CBy GEORGE W. POPE. Veterinary In
spector. United States Department OF
AErlcultureD
In the work OF the bureau OF animal
Industry in dealing with infectious dis
eases of live stock II has been found
that the average stOckman and farmer
does not realize the Importance of thor
oughly disinfecting his premises fol-
lowing an outbreak of contagious dis
ease. There is apparently a widespread
lack OF information regarding the
germicidal power of various sub
stances, commonly termed disinfect-
euts. There is also a lack of knowl-
edge conceTa,-; practical and econ0, :
zeal methods OF proceeding with the
work OF disinfection. Moreover. the
temperance of contagious disease
on premises from which it was be-
lieved to have been eradicated may
frequently be traced to careless or i'm
perfect work in connection with the
cleaning and disinfecting of the place.
1t is but natural to acknowledge the
presence OF only such objects as can
be seen with the unaided eye. Science,
however, by means of the high-power
microscope, has clearly proved the ex-
istence OF numerous minute animal and
vegetable -microorganisms
and IL is a matter Of common knowl-
edge that many OF these organisms fire.
q"ently find their way into the animal
body and produce disease. II is also
we'll known that these micro-organ-
isms, or germs, vary in form and 9TH
er characteristics and that for each
disease of an infectious nature there
is specific germ.
The work of disinfection is based
upon our recognition of the presence
of disease germs, and disinfection
means the act OF destroying the cause
Of the infection. In other words, disin-
lection is a removal of the cause. and
1t will be clear to any practical man
that in dealing with disease any effort
which stops short of complete re
moval of the cause is most unwise and
Improbable. To those unaccustomed
to the work. disinfection may seem q
most complicated process. Any ap-
proved method. however, is compare
lively simple when carried out care

TOWNS THAT MAKE MONEY

pal Easy Street Through Exercise
Of Scientific Forestry.

San Diego, Cal. Is said to be the
first American city to take up scien-
tihc forestry as municipal enter
prise. The city owns 1000 ACRES
OF waste land, heritage from the
time when it was a Mexican pueblo.
This tract is now set aside for grow
ing eucalypti, and last spring 10000
seedlings were planted.
Eucalyptus is very valuable and
takes the place OF many OF the more
familiar hardwoods that are becoming
so expensive; 1t grows with truly trop-
ical rapidity: 1t will stand an enor-
nous amount of cutting and seems to
thrive under 1t, and a grove once well
started apparently will last forever.
In San Diego. says the Survey. the
more optimistic taxpayers are looking
forward to a time when the forest will
relieve them OF all taxes and perhaps
even pay them for being citizens OF
San Diego! They are not the only
people in an American city to be con-
graduated on doing good municipal
business.
July 6, 1911. the Detroit house Of
correction passed its fiftieth milestone.
During the last 81 years over $1,000
600 in profits were turned over to the
city OF Detroit to the families OF pris-
oners and to the prisoners themselves
Since 1880 the city of Detroit has an
nually received sums ranging from
S9.016.S3 to $52.711.64
The original expenditure by the city
OF S1S9,S41.36 has been turned back
into the treasury OF the municipality,
the institution has paid its own way
and IL &c so years show a fine bal.
ance OF S1.254.17S.15. In addition to
this showing. the prisoners since July.
1901. have been receiving financial
benefits ranging from $5.95S.14 to 49,
670.3S annually.
In addition TO amounts paid the pris-
oners. some OF which are sent by the
men to their families, provision is also
made for the families OF those who
are imprisoned on the charge of aban-
donment. This is accomplished under
statute which provides that $3.50 a
week for the wife and an additional
! 80 cents for each child under 10 years
of age be paid them out OF the funds
of the institution.

fully. although. like many another pro-
cedure, IT is one In which attention to
details counts for much. Ii is I'M
portant to bear In mind that the caus.
alive agents for many diseases are ex-
tremely small. and may remain for an
indefinite time in dust. cracks, and
creyices of buildings. so that efforts
aiming al the eradication of disease
from contaminated premises must be
thorough in order to be effective.
In the work of disinfection nature
has provided man with a most valu-
able ally-sunlight. 1t is we'll known
that the direct rays Of the sun are de-
structive to many forms of bacteria, in
ONE cases destroying them and In 9TH
ers lessening their influence Thus
the importance Of well-lighted stables
Is evident. The dark and sunless
building will be a favorable breeding
place for bacteria. and the structure
which admits the greatest amount CT
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 boil
ng water or in fame. II is upon this
principle that the surgeon before op.
