The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-11-05

There are three views respecting the
origin Of most infectious diseases.
The first Is that they originate from
impalpable poisons. produced from filth
during some of the chemical changes
which its particles undergo in certain
conditions.
A second is that they are due to liv-
ing organisms, mostly microscopic
plants, introduced into the system
through the mouth or lungs, the pro-
duct Of living germs outside of tho
body.
The third is IN part like the second,
but it claims that the living germs are
generated directly, apart from all pa
rent germs, from elementary particles
of filth, during the various processes Of
their decomposition and decomposition.
The last view is held by the advo-
cates-not q large number-of the
sliecry or spontaneous generation"
The first is the old view, and is still
maintained by many strong advocates.
The second isa wholly modern view,
and rests mainly on the discovery of the
parasites by the microscope.
Fifth. however, lies at the basis of
every view, even the second holding
that filth is hot-bed for the rapid
growth and multiplication of the germs,
and that its influence on the human
system is to lower its vitality and thus
make it good soil for their development.
Hence these diseases are now univers-
ally known as filth diseases.
The following are fresh illustrations
Of the connection between disease and
filth. A severe epidemic of diphtheria
recently broke out in the Blind Asylum,
Batavia, New York. An investigation
by the State Board of Health showed
chat the drain, which conducted the
sewage to swamp back of the institu-
tion, had fallen in pieces and was wholly
blocked up by the surrounding earth.
One Of the citizens of Chelsea, we'll
known lawyer, lately died from q very
violent attack of typhoid fever. A child
had recently recovered from the same
disease. This same child had previous
ly had attacks of scarlet fever and
diphtheria. The house was fine one,
and everything that met the eye was
scrupulously neat. But on tearing up
the basement fioor-at the urgent re-
quest of the family physician--there
was found beneath an immense mass of
filth. the sewage-pipe being broken in
two places.-Touth's Companion.

The Hay Crop.

The hay crop in the West is about
made, and it is a good one too. The
great bulk of it has been saved and
put away in good condition, and every
pound of it will be wanted. Not an
animal Of Importance bred on the
farm but will feed on it gratefully all
through the season when grass cannot
be reached, and the West will be call
ed upon to supply hundreds of thou
sands of tons carefully saved and
properly pressed to less fortunate fell
low farmers a thousand miles away.
But few realize the extent to which
"grass is king" taking the crown both
from the boosted cotton king of the
South and the corn king of the North.
The extent to which it is made the life
food Of hundreds of thousands of horses
all over the country, into mutton
and wool from 100000 of sheep,
into beef and milk, butter and cheese
on the ranches. the breeding farms
and the diaries of the entire country,
is simply marvellous, to say nothing of
the food supply in its green form to
our immense hog production.
The first point to be made is to see
that it is put away in good shape and
condition, and that as little as possible
is wasted by exposure or otherwise.
The next is to ascertain how much of
our crop is necessary for our own stock
this season and half of next, and then
to find the best market for what we
consider our surplus. For this latter
we need be in no hurry, hay will keep
and in some parts of the country
where they have made partial failures
will be wanted presently at fair mar
ket prices,
Then we need and must. have a
proper baling press that shall put it up
in such way as that the most tons
may be got into car and travel long
distances at moderate rates, Hay, like
every article produced on the farm, is
a cash article, and will always find a
ready market.

Matrimonial Partnerships.

Piles and convictions and the like they
ought to class together. Indeed it is
better for them to have the same polls

have observed that the happiest unions
as a general thing are those where the
high contracting parties have known
each other for long time, and have
assimilated from their youth in thought
and feeling. When man goes OF to
some watering place and waltzes few
times with charming girl and falls
desperately in love and marries her of
hand, it is a long shoot and a narrow
chance for happiness. Why, we may
live in the same town with people and
not know as much about them as we
ought to. never made any mistake
about my choice of a partner for the
dance of life, but I've thought of it q
thousand times that if Mrs. Arp had
known l loved Goldfish and got up by
daybreak every morning she never
would have had me. 1t was nip and

minutes, only few. But ! have seen
some mighty clever people eat oysters
raw and sleep late in the morning.
But still a man and his wife can har-
monte and compromise a good many
of these things, and it is beautiful
illustration of this to see Mrs. Arp
cooking Goldfish for me and fixing it all
up SO nice with eggs and cream, and it
is touching evidence of my undying
devotion to her to see me wandering
about the house lonely and forlorn
every morning for an hour or two, and
forbidding even the cat to walk heavi,
ly while she sleeps. That Goldfish bus.
mess comes to me honestly from my
fathers side, and my mother put up
with it like a good, considerate wife,
and we children grew up with an idea
that it was good. I've heard of a
young couple who got married and
went off to Augusta on tour, and the
Teller stuck his fork into a Goldfish ball
and took a bite, He choked it down
like a hero, and when his beloved ask
ed him what was the matter, replied

Lights In the Barn.

It is estimated that nine-tenths Of all
fires are caused by carelessness. Now
is the season when the lantern is fire.
ouently used in the barn, and we give
a word Of caution. Never light lamp
or lantern Of any kind in barn.
Smokers may include their pipes and
cigars in the above. The lantern should
be lighted in the house or some out
building where no combustibles are
stored. A lantern which does not burn
well, should never be put in order in
the haymow. There is great tempta-
ton TO strike q match and re-iight an
extinguished lantern, wherever It may
be. II is best to even feel one's s way
out to safe place, than to run any
risks. II the light is not kept in the
hand, it should be hung up. Provide
hooks in the various rooms where the
lights are used. A wire running the
whole length Of the horse stable, at the
rear OF the stalls, and furnished with q
sliding hook, is very convenient for
night work with the horses. Some
farmers are so careless as 10 keep the
lamp oil in the barn, and fill the Ian
terra there while the wick is burning.
Such risks are too great, even II the
buildings are insured. .-Amertcan Agrt'
