PASTEUR TREATMENT CURED MANY PATIENTS

Only 2 Deaths Outof 131 Treated ‘for Rabies' Since Laboratory v Was Established. Since the establishment of the pasteuT laboratory, Jufte 12, 1911, the Indiana state board of health has treated 131 persons to prevent rabies. Only two of that number died. In his monthly report Dr, Will Shimer, superintendent of the state pathological laboratory, presents data concerning the results of the pasteur treatment as administered in big laboratories of European cities and reaches the conclusion that the deaths of two persons taking the treatment in Im diana “can not be attributed to a failure of the treatment, but must be due to the short Incubation period—thirty-six days—which did not permit the establishment of immunity.” Statistics show, says Dr. Shimer, that the total mortality of persons bitten, having received the anti-rabies inoculation, is pretty constantly about 1 per cent. There are at this time sixteen persons receiving the anti-rabies treatment at the state laboratory.

Automatic Increase Will Interest Old Soldiers.

The bill to make increase of pension automatic upon the arrival of the pensioner at the higher age has gone through quite easily. Representative Russell, of Missouri, member. of the committee on invalid pensions, succeeded in passing it through the house, and on Monday, March 3, Senator McCumber, from the senate committee on pensions, saw his opportunity, and secured permission to introduce “a small bill,’’ which was read, and the senate went into committee of the whole to consider the bill, which consideration was confined to Senator Johnson asking what changes had been made, which Senator McCumber explained, whereupon the bill was ordered to a third reading and passed. As passed the bill is as follows:

“Sec. 5. That it shall be the duty of the Commissioner of Pensions, as each application for pension file i under this act is adjudicated, u cause to be kept a record showing the name, length of service and age of each claimant, the monthly rate of payment, granted to or received by him, and the county and state of his residence; and shall at the time of the fiscal year 1914 tabulate the records so obtained by states and counties, and to furnish certified copies thereof upon demand and payment of such fee therefor as is provided by law for certified copies of records in the execut've departments; and that further increase of ’ rate under this act on account of advancing age shall be made without further application by pensioner and shall take effect and commence from the date he is shown by the aforesaid record to have attained the age provided by this act as a basis of'rating: Provided, That where a claim has been heretofore adjudicated and the record therein does not sufficiently establish the date of birth of the soldier or sailor pensioner nothing herein shall prevent such further investigation as is deemed necessary, in order to establish a record upon which future increases of rate under this act, on account of advancing age, may be possible, the object being to advance automatically the rate of pension, as provided for by this aet, without unnecessary expense to the pensioner.” This will not only be an immense convenience to the veterans in saving them from having to fill out new applications and file them, but it will be a great saving to the government in the cost of clerical work.

Prune But Do Not “Top or Butcher” Tour Shade Trees.

/Shade trees should be cared for so as to preserve their natural form. This not only adds beauty but prolongs their life A vigorous and symmetrical tree Is inspiring and elevating, hot when the same tree is “topped,” it is shorn of its beauty and it merely excites one’s sympathy as would anything else that is 4 crippled or helpless. The ugly stubs made by “topping” a tree never heal over and decay, which much shortens the life of the tree hegins at once. ••• ••••-- ■ . • ■- ■> The pruning of shade trees should begin when they are planted. Practically all of the pruning should be confined to the removal of the lowest Branches until the top is about ten feet above the ground. If the terminal forks, one part of it should be cut off and so should branches in the crown that interfere with one another.

It is a grave mistake to permit a shade tree to head too low, as is common with the Norway Maple. When the head is low it obstructs the view, prevents a free circulation of the air and its shade prevents a growth 6t grass about the tree. These objections are usually not apparent until the branches are large and when their removal would destroy the symmetry of the tree and leave large wounds to start decay. ■ When a branch is removed the cut should be made smooth and'as close to the axis of support as possible. Never leave a stub, no matter if it is only a half of an inch long. A shade tree is so valuable that it is entitled to a careful pruning. Do the work correctly, even if it takes a little longer time. Branches that.are too heavy to he supported with" the hand should be removed by first sawing on the under side about ten inches from the base until the saw “tightens,” then saw on the top side a few inches farther from the base until the branch falls. Then remove the stub, which can be supported by the hand. This will prevent the branch from tearing off a great piece of the body of the tree, which is so frequently observed, when it falls. A book on how and when to prune shade trees can be obtained free by writing to the State Forester at Indianapolis, Ind.

Seed Corn Will Be Tested Free by the High School.

Farmers of Jasper county should take note of the fact that last year over 25 per cent of the corn planted in Indiana failed to grow. This caused the farmers a great loss, which could have been very largely avoided if they had used as seed only such corn as had been subjected beforehand to a germinating test and found to have full germinating power. If all of the kernels of an ear will not sprout in a germination test, that ear should not be usM for planting. When such are planted, replanting is usually necessary and if the field is not then replanted there is a loss of that proportion of the. crop that might have been had and also there is a crop of cultivated weeds grown in the vacant hills. In order to aid the farmers about Rensselaer or elsewhere in this problem, the agricultural department of the Rensselaer high school will test all seed corn brought to it, free of charge. The department anxious to do this and is sure that it could aid those wishing their seed corn tested. All corn tested will be ready for return within two weeks after receiving it and each lot will be labeled with the result of t the sprouting, or germinating power of each car.

McCormick Author of One of Most Important Laws.

