ness thus appeared to be Of relatively
simple solution. There were two as
poets to the case-first the infection
of human beings by the ny. and, sec
ondly, the infection Of the fly from
infected human beings.
1t was considered therefore, that
the disease could be stayed If. first,
the chances of exposure to the fly
were diminished. and, secondly, II the
ed by removing the sick from the fly
area. An elaborate experiment of this
kind was made on the northern shore
Of Lake Victoria. Along the whole
lake shore, from Buddhu to the Ripon
Falls, the natives were removed, the
sick were segregated into camps, the
holdings were evacuated and burnt,
and the banana plantations we're al
lowed to 60 to waste. The willing CO
operation Of the chiefs in this ire
mendous task Is a complete proof of
the extraordinary hold the disease has
got on the native population.
In the segregation camps to which
the sick had been conveyed various
remedies sent out from Europe were
tried. but with little success. 1t is
conceded on all hands that the patient
with definite evidence of sleeping
sickness upon him Is doomed. The
clearing Of the lake shore was made
on the basis Of the view that the
tsetse fly does not remain infective
for long period, and 1t was hoped
that when the infective period was
over the shores Of the lake could
again be populated. Recent advances
have shown, however. that this hope
Is not to be realized. and that. indeed,
the prophylaxis Of sleeping sickness
is a much more complicated task than
was originally supposed.

Uganda, particularly on the northern
shores Of Victoria Nyanza.
Indeed. the mortality was so great
that 1t became imperative to under
take immediate action In order to pre-
vent the natives from being complete
ly wiped out. At Entebbe a labora-
tory was erected. and here extensive
experiments were carried out which
proved the guilt of the glossina pal
pals up to the hilt.

It is also suggested that In addi-
ton to man the trypanosoma may
pass It's existence in the bodies OF
other vertebrates such as the croco-
ollie according to Koch, and various
wild herbivorous animals according
to others. In the last year or two the
very important doubt has also been
raised as to whether glossina palpalis
| is the exclusive carrier Of the human
trypanosomes. Thus cases of sleep
ing sickness have occurred in the val
ley of the Loangwa, tributary OF the
Zambesi In northeastern Rhodesia-
Up to the present glosina palpalis has
not been found there, the main tsetses
being G. morsitans and G. fusca,
which hitherto have been exculpated
as carriers Of trypanosoma gambiense.
A new expedition is proceeding to
northeast Rhodesia to investigate the
subject and the whole question OF pos
sible spread of sleeping sickness in
consequence of the construction Of the
Rhodesia- Katanga junction railway
from the Broken Hill mine in north
ern Rhodesia to the Congo State from
tier and beyond.
Down to 1902 all kinds of theories
were rife as to the nature Of sleeping
sickness, but since this year we have
witnessed the results of the combina-
ton of scientific and archaeological
observations. The cause OF the dis
ease Is known-its method of propa-
CATION in part at any rate. The pre-
ventive plans hitherto undertaken are
In the right direction even II not so
complete as was supposed. The geo
graphical distribution of tsetse flies
and sleeping sickness Is being rapidly
determined. What still wants solution
are the studies on the more detailed
life histories Of the flies and the try
panosomes and synthetic remedies fol-
the cure Of the unfortunate victims Of
the disease.
These studies are not merely Of
scientific or humane interest but Of
vast commercial importance In con
nection with the development Of eQua
torial Africa.

POULTRY NOTES.

Winter-hatched chickens are the
best layers.
No expensive apparatus is required
to raise geese.
Never breed from yearling turkeys;
select two-year-olds.
Never breed from late-hatched tm-
keys, II 1t Is possible to get better.
Not only is the demand for eggs In
creasing, but also for chicken meat.
Much of the mortality among little
chicks Is due to their being fed too
soon.
Instead Of being overdone, the poul-
try business Is scarcely growing fast
enough.
Don't overfeed the first week Of fat
tening. Rather feed lightly three
times a day.
The food In the chick when Matched
will be fully assimilated and digested

All things considered. there still re-
mains plenty of room for all in the
poultry business.

There are three things necessary to
