Ice Ponds.

For long time it was supposed that water
IN freezing was freed from all impurities
Modern science has shown that this is an
error In the admirable work OF Professor
Cooley, Of Nassar College, it is stated that a
number OF salts will combine with ice, when
freezing at II low temperature, forming q
class of compounds called Cryohydrates.
Prof Geo. l., Smith, of the Normal School
in Baltimore, in recent letter to the Board
OF Health of Olney District gives the result of
recent Investigations upon the subject made
at their request. He says there is no doubt
but that water in freezing does retain some
impurities, and melting ice nearly always
shows sediment which was entangled with
it while freezing.
Dr. Leidy, the distinguished naturalist of
Philadelphia, had placed in his hands for
examination some water obtained from melt
ing ice that had been used in cooling drink
ing water 1t was found to contain living
worms and other impurities.
The writer OF this article has noticed that
in water cooled by ice taken from a shallow
pond They are very small and can only
be seen by holding the glass to the light.
Prof Smith says it has been proved that
certain forms OF life are not killed by low
temperature Bacteria have been frozen to
a temperature as low as 1913 degrees below
zero without having their vitality destroyed
1t is believed by many eminent thinkers
that cholera and some diseases owe their
origin and diffusion to minute germs con-
tanned in water, especially of rivers and
ponds, and that the disease is communicable
through impure water
Ponds which are contaminated by sewer
age or the washngs from MANFRED lands
abound in living organisms. At a seaside
hotel m tho tln Mir bar Of
deaths occurred and it was ascertaned that
no sickness was found OF that character ex I.
cepting where ice from certain pond had
been used This pond the summer previous
had received the drainage from house
where there were sickness and death from
typhoid fever
What is the practical lesson to be drawn
from the foregoing? II is that we must be
extremely careful, not only to have our
drinking water pure, but that we must pay
great attention to securing II supply of pure
ice. Those who have access to such run
ming and deep waters as the Potomac, Rock
Creek and other streams need have no fear,
but those who obtain their supply from
ponds should use every precaution. The
best arrangement for Il pond is TO have it by
the side OF flowing stream, the water Of
which is pure. The water should not be let
in until cold weather, and should be turned
OIL as soon rs the supply is obtained. The
bottom of the pond should be firm and hard,
and where practicable, set in grass There
will then b. hut little danger from impuri-
ties in the Ice or from malaria IN the hot
months
This subject is one Of such Importance
that 1t was believed Il statement Of the facts
would be of interest to the citizens of the
whole county.

Crop RepOrt.-The November crop re-
port Of the Department Of Agriculture has
been issued 1t shows that the average corn
yield in Maryland exceeds that OF any other
State south OF Mason and Dixon's line. The
total product of corn for the year is esti-
mated as above 1,800,000,000 bushels, an
average rate of little more than 26 bushels
TO the acre. The greatest yield was in Ne
braska-38.5. The average in Maryland was
% bushels, in Tennessee 20, in Virginia 49,.
The average in New York was 80 and in
Pennsylvania 81. The dry season, with late
frosts, has developed high quality in corn
that was properly cultivated. There is little
loss from soft corn cut down by early frosts.
The crop Of potatoes is not equal in guam
tity to that of last year, yet medium yield,
approaching 80 bushels per acre, has been
grown. The aggregate quantity will evil
IDENTITY not vary greatly from l90,O0OOOO
bushels. The following is the report from
Maryland Hartford, crop shortened by
drought; Somerset, late crop almost moth
ing; Worcester, late crop almost worthless !;
Montgomery, not rotting, but small on nc.
count Of drought; scab very prevalent ;
Queen Anne, only raised for family use.
In reference to the new wheat crop the
report says: In all the wheat growing
States along the Atlantic AMI Gull cos t,
from Pennsylvania to Texas, prolong-l dry
weather has retarded the termination aud
growth of the newly sown wheat, AMI in
many cases has delayed or prevented sow
a.. ing or even rendered ii impossible 10 p Tough
the land 1t is in Maryland, Virginia, the
Caroinas and Georgia that the drought has
been most severe, and its effects in prevent
ing the sowing Of wheat or the growth OF
that which has been sown have been more
general.
