When active sanitation work was
commenced in Jerusalem last year it
was found that every fifth person in
the city had malarial germs in his
system, and that every third person
had an enlarged spleen. The chief
cause of the malaria were found to be
the open cisterns and the pools that
aboupded in the city and around about.
For the first time in centuries there is
a real checking of the mosquito plague
The canal tunnel leading from Marine
to the Rhine is being rebuilt at a cost
of 81, 000, 900, and the plan of procedure
is notably novel. 1t is necessary to re-
line the tunnel, and it is proposed to
do the work on alternate days. The
tunnel will be pumped out and for
twenty-fo hours the work will pro-
coed, after which the water will be al
lowed to proceed both ways. The tun-
pei has an inside section of twenty
eight feet.

Information For
Live Stock Raising

Atlanta, Feb. 26. How an av-
erage farmer, using ordinary
farm tools, at an expense of only
$65. 90, can construct a silo with
a capacity of IS tons, enough
silage to feed 20 COWS 40 pounds
per day for four months, is told
in a booklet just gotten out by
the Live Stock Department of
the Southern Railway, copy of
which will be mailed free to any
farmer addressing request for
same to Mr.. F. L. Word, Live
Stock Agent, Southern Railway
Building, Atlanta, Ga.
Where there is Live Stock on
the Farm there Should be a Silo, "
is the title of this booklet which
tells of the advantage to the far
mer of having a silo and the great
saving which enables him to
make in the cost of winter feed
ing for his live stock. The figures
given are taken from the practi-
cal experience of a Tennessee
farmer who built a silo on the
lines indicated twenty years ago,
who finds it as good as new to-
day, and feels that it has paid
for itself many times over every
year.
Secretary of Agriculture Will
son has recently declared that
the southeastern states constitute
the ideal section OF the United
States for live stock raising and
must be looked to in future years
for the nations food supply. To
stimulate interest to the live stock
industry and to aid farmers to
successfully follow this line, the
Southern Railway has established
it's Live Stock Department which
is giving individual attention to
this work.
