Excerpt from The Treatment of Hay Fever by Rosin-Weed, Ichthyol and Faradic Electricity: With a Discussion of the Old Theory of Gout and the New Theory of Anaphylaxis Qengland Medical Gazette and in the J onrnal Qof the American Institute of Homoeopathy December, 1916. They were presented galso at the New, York City branch of the §united States Hay Fever Association in July, 1916; at the annual meeting of the dsame Association at Bethlehem, New Hamp shire in August, 1916; and rather Widely p in the public press of New York a (1) Boston in the summer of 1916. As a suggestion to those who may Wish Gto follow the subject of hay fever in its recent interesting developments, chapters by'have been added on the old conception of nut, the new theory of anaphylaxis and (l) treatment by diet, by pollen extracts and by Kb bacterial vaccines.

Alors que les prairies maigres de fauche sont en déclin en Wallonie, les carrières offrent des possibilités de développement de cet habitat encore peu explorées. Des parcelles ont été créées suivant différentes modalités dans deux carrières wallonnes (Hermalle-sous-Huy et Marche-les-Dames, Belgique) dans le cadre du Life in Quarries. Les remblais qui ont été utilisés pour les créations sont des terres de découverture (partie du sol entre la surface et la roche exploitée), des boues de bassins de décantation, des déchets de chaux et des remblais pierreux. Nous avons réalisé un suivi des parcelles créées afin de mettre en lumière quelles possibilités offrent les remblais d’exploitation de carrières actives dans l’optique de création de prairies de fauche. Nous avons réalisé des inventaires phytosociologiques et avons analysé les conditions édaphiques des parcelles créées. Des analyses de la composition taxonomique et fonctionnelle des communautés végétales ainsi que des analyses multivariées comparant les prairies créées avec des prairies de fauche de référence ont été réalisées. Elles ont permis de définir quelles modalités de création montrent le meilleur succès de restauration et quelles sont les différentes stratégies de fonctionnement empruntées par les communautés créées. Il est apparu que les terres de découverture d’origine agricole abritent les conditions requises pour recréer des prairies de fauche lorsqu’un semis de graines composées majoritairement de Poaceae est pratiqué. Si la création de prairies de fauche est moins envisageable sur les autres remblais, ils peuvent toutefois procurer des services écosystémiques intéressants, préserver le patrimoine génétique des espèces de prairies de fauche à une échelle locale ou participer au renforcement de populations d’espèces en danger. While hay meadows are in decline in Wallonia, quarries offer opportunities yet poorly explored for the development of this habitat. Parcels were created following different methods in two Walloon quarries (Hermalle-sous-Huy and Marche-les-Dames, Belgium) as part of the Life in Quarries project. The backfill materials that were used for the creations were overburden (part of the soil between the surface and the rock), sludge from settling ponds, lime wastes and stony materials. We monitored the created parcels in order to highlight the possibilities provided by different backfill materials for the creation of hay meadows. We carried out phytosociological inventories and we analysed the edaphic conditions in the created parcels. We analysed the taxonomic and functional composition of plant communities and we carried out multivariate analyses comparing the created grasslands with reference grasslands. This allowed us to assess which methods of creation show the best restoration success and which functional strategies were used by the created communities. We found that overburden are suitable for the creation of hay meadows when the sowing material is mainly composed with Poaceae. While the creation of hay meadows is less conceivable on the other backfill materials, they can provide valuable ecosystem services, preserve the genetic heritage of hay meadow species on a local scale or help to strengthen endangered species populations.

Tinus Vermeersch reveals his own surreal universe to us, by means of drawings, paintings, sculptures and ceramics. In this uni-verse we often find traces of a human presence, yet it is characterized by a sense of seclusiveness. Both his visual language as well as his chosen materials, remind us of a long-lost time. His technique recalls the drawings and paintings of Jheronimus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel. The origin of the figures who inhabit his paintings and drawings can be found in anthropology and more specifically in the old animistic and shamanic traditions of the indigenous peoples. Tinus Vermeersch calls these figures 'Tegumen', meaning 'cover' or 'shell' in Latin. Tinus Vermeersch distinguishes himself from many other contemporary artists by his affinity for the craftsmanship that is so specific to the traditional media he works with. The hundreds of ceramic tiles, all drawn by hand, prove this craftsmanship. Exhibition: Be-Part, Kortrijk, Belgium (28.07.-06.10.2019).

The book ""Quality and Production of Forage"" is intended to keep readers updatedon the developments occurring in this field. As it is apparent that livestockanimals are important throughout the world because of the meat, milk and eggthey produce, knowledge about the forages available to animals must also beconsidered for increased production, quality and efficiency. This book providesinformation that readers will find considerably invaluable about forage feeds, suchas grass, legumes, and straw. The book is composed of ten papers, focusing on awide range of research activities and topics that feature the following concepts offorage: the effect of conservation method on forage protein value; Microbial thecomposition and mycotoxin content in forage; genetic diversity of forages; timelysowing to maximize yield for both grain and biomass; ensiling treatments onforage quality; the qualitative characteristics of different accessions of new foragespecies; forage policy influencing feed costs; feeding forage on animal health;high-protein tropical forages as alternative sources for poultry; impact of foragesin poultry diet and significance of forages in sustainable poultry productionsystems. This book will be an invaluable reference for students and professionalsin agricultural science and grassland and animal husbandry researches.
