Fur farms are reported from 25 states where foxes, skunks, minks, opossums, martens, muskrats, squirrels and beav ers are raised. It is estimated that 500 ranchers are raising silver foxes in the United States, that they have between 12,000 and 15,000 foxes in captivity, and that the value of the Investment is about $ 8 , 000 , 000 . The discovery of the fact that mar tens breed the last of July and in Au gust has solved the problem which has heretofore prevented the successful rearing of these animals in captivity and has opened up an Important field to the fur farmer. Too Much for thh Hawk. When a hawk swooped down on a barnyard at Salmon Arm, B. C., where in were a small tom cat and fox ter rier, the eat sprang, landed on the bird’s back and brought it to earth partly disabling it. The terrier then took a hand in the melee and both dog and cat went for the hawk, which put up a good fight. When it attacked the dog the cat would Jump on it and pull it off. After a bit the cat seemed to resent the dog’s' interference and turned on him. While they were fight ing it out a farmer killed the hawk with a stick. Waste sulphite liquid that now pours from paper mills into rivers will be utilized in manufacturing alcohol and fuel by means of a new chemical process recently discovered and thor oughly tested by chemical engineers. This announcement, considered one of the most Important in years in the paper Industry, will be made before the cellulose division of the American Chemical society by Prof. R. H. McKee, head of the chemical department of Columbia university, wh b was asso ciated with Dr. Max Kahn, New York, In the discovery and preparation of lntarvin, one of the two recently dis covered substances that check diabetes. “ At present, for every cord of wood used in the paper mills the manufac turer obtains 1,000 pounds o f pulp and 1,000 gallons of waste sulphite liquor, which flows into the rivers adjoining the plants, causing death of fish, dis agreeable odors and other Ineonven'- iences so great that stringent laws have been passed in some states, and were they rigidly enforced, mills would have to close down,” declared Doctor McKee. “ Under the . new process this waste liquor will be fermented and a good grade of commercial alcohol obtained. Then after the alcohol has been dis tilled off, the residual material will be evaporated and may be used as fuel.”—Milwaukee Journal. Sty? (Btyrtgtmag fttorg ßP .

Cut of an approximate total of 445 medical schools In the world, the United States predominates with 82 schools, according to a list prepared by the Rockefeller Foundation. Next come the British isles with 43, fol lowed by FTance with 32, Russia with 28, Germany with 25, China with 24, Italy with 22, Japan with 20, India with 16, Spain with 11, Mexico with 11, Brazil with 10, Canada with 0, Netherlands with 8, Poland with 5, Switzerland with 5 and Belgium with 5. Fifty-four other countries support from one to four medical schools each. Not only do standards differ greatly between countries, but sven within na tional areas, notably in the United States, medical schools are of dis tinctly different grades as measured by personnel, equipment, resources and ideals. In spite o f great variation in quality, however, all these centers of teaching are more or less directly dom. Inated by the aims and methods of modern medicine. It is one aim of the Rockefeller Foundation, says the re port, to hasten the development of in ternational co-operation in medical education, by all available means. New Sugar Beet Digger. It is said that a machine for top ping and digging sugar beets prom ises to eliminate much of the back breaking work of harvesting. The apparatus resembles a potato digger in general outline, but in front of the lifts that remove the roots from the ground is a revolving disk twenty inches in diameter, so adjusted by a spring and roller that It measures the cutting distance from the top of the beet Instead o f from the ground. Im mediately behind the disk are two lifts that remove the beets from the ground and deliver them to an end less chain elevator that frees them o f dirt and dumps them out behind the machine. As the top and head of the sugar beet contains an acid that counteracts tha sugar In the rest of the root, a harvester must measure the beets and cut them at the right place. Old Iron Mines Closed. ' The oldest iron mines in the United States, located at Sterlington, N. X., have been closed. They have been in continuous operation since 1700, and ore taken from them was used to forge the famous chain that was stretched across the Hudson river in the Revolutionary war to prevent the British ships from ascending the stream. Iron for every war in which the United States ever fought has come from these mines. Does be advertise?
