V RHEUMATISM. Some of the most valuable discoveries in medicine had their origin in remote coun tries among strange people. Quinine came to us from the Indians of Peru; opium from the barbarous races of Asia, and cod liver oil was given to us by ignorant whal ers who, because it softened leather, thought it would soften joints stiffened by rheumatism. They were right. It only remained for science to work out the idea, and to day cod liver oil is one of the best-known remedies for the treatment of chronic rheuma tism. As early as 1754 cod liver oil was recognized as a cure for rheumatism, and a few years later it was found that the same remedy could be used for the cure of skin diseases due to this com plaint. The first step in the cure of rheumatism is to supply the blood with nourishment and to make up the deficiency in red blood corpuscles. These corpuscles convey ox ygen to the various tissues in the body and play a very im portant part in the process of combustion which is constant ly going on within the body and which is called the " fires of life." Cod liver oil is an excellent fuel for these fires and they burn more brightly when supplied with it. The faster the blood is made rich and plentiful in red corpuscles the sooner the rheumatism is driven from the system. In Scott's Emul sion the full value of cod liver oil is combined with hypophosphit.es of lime and soda, and, being perfectly emulsified, is best suited for the treatment of rheumatism where everything depends upon nourishing the blood quickly and effectually. Scott's Emulsion differs from any other preparation in that it passes into the sys tem without tax on any of the organs with which it comes in contact. By reason of its immediate action it is enabled to make rich blood faster than disease can consume it, hence it is not long before sufficient headway is gained to drive out the trouble and restore the body to a normal condi tion. It is in this way that Scott's Emulsion disposes of rheumatism and rids the body of the lingering symptoms (that so often threaten a return of the disorder. So-called wines, cordials and extracts of cod liver oil are worthless as they do not 'contain the value of the whole cod liver oil and hence can mot furnish the desired bene fits. Scott's Emulsion has 'been the standard cod liver (oil preparation for over twen-'ty-nve years. We'll send you a sample free upon request.

WILSON'S REPOR THE LARGE OPPORTUNITIES OF NATIONAL IRRIGATION The Department of Agriculture Inves tlgates Sheep and Has Remedy- Division of Forestry Now a Bureau Proper Methods of Range Man agement. The great stock ranges of tho Northwest contain approximately one- third of the sheep in the United States, representing a value of more than $40,000,000. The owners of theso sheep suffer an annual loss conserva' tlvely estimated at ono per cent, or $400,000, from poisonous plants. Dur ing tho past year the department has continued its investigation of thl loss and has succeeded In isolaUng poisonous principles from the species of camas and from one of the lupines, the two kinds of plants which, next to loco weeds, cause the greatest per centage of loss in tho Northwest, The antidote for poison cam as announced by tho department in 1900, viz. drenching with a ono per cent solu Men of permanganate of potash and sulphate of aluminum, whllo effective, can be sucessfully applied by one man to only a few sheep. Some remedy was demanded which could be moro quickly applied when a largo number of sheep arc poisoned. Our physio logical test of the active principle of poison camas on rabbits and other small animals, subsequently verified with sheep, showed that conslderahl quantities of the poison passed from the system in tho urine. A scries of tests was then instituted with drugs that are known to stimulate the ac tlon of the kidneys. It has now been demonstrated that a combination diuretln and caffeine is a satisfactory antidote for this poison; and as can be given very rapidly by means of a hypodermic syringe, one man can apply the remedy to several hun dred sheep In a few hours. Studies of Irrigation Laws. The larger problems which tho complete use of the western rivers 1 destined to create and the measure of public control which recent IrrlgR' tlon legislation renders inevitable gives added interest to the depart ment's studies of the legal and oco nomlc phases of irrigation. Tho di vision of the water streams among farms scattered for hundreds of mile: along their courses, so that each acre cultivated shall receive Its just share of the common .water supply, is one of the most complex administrative problems which confronts Western agriculture, and the' establishment of titles to these streams by methods which shall prevent speculative aii propriations of water and the creation of water monopolies Is one of the lm peratlve needs of the Imediate future, The larger opportunities which na tional aid affords should awaken the civic pride of the states benefited in seeing to it that not only In material development, but In their institutions the Irrigation systems of this country rank among the foremost of the world. Bureau of Forestry. On July 1, 190X, tho division of for estry became a bureau. It has there' fore completed its first year under the new form of organization. The results obtained have amply justified the change and the Increased appro prlation which accompanied it. In terest In forestry and a perception of Its possibilities as the means of mak ing productive a great national re- courco havo developed so swiftly In the United States that the discrepan cy between the capacity for public service of this branch of the depart ment of agriculture and Its opportu nltles was never so great as it Is now, During the past year the bureau of forestry has notably increased tho store of knowledge on which all for estry depends, and has made large gain in introducing practical manage' ment of forests, both of public and private ownership. Its field work has engaged 162 men, and has been car ried on in 42 states and territories. Organization of the Bureau. The work of the bureau of forestry is organized along four lines: Forest management, forest investigation. records, and tree planting. Irrigation Investigations. Two causes have operated during the past year to Increase the interest in the department's work for Irrigat ed agriculture. One was the desire of tho arid states for the creation of conditions which will result in the largest and best use of the water sup ply, and the other tho drought which prevailed throughout the middle West in 1901 and in the South during 1901 and the present year. As a result of this Interest, requests for Information and advice have been f;.r moro num erous than ever before, and It is only through the Increased appropriation made by the last congress and the better organization of the work that these demands have been met. The distribution and uco of western rivers require that the Irlgatlon indus try shall be organized, and In order to provide for this It is necessary that there be a better understanding of tho subject than now exists. Tho first need is for the facts. We need to know how much water Is being used, where It is being used, how much water Is required for tho matur ing of crops, how it can be distribut ed with the least loss, and how ap plied to tho best advantage. This Information the department Is secur ing and disseminating through this Investigation, and in doing this It has enlisted in Its service many of the leading Irrigation engineers and scientists of the arid states. Tho ser vices of these men would have In volved a prohibitory expense If It had been necessary to employ them con tinuously, but through co-operative arrangements with the state agricul tural colleges and experiment sta tions and the state engineer's office the scope of both local and natlona investigations has been broadened and made more effective, while the outlay to each of the parties to these arrangements hns been greatly re duced. Range Improvements. The investigations In this branch of work have shown that the depleted western ranges may be brought back to their original productiveness by proper methods of range manage ment. Heretofore this work has been confined to small experimental orono Wo hnvn nnw nrocressed to the point where It becomes necessary r, in.nnnmla with Rtnplmipn In me HC- nn1 ttinnnirement of selected areas nf ranm InnriH Tn rin this It K neCCS- sary that we control the grazing of stock on such areas. To this end I repeat my former recommendation, namely, that action be taken by con gress giving the president authority tn oofiiro Mr the nxnerlmental needs of this department such tracts of public range lands as may do neces sary for tho best interests of the work.
