The Baltimore Sun points out that
our good times have in the past al
ways been times when foreigners were
investing money freely among us. II
was not altogether or chiefly our own
savings that made business brisk. I,
was the continued influx of foreign
gold. Now we are unfortunately iso-
lated by the threat Of the silver basis,

In 1905 Pitt called a meeting Of the
British militia colonies to consider his
additional force bill. Some objected
to the clause which called them out
under all circumstances, and argued
that this should not be except in case
of actual invasion" "Then, said Pitt,
''it would be too late" Presently they
came to another clause, when the same
directors insisted on the militia not
being liable to be sent out of the ''king
dom. Except, suppose" said Pitt,
with cruel sarcasm, ''in case of actual
invasion. Chicago Chronicle.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
FARM SANITATION.
4 Factor In Farming That 10 Tso Often
Sadly Neglected a-e {.

q FACTOR In Farming That 10 Too Often
Sadly Neglected 5-e {.
A few months ago the writer was
visiting one of the finest farm In Tex
as, and was surprised to see the farm
hands, and even the proprietor, drink
heartily from a large underground
,cistern in the barn yard. and within
twenty feet Of a huge pile of manure,
the output of nearly one hundred
horses and mules for several months.
is it any wonder that these were three
cases of enteric fever at one time
among the farm hands? Is it not
rather wonder that they were not
all down with the disease? Similar
indiscretions are rather the rule than
exceptions thereto on a large major
ity OF farms In this country. 1t is in
deed rare that any contrivance is
seen which is plainly intended to
promote sanitation, which is SUBJ
ject apparently ignored by farmers, to
their suffering and cost. The drink
ing water, being the vehicle of infec-
ton for most of our worst diseases,
should receive careful attention. Deep
wells, II intelligently protected
against contamination from seepage,
are probably the safest source of sup
ply for drinking water. OF these
bored ones are better than the wide
mouthed wells, for the reason that
they collect less filth, and are easily
cleaned out with an ordinary sand
pump. "A well, whether large or
small. can not be kept too carefully
closed. Cistern water, contrary to
general opinion, is usually far from
the necessary, degree of purity, and
should rarely be used for drinking un-
less previously filtered. Stone or brick
and cement have been proven to be no
safeguard against contamination by
disease germs. Above-ground cisterns
are far safer and much more easily
cleaned, but should always be tightly
closed against atmospheric drift. Care
lessly-kept cisterns are actually dam
gerous. as an inspection of the roofs
and cutters from which the water is
caught will show. Usually. after pro-
longed dry weather, the cutters will
be found more than half filed with
dust from the roads or streets, vegeta-
BILE debris of every sort, dead worms
and insects, droppings of birds and
every manner of filth that rides on
the wings of the wind, or is carried
by birds and insects. Can 1t be pre-
sumed that rain water filtered through
loose beds like this will promote health
and comfort?
Among the sanitary measures uni
formly neglected by farmers are de-
cent arrangements for bodily comfort.
The average privy is standing re-
proach-worse than that, it is con-
slant danger and perpetual nuisance.
All this could be avoided by little
cheap contrivance, such as a zinc
lined box under the seat. with rum
ners like q sled, and a ring or hook to
