PRACTICAL
TYPHOID
PREVENTION

typhoid fever in the average COM
munity in the United States can be
practically eliminated by carrying out
reasonable and comparatively inexpen-
slve measures. The community itself
must bear the greatest part of the
burden The first requisite is the ap-
pointment of an expert, full-time
health officer at an adequate salary
a salary Of $1,000 per annum was pro-
Elded for the health officer of Yakima
county. These are the lessons of the
campaign against typhoid fever in va
kima County Washington. This
campaign affords another illustration
of the value of the national public
health bureau in giving expert as
s1stance and advice in organizing 10
cal health work. Were Congress to
make it possible for. this bureau to put
even as. many as 100 men into the field
Tor typhoid work, and were they to
succeed. in. securing the cooperation
of the local authorities as did Lums-
den at Yakima, the increased expen-
d1ture involved would be Insignificant
In comparison with the saving of
health, life and economic resources
which would result.
1t is gratifying to be able to record
for the same year in the United States
two notable achievements in SANTA
ton as regards typhoid: the one, in
the spring. in the Army encampment
on the Mexican border, when, under
military discipline, the maintenance of
excellent hygienic conditions, togeth-
or with antityphoid vaccination, kept
some 1900 troops practically free from
typhoid fever; the other, in the sum
mer and fall, in North Yakima, where,
under civil administration and through
awakening of Intelligent public senti-
ment, measures were carried out which
resulted in graduating 81 per cent. of
the typhoid fever of a community OF
about $4,000 persons.
Emphasis should be placed on the
fact that the work in Yakima Coun-
ty, like that of the eradication of the
plague in San Francisco and of yellow
fever in New Orleans, was carried out
under civil administration and in the
absence of the military control which
facilitated the marvellous work of the
United States in Cuba and Panama,
fact which brings the work and its
lessons very near home. The Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton, commenting on the results of the
Yakima County campaign, points out
that the same results can be secured
in any city or county which will take
the trouble to get rid of this disease.

CHEATING OF MILK BOTTLES
Improved Process Described by Lead Ing Dairy Journal of Germany
 Should Be We'll Aired.

The Hopfen Zeitung. the leading dairy paper of Germany, states a fact in reference to the cleaning of bottles from fatty substances, which may serve as a valuable hint in cleaning all dairy utensils. The process is as follows: Pour warm water into the bottle, i'll in little ordinary hay and rub the inside of the bottle with the hay thoroughly, using a small stick Now rinse the bottle out with clean water, and not a trace of odor of fat will remain. Large bottles which had contained coal oil were successfully cleaned in the same way. Large milk dairies, having steam power, use a hot-water sterilizer, which cleans the bottles very quickly. The dairy uten- sils, after cleansing, should be set out on table in the sun where they can be well aired. Take the lids of the cans so the air can enter.

FERTILE EGGS FOR MATCHING
Those Laid by PuIlets Not Fully Ma tured and All That Vary In
 Shape Should Be Rejected.

Care should be exercised in the Sc lection of eggs for incubation They should weigh about 24 ounces to the dozen. The shell should be smooth and free from Jumps and ridges.
 Generally speaking, the newer the egg the better it is for matching. Eggs will often hatch when they are three weeks old, but the chicks are never as strong as those from fresh eggs. Eggs intended for matching should be kept in a cool place at temperature of about 50 degrees. They should be turned daily until ready for the incu- bator or broody hen.
 Over-large eggs seldom hatch, says the Farm and Home. The small egg is usually from a bullet that has not fully matured, and should be rejected. Thin-shelled eggs are unsafe to use. since they are liable to be broken. The pointed egg and the round egg Bhould go in the egg basket All eggs that vary greatly from normal shape mould be rejected.

IN MATING THE SoWs
Right Selection of Boar to Head Herd Often Means Success or Failure
 for Years.

A litter of eight pigs from pure bred boar mated with a choice SOW will cost no more to grow than If she had been ill-mated, and when grown are worth fifty pounds of meat for each hog over scrubby ones that have consumed the same amount of feed and care.
 This makes 400 pounds of addi- tional meat, without any additional expense aside from your one days work required to accomplish the re- suit. Twenty dollars at the least cal culation for the one day thus r1ent is a good investment This will apply to mating all animals on the farm and is worthy of consideration.
 In purchasing the boar to head your herd of brood sows, the right selection often means a success or failure for a period of years. We must remember the weak and strong points of the sows that are to be his mates.
 When both the male and female have exceptionally strong points, such as good formation-hams, head and feet-they have a tendency to hx or improve these strong points in their offspring

KEEPING BOY ON THE FARM
Get Him Interested In Care of Pig,
 Calf or Some Chlckens-Do Not Be Too Bossy.
(By H. M. MLAUGHLIN.l

 where, are simply men in the process
 Df growth and development No man would stay long on farm without a pecuniary interest in 1t Why, then, expect boys to be more unself1sh and lisinterested than men?
 Give the boy, as soon as he is old enough to take care of it, pig, calf pr some chickens. Give him a piece of ground to work and experiment on. Do not be too bossing. Advise him how to manage, and if he still wants bis own way let him try 1t. Do not be forever "nagging'' and finding fault with him. Remember that his faults, as well as his virtues, are inherited. If he fails, after refusing your advice he will have a greater respect TOT Jour opinion in the future.
 Teach him by example, as well as precept, that labor is honorable and aZiness disgraceful. Give him good Bducation, if possible, in an agricul- Eural college. Have plenty of good books and papers, and set the ex- Ample by reading them yourself. Don't be always grumbling about the hard times farmers have. Make your farm and home beautiful and attractive, and love 1t with all your heart, and stay there yourself if you expect your boy to do 1t.

Corn for Horses.

It is not safe under any circum- stances to pasture horses in stalk fields or to feed them fodder from fields in which the corn was wormy. Great care should be exercised in choosing the corn fed to horses. Oft en it is not thoroughly cleaned by flaming.
 There are too many moldy grains which are too heavy to be separated from the sound corn in this way. The safest method is to pour the shelled corn into water and skim of and throw away all the part that rises to the surface

RULES FOR DIPPING SHEEP
Animals Should Be sheared at One Time and Immediately After
 Treated to Sulphur Solution.

The following ten rules should bG observed in dipping sheep:
 l. Select a dip containing sulphur. IT prepared dip is used which does not contain sulphur 1t is always safer to add about 161s pounds of sifted flower of sulphur to every 100 gallons of water, especially If after dipping the sheep have to be returned to the old pasture.
 z. Shear all the sheep at one time and immediately after shearing con- dne them to one-half the farm for two 70 four weeks. Many persons prefer to dip immediately after shearing.
 5. At the end of this time dip every sheep and every goat, also if there are any on the farm.
 4. Ten days later dip the entire flock second time.
 b. After the second dipping place the flock on a portion of the farm from which they have been excluded during the previous four or five weeks.
 6. Use the dip at temperature of 100 to 110 degrees.
 z. Keep each sheep in the dip two minutes by the watch, do not guess at the time. and duck its head at least once.
 s. Be careful in dipping rams. as they are more liable to be overcome in the dip than the ewes.
 g. Injury, however, may result to pregnant ewes, which must on this account be carefully handled. Some farmers arrange stage with sides to hold the pregnant ewes, which is lowered carefully into the vat and raised after the proper time
 1O. In case patent or proprietary | dip, especially an arsenical dip. is used, the directions given on the | should be carried out to the etter.
