Look Over the Cows The lice and mange mites attacking farm animals are most troublesome during the winter period, These pests! should have been removed during the autumn, when the application of a car-| bolic wash was in order. Where neg- lect has permitted lice to multiply, ine} to the season of cold weather, the use of a dry dusting powder is preferable to dipping or washing. Various com: mercial dustingfi powders are offered for the destruction of lice or such can be made up by using as an active agent one of the common parasite killers, as derris powder, pyrethrum powder or powdered sabadilla seed. Mange mite can be held in check by the use of crude oil, until dipping or washing with lime-sulphur solution is practical in the spring.

Answer.--It would be impossible to give a definite answer regarding the period required for nitrogen exhaus- tion in the soil that you mention, This might be judged by the growth of the legumes and other crops that followed in rotation if you an get any record of this. it would be of distinct advantage for you to send samples of this surface 8 in. soil and the next 12 in. to our laboratory.

G. W.--Just how does sulphate of potash act on the tobacco plant and what is the relationship between sul phate and muriate? How much sul- phate of potash would there be in a 3-105 fertilizer for flue tobacco? Answer.--Actual experiments and measurements show that sulphate of potash as a source of potash in a flue tobacco fertilizer produes a leaf which will burn with a clear whitish ash. When muriate of potash is used the ash is a darker colour and the burn of the tobacco is not nearly so good. In other words the tobaco will continue to go out when ignited.

Save the Lambs This disease Is caused by a germ en-. tering the circulation of the lamb at the time of birth or soon after, by way of the raw navel cord. The lamb born in an unclean pen lies down, bringing the raw stump of the cord into con- tact with the germ-laden floor. The navel cord enlarges and if squeezed exudes a purulent fluid, it does not dry as quickly as normal, but remains large, soft and raw. The lamb lies around, does not suck, becomes dull, gets stiff and the joints swell. Pre- vent this joint ill disease by giving the ewe a clean, well disinfected, freshly bedded pen im which to lamb. Wash her teats and udder and remove any, wool tags likely to be in the way. When the lamb is born saturate the stump of the navel cord with a ten per cent. carbolic solution or other equally strong disinfectant. Repeat this daily until the cord dries up. Pregnant ewes should be getting iodine in salt.

Water solidifies when it is nearly "boiling hot"--that is, at a tempera ture that would cause it to boil at or- dinary pressures. Some of the odd qualities of things under pressures of fifteen tons to the square inch as investigated at Har- vard and described in Current Science . (Columbus, Ohio), are as follows: "The strangest thing about 'hot ice" is that it would really blister your hand because of its heat. Theres's to 'catch' in this statement, as there migt be concerning 'dry ice,' which is not water ice at all, but frozen carbon dioxid, and would injure tissues of your fingers because of its extreme cold. Ice at x 180 degrees Fahrenheit would be at the temperature of scald ing--almost boiling--water, and would really burn an inquisitive finger. " 'Hot ice' is merely one of the sur przing results obtained by Prof. P. W. Bridgman of Harvard University, whe has invented a laboratory machine by which extremely high pressures cas be applied to various gases liquids, and solids. "The apparatus used is really rather complicated, but works on a simple principle. A hole is bored into ®& large, thick block of steel. The sub- stance to be compressed--water, for example--is put into the hole. A plug of special design that is practically non-leaking is inserted in the hole, then pressure is applied to the plug. "Almost any amount of pressure could be applied, using the 'mechani cal advantages' of levers and gears in modern machinery. The upper Hmit in Professor Bridgman's apparatus, however, depends upon the final leak- of the plub or the bursting of fhe steel block, "In his daily experiments, pressures up to 200,000 pounds per square inch are obtained easily with the apparat- us. When necessary, pressures up to 300,000 pounds have been measured with fair accuracy. In a few instances a tremendous force of 600,000 pounds per square inch has been locked up within the steel block, which in these cases was placed beind thick boiler- plate for the protection of the operat- ors. The pressure within the largest guns upon a battleship is less than" one-tenth of that amount at the mo- ment of firing!" ee mesma NEGATIVE LIVING Living to escape trouble is a poor kind of existence.
