Death from Handling Fertilizers.

In view of the general use of bone
dust as a fertilizer by farmers and
gardeners, the following case of an
thrax is of interest. Anthrax is very
fatal disease due to a special bacte-
rum. 1t usually occurs in animals,
chiefly cattle; but sometimes the germ
gains entrance into the human body.
and almost invariably causes death.
Owing to the trades in which it usually
occurs, it is commonly known as wool
sorters' or rag pickers' disease. This
man was a farmer who had soma
slight itching eruption on the chest,
which he frequently scratched. For
two weeks before his death he had
been engaged in sowing different kinds
of grain along with artificial manure
in the shape of bone dust, his hands,
of course, We're covered with the latter,
and he frequently used them for
scratching. In few days he noticed
small pimple. This gradually grew
larger and became swollen and in
famed. The skin grew darker, being
almost black in patches; his face was
dusky and livid; he suffered greatly
from difficulty of breathing and died
four days after the onset of the dis
ease. The physician who had charge Of
the case, after a careful examination
of the possible sources of infection.
concluded that the man had infected
himself by scratching some of the bone
dust into the skin on his chest. The
obvious moral to be drawn is that great
care should be used in handling arti-
fetal manures. and that especial pre-
cautions should be taken when there
is an open sore or cut on any portion
of the body likely to be brought in
contact with the fertilizer.

where cold air is brought in, the inlets
should be in the walls near the floor
line, the outlets in the ceilings, roofs
or walls above.
The inlet and outlet most commonly
met with is the shaft or duct. In its
construction there are certain general
rules that should always be observed.
A round shaft is preferable to
square one, as it has greater carry.
ing capacity, there being no dead cor
ners. A smooth one is better than one
that is rough, the velocity of the cur
rent, all other conditions the same, be-
ing greater in the former than in the
latter. To insure action duct should
be as short and straight as it is possi-
BILE to have it. Those of too great
length are usually useless unless ar
tificial heat be used in them to create
a circulation of air. Those placed on
the south side of building, where

are more efficient that those placed on
the north side. The Introduction OF
angles should be avoided as much as
possible. Each right angle put in re-
duces the velocity of the current one
half. When it becomes necessary, as
it frequently is, to change the direc-
tion, rounded elbow may be use
good advantage, it being claimed that
it will not lessen the velocity as much,
there being no square angle for the air
to strike against. B. Paige, in

Rules for Feeding Stock.

Each farmer must make his own
rules for feeding, as the amount of
food required by animals. even when
of the same breed, and of nearly the
same age and weight, differs widely.
Some animals are very dainty, while
others will accept any kind of food Of
fered. The standard rules for feeding
according to live weight are valuable
to a certain extent, but in all focks
or herds some animals will eat much
more than others. hence the wants OF
each individual must be observed and
the animals fed accordingly.

Proper Location of Farm Buildings.

When stables run east and west and
the animals are arranged in two rows
facing a central passageway, those an
imals upon the south side get the
benefits of all the sunlight. while those
upon the north side get none at all.
In combination barns used for storage
and stable, where the cattle are kept
under the scaffolds, II is better To give
them the southern exposure rather
than the northern. for the objections
to the wide range OF temperature do
not Offset the stimulating effect de-
rived from direct sunlight upon the
animals or the disinfecting action u
