Disease Germs in Soils.

Ii has been observed in France that
in localities where animals are inferred
which have died of charbon, the germs
of this infectious malady persist in the
soils for many years, and that, especial
Iy when cereal crops are cultivated
upon such soils, there Is great danger
of contaminating healthy cattle with
the same disease. In one case 1t was
observed that many sheep which We're
nastured in a field in which two years
before, a single animal which had died
of charbon was buried were infected
with the disease and died. In Ike
manner. il is entirely probable that the
germs of hog cholera may be preserved
in the soil for many years, TO hnally
again be brought into an activity when
may prove most disastrous tor the own
ers of swine Every effort should be
made by agronomists to avoid injecting
the soil by carcasses which are dead
from any zymotic disease.
Cremation is the only safe method o1
disposing of such infected carcasses'
The Investigations of scientists have
shown that there are many diseases OF
an infectious nature due to these germs
and that these germs may preserve
their vitality in the soil. Among Others
may be mentioned yellow fever and te
tanus, and the microbe producing the
bubonic plague, which retains its vital
ity in the soil, and thus excapes entire
eradication.
For the reasons given above, the
agronomist, who also has at heart the
health and welfare of man and beast
can hardly look with favor upon any OF
the plans which have been proposed fol
the use of sewage from large cities fol
irrigation purposes. There is scarcely
time in any large city when some in
| fectious disease due to the activity O
germs does not exsist, and the sewage
| is liable at all times to be contaminated
