thirteen dollars month; the more espe-
cially when two-thirds Of this pittance is con-
fiscated during the first year to pay for his out
fit. Why the soldier should be made to pay for
his outfit Is indeed hard to understand, for after
he has paid for it he Is not permitted to regard
or use it as his own property. But hard, mo-
notOnous, on-military work, with next to no
pay, meagre rations, and hard discipline,
really cause the life of the soldier to resemble
that of the convict too closely.
The private soldier, in TACT seems at present
to be little other than convict, plus the chance
of being killed. That he should desert under
such circumstances cannot be considered re-
markable. What is surprising is that there
should be any enlistments, and the regulations
appear specially designed to exclude from the
army all who would be at all likely to do it
credit The first and most necessary step
toward the prevention of desertion must be
such change in the condition of the soldier as
will render army life at least tolerabe to him.
AS the case stands, however, desertiOn would
seem to be much more natural than enlistment.

DESEETLON TROM TIE ARlur

There seems to be a conflict Of opinion
among army authorities as to the causes of de
scrtioGS. General Sherman says il hl, become
80 frequent because the the men are put to do
nOn-mlitaTy work, and are not paid for IT,
General Sheridan, on the other hand thinks
that many young men in the Eastern and
Middle States wanting to better their con
edition by getting ont to the frontier. and not
"having money enough to reach this FL
Dorado, enlist in the array for the purpose of
getting there at the Government, expense.
And them" lac says, to make il more easy for
"thoir conscience, in deserving their flag they
"conplain Of the ratlons the work they have to
"dO, and then desert, thus accomplishing the
object they had i'm view when they enlisted
We do not think this explanation i very
plausible OF probable. We doubt seriously
whether Young men who have not the means 70
go West make a practice of existing in the
army in order to obtain transportation. The
process would be complicated and the mean,
too ont of proportion TO the end 1t would re-
semblc the method of Lambs Chinaman, who
burned his house down every time he wanted
to roast pig. The man who Cnlists take, too
many chances, incurS too many dangers. sub
iects himself to too rigid discipline, To render
it likely that he does 50 at all generally for the
mere sake of transportation. Besides, he can
not know beforehand that he will be sent where
lac wants to GO Altogether, therefore, II is by
far the most probable that the other cxpana-
ton is the right one that desertion is largely
caused by the nature of the work imposed
upon the soldier, If a young fellow cnlists
because he thinks soldiers life an easy one,
or because he wants to fight Indians he is not
likely to be welded to the army by being COM
PEELED to toll as a mechanic or day laborer 1t

reasonable theory to account for the infection Of

reasonable theory to account for the infection Of
milk
Three cases Of typhoid fever In O farmhouse
induced this physician to search for the source
of the infection. He found 1t in well situ-
ated in the barnyard where the COWS were
watered. The water of this well was tainted.
The farmer becoming aware of the fact at
tempted to sink the well, after thoroughly clean
ing it, but the workmen In pumping it out soon
found that there was stream Of foul water
trickling in at the bottom. This leakage from
the manure of the barnyard was so offensive
when drawn to the surface in unadulterated
form that the wOrkmen were sickened and
forced to stop pumping. The milk Of the
COWS which are watered regularly at the
trough connecting with this well has been sent
every day to New-York.
The physician who disclosed these facts
states that there are scores of these barnyard
wells in Orange County, whence New-Yoik
largely draws its milk supply. He describes
what is known as "mOdel dairy farm" in
which every precaution to obtain pure milk is
taken save that of watering the cattle with pure
water. What would the customers Of this
"model" establishment say if they were told
that the milk, for which they are charged
" fancy price, comes from COWS that are regIl-
larry watered with the ooze of liquid filth 7
When this physician says there are scores of
barnyard wells in Orange County, he does not
make large demand upon the credulity of the
public. 1t is common practice, not only in
that county, but in New England and in agri-
cultural districts generally, to water cattle from
wells situated on the edges of barnyards. The
well with the outlying trough usually deter
mines the position of the barnyard, and manure
heaps naturally cucumber the surface Of the
ground drained for the water supply. Ordi-
nariy, these accnmulatiOns of filth will not affect
the quality of the water but when there are
large droves of cows to be MIXED, as is the case
at the dairy farms near New-YOrk, there is
strong probability that water exposed to inGl-
trations from barnyard refuse will become in
fectcd with the elements Of disease.

day contains, will como to the conclusion that
New. York Is in danger of spending too little on
her schools The danger is that tho $l,OOO,OOO
which has been Professionally appropriated for
1884 will not be spent to the best advantage.
Wisely applied that immense sum is sufficient
to put every school-house now occupied in good
sanitary condition; to erect all the new build
ings of which there is urgent need; to pay all
necessary working expenses; to compensate
reasonably every teacher who Is doing genuine
and fruitful work to keep the system of pub
lie instruction here on high plane of efficiency
and excellence. Whether it is enough also to
mt into effect every pet notion of every ex-
travagant member of the Board of Education,
and to provide for all our public institutions
on the same scale which private munificence
has made possible in some of our great colleges
is quite another matter. And compared with
the rest, q matter of little consequence.

NOR WINK MAY BE INFECTED.

An Orange County physician makes on an
other page of this issue n valuable. albeit start
ling, contribution TO n discussion already
opened in these columns. We have directed
attention TO outbreaks of typhoid and scarlet
fever in st. Pnncras, London, Dundee and
Port Jcrvis rs furnishing conclusive evidence
that the germs of disease are carried from dali
Iics and milkmcn's families to the households Of
consumers by means of milk. In our Judgment
this is one of the most important subjects with
which sanitary authorities have to deal. That
milk is disease carrier and the means by
which contagious diseases are communicated
has been practically demonstrated. Milk that
is infected with the germs will breed disease
and death. That is It conclusion which cannot
be seriously questioned. II becomes, therefore,
a matter of vital Importance to the community
to ascertain how milk Is infected with the
germs of disease In dairy farms from which
cities draw their daily supplies. The physician
who sends to THE TRIBUNE single mcmoran-
dun from his country practice certainly ex-
plains the origin of typhoid fever in one dairy
mans family, and inferentially suggests
