SANITATION AND TUBERCULOSIS

SANITATION AND TUBERCULOSIS.

/ wish 10 write d protest at the re-
ported removal OF the visiting nurse
for tubercular cases. From my per-
sonal observation I have seen the inn
provement in the sanitary conditions
Of places where she visited patients,
and I think it a menace to the health
OF the community 10 remove the nurse,
as the consumptive people need to be
taught how to avoid exposing well
people to the disease with which they
are afflicted. as well as how to live
so as to give themselves the best
chance for recovery. The carelessness
in regard to prOmiscuous eXpectora-
ton by tubercular people is really ap-
palllng- Too many eXpectorate on pa
pers which they throw carelessly aside,
instead of burning.
1t is a known fact that the germs
OF tuberculosis when dry can be car
ried about in the air or dust and ex-
pose the general public to the disease,
or they are transmitted by flies In
my neighborhoOd, there are several
cases, one where the patient was con-
fined TO the bed amidst sanitary condi-
lions that were very bad, and the i'm
provement the visits of the tubercular
nurse wrought were great At her in
StructiOns all the sputum eXpectOrated
was burned and the germs with it,
instead of sowing germs broadcast as
before she came. Do not let the visit
ing nurse go, for the results of her
work viii benefit the well people of

cularly afflicted.

FARMER LEADS ALL

1t is not new, but still it is worth
repeating, that the farmer is the most
important man in the industrial
world. He not only feeds everyone
else, but he produces all the materials
with which to clothe them, and many
of those with which to house them.
1t is on agriculture that the pros
perity of this country is founded, and
therefore it is only natural that the
politicians should seek the welfare of
the farmers. Probably the Depart
ment of Agriculture is the most bene-
ticial branch of the government, as it
continually working to tell how to
produce better, bigger, and more
varied crops. Oranges. raisins,
lemons, dates, figs, almonds, walnuts
olives and many other things have
been added to our list of productions
in recent years. Tea is now being
grown in this country. Coffee is pro.
duced in our island possessions. And
while seeking new products, the gov
ernment scientists have taught the
farmer how to produce more corn and
wheat, and better live stock.

GOOD INCREASE IN VALUATION.

Between six and seven million dol
lars is the estimated increase In as
sessed valuation of the state over last
year, since the assessment board has
completed its work. s
The total for last year was $685.
5s2, ,525, and the total Is expected to
go to $3.50, ,oOO, 900 this year. This In
crease is principally on real estate
with slight increase on railway prop
erty. The personal property figures,
especially on live stock, will show q
falling off. This is on account Of the
settlement of the western part Of the
state restricting the range and forc-
ing the closiug ont of the large herds,
and the further fact Of the drouth IN
the ranges last year, compelling the
shipment of many herds down to the
point where feed could be secured to
carry them through.

STAR GAzERs TO BE BUSY

The lengthening nights of the pres
ent month promise to be unusually
frightened by meteoric displays.
One of the most spectacular met
eoric displays of regular annual oc-
currence is now due and should be-
come most conspicuous within six or
eight days.
This great stream. long known as
the Perseids, because radiating from
the constellation Perseus, follows the
orbit of a comet discovered by Swift
in 1872, of which it is presumably the
remnant. AS the earth passes through
this extended swarm of tiny celestial
travellers the falling stars which en-
ter our atmosphere are distinguish
able by their yellowish color and
moderate rate of motion.
Star-gazers without glasses are
sometimes disappointed by the
fewness of the Perseids visible
when there is an excess of moonlight,
but it will be otherwise this month,
as the full moon does not occur until
the 9th.

NEW COUNTIES ENTERpR1sING

Among the counties in the north
western part of the state which will
make exhibits at the state fair are
Butte, Harding, Perkins and Ziebach.
These are all new counties, and Hard
ing is one of the few counties left in
the state which has no railway within
it's borders. They were all in the
dry section last year, but are coming
out of their troubles in fine shape
this year, and as result are anxious
to show to the people who attend the
fair that the loss of crop of last year
was only an incident, and that they
can "come back" in good shape this
year with products which they feel
will make the residents of the older
counties take an interest in.

