THE BARD KNEW MEDICINE.
It May Be That Shakespeare's Sonin-law
Coached Him.
How Shakespeare acquired so
profound a knowledge of medicine
is explained in a new light by Dr.
Walter Lindley in the Medical Record,
in which he gives much credit
Tk_ II..II Clnl-Aonnnra'a I
IU JL/i. t/UIlII llillly O i ?tl i\tc | ?c?ti v o
son-in-law. The physician had a
"large and gainful practice." He
attended the families of Lord Say,
the Earl of Shrewsbury and the
Earl of Northampton and was held
In high regard by many prominent
and aristocratic persons.
A deeply learned man and given
to original research, he made a
mark in the medical profession.
Shakespeare's daughter, Susana,
married Dr. Hall in 1 GOT, she being
twenty-four and he thirty-one. As
the dramatist was only twelve years
older than his son-in-law, they were
on close terms and often discussed
medicine and philosophy. While
Shakespeare had often spoken in
cynical fashion of physicians, it has
been discovered that after one mar
ried into the family he took the
profession most seriously.
Dr. Lindley, who has made an
extensive study recently of Shakespeare's
work from a medical point
of view, lavs stress on what he con- j
siders the modernity of the medical '
lore of the playwright. The alienist,
he says, can find nowhere a more '
agonizing appeal for help than the
lines from "Macbeth," beginning, J
"Canst thou minister to a mind dis- i
eased ?"
Again, Shakespeare forestalls
Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy,
and his motto, "Similia
Similibus Curantur," in the lines
from "Borneo and Juliet," where he ;
makes Benvolio say:
Take thou some new infection to the eye, I
And the rank poison of the old will die.
A passage especially showing the '
influence of Dr. Hall upon the poet i
is ouoted bv Dr. Lindlev from >
' 1 f V
"Pericles," where the physician,
Cerimon, opens the chest containing
the body of Thasia and attempts
to bring her back to life.
The writer gives much evidence ,
to show that Dr. Hall was a man of
such deep learning and culture and
social standing that his influence
upon the life and work of a man of
so comprehensive a mind as Shakepeare
must have been a strong one.
Thackeray on the Hustings.
Talking of Thackeray and his efforts
to get into parliament, Grant
Duff in his diary under the year ;
1875 notes the predicament of the ,
novelist when he faced the electors.
"He (J. R. Green) gave me the
most remarkable account of canvassing
Oxford with Thackeray, whose
i- t ?1.1: _ ??u:..,.
warn 01 power oi puuxie ?pcu&.xug
seems to have been perfectly extraordinary.
On the hustings he utterly
broke down, and Green heard
him say to himself, 'If I could only
go into the mayor's parlor for five
minutes I could write this out quite
well'"
The High See*.
High seas means the open sea or
ocean. The claims of various nations
to exclusive rights and superiority
over extensive tracts of the
ocean highway have been settled
after much controversy by a general
international law. The principle
now accepted is that the jurisdiction
of maritime states extends
only for three miles off their own
coasts, the remainder of the seas
being high seas, accessible on equal
terms to all nations. Inland seas
and estuaries, of course, are excepted.

cities, and Byzantium was of course i
standing where Constantinople is j
today, at the tip of Europe on the j
western side of the Bosporus, in |
Thrace. On the eastern side of the
Bosporus was Chalccdon. South of
the Dardanelles the citv of Illium
or Troy, marked on the maps of the
time of the Persian empire, had disappeared
and was not on maps of
the times of the Caesars.
Natural Viaduct.
In Argentina there is a natural
bridge that is one of the most wonderful
in the world. It spans the

Inca bridge. But it is the work of
nature, and not, as was popularly
supposed, of the Incas. The road
on which it occurs was probably a
colonial highway made by the Peruvian
Incas, who took advantage of
the phenomenon by leading their
Toad over this natural viaduct.
Origin of an Insult.
The expression "blackguard" originally
indicated the scullions, kitchen
boys and potwashers who brought
tip the rear when a great man's
household was moved from place to
place. As these persons were by no
means choice in their language or
elegant in their deportment the
word was soon applied to those who
in speech of action resembled them.

