Dependence of Cities
THE right of science to question the sanitary
conditions under which farm produce is pre-
pared for market is based upon the dependence
of Our cities on the supply of garden truck
and dairy products that come from outlying
farms. As matter of fact, if the cities them
selves could raise their own vegetables and
make their own butter, the harmlessness of
these articles could be more safely relied upon
for sanitary conveniences and rules prevail
more completely within urban limits than in
the rural environs. Too many farms are no
more progressive than they were in the days of
our sturdy but unenlightened grandfathers.
For example, Washington, D. c., with FL

largest city in the State. Now not only do
these unwholesome conditions transfer their
menace by means of milk, butter, cheese, and
vegetables, but the city man who takes week
end in the country, or the real estate, book, or
lightning rod agent who goes out among the
farms on business may return with lively
community of germs in his system, conveyed
from the lips of some moss covered bucket
that hangs in misplaced well.
Did you ever stop to think that the milk you
occupies the middle of marshy field, where
the cattle lie and inger in the hot summer
weather, the site of which, being only twenty
rods from barn and house, and on a lower
level, receives seepage of surface filth? Or it
may be that the water supply is an iron cistern
water from dust and dirt. Or perhaps it is
drilled well with surface reservoir shielded
only by loose boards, which allow the ground
washings from rains to trickle down into the
water. Even driven well with casing is not
safe if bad water is used for printing or the well
is too neighborly to a polluted stream.
All these types described are actual ones, as
referred to in the report of recent investiga-
ton made by experts in one State. This State
is probably less notorious example of evil con-
ditions than its sisters, and was selected as the
field for investigation only because it embodied
a wide range of economic and agricultural con-
ditions. Out of seventy-eight water supplies
examined, fifty-nine were found to be more or

Sciences Death Warrant
IN accordance with the conclusions of these
investigators science will read the death
warrant to the welsweep and the iron-bound
bucket; not that the picturesque features of
old fashioned country life are in themselves so
wicked, but because of the evil company that
is generally found associated with them Of
all water sources examined, the dug we'll with
open top and TANKS unprotected from surface
washings betrayed the most alarming dangers
Cisterns and bored, drilled, and even driven
wells may all be bad where there is only igno-
rance and Indifference to care for the externals
In every case where an individual water supply
was convicted of breeding deadly germs, the
brand of guilt was placed upon the brow of the
one responsible for the keeping of the place.
The solicitude of city authorities concerning
the water supplies of farms will exert an educa-
ting influence which in time will reclaim more
remote sections from the crime of committing
suicide with the waters of unsanitary wells
Let health officers compel dairy farmers,
among other things, to case their wells tightly
provide them with secure coverings, and to
place them on ground higher than the locations
of barns and yards, and the neighbors of those
farmers will learn better methods by the proc
ess of natural dissemination and will come to ap-
ply these methods as means of self protection

Keep Prolific sows.

Many sows produce only four pigs
on an average. Eight is not an un-
usually large number. yet is more than
many produce. Sows cost about S12 a
year for keep. A pig from a four pig
SOW would at birth cost SO and only
Si.50 from an elght pig SOW. A dollar
and a half added 10 each pig at birth
is n burden that few can shake loose.
Every man who grows pigs should
have the eight pig SOW rather than
the four pig kind. In case of n man
growing sixty pigs It would mean a

OF being considered IN cheaper pork
