HAS NEW ANAESTHETIC. South German Professor Declares Physiciasn and Patients Will Be Able to Joke, Prof. Bier, the distinguished 'South German w.ho succeeded the late Prof, von Bergmann at the head of the sur gical faculty of the Unltvcrsity of Berlin, has devised a new and remark able anaesthetic treatment for use in operations upon, the extremities of the human body. By the application of this treat ment, which Is described as a venous transfusion, surgeons who must oper ate upon the legs or arms will no longer need to administer general anaesthesia for the purpose of render ing the pt.tient unconscious, but will be enabled to work In a perfectly bloodless and painless area, while the mind and the rest of the patient's body retain an entirely normal state. Surgeons will be able to talk poli tics or crack jokes with the patient who will be totally unaware of any thing being done to him. Another Trust. Something new In the way of trusts Is being formed under the guiding hand of J. Pierpont Morgan, the past master of organizing gigantic combi nations, according to dispatches from New York.

ThU will be in the nature of a "good" trust In that it will not worry the "common neoile" verv ninrh.

MOTHER AND CHILD Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts. The value of this famous food la shown in many ways, in addition to 'what might be expected from its chemical analysis. Grape-Nuts food is made of whole wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked for many hours and contains all the wholesome ingredients In these cereals. It contains also the phosphate of potash grown in the grains, which Nature uses to build up brain and nerve cells. Young children require proportion ately more of this element because the brain and nervous system of the child grows so rapidly. A Va. "mother found the value of Grape-Nuts in not only building up her own strength but in nourishing her baby at the same time. She writes: "After my baby came I did not re cover health and strength, and the doctor said I could not nurse the baby as I did not have nourishment for her, besides I was too weak. ."He said I might try a change of diet and see what that would do, and recommended Grape-Nuts food. I bought a pkg. and used it regularly. A marked change came over both baby and I. "My baby is now four months old, Is in fine condition, I am nursjng her and doing all my work and never felt better in my life." "There's a Rea son. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Milk weighs about eight and ft halt pounds to the gallon, varying a little according to the percentage of solids. Cream will weigh about eight pounds to the gallon, varying some accord ing to the percentage of butter fat. The richer the cream the less it weighs. Pure butter fat weighs a lit tle less than seven and throe-quarters pounds to the gallon. Liquids expand when heated and contract when cool ed. A gallon of milk or cream when heated will be less than a gallon when cooled. American Cultivator. MAMMOTH CLOVER MANURE. Where It will grow, medium red clover is ordinarily the best variety to grow.

