HAVANA CLEARED OF FEVER.
KILLING OF INFECTED MOSQUITOES HAS
PROVED A MOST EFFECTUAL COURSE

KILLING OF INFECTED MOSQUITOES HAS
PROVED A MOST EFFECTUAL COURSE
Havana Feb 15.-Maior w c. Gorgas'
chief sanitary officer Of Havana, says the prln-
cinal work of the Sanitry Department for the
last wear has had for its object the extermina-
ton of yellow fever and that he has many rea-
sons to believe that Havana has been actually
nurged from the disease During the last one
hundred years. Major Gorgas says. yellow fever
has been endemic in Havana, and all sanitary
measures that have been taken have had no
effect General disinfection, carried out for
other diseases has been tried to no purpose; but
yellow fever sharply disappeared upon the in
PRODUCTION of the system based the killing OF
infected mosquitoes the theory that by such
MOSQUITOES only could the disease be trans
mitted.
From September 2S 1901, not single case Of
the fever has been reported, and this condition
is so unusual that it, in the opinion Of Major
Gorgas, puts aside all question Of chance. Dur
ing the last forty-flve years scarcely month
has passed without deaths occurring from the
fever In 1857 2.05S deaths from the disease
were reported, and in 1865 there were ffty-one
deaths. The average for fOrty-five years has
been 751.
In 1901, with the new system. there were only
before the system was put into operation At
the beginning of 1901 the conditions were most
unfavOTable, and there was every prospect that
yellow fever would be prevalent. During 1900
deaths On March 1, 1901. the plan of killing
infected mosquitoes was put into effect with
the result that only six persons have died in
Havana from yellow fever since that time.

While II is not possible to accurate
ly forecast the outcome of the wheat
crop, reasonable prudence would sug-
gest that for the present, wheat should
not be pastured to any great extent.
The conditions have been such during
the summer and fall just past that
much wheat was sown in soil that had
been poorly prepared, and even with
the best of preparation. there has not
been sufficient moisture for vigorous
growth. There were heavy rains dur
ing the fall of 1900 and the soil was
filled with moisture and thoroughly
saturated. With these conditions and
favorable winter weather, wheat fur
nished an unusual amount of pasture
last winter and was in some cases,
actually benefited by pasturlng. The
conditions are entirely different at
present. In general, the fall rains
have been sufficient only to moisten
the soil to a depth of about six inches
while the subsoil has scarcely been
reached by the water. The wheat is
thus dependent upon the rains that
com during the winter and while it
Is possible that there may be plenty
OF rain for the purpose, the average
rainfall Of past seasons has been in
sufficient. II is true that feed is scarce
and high in price and the wheat pas
ture sells for good prices. Some pre-
Ter 10 take what is to be had in the
way OF pasture from the wheat crop
and to plant some other crop IL the
wheat is harmed by pasturing, fearing
that possibly wheat may not yield
well next harvest even If not pastured.
Looked at In this light, pasturing
wheat is profitable, even though 1t
Kills the wheat. But it will not do TO
follow the practice of last winter when
IL was scarcely possible to pasture
wheat too heavily in Oklahoma.-Ok-

One rule cannot be established that
VIII apply to all farm animals. The
dairy COW is at one end of the line
ana the sheep at the other. A certain
amount of cold Is a stimulant to farm
animals. especially to those with warm
coverings. The natural covering OF
the sheep is a much better protection
from the cold of winter than that pos.
sessed by most other domestic ami.
mails. 1t is evident that with n cover
ing that permits little escape of heat,
the food required to supply heat is
greatly lessened. Among the keepers
OF sheep there Is a wide divergence OF
opinion concerning the extent to
which they should be housed in winter.
There are cases extant where sheep
have been fattencd in open pens and
compared with sheep fattened in
closed pens. The ones the most ex-
posed made the largest gains. Also,
where sheep have been fattene6 under
natural conditions as to temperature,
a close record of the gains and of the
daily temperature have shown the
greatest gains during the coolest pc
RODS. In such cases 1t is evident that
the cold was a stimulant. If so, then
cold has as certain a value in feeding
operations as have the various feeds.
The problem is to find just where cold
ceases to be a virtue. and becomes a
menace. This field of inquiry Is as
yet practically untouched.
