Substantial Progress In Sanitation Ia
Being Made of Late Years.
People hear so much about health
Institutes nowadays that they are apt
to be little skeptlcal as to their eff
cacy, and to regard them as largely
money-maklng arrangements.
In England almost all matters con.
corning the public health are treated
at Institutes, like the British Sanitary
Institute, for instance, and every pub,
lie man thinks It his duty to patronize
1t,
At late meeting Of the institutes
the question was raised as to what
had been accomplished by these insti.
tutes, and II was found that since pub.
lie health became science at the be-
ginning Of the late queens reign the
average life of q man has been in.
creased by three years and that of q
woman by five years.
That the doctors do know something
is evidenced by the fact that thirty
years ago typhoid fever killed 374 peo-
pie out of every 100000 in Great
Britain. To-day, with an enormously
increased population, 1t kills a bare
200 per 100000. Typhus, which sixty
years ago struck down another 300 per
100000, has been literally stamped
out by sanitation. Statistlclans conf

fever killed 9S2 persons per 100000;
1t now barely carries off 100.
The death rate in consumption is
also declining, During 1S6l-65 death

A vast surprise greeted Hlfenstein
when he returned home--a perfect series
Of them, In fact. During his absence two
very important things had occurred. Sir
Reginald had died suddenly, death prob.
ably being hastened by his recent great
excitement and Bbhel was no longer an
inmate of the doctors home.
Mrs. Clum told him how the young girl
had remained two days, Her arm had
come TO rights quickly. The death Of
Sir Reginald had shocked her. and, she
seemed nervous, worried, eager to get
away from the scenes that had Mortified
her. She had left a tearstained note
fervently thanking the doctor for all his
kindness, and saying that she felt she
must get work and support herself.
In this she had been successful. A
few miles distant was the home of the
Duchess Of Westmoreland. Bthel had
somehow learned that she wished to en-.
gage governess for her daughter, Lady
Claire Linwood. She had applied for
the position, and had secured II.

When he left his heart was hard and
cold, and she, poor child, was tortured
with the anguish love only can feel.
In fact, Earle had asked for an ex-

dead Sir Reginald to frighten the simple
natives with the superstitious idea that
the tower was haunted. Ethel remem.
bered her solemn promise. She dared
not break II. The doctor grew from sus.

He knew It was fate from the very

to be shy, but he felt like a raw school
boy In her presence.
She had many friends at the hotel,
but he managed by sheer persistence
to monopolize a good share of her time.
He could not tell whether he was
w. "g any headway or not. She was
friendly but very elusive, and the time
had come when he must go back to
his work, for there were obligat tons
which he could not ignore.

which she had never seen. He was un-

Many Unnecessary Fences.

Old customs die hard. no matter how
useless they may be. On farms where
much stock is to be raised fences are
quite necessary, but on farms devoted
to fruit growing, vegetable raising or
grain production there can be little
need for a large expenditure in the
way of fences. | was brought up on
a New England farm. and speak from
experience when | declare that the
existence of useless fences Is the cause
of much waste of time and labor in
the performing of the farm work.
Where stock raising is carried on on
a considerable scale we must have
fences, for the farm crops must be ro-
tated and the pasture must be included
in the rotation. This is true of those
farms where there is not a large per.
manent pasture. In the case of such
a farm. it should be enough to fence
the pasture or pastures thoroughly.
Some would object that this would
not allow the meadows to be pastured.
Very WELL the non-pasturing of the
meadows would be Il good thing for
the meadows. and just as good for the
farm animals in the end, as they
would have Il larger supply of forage
from those same meadows Writer,

Alfalfa For Hogs.

really they should not he pastured on
it till the third season after sowing, as
it requires three seasons he says for
the plant to get well established. and
If the swine are turned onto it before,
it is likely to become seriously injured.
The best results in pasturing swine on
alfalfa come from the growing animals
and when the alfalfa pasture is used
for growing hogs, it is estimated that
the grain ration may be cut one-half
at least. There is the further advan-
tage in pasturing that the hogs do not
require so much care as when IN con-
finement or on range of limited area.

Profit in fruit growing depends on

sThe Department of Agriculture has
recently issued Circular No. 10, of The
Bureau of Animal Industry, entitled
milk Fever; Its Simple and Success
full Treatment" 1t gives Il complete
description of the astonishingly sue
cessful results obtained in the treat
ment of this heretofore extremely
fatal malady by the injection of fll-
tered atmospheric air into the udder.
Milk fever affects well nourished,
heavy milking cows in all the large
dairy districts of this country, and is
characterized by the complete paral-
ysis of the animal shortly after calv'
ing. AS it attacks the best milking
COWS in the herd and at n time when
the milk flow is the heaviest, the dis
ease is one which has caused very Sc
we're losses in our dairy industry. 1t
is, therefore, of the greatest import
ance that every milk producer ac-
quaint himself with the present eX-
timely successful treatment and
should provide himself with a suit
able apparatus for injecting sterile air
through each teat until the udder Is
we'll distended. This air treatment Is
by far the most simple and practi-
cable, as well as the most efiicacious
and harmless one ever used, and has
reduced the mortality from the dis
case to almost nothing. 1t is easy or
manipulation. requires but little time,
and Is readily accomplished by means
of the apparatus suggested by the
bureau. Up to within recent times
most stringent measures We're resort
cd to by every careful dairyman TO
prevent the disease I'm his herd. How
ever. since the air treatment has so
greatly reduced, and even In some
cases obliterated, the mortality, pre-
vention is no longer such an import
ant problem, and therefore preventive
measures, such as starving, blood let
ting, ETC., which have severe and
lasting effect upon the animals, should
be abandoned. The most recent pre-
ventive treatment suggested is in line
with the favorable results obtained by
the injection of air into the udder. 1t
consists In allowing the susceptible
COW to retain In the udder for twen-
~ -four hours following calving all the
milk except the small quantity re-
qulred by the calf The distention of
the udder naturally follows ms in the
air treatment md acts as preventive
against milk fever.
