AID FOR

Artificial Limbs Brought to State of Perfection. Ingenious Construction of Arm Enables Wearer to Perform Almost All the Tasks .Possible to the Normal Man. To those unfortunates who have been deprived of their hands and arms through accident or otherwise, it would appear that aid in the form of artificial limbs is about to be realized. At least, the artificial limbs invented by an American who, some twelve years ago, lost his arm while operating a milling machine in a Pittsburgh shop and devised the improved artificial limb during his convalescence emulate the natural ones to such a striking degree that the handicap heretofore suffered by cripples is materially reduced. An artifical arm was recently exhibited at the International Surgical congress held in New York, and the dexterity with which its wearer was able to perform different tasks was little short of a revelation. The artificial limb permits of the performance t of all ordinary tasks, including the drinking of a glass of gater, buttoning of shoes, tipping one's hat and, as an extreme example of its practicality, the carrying a satchel weighing about 30 pounds. In the artificial arm, fiber willow is used for the wooden portion, while steel gears take the place of joints and rawhide cords act as muscles. Each rawhide cord ends on a pair of suspenders fastened across the back and the chest, which furnishes the necessary tension. Thus the shrugging of the shoulder is made to control the arm and hand and the 240 parts of which they are composed. The rawhide muscles movQ the steel joints, and the unison that obtains makes the action of the arm almost natural. Tho elbow is bent with a simple forward movement of the stump which, by means of the cord attached from the forearm to tho shoulder suspender, raises tho hand as high as the wearer wishes high enough to take off his hat or brush his hair, if so desired. - A downward movement of the shoulder causes a slight tension on another rawhido cord controlling the fingers, which results in bending the hand backward from tho wrist joint and the opening of tho fingers. Another shrug of tho shoulder closes the fingers and locks them so that they tightly grip tho object that is being handled, from a toothpick to a valise. Repeating tho downward movement of tho shoulder causes tho fingers to bo unlocked. Tho wrist is provided with a hinge joint and a button and can bo locked securely in threo positions. If desired, tho button can bo pushed back and tho wrist flexed automatically by moans of tho cord which opens and closes the fingers. All tho work is done by tho shoulders. Raising tho elbow moves the wrist one-third of a turn. Tho accompanying lino drawings depict tho more important features of the artificial limbs. At A and B are shown the back and front views, respectively, of the shoulder harness or straps and how they are worn. The straps are so arranged that by slightly varying shrugs of the shoulders tho rawhide cords actuate the arm and hand in the desired manner. At C appears a sectional view of the arm, in which the three cords appearing at the left are, in the order shown, the finger control cord, the wrist cord and the elbow cord. The pivot appearing at the center is the elbow pivot. The two cords at the extreme right are the finger-operating cords. An enlarged view of the lever'niechanisiu of the arm appears at D. At E is shown the bevel gear mechanism which serves to turn the wrist, while at F appears the hand member. Scientific American. Class Spirit in Rainbow; The class spirit Is going strong at Hartford City. A few days ago every high school girl in the school wore silk stockings ot brilliant hues the class, colors. There was a display of hosiery of purple and gold, some pearl and gray, others green and white, and still others black and red. The boys, not to be outdone, appeared next day similarly garbed, and in many instances wore collars paiuted in class colors.

CARRIERS OF DISEASE

Dogs Bfamed' for Spread of Ailments Among Farm Stock. Department of Agriculture Recently Issued Bulletin on Subject Should Be Controlled and Properly Cared For. (By M. C. HALL, Ph. D.) The dog in the country is a useful and pleasant adjunct to the farm if he is properly controlled and cared for, but when neglected, may readily become a carrier of disease to stock, in addition to gaining opportunity to kill sheep and destroy gardens and other property. Dog ordinances, as a general rule, have been intended chiefly to curb the dog's power of doing harm by attacking, biting, killing or running sheep or stock. The part that he plays as a carrier of diseases to animals only recently has been recognized, according to the department of agriculture, which has issued a bulletin (No. 2G9) on the subject, "The Dog as a Carrier of Parasites and Diseases." Of the diseases carried to stock by dogs, the foot-and-mouth disease is probably of the greatest interest at this time. In this case the dog acts as a mechanical carrier of infection. The dog which runs across an infected farm easily may carry in the dirt on his feet the virus of this most contagious of animal diseases to other farms and thus spread the disease to the neighboring herds. In infected localities it Is absolutely essential, therefore, to keep all dogs chained and never to allow them off the farm except on leash. There are, however, many other maladies in the spread of which the dog takes an active part rabies, hydatid, ringworm, favus, double-pored tapeworm, roundworm and tongueworm aro often conveyed to human beings in this way. It occasionally happens also that tho dog helps fleas and ticks in transmitting bubonic plague or the deadly spotted fever. Hydatid disease is caused by the presence in the liver, kidneys, brain, lungs and other organs, of a bladderworm or larval tapeworm. Bladderworms aro often as large as an orange and may bo larger. A dog which is allowed to feed on carrion or the raw viscera of slaughtered animals may eat all or part of a bladder worm containing numerous tapeworm heads. These tapeworm heads develop into small segmented tapeworms in the intestines of tho dog. Tho tapeworms in turn develop eggs which are passed out In tho oxcroment of tho dog. They aro spread broadcast on grass and In drinking wator whoro animals can vory well eat them and thus become Head of a Dog Spilt in Half to Show Three Tongueworms in the Nasal Cavity. Infected. The hog is particularly liable to this disease because of its rooting habits. The eggs may get into human food, and persons who allow dogs to lick their hands and face also run the risk of getting the eggs of the tapeworm in their systems. Prevention on the farm consists in bo restraining the dog that he cannot get at carrion or raw viscera. Viscera should be boiled before being fed to dogs and should never be thrown on the fields. If not cooked and fed, viscera and carcasses should be burned, buried with lime, or so disposed of as not to be accessible to dogs. Proper feeding of the dog is essential, and the owner who does not feed a dog properly has no right to keep one. ICE DURING SUMMER MONTHS Commodity Which Every Farmer Can Have by Little Attention to Storage in Winter. Ice is a commodity which almost every farmer can have during the summer months if a little attention is given to the proper methods of storage during severe culd weather. A common type of ice house, and one that seems to give good satisfac tion, is a pit dug in the gromd or on the side of a slope, covered with a board roof to keep out the snow and rain and serve as a shade. Straw is used between the walls of the pit and the ice. One instance has been ob served where baled straw was used with good results. In the construction of any ice house, whether pit or above ground, the walls should be properly insulated so that they will not admit heat from the outside. Ventilation should be provided for the space above the ice by an opening at each end near the peak of the roof. A Good "Side Line." A profitable side line that can be worked at odd times when other work is slack will go far toward boosting the income of the average farm. Where there is a ledge of salable stone a quarry may be made to fill in gaps in the labor schedule. An out cropping of limestone may be made profitable to the advantage of the whole neighborhood by the installa tion of a stone crusher or a pulverizer