SHADE FOR IIOG3. Tf hogs are to thrive in pastnra, shade must be provided. Some farm ers cut away every vistago of shade. The hog loves a cool damp shade where he can He and snooze during the heat of the day. If left in a pas ture with no shade he will suffer. Ex perience of prominent breders shows, however, that a md wallow Is by no moans necessary. If the hog cannot have a clean bath, no bath is pretrr ahle, but Sus is a child of the soil and he should have cool moist ground to lie upon. Farmers Home Journal. ROMAN NOSED HORSE. It is said that the horse With tho Roman nose Is likely to be a good ani mal for hard work, and not afraid of the cars, lie is also apt to he slow. According to an authority of the Roy al College of Veterinary Surgeons. England, the horse's face Is a good Index to his character. If there Is a general curve to tho profile and at the same time tho ears are pointed nn.l sensitive, it is safe to describe tho animal as gentle and at the same time high-spirited. If on the other hand, the horse has a dent in the middle of his nose, he is likely to be treach erous and vicious. A horse that droops his ears Is apt to be lazy as well as vicious. Ho you attempt to feed and rest the horse at noon with his harness on? A man might as well think to enjoy his dinner by sitting down to it with overcoat, hat and gloves on, GRINDING FEED. The experiments of the agricultural experiment stations do not uniformly give results favorable to grinding feed. But the preponderance of evidence of these experiments Is clearly In fav or of grinding feed. And especially for young stuff and milch cows. But more Import than even the ex periments of the stations Is, In our humble opinion, the practice of the most successful farmers and stock men. They use the feed grinder year af ter year. And they are the kind that do not do what Is unprofitable in ac tual farm practice. They do not grind all the feed. But they use the feed grinder enough to make It worth while to have one. A feed grinder Is not such a very expensive proposition and rightly us ed It is as profitable an investment as the average farmer or stockman can make. Weekly Witness. WHEN COWS SHOULD DRY. As to when cows should be dried from milking, a dairyman giving hi own experience says that this de pends to some extent on the' quality and vigor of the cow, and that a cow In poor condition may be allowed twj months in which to recruit her strength, with advantage to herself and her prospective calf, but this is to some extent a matter of keep, for the poor cow generally belongs to the poor feeder, and, if the feeding is gen erous, the. animal healthy, and the quantity of milk produced pays ex penses there Is no reason why the period of rest should not be further reduced. In the case of the average cow, the milking can be continued until within a month of calving. If A cow Is in low condition, it Is better In our opinion, to resort to higher feeding than to dry off. We have known cows treated thus for many years, sometimes being milked to wlihln a month of calving, that havj carried as good an appearance, and produced equally good calves, as those which run dry nearly three times as long. Six weeks may be con sidered the average period during which a cow should be dry, unless tho Circumstances are exceptional. Indi ana Farmer. ; CURS FOR SCALY LEG. Coal oil alone Is little used for scaly leg. It Is too severe a treat ment. Coal oil with raw. Unseed oil is very commonly used, and is an ex cellent remedy much more easily ap plied than anything that has to be rubbed in. Sulphur and lard, or even lard alone, is good. Whether It Is better than coal oil and linseed oil, I GARDEN cannot say. The latter mixture cer tainly; is efficacious and very easily applied. For the former a half mix ture Is good. It more time can be tak en, use about two parts linseed to one part coal oil. It you are in a hurry, take a stiff old tooth bruBh, and rub oft as much of the scale as can be taken off readily in this way, then dip the legs to the hock, in the oil. If you are not, at Intervals of a few days go through the affected flock at night, and dip the feet of every hen, holding her with feet In the oil, just an Instant, letting the oil drip from the feet into the pail an Instant more, then replacing her on the roost. Farm Poultry. TESTS FOR A GOOD HORSE. One not familiar with all the points of a good horse will find in the following from the Farming World, Eomo good suggestions: Never buy a horse while in motion; watch him stand still. If sound he will stand firmly and squarely on his limbs without moving, except when he has very high life. He. will be flat on the ground with legs plump and naturally poised. If one foot is thrown forward and toe pointed to the ground with heel raised, or If foot Is lifted disease of tho navicular bone may be inspected or at least a tenderness which Is liable to develop into serious disease. If the foot Is thrown out, tee raised and heel brought down, tho horse has suffered from lamlnltis, founder, or the back sinews are sprained, he will prove worthless. If feet are drawn together, beneath the horse, it Indicates a dis placement of limb- and weak disposi tion of the muscles. If horse stands with feet spread apart, or straddles with his hind legs, there Is weakness of the loins and the kidneys are dis ordered. If knees are bent and trem ble, the horse has been ruined "by heavy pulling. You run great risk In buying hollos with contracted or bad formed hoofs. It Is always safest to have the horse thoroughly examined by a competent veterinary surgeon before closing the deal. FARM NOTES. The sire is halt the herd and more than half If he Is pure bred and the females are scrubs or grades. For Injuries to the teats or udder of the cow, an ointment made from a mixture of fresh butter and tar 13 excellent. Over-ripe cream, too much churning and overworking are three general faults In butter making. Guinea fowls are a small expense to raise as they get most of their liv ing during warm weather. They are fairly good layers. Fright is as disastrous for a hen as for a cow. Be gentle around tho flock; It pay. Don't blame the Incubator for a poor hatch when the fault was with tho eggs or the management. Sick chlr.Uens are not only useless but disgusting; don't let them got sick. Fowls do not got sick from choice; there is always a reason. No matter what method is used, skim clean. Butter fat will not make enough pork to be an economical hog feed. Feeding calves milk that Is too coll or too much milk at one time may cause scours. A cup of wheat flour and a raw egg In its milk is recom mended as a mild remedy for a calf with scours. It Is gainful to keep calves clean and dry. It Is very poor economy to expose them to driving rains in chilly weather or to quarters that are damp or filthy. If buying hay for dairy cows, re member that It profits to give some thing more for alfalfa or cowpea hay than for hays that are less nitrogen ous, since alfalfa or cowpea hay Is a better milk producer for the same reason that cottonseed meal Is. The Necessary Shock. A college professor had been seri ously HI of a fever for several weeks, but the fever had left him at last, and he lay In a stupor, utterly exhausted. "This is the really critical period," the attending physician said to the watchers. In an undertone. "It he has sufficient vitality to carry him through this and I am strongly dis posed to hope he has he will re cover. At present there Is nothing we can do but be patient and give nature a chance, watching' In the meantime for an opportunity to awak en his interest in what is going on about him." One of the attendants, who hap pened to be standing near the win dow looking at the rosy sunset, re marked to the doctor: "See what a lurid sky there is." The sick man opened his eyes and turned his head in the direction in dicated.' "Lurid!" he exclaimed, in a tone of disgust. "If you will consult your dictionary, madam, you will find that lurid means gloomy, ghastly, dismal!'' "He will recover!" announced the -doctor, triumphantly. Youth's Com panion.

It Is not only in American cities that school teachers are Bomtimes so scarce as to make the school author ities wonder how all the school rooms are to be supplied. In many of the states of Germany there has been an even greater lack, due mainly to the exceedingly Btnall salaries paid. Sev en years ago statistics for the entire German eruplre showed an average of 61 pupils to a class, although educa tional expects hold that not mtire than 30 in a class should be permit ted. Today In Saxony, which has the reputation of having the best schools In Germany, more than half the Bchools have classes of 80 and over, while almost 10 per cent of them have attendances from 130 to 174. In Prussia in 1901, 1,828 teachers' posi tions were left unfilled, while by 1900, the number had grown to 3,049. Chi cago Record Herald. Electric Heart from Stoves.