FFFMNfi MIRY HOWS
FOR MFLK AND PROFIT
Cow Should Be Fed Sufficient
Balanced Ration to Produce
Maximum Amount of Milk
Clemsoc. College, S. C.
Lrberal feeding of dairy cows is necessary
for profitable production. Co we
are feed for two purposes; body maintenance
and milk production. A great
many farmers In South Carolina keep
cows which are fed only sufficient
feed to enable them to perform their
own functions, such as heating the
body, pumping the blood, digesting the
feed and moving about. Cows fed only
such "maintenance rations" are necessarily
money losers or 'boarders."
The cow can produce milk without loss
of body weight only after she has been
fed a sufficient amount to maintain
her body functions, and a surplus
from which to manufacture the milk.
The maintenance ration is a fixed
charge, and the more feed a cow can
consume above that required for maintenance,
the greater the amount of feed
available for milk production.
Prom the standpoint of eoonomical
production, one can afford to give a
cow all the feed she will consume
without gaining in weight, and nd
more. A good cow will generally lose
in weight in the early part of the lactation
period and gain in the latter
part. Such cows should be fed liberally
with the assurance that they
will pay for the extra feed during the
next lactation period.
The most common mistake made in
this state is that of not feeding the
cows in summer when on pasture.
Even with the very best pasture a
cow cannot give her maximum production
on pasture alone. Cows giving 20
pounds or more of milk should have at
least 3 pounds of grain feed even when
on the best pastures. When pasture
is poor and flies are bad the cows will
return a profit 'on more grain feed than
the above, and should receive it. The
best dairymen in the state are beginning
to realize the value of summer
silage, and are building silos of small
diameter for summer feeding. When
the grass is short and flies worry the
cows so that they cannot feed as they
should on grass, a silo for summer
feeding is good insurance. If it is
found unnecessary to use the silo during
the summer, it can be sealed up
and the silage fed the following winter.
The best roughage feeds to be fed
with silage in this state are alfalfa,
crimson clover, vetch, cowpea hay and
soy bean hay. All of the above feeds
are legumes, avid contain a high percentage
of protein, a very necessary
element in milk production.
Cotonseed meal, peanut meal, wheat
bran and corn meal are the most common
grain feeds used in the South. Of
these, the value of wheat bran used
with cottonseed meal is probably the
least appreciated. This is a bulky
feed, has a laxative effect (the opposite
of the cotton seed meal), and contain*
lime, potash and phosphorous which
go to build up the cow's body. None
of the above grain feeds should be fed
alone. They should be mixed in order
to get a balanced ration. Cows should
receive 1 pound of the grain mixture
to 3 pounds of milk produced dally, or
approximately 3 pounds of grain feed
to a gallon of milk. This, with all the
good roughage they will consume will
give a cow sufficient feed nutrients
for maximum economic production.

GROW GOOD STRAWBERRIES
?
Portion of Every Home Garden Shouli
Be Devoted to Strawberries to
Supply Freeh Fruit for Table.
Clemson College, S. C.
A portion of every home gardei
should be devoted to strawberies. The;
' are easy to grow, do well on practical
ly every kind of soil, and a very smal
area is sufficient to supply the family
By planting varieties that ripen ii
succession, fresh fruit may be hai
from early spring until late in th
summer. In the early fall, until th
first of November, is the best time t
set the plants. Delighting in coo
weather, if set at this time they wil
become well established by spring, am
will be able to resist droughts whicl
often occur at this season.
In selecting plants for the new bed
only the strongest of the presen
j year's runners should be used. Th
! roots of new plants are always whitf
which distinguishes them from olde
plants whose roots are always black
Previous to planting, remove a pot
tion of the leaf surface to .lessen evai
oration, and shear the roots to abou
one-half if they are very long. A com
mon mistake in planting is to scoo1
out a shallow hole and thrust th
plant into it, leaving the roots
crumpled mass with their tips nea
j the surface where they quickly dr;
I out. To avoid this .make a deep hoi
with a spade or long-pointed trowel, ir
; eert the roots and spread them out fa;
shape, allowing them to hang dow;
i full length. In this way, every par
j of the root system will be in direc
contact with the soil and kept cor
stantly moist. Place the crown. o
bud, just at the surface. If it Is belov
j the level of the ground, after the soi
I settles it is smothered; if niu vh above
the roots will dry out.
Of the various methods of trainini
strawberry runners, the hill system i;
; without doubt the most satisfactor;
; for he home grower. The plants an
1 placed 14 to IS inches apart in th<
row. and all runners kept removed, ej
cept a few trained with the row U
' produce new plants. Not quite so man;
berries will be produced as with somi
of the matted row systems, but the;
will be much larger and of superio
quality. It is well during the first sea
j son to pinch off all the fruiting stem:
as they appear in order that the en
tire strength of the plant may be di

j crown and leaves. Dv the end of th<
j season, the plants should have thlcl
broad crowns, each holding the rudi
j ments of several stalks of berries an<
j containing plaint food in sufficien
; quantity to produce a maximum cro]
the second season.
A strawberry bed may bear fron
three to five crops if given careful at
tention, but it is better to allow thi
; plants to fruit only twice. As th<
j bed gets older, the plants become
I weakened and often diseased. For th<
I very highest grade berries, the plant:
j should be allowed to fruit only onc<
and a new bed set annually.
If you had a farm so poor, and w
candy, and so run down that It wouldn'
produce a hundred pounds of cottoi
' to the acre, what would you do wltl
I it? Plant cover crops.
