All through the air passages are disease
germs, depending upon the environ

Germs of dlphtheria, Influenza, pneu-

in the throat and bronchial tubes.
The liver and kidneys harbor germs

In the arm may be found the pyogenic

Malarial germs are in the blood for
the most part, but they are concen-

they are found in the liver.
Endocarditis germs are found in the

A Peculiar Accident.

A peculiar accident occurred in a

Feeding and Watering Fowls.
Where there is n scratching shed con-
nected with the poultry house, all of
the feeding should be done there. If,
however, this valuable addition can not
be had, and the feeding and watering
must be done in the roosting room. some
provision should be made so that the
food will be neither wasted or soiled
by the fowls, says the Indianapolis
News. Crates are inexpensive, and are
readily constructed of light material.
The Stats should be of smooth lumber
and placed so that the fowls can get
their heads in and out without diff

WHERE THE DEADLY
MICROBES ATTACK MAN.

7N general half of the deaths in the
human family are known to be
caused by microscopic organisms.
Just how many other deaths may be
traced to the same germ source Is not
known. They may be many, however
Almost every day new portions of the
body are found to be infested with the
tubercle bacllli, and that this germ, so
long known, has habltats undreamed of
a few years age indicates the possibili-
ties of growth in the whole theory Of
germs.
The germs of all disease, broadly, are
low animal or vegetable organisms.
They may be cultivated by artificial
means, just as plants are grown from
seeds. AS to the number of these
germs, it is problem, but for the most
part the several hundred germs listed
are innocuous. Those of pathological
significance are pretty well determined;
many of the others, so far MS known,
are harmless.
Some germs are liomebodies, and
never care to wander or to roam. IL an
unkind fate shifts them into unaccus.
toned, even though comfortable sur
roundings, they pine away, refuse
nourishment and die.
Take the bovine tuberculosis microbe.
DIR. Koch discovered and proved to his
own satisfaction that this little animal
will perish in the midst of plenty If vlo-
lently taken from its birthplace and
transferred to the human body. Yet
such action on the part of the trans
planted animalcule can be but sense.
less whim, for the overwhelming ma
jority of germs are agreed that human
beings age by far the most aristocratic
dwellings on the list.
By actual count some one has placed
the number of microbes infesting the
mouth and teeth at 159. He might
have made 1t 160. but 1t speaks volumes

1t is somewhat difficult to understand
the fretful growl that goes up from
the Republican organs to make the i'm
migration laws more rigid, to enlarge
the list of undesirables, to exclude the
low classes of Europe
In the first place, it is of record in
many Republican papers that these
classes saved the country" in 1896.
We have very distinct recollection
that such papers as the Chicago Trib-
une, the Chicago Inter Ocean, the Phil
adelphia Press and the New York Press
said after the election In 1896 that
nothing saved the country except the
foreign-born voters; and they proved it
by the election returns. Is it not most
ungrateful, then, to demand that the
class that saved the country should be
excluded?
In the next place, it is interesting to
ask how these undesrables were per-
suaded to flock to this country, when
Switzerland, Great Britain and South
Africa Were open to them. The ques-
ton is answered by remembering that
the "undesirables' We're congrcgated
mostly In the States that contain highly
protected industries. For example, let
some one 90 to Jeanette, Pa, to de.
liver an address to the more than 1900
workers in the pSotected glass factories
at that place. If the lecturer speaks
no other language than English he will
have to hire an interpreter.
Let the trusts beware of excluding
European immigration. Again may the
undesirables be needed to save the
country" by getting hint from the
bosses to vote for their jobs. "-Helen,
Independent.

cnn,ibalism Among Swine.

In nine cases out of ten where sows
kill and eat tlIeir. young the trouble is
due entirely to improper feeding, and 1t
will be generally found that such sows
are fed on corn diet almost exclusive
ly. The brood sow needs protein be-
fore and while she is nursing the pigs.
During the period when the brood SOW
is on the range she should have an
abundance of green food and in some
variety. rape especially being good for
her. The grain foods should be bran,
peas. oats. and little or no corn, and
when confined she should have plenty
of clover hay to take the place of the
green food of the summer. Aside from
the danger of the SOW eating the young,
the corn diet is too heavy, nearly al
ways exciting feverish condition bad
