The round silo is now the popular kind 
with dairymen; it is more convenient, easily 
put up and less expensive than others.

We call attention in this article to one 
of the many styles of Champion hay 
presses manufactured by the Famous Mfg. 
Co., of Chicago. This machine is what is 
known to the hay press world as the 
Champion steel belt press, with side and 
end moving wall condensing hopper. A 
card to the Famous Mfg. Co., Chicago, Ill., 
will bring their latest catalogue, with full 
description of their entire line. 
We call the attention of our readers to 
St. Mary’s Academy, Notre Dame, Ind. 
We do not need to expatiate upon the 
scholastic advantages of St. Mary’s, for 
the catalogue of the school shows the 
scope of work included in its curriculum, 
which is of the same high standard as that 
of Vassal- and Bryn Mawr, and is carried 
out faithfully in the class rooms. Cata¬ 
logue will be mailed to all applicants. 
We are in receipt of an encyclopedia is¬ 
sued by the American Well Works, Au¬ 
rora, ill. 'I'his is a book of 176 pages. It 
contains illustrations, descriptions and 
prices of machinery demonstrated to be 
the most practical, including well sinking, 
prospecting, pumping, iriigaiing and hoist¬ 
ing machinery; water hoists. Chapman’s air 
water-lifting systems, gasoline, gas and 
steam engines, boilers, etc., all of their 
own manufacture. It is a valuable work 
for anyone intending to engage in any way 
in the well-drilling business. 
A New Cure for Hay Fever. 
Dr. 11. 11. Curtis, of New York, gives in 
the Medical Record some interesting facts 
about a proposed new cure for hay fever. 
Several years ago he found a case of a 
woman who was unable to endure the per¬ 
fume of llowers. A bunch of llowers 
brought into her room would drive her into 
a severe attack of hay fever. An experi¬ 
ment was made to see whether the watery 
extract of certain flowers and their pollen 
would not remedy the trouble. The steril¬ 
ized Infusion of roses was lirst given, both 
internally and hypodermically. After two 
w'eeks it was found that the patient could 
tolerate the rose in her bedroom, and the 
use of the extract of violet and lily-of-the- 
valley was also successful. After be- 
ooming immune to these three flowers, 
it w.as found that she could endure the 
perfume of others. A number of similar 
c.ases suggested a cure for ordinary hay 
fever which is usually caused by the pol¬ 
len of rag.weed. An extract of the flowers 
and pollen of ragweed w'as made, and last 
year it w'as tested by about 100 allllcted 
persons. Dr. Curtis concludes that about 
liO per cent of such cases may be cured by 
use of the extract. Those who suffer with 
this distressing and painful disease will be 
glad to know of anything promising relief. 
Those who suffer from ragweed on our 
farms will be glad to learn that the pest 
really possesses virtues. We have ob¬ 
served how hogs and sheep, when closely 
confined, are eager for this weed.
