Disease Caused by Fieas.

While the public has been more or
less educated as to the responsibility
If the mosquito for malaria and yellow
fever, it has not heard so much about
the flea. which many scientists believe
a some connection with the trans
mission OF leprosy and possibly OF
plague. Before a crusade is preached
against this insect. however. 1t is de-
sirable that 1t should be studied most
carefully. and a recent writer in Sci
ence desires h cooperation of his pro-
f%essional brethren in the extensive coll
lecting of h fleas infesting rats, cats,
dogs, and especially human beings. in
all parts of the world. but more par
ticularly and thoroughly il all plague
and leprosy infected regions.
There is involved in the proposed
plan such an extended and systematic
study of h flea as is now being car
ried on by the United States govern
ment In the case of mosquitoes. The
subject Is. Of course. a very open one.
and a vast amount of experimental
work must be done. but it is believed
that the fleas living on rats and mice
DO their part In spreading the plague.
These rodents are destroyed by quar-
antine and other government health Of
ncials wherever possible in the east.
and such measures have a most salu-
tary effect in checking disease. The flea
presents a very different proposition
from h mosquito, on account of his
habits and characteristics. He is said
to be an epicure. where the mosquito
Is u glutton. and may bite a dozen
places In as many minutes without fill
Ing himself with blood. His puncturing
is SO formed tina it has
suggested that he is unable to
wipe his mouth clean after a meal, and
parts of the mouth are recommended
useful for obtaining blood corpuscles
for examination with the microscope.
The chief Indictment against the flea
Is that he bites an Infected person. and
then communicates or transfers the
bacilli to q healthy Individual. who
may thus become infected. The results
of this study will be awaited with no
small amount of interest. .

BALANCING THEIR OWN RArloNs

All poultrymen are firm believers in ball
anced rations for poultry. but there is con-
siderable difference of opinion as to
whether the balancing should be done by
the feeder or the feed turned over to the
fowls for them to do their own balancing.
One of the advocates Of the latter plan
furnishes the following suggestions for
making such a feeding box and the rea-
sons why the fowls should balance Their
own food. In order to protect the grain a
small house is built with a roof slanting
SO that there will be no drip of water into
the feed provided the feeding box is not
under shelter. A number Of compartments
are provided inside this house, one for
corn. one for wheat and a third for an
other whole grain or a mixture of several
gram. as desired. Some p%oultrymen use