MOISTURE FOR LARGE TRACT

What can be done in the way of ir-
rigation with Missouri river water is
shown in the farm being operated
just east of this city this year by the
Suburban Acreage company. They
are handling large acreage of pota-
toes and corn, but most of their tract
of 200 acres is in alfalfa, which is in
bloom for the second crop. The first
cutting was taken off several weeks
ago, and the second will be q seed
crop. The condition of their corn
when compared with other fields in
the same vicinity, on which no water
has been used, marks the decided
difference in favor OF the use of wat
or. Their potatoes are fine crop,
and they are testing out the possibil-
tiles of raising sweet potatoes in the
the sandy soil near the river with
about an acre of this crop. They
pump water directly from the river
with an eight inch centrifugal pump
run by gasoline engine, and two
men handle the water used.
just east of this tract irrigation has
just started on the government Indian
school farm. Their plant takes water
from a we'll sunk about three thous.
and feet back from the river, and it
is distributed over the farm through
closed cement pipe, the pipe having
been manufactured at the school.
Valves are located at points on the
pipe line, allowing the water to flow
out at the higher points for distribu-
tion, and the water is pumped from
the we'll into small concrete stand
pipe from which it flows into the sup
ply pipes. This plant is operated
with a gas engine which secures gas
from the artesian we'll at the school,
and is In charge of boy from the
Indian school, with no cash outlay
for power or attention. While the
plant was completed so late this year
as to only now be ready for use, it is
in shape for beginning operations
early next season on the two hundred
acre farm it covers.

has prepared list of figures showing
that President Taft cannot be re-elect-
ed and asserting that in the event Of
a deadlock in the electoral college Sec
retary Knox might be chosen to succeed
President Taft.
The candidate elected by the elector-
al college must get at least 268 votes.
Mr.. Redenberg gives Taft 1916 votes.
Wilson 2lO and Roosevelt 81. Here IL
the way Mr.. Rodenberg figures it out:
Under the new apportionment there
will be 531 votes in the next electoral
college and majority, or 266 votss,
will be necessary to elect president.
The states which are reasonably sure
to cast their electoral vote for Woodrow
Wilson are the following: Alabama 12,
Arizona 8. Arkansas 9, Florida 6, Gesr-
gia IA, Indiana Is, Kentucky Is, Louis
lana 10, Maryland 8, Mississippi To-,
Missouri l8, North Carolina IL, New
Jersey ~ Oklahoma 10. South Carolina

dent Taft are the following: Connccti-

ANY transfer from the Taft column
to the Roosevelt column will not mater

SUMMARY FOR JULY, 1912

United States Department of Agri-
culture. Climatolofical Service of the
Weather Bureau, ,SoIth Dakota Section.
Huron, S. D., August 10. 1912. = The
weather in South Dakota during July,
1912 was on the whole favorable for
agriculture and other interests. A gen.
erous amount of rainfall, in the aggre-
gate. during the first decade, was verv
favorable to all vegetation needing
moisture at the clsse of June, and sub
sequent weather conditions were also
generally favorable. With but three
exceptions-in 1900, 1908 and 19O6-the
average precipitation for the state dur
ing the month was the greatest for
July in % pears. While there was
some local injury sustained from hail,
there was no extensive damage from
cause
The mean temperature for the state
was 700 degrees, or slightly below the
normal for the month. The highest
temperatures recorded ranged from lO4
degrees at Harding rove, on the 22d, to
sc degrees at Lead, on the 18th. The
lowest temperatures recorded ranged
from 32 degrees at Pollock, on the 18th,
to so degrees at Sisseton on the same
day. AT seven stations the highest
temperature recorded was 100 or more
degrees Comma red with ths records
of % preceding years, there have been
seven with lower mean temperature,
seventeen with higher maximum and
one with lower minimum temperature
in July.
The average precipitation for state,
86 inches, was about .25 inches above
the normal for the month. The local
monthly amounts for the current July
ranged from 802 at Sisseton, to LOS
inches at Ottumwa.
There was an average of IA clear, IL
party cloudy and FIVE cloudy days. and
an average of ten days on which 0.O1
inch or more of precipitation occurred.
The prevailing direction of wind was
from the southeast. The average hour
ly velocity, determined from the records
of the regular Weather Bureau stations
at Huron, Pierre, Rapid City and Yank-
ton was so miles.
