenzy celebrates trlun11ihs where mechanism of the briefest and most generalizing Inference takes po550seion of supor- stltioes spirits."