Chester A. McCormick, of North Judson, the youngest member of the senate, and the only democrat that has ever represented Jasper, Newton, Starke and White counties in that body, is author of one of the most important laws enacted at this session. It ft known as the McCormick “loan shark” bill. By the provisions of this measure the standing of the petty money lender is clearly defined, and the individual or company engaged in this business is prohibited from eharg ing more than 2 per cent a month interest, with the minimum fee of $3 for making a loan. This fee to include all costs of the loan papers. Every petty moriey lender must pay In to the office of the county clerk licerfte fee’ of SSO and furnish a $2,000 bond guaranteeing to observe all Sections of the new law which applies to all loans up to $250. Heretofore the poorer and ignorant class of Indiana after once they have fallen into the clutches of the loan sharks have found themselves at the mercy of a class of human leaches that haveknown no conscience in robbing their victims. These loan sharks have been known to get as nyich as 400 per cent interest. If they had fought the money lender this could have been prevented, but the class of people that have been the vfttims have not known their rights, but have been without funds to employ attorneys to fight the loan sharks. The McCormick bill recognizes the risk a petty money lender takes in loaning amounts of $250 or less, and establishes a legal rate of interest of 2 per cent a month. This law is fair to both lender and borrower, and is a great credit to its author, Senator McCormick, who got it through the senate with only two votes against it.

Basketball Tournament Now Being Held at Bloomington.

The state high school basketball tourney started yesterday with 38 teams from all parts of the state entered. Three games started at 8 o’clock and continued throughout the day. In almost every instance the games were hard-fought and spectacular. All the up-state teams appear to be very strong. South Bend, Lafayette and Gary, each won three games. Manual Training High, of tfidianapolis, won two. Rochester, wh6 had the distinction of gaining the only victory of the season over South Bend, was defeated in their first game by the Wingate quintette in a hard fought battle, 19 to 17. Lebanon and Anderson furnished the best game of the day, the former winning 34-24. The teams began arriving Thursday, and hundreds of spectators accompanied them. The hotels and fraternity houses were filled to overflowing. It will be the best tournament ever held in the state. The games will be continued by yesterday’s winners and the final game for the state championship will be held As a curtain raiser tp the Indiana-Purdue game tonight. Shelbyville, another strong aggregation, was put out of the running by the Lebanon team in their opening game. Lebanon has surprised the dopestera in the two games they have played and will have to be counted in the running. South Bend seems to be somewhat over rated, but appear to be the coming champs.

Bulletin on Oats Culture By Purdue University.

Statistics for the last ten years show that the state has produced oh the average 30 bushels of oats per acre. The average price for the same period has been about 35 cents per bushel, the average gross returns per car being $10.50. We know that many, farmers are raising 50 to 60 bushels per acre right along, while many more are raising less than the 30 bushel state average. Fair estimates show that It will cost in the neighborhood of $5.50 per acre to grow a crop of oats, not counting anything for land rental. There are several causes for the low yields of oats in Indiana, principal among which are unfavorable seasons, poor soil treatment, and poor seed, Oats is naturally a cool weather crop and any season which is hot and dry will not produce a very large crop of oats of the best quality. The soil treatment and cultural methods on the average farm fall far short of what they should be.

The ground should be put in a loose, level, well pulverized condition, with no clods as large as one’s fist. After the ground is properly prepared, care should be taken to properly distribute the seed. There are ways in which the seed can be distributed on the ground as uniformly as with the drill, but there is no way in which all the seed can be sown to the same depth, except by the use of the drill. Among the causes of low yields which farmers can overcome, is the use of a variety poorly adapted to the climate in which it is being grown. The station variety tests covering a period of riine' year?, show that the average yield of the ten highest yielding varieties is 12.3 bushels more than the average of the ten lowest yielders. This difference is sufficient to pay for nearly half the cost of producing a crop. Among the better yielders, of which seed can generally be found among farmers or seedmen, are the following: Big Four, Emperor William, Great American, Great Dakota, National, Silver Mine, and Sweedish Select.

Another cause of low yields and one which can be cheaply prevented is the infection of the seed oats with loose smut. The yield is frequently diminished as much as 20 per cent. Fifty cents worth of formaldehyde arid one dollar in labor will treat enough oats with which to sow 20 acres. How can we treat the oats? Mix one pdund of formaldehyde with 50 gallons of water. This is enough to treat 50. bushels of oats. Spread the oats oUt in a thin layer, moisten with the solution by means of a sprinkler and shovel over thoroughly, making sure to distribute (;he moisture to every kernel. Then pile up and cover with a canvas and leave tor four hours. The oats'is then yeady to spread out to dry, after which the seed may be sown. It-is well to thoroughly disinfect the sacks, bins and drill to prevent reinfection. Frequently low yields are caused by too small an amount of seed per acre being sown. Station experiments show that the best yields are, on the average, obtained from sowing from two and one half to three and one half bushels of oats per aere. The average of four years’ work at the Indiana Station to determine the best rate to seed oats shows the use of three bushels per acre to have produced three bushels more than that produced by any other seeding. When the farmer has sought out the most prolific Variety, prepared the seed in every way to guard against poor stand and ' disease, and has properly attended to the Boil and seeding, he has done what he is naturally expected to do in raising oats, and then he may expect to get profitable returns.

A million dollar hotel for working girls and women employed in downtown stores is the aim of a move ment started Wednesday by the Chicago chapter of the D. A. R. Circular letters are being sent out to prominent businessmen asking their support. Three donations of $50,000 each have been made. They came from John G. Shedd, L. •W. Noyes, and former Congressman William B. McKinley, and were pledged on condition that the $1,000,000 be obtained.