to furni3h ground limestone.

FERTILIZER FOR THE GARDEN

Most Satisfactory to Supply Liberal Quantities of All Elements Deficient in Soil. In a vegetable garden where so many plants are grown with such varying plant food requirement, it is entirely impracticable to attempt to compound fertilizer formulas suitable for the various groups of vegetables. It is far more satisfactory to supply liberal quantities of all the fertilizing elements deficient in the soil. In this way each plant will be sufficiently supplied with plant food for full development, says Bulletin 106 of the Georgia station. Animal manures of almost any kind are good for enriching the garden soil. In fact, it is quite difficult to main tain the fertility of a soil so heavily cropped as a vegetable garden unless there is an available supply of animal manures of some kind. Horse stable manure is the most convenient to ap ply; and it is very excellent for a gar den, provided there is not too much coarse particles of bedding applied just before the garden is to be planted. Winter is a good time to apply manure to the garden soil. The manure should, be hauled out and spread over all the garden area that is not occupied with vegetables. Even then the manure may be strewn along between the rows of vegetables and allowed to decompose until the vegetables are taken off and the soil turned for another crop. There is little danger of applying too much stable manure to the garden soil. If the manure is well decomposed, or If applied and plowed in a month or two before planting time, it may be used at the rate of 25 to 30 tons per acre -with beneficial effect to the crops grown. PRESERVE THE FENCE POSTS Average Farmer Can Secure Profitable Results by Heating Butts in Boiling Creosote. The question of fence posts is getting to be a serious one. Wooden posts are mounting in price, very rapidly and are quite often of poor quality. Iron and cement posts aro coming into use but there are objections to them because of cost, weight, difficulty of attaching wire and the crumbling of concreto in alkaline soils. Railroad and telephone companies, using ties and poles, havo the same conditions to contend with. They have reduced expenses a good deal by the use of coal tar creosote preservative, forcing it into tho ties and polo butts by hydraulic pressure in closed tanks Such a plant is not available to the average farmer but he can got much of tho same result by heating tho butts of posts in boiling creosote for one-half to threo or four hours, according to tho species of tho wood, and then lotting the posts cool in tho liquid. Tho heat forces a part of the air out of tho wood and as tho post cools tho air that is left in tho wood contracts and tho partial vacuum thus formed draws tho creosote into tho wood for a one-quarter or one-half inch or more. If this cannot bo done, it will pay to paint or dip tho butt of the post, for even this will afford considerable protection against rotting. JACK FOR LIFTING VEHICLES Handy Device May Be Constructed Out of One-by-Four-lnch Boards Hay Wire Holds Lever. To make a jack for lifting wagons and buggies, take a 24-inch length of 1 by 4 board for a base and nail a 30-inch 1 by 4 upright on each side. Bore half-inch holes through theso Handy Wagon Jack. uprights every 3 inches the full length of both boards. Fit a 30-inch piece of 1 by 4 between them for a lever, with several half-inch holes through it so it can be adjusted to any position, and with grooves in the upper edge. A length of common hay wire will hold the adjustment for heavy wagons, etc. If a stronger jack is needed the 1 by 4's may be replaced by lumber of 2 by 4 dimensions. GREAT BENEFIT IN ROTATION Prevents Diseases and Insect Pests Insects Thrive Only on Certain Kind of Plants. -The successive crops in any rotation should be so selected and arranged that no two upon which the same pest may thrive will be grown in succession. The principles of disease control by means of crop rotation are based upon the fact that certain pests can thrive only on certain kinds of plants. Therefore, when the crops are changed and the food supply thereby cut off, the pests must perish or be greatly reduced in number. Best Ration for Sheep. Timothy hay is a very poor sheet forage. Clover, alfalfa and oats witt some bran form a better ration.
