the splendid rains that have been

PHYSICIAN TRACES TYPHOID TO FLIES.
Clean Up Campaign and War on Common
Pests Is Urged.

Eight new cases of typhoid
fever in Ft. Worth are reported
to the city physician during this
month, while the doctor does
, not believe there is occasion for
any great alarm, he says unless
the residents of the city clean up
their premises and keep them
clean and wage warfare against
the common house fly, the infec.
tiOn is liable to spread and be-
come serious MANAGE.
| The housefly is mainly re-
sponsible for the spread of ty-
phoid Infection" said DR.. Trim
bic, "and unrelenting warfare
should be waged against this
pest. All houses should be
tightly screened and fiypaper
and poisons should tempt the
flies to an early death if they
succeed in getting through the
screens into the house.
These warm days and the ac-
cumulation of decaying of vege-
table matter to be found on so
many premises furnish tineplaces
for the propagation of typhoid
germs which the flies carry
throughout the neighborhood.
All such matter should be clean
ed up at once, and the premises
kept clean. All slop barrels
should be kept covered at all
times, and should be kept emp
tied at least once every day. Too
much precauiion can not be ex-
ercised in this particular. But
do not loose sight of the main
causes of all the typhoid, is the
little common fly, therefore make
war on the fly, destroy him at
all times and all of the time. Let
everyone inspect his or her prem
ises. Clean up everything place
all of the old empty cans in a
sack so that the garbage wagon
can haul the same away, do it
now. and not delay such matters
until we have an epidemic OF
typhoid and then lock the barn
after the horse is stolen.

of range of the same quality out
side, produced a heavier lamb
crop, heavier sheep, and more
wool, and at the same time re-
suited in a better condition of
the range itself. These advan-
tages are due to the different be-
hayior of sheep pastured within
such an enclosure from that of
sheep herded in the ordinary
way.
When band of sheep moves
about in charge of a herder, it
must be kept from scattering
much. AS result much of the
forage is wasted through tramp
ling. Within an enclosure, how
ever, the sheep soon learn to
spread out and shift for them
selves. Under these conditions
il is not to be wondered at that
a given area supports more
sheep, puts them in better con-
dition, and suffers less wear and
tear. The success of the new
method, however, depends on
the determination of all danger
ous animals within the enclos.
ure, and on the maintenance of a
fence which will keep off out
side attacks.
Mr.. Taylor believes that the
Wallowa plan of construction is
open to improvement in one par
ticular. He advocates placing a
barbed wire on the ground be
fore the woven wire is unrolled
and stapling it down. | expect
TO build another inclosure soon, ,
his letter concludes, and viii
have barbed wire stretched
around the enclosure and have
the men place their foot on the
wire and press it close to the
ground. With the fence already
constructed it seemed almos
impossible to get the wire a.
close to the ground as is neces
sary on account of the unevel
surface"

Coyote Proof Pasture Succeeds in Colorado.

The enclosure of sheep range
within a coyote proof fence has
been tried in Colorado by f. H..
Taylor, of Mancos, with highly
satisfactory results. An expert
ment begun by the L. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture on the Wal
Iowa National Forest, in Oregon,
to discover whether sheep could
be advantageously pastured with
in such ali enclosure, led Mr.
Taylor to give the new method a
trial. The outcome is set forth
in a letter to the department, as
follows:
After reading the description
of your coyote proof fence in
Oregon, l constructed fence to
enclose about 500 acres in the
same manner. The fence was
constructed during the fall Of
1908, and in the spring of 1909
and 1915 one thousand head of
ewes lambed in this inclosure. "
In the vernacnlar of the herd e,
lone hundred per cent of the
lambs were saved" that is, a
lamb to every eve, and one
man did all the work. | think
the per cent of the lambs would
have been higher, but one ami
NAL, presumably a coyote, was
inside when the fence was con
structed. 1t was impossible to
capture this animal even with
hounds. Some of the herders
thought the animal was not a
coyote, but since coyote tracks
were found in several places
am of the opinion that it was
Whatever the animal was 1t
raised it's young inside the en-,
closure.
Connecting his loss with the
rapacity of this animal, Mr.. Tay
lor says:
"A great many of the lambs
were killed and a small hole eat
en- behind the foreleg and the
remainder of the carcass was
untouched. On the land outside
the enclosure it required the ser
vices of three men and a pack O
hounds to care for one thouSant
ewes, and only 95 per cent of tn
lambs were saved. This pc
cent could not have been savet
without the assistance of th'
hounds.
L consider this fence a splen
did investment since it easil,
pays for itself in three years
On the other hand, it is Otter
difficult and sometimes impos
sible to get men during tn
lam bing season. For this reason
the money value of the fence cal
hardly be estimated. "
The Department of Agricul
ture entered upon the exper
ment of enclosing sheep rang
within a fence which would turl
stock destroying animals in tn
belief that this method woul'
save forage as well as stock an
wages. This belief has bee
fully justified by the results
