accustomed to the work, disinfection
may seem most complicated proc
ess. Any approved method, however,
is comparatively simple when carried
out carefully, although like many
another procedure it is one in which
attention to details counts for much.
1t Is important to bear in mind that
the causative agents of many dis
eases are extremely small and may
remain for an indefinite time in dust,
cracks. and crevtces of buildings, SO
that efforts aiming 1.-THE eradication
of disease from contaminated prem
ises must be thorough in order to be
effective.
In the work of disinfection nature
has provided man with most valu-
able ally-sunlight. 1t is we'll known
that the direct rays of the sun are
destructive to many forms Of bac-
terra, In some cases destroying them
and In others lessening their 1nfiu-
ence. Thus the Importance Of we'll
lighted stables is evident. The dark
and sunless building will be favor
the structure which admits the great
est amount of sunlight will be the
least favorable for their development.
Again, heat will destroy the bacteria
of disease. By this Is not meant the
ordinary heat OF. the sun, but heat as
developed in boiling water or in
fame. It is upon this principle that
the surgeon before operating renders
his instruments free from the posi-
bile presence of bacteria by boiling,
and it is heat which renders a Jet of
live steam destructive to bacteria.
Sunlight, however, cannot be consid-
cred more than an accessory in the
destruction Of, bacteria. while the APP
plication of heat in the form of steam
or flame is seldom possible The re-
suit is that in the practical work Of
disinfection we are dependent upon
certain drugs, which have power to
destroy the organisms of disease.

A good way to prevent hens from
overturning their drinking vessels is
to punch a hole in the side-near the
top of tin pail or old tomato can
and hang it up on nailldriven into the
woodwork of-the chicken house, about
six inches from the ground. Be sure
there are no sharp edges to the can
or that the head Of the nail does not
protrude more than half an inch.

some RICH PURSES
Fine Horse Flesh Sure to Be Seen at
West MICHIGAN State Fair.

Flying machines ana automobiles
are great things and it is lot of fun
to watch them go, but, after ALL there
is no sport holding a greater fascina
ton for the American public than a
good horse race. The horse is still
king.
Neither would any fair be complete
without horse races. Everybody loves
to see a fine animal swing into his
stride and get around a carefully pre-
pared track. In accordance with Gus
tom the West Michigan State Fair
has provided for an exceptionally fine
lot of horse races for it's annual eX.
position in Grand Rapids, Sept to
10. r.. NJ. Schornstein superintendent
Of the speed department. has taken
special care this year to bring to
Grand Rapids horses that can go.
The Fair has offered $4,000 in purses
and will put up trotting pacing and
running events. The track was never
in finer condition than now. When
Pop Geers and the other famous driv-
ers sent their horses around in the
Grand Circuit meet, they declared they
had never driven over faster track
than this. The result was mighty fast
time.
But since then, weather conditions
and the constant working Of the track
has improved it vastly. Barring the
accident Of too heavy rGins.>the track
Vii be in--fhe best condition when
the fair opens that ii ever has beeu
in. This means fast time and good
races and that is what the lover OF
a horse trot goes miles to see.

VICTIM
OF TRACHINA
Resident of Sphinx County Dies
From Eating Homemade
Sausage

Huron, Jan. 2 .-David B. Hofer,
living 26 miles north of this city in
SpInk county, died last evening
from the effects of trichma infec.
ton. He had been suffering from
the disease for twenty-five DAYS
past, and for twenty-four days OF
that time he had had no sleep, what.
ever, expecting that induced by
opiates. His wife and four child.
rem are also very ill with trichinosis,
and little hope for their recovery is
entertained.
This infection was from home
made sausage, in which an examina-
ton at the state university has
since discovered the presence of
trichinae in large numbers. The
same process of sausage making has
been employed by the Hofer family
for thirty years, and heretofore they
have escaped infection. The sausage
is made by smoking but is not cook
ed and is eaten in slices uncooked,
as is the custom with many of the
Germans and Russians.
This is the first known case of
tr1chinosis in this locality in years.
the disease among hogs having be-
come much less common than at one
time,
d.. B. Hofer was a man of promi-
hence among the Russian and Ger
man Mennonites. of whom there are
many in this locality, the Hutterische
Brotherhood owning a 500, 00Q col
ony-farm near the Hofer property.

Seed Grain

The question of getting good seed
grain is now interesting every local
ity of this and neighboring states.
In this locality there is some good
seed. both wheat and corn. but not
nearly enough for the spring sowing
and planting. The railroads have
offered to ship in seed grain free of
freight charges to any county if the
county commissioners will take hold
of the matter and see that it is pro-
perly handled. There is also some
demand for the county commission
ers to obtain seed on the county
credit and loan it to farmers.
There is some talk of calling the
commissioners together by petition
to discuss the matter at a special
meeting. An adjourned meeting OF
the commissioners is already called
|, for February Goth. This question
of furnishing seed was tried MANY
years ago by several counties and
some townships.
