the threshers of the wheat belt Ii is
somewhat higher than in tlle past. but
as it costs So 600 to buy threshing

asking too much. They figure that It
is fve-year job 10 pay for n machine
with fifty days work each season, and
threshing 1.6Oe bushels of grain day.
This is the price list that farmers
will have to pay, as every threSher

joined the combine, the figures being
by the bnshel: Wheat, with hands and
teams, 10 cents; with hands and cook
shack, Z cents; with hands, 6 cents;
without hands, 4 cents; oats with hands
and teams, cents; with hands and
cook shack, cents; with hands, 81
cents; without hands, 21z; rye, cent
above wheat; millet, 9 cents, with
hands; alfalfa, with hands, 80 cents
and 81; kafIir corn, 3 cents. Farmers
are TO haul coal.
In some neighbour. GODS of this county
farmers are forming cooperative
threshing companies and are buying
their own outfits, thus being indepen-
dent of the threshers' association and
finding the cost of their work less than
is charged by the combine. The
threshermen's association holds month
~ meetings in the county seat, to keep
their organization in working order.

HOW About Your weII2

The following, taken from a docu-
ment issued by the Michigan State
Board of Health, should receive the
thoughtful attention of every one:
The most scrupulous care should
be taken to keep the present sources
of drinking water pure, and to pro-
cure future supplies only from clean
sources. The general water supply of
cities and villages is a matter of
great concern; it should be procured
from places where there can be no
probability of immediate or remote
contamination. The weII-known out
break of typhoid fever at Plymouth,
Pa. where over thousand cases and
one hundred and fourteen Q14)
deaths occurred, is apparently an IL
lustration of how great a calamity
may follow the fouling of a general
water supply by the discharges of a
person sick with typhoid fever When
there is no general water supply, nor
good sewers, much may be done to
protect wells by the abolition of cess
pits and privy vaults, by the use of
dry earth in privies, and by the fire.
quent removal therefrOm of all their
drain into wells unsupported by those
who use the water. Should typhoid
fever discharges pass into such
privy an outbreak of typhoid fever
among those using the water from a
neighboring well would be likely to
occur. If such a we'll were the
source of the general water supply of
city, typhoid fever might soon be
epidemic there. There is
good reason to suspect the water of
well whenever a vault is situated
within hundred feet of it, particu-
iarly If the soil be porous. In nu-
merous instances fluids from excre-
. Ia have leached into wells from much
greater distances; and it has been
proved that well thirty rods from a
cemetery received water which had
Uttered through the soil of the GENE
terry Dangerously contaminated
water may be and often is found to be
clear and coIorless and to have no
bad taste" The noted instance at
Lausanne, Switzerland, where the
discharges from typhoid fever pa
tients were thrown into a small
stream, which disappeared by sink
ing into the earth and gravel and
reappeared about half a mile distant
as mountain spring, the clear water
OF which caused typhoid fever In one
hundred and fortyfour CAD per
sons, is instructive, anS IS worthy OF
note as illustrating how the disease
may be spread.
