fever in the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth. Ninth and
Tenth wards of Baltimore city were traced by
the Health Department to milk farm in Har-
ford county, and the supply was Immediately
ordered shut off SO far as the city is concerned.
1t was thought at first by residents of the Sec
tions affected that the disease came as a result
of filthy alleys, but health officials worked on
the milk theory.
Typhoid was found to have existed on the
farm in question since July LIST, with one death
on July 18th. Three other cases ofillness were
reported after that date and two ofthe patients
are known to have had the fever. 1t was
stated that all had recovered and that the farm
was now free from the disease. Nevertheless
Health Commissioner Bosley ordered the milk
from that particular dairy kept out of Balti-
more for the present.
The danger of infection from the milk before
the actual condition of affairs was discovered
has passed, according to statements made at the
Health Department. 1t is the second time
within the past year or so that the department
has had what might be called serious trouble
as result of typhoid infection through a
dairy.

Mr.. John Crowther selected-"A Vital Point

of phosphoric acid, SO lbs of potash-enough to
grow 70 bushels of wheat with the accompanying

Mr.. Crowther said the value of manure on his
farm has been realized and the good effects of 1t
readily seen in cutting oats which showed deci-

suggested that special attention be given the
care and proper application of manure.
