Curing PcrsimnOns.

From a report recently prepared by
David G. Fairchild, an explorer OF the
Department of Agriculture, it appears
thai persimmons as they are eaten
in Japan are as firm in texture as a
Northern Spy apple, free from as
tringency, and of a delicious flavor.
They are not allowed to ripen to the
squashy consistency of the fruit as 1t
is eaten in America Investigations
as to Japanese methods of curing per-
simmons show that the Japanese put
the perslmmons in sake Japanese

emitted. The heads of these casks

The usefulness of the telephone be
comes more and more apparent as Its
territory of operation is extended into
remote corners of the globe. Nowadays
the traveller in the heavily wooded sec.
tons of the north country is amazed
when he sees how the march of pro
gress has extended in the shape OF
telephones in the forest.
Useful as the telephone Is in the city
where the steps it saves could some
times be compensated for by the use
of the automobile, the electric car, or
the fast express, it is far more useful
in the forest, where are none Of these
conveniences, and where the canoe or
bateau Is the common vehicle of travel.
In logging operations the telephone
now plays most important part. The
dams along the river are built not only
to hold water against a time of drought
but also to control the flood, SO that
the river flow may be properly regu-
lated. To this end considerable crew
of men is kept at the dams ali the time.
to open or close the gp .es on short
notice. Before the t---Gh cneG came
into use, instruction. to the dam crew
were conveyed up or down the river by
relays of men, stationed at frequent in
tervals along the banks. and the mes
sage was shouted from one to another.
The telenhone lines are being ex-
tended every year, and it will not be
long before telephones are almost as
common in the woods as they are in
the city. Recently the telephone has
been called into use to aid the wood
wardens in fire fighting in the northern
and western forests.

or the soil dry, the gases are dissipated
SO rapidly that a large quantity of the
liquid is required to kill the animals
and the method becomes too expensive.
If, however, the burrows are simple and
and the soil moist, bisulphid may be
used successfully. For pocket gophers
an ounce of the liquid for each burrow
is sufficient. The carbon bisulphid is
poured over a bunch of cotton. rags. or
other waste material and this quickly
pushed into the burrow, which should
be closed at once.

Strong Light Injurious to Plants.

Strong light has been found in some
instances to hinder the growth of pol
len tubes of plants. This is thought
to be the reason why tomatoes and
cucumbers do not bear fruit in mid
summer in Arizona Strong direct sun
light in summer also prevents the
plant leaves from assuming the usual
green color. Thus, strawberry plants
in Arizona are yellow for about three
months in summer even when grown
under shade of cheese cloth. When
grown on the north side of a dense
shade of sorghum or cotton the plants
remain green and dense all summer
and are probably the most vigorous
in the garden.

well sweep were used and the water
taken from the surface, no disagree
able features were noted. 1t was found
upon examination that the sink drain
which had been in use for generations
passed close to the well and a large
part of the drainage emptied into it.
This organic matter settled to the bot
tom of the well and became putrid.
Whenever the pump was used the
alter containing this foul matter was
drawn from the lower part of the well,
while that obtained from the top by
means of the well sweep was above the
contamination and did not give evil
dence of disagreeable odor or taste,
although 1t contained in solution a
large amount of filthy matter. The de-
-lorable feature of this situation is
that It requires in the majority of
cases only the exercise of common
sense in the selection of point at
which safe well may be sunk.
The accompanying illustrations
show safe and unsafe well locations.
That showing the improper location is

FORCED AND uNfoRceD RHuBARs

When thus grown in darkness the
leaf blade is greatly reduced. the
green color is wholly absent, the tex
ture is more crisp and delicate, due
to a lessened development of woody
fiber, the skin is much thinner than

and the flavor is generally improved.
Rhubarb thus grown commands a
fancy price.

Forcing Rhubarb.

Experiments have shown that the
most satisfactory results in cultivating
rhubarb, are attained by growing the
roots from seed and forcing when the
plants are one year old. Drying the
roots has been found to have the same
effect as freezing. Either drying or
freezing serves the same purpose as a
long rest, which is otherwise required.
and the product is more vigorous.

be given to waste lands along fences,
streams, public highways, and rail-
roads. Such places are favorite haunts
of the animals, because in them are

such resorts that adjoining farms are
often restocked with pocket gophers.

TYPHOID FEVER ON THE FARM
C. j. Blanchard, U. S. Geological
SURVEY.

C. j. Blanchard, U. S. Geological
Survey.
More than 40 per cent Of the farm
wells SO far examined in this State
have been found to be polluted" This
is significant statement made by the
director Of a State Board of Health
laboratory, in which several thousand
well waters have been examined. It
helps to explain why the death rate
from typhoid fever is greater in the
country than in the city.
1t is a popular notion of city folk
that vacation in the country is a
safeguard against all the diseases to
which the flesh is heir; physicians
recognize this when they send their
patients away from the city. The
country life is unquestionably the ideal
one; the popular cry back to nature"
has large measure of justification,
yet there are thousands of people who
return from such an outing consumed
with typhoid fever. Why should this
be true?

Farmers Swear by Their wells,

1t is commonly observed that nearly
every farmer believes in the purity
OF his well water. especially IL the
well has been in use for generations.
The fact that his grandfather believed
the water to be pure is sufficient evil
dence for him to defend the well, even
though his family be devastated by
typhoid fever. 1t is sometimes the
case that a well is used even after its
taste and odor ought to be sufficient to
demonstrate that it is polluted. A
notable instance occurred not long
since, in which a certain farmer could
not use the water from his well If it
were drawn up by a pump, ~but If a

Typhoid an Index to Water Purity

A century of experience has shown
that the typhoid rate in any place is
a good index of the purity of the water
supply at that place. Therefore, when
we find that the typhoid rate in the
country is higher in the aggregate than
in the city, it can be fairly assumed
that country water supplies are not as
safe as city supplies, and this in spite
of the fact that many of our city
waters are VIGOROUSLY bad. The state
from which the above mentioned testi-
mony comes is a typical one SO far as
its proportion of rural pollution is con-
cerned and that there is no reason to
believe that IL the matter were investi-
gated in other states, the conditions
Of farm wells would be in any degree
superior.
In connection with its investigations
Of the character of water supplies, the
United States Geological Survey has
noted repeatedly that typhoid fever is
continuously prevalent in many rural
sections. In some cases this condition
has been maintained for SO many years
that it is accepted by the communities
as one of the ordinary incidents of life
and becomes matter of general COM
ment only during periods of especial
virulence. The facts are, that there
are comparatively few farm wells To-
Gated at points not subject to local
contamination.
