Spurtunburg Doctor Has Tested Moth* | od to Secure Recovery. I Spartanburg, Dec 6.?-In a paper which wag read before the Fourth Dis trict Medical society recently. Dr. A. D. Cudd, medical director of the Good Samaritan hospital of this city, told of a new method of treating pellagra and of apparent cures that had fol lowed Its use. Pricflv described, the treatment con sists of an operation in which the end of the vermiform appendix is removed following which antiseptic solution was Injected throuah the appendix into the colon or lower end of the large intestine. Aside from the value of the treat ment as aopiied to pellagra. I>r. Cudd's discovery is regarded Interesting as Indicating a use for the appendix con cerning the use or needfulness of which the human system surgeons I have been divided in opinion. In Dr. Cudd's opinion, und theory' j that the colon is a veritable cess pool I in which disease breeding germs accu I initiate and that the appendix Is so ar ranged that the surgeon might easily establish a natural tunnel thr.ntvh the ;<bdominal wall through whh h to car ry bis antiseptic solution and destroy the germs. Otherwise it would be dif ficult to attack the germs so securely entrenched. lie said that at a previous meeting of the socletv he bad descrlnod 'on- cases of pellagra In which he bad followed the new method of treatment. His llrsl operation was performed on May 20. but that he was encouraged by the ad vice and assistance of ?ither physi cians, The patient, n young woman. ! .yas apparently well after th" treat menl bad been continued for one month She left the hospital against the advice of physicians attending In two clii, i cases : nu ked improve ments or apparent recovery bad been no'od. The fourth cave was one where the patb-nt was gutf:>rii!f , en; a ?.ery se'.eie case oi pellagra and died an the fourth day after the treatment had been commenced. In till cases there was a family history showing the ex istence of tuberculosis. In concluding his paper. Dr. Cudd stated that he believed the pellugra germ would be found in the same eins* with that of tuberculosis and that ti.1? colon would be found to be its ino*' frequent habitant. He added that he believed irrigation was the best treatment known at present but did not think that irrigation had been therapeutlcally perfected. All Around tha Farm. It Is claimed by those who have trained many horses that, taking tlx. colt when training first begins, they can be trained to walk over four miles an hour. The walking gait is the most important one to the farm and road horse. The mistake with many In training young horses is that they uro too soou put to trotting, which is a gait they more readily learn than fast walking. If the land Is to be plowed twice be j fore planting in order to make it Ihor ] OUghly tine, it will be well to mil it be J foro tho second plowing in order to pack the surface somewhat and make the earth turn better without clogging i Oie moldboard. The roller Is also use I ful in breaking clods and in packing the surface to prevent excessive cvupo ration in dry weather. 1 In order to gel hens in prime con dition to produce fertile eggs yen are ! required to follow as closely after na ture's plan as possible.

A heifer should he milked as long nx possible during her first period 0f lac tation even if she does net give much milk. When allowed to dry up at six months she will go dry every time at the same period when a cow. Heifers are very susceptible to education in this respect.

Once Raised For Princes Only, Now the World's Food. Wheat Is the feed of prlnees and peasants. It Is the food of the world. It was known to bo the best food for fifty centuries, but it did not until thirty or forty years ngo become uni versal. Kvery community ate all It rals.nl. There was none to sell. It was so previous that only kings and the nobilities could afford it. It was sowed by peasants, who reaped it with a siekle by hand. Tor 5.000 years no hotter plan was coucelved than the siekle and the scythe. Then catnc the reaper, an invention by Cy rus II. McCormick, of Scotch-Irish de scent. Thon the world began eating white broad. This now machine, the reaper, when It was full grown into the self binder was equal to forty sickles. With one man to drive it, it could cut atal bind enough wheat in one season to feed 400 persons. In its most highly de veloped form, the combined harvester and thrasher, it ins become so gtgun tic a niachlno that thirty-two horses uro required to haul it. This leviathan cuts a fifty foot road 'way through the grain, thrashes it and bags it at the rate of one bag every half minute. And the total world production of reapers of every sort?self binders, mowers, headers, corn binders, etc. ?Is probably as many as 1,500,000 a year, two-thirds of them being made in the United States. Because of this harvest big ma chinery the wheat crop of the world Is now nearly twice what it was In 1S70. The American crop has multi plied six and a half times in fifty years. Western Canada. Australia, j Siberia and Argentine have become i wheat producers. The cost of growing one bushel In America with machinery and high wages is now about half a dollar, which is less than the cost in Europe and as low as the cost in India, where laborers can be hired for a few pen nies a day. With a siekle the time cost of a bushel of wheat was throe hours. With a self binder It Is now ten minutes. Then came the steamboat and the railroad that carried the grain. At the outset it was shipped in bags. Then uotne railway genius Invented the grain car. which holds as much as twenty or twenty-five wagon loads, and today one of the ordinary moving pictures of an American railroad is a sixty ear train traveling eastward with enough wheat In Its rolling bins to give bread to a city of 10.000 people for a year. The Siberian railway, which Is the longest straight line of steel In the world, was built largely as a wheat Conveyor. So were the railways of western Canada. Argentina and India. It Is cheaper to carry wheat from one country to another than from the barn to the nearest town. The average distance that an American farmer has* to haul his grain Is nine and a half miles, and the average cost of haulug? is 0 cents for a hundred pounds. Thus It has actually become true that to carry wheat ten miles by wagon costs more than 2.300 miles by steamship. ' Such is the tense efficiency of our wheat carrier system that a bushel of grain can now be picked lip in Mis SOlirl and sent to the cotton spinners of England for a dime. First Feeding of Chicks.

Cooked meat cut up very line is safer and perhaps just as good, hut it is costly. However, cost should be little considered in feeding chicks for the first few weeks, as a foundation can be then secured well worth many times its cost. Feed your poultry i eg ularly.
