Typhoid From Rural Districts.

The New York board of health has
reissued pamphlet by DR.. Charles F..
Goldman on the relative prevalence OF
typhoid fever in urban and rural dis.
tricts. In these vacation days it is i'm.
portant for city dwellers to realize
that, In the words Of DR.. Goldman.
"over half of the typhoid infections &C.
curing in the city of New York are of
rural origin"
That typhoid may be more prevalent
in cities than in the country, in pro.
portion to population, is neither here
nor there, for a single case of typhoid
on farm has been known to give rise
to more than three hundred cases in
New York city. The reason, of course.
Is that all the water and most Of the
food used in the city comes from the
country. + - ....t.>--.ss r.. ..4

PLANNING DRAINAGE SYSTEM
Should. Be Done With Same Care as
Other improvements.


Other Improvements.
The planning of drainage works
should be done with the same careful
ness that is bestowed on other i'm
provements When a large building
is to be constructed an architect is
consulted, plans are carefully drawn,
all the details are looked into, and
material is selected which will be.
suitable for the location, the climate
and the purpose for which the build
Ing should be used. During it's con-
struction inspectors see that the de-
tails are carried out and the require
ments of the specifications enforced,
regardless of the fact that the con-
tractor may be losing money and,
cheaper materials might be used. But
in drainage enterprises, the evidences
OF such care are too often painfully
lacking, even though the cost be as
great or greater than that of large
building. In many cases an engineer
is employed to stake out drain on a
route which has been selected only
because it is supposed to be- the
best one. No examination is made
for another route or outlet; the area
OF the watershed is not measured. AS
result, the size of the ditch is
determined by a mere guess. Time
may develop the fact that the best
route was not selected, that the ditch
was too large or too small, and conse-
quently does not perform the work
satisfactorily A ditch, being improp-
erly located, either does not drain all
the land it should or it is expensive
to construct and maintain. One that
is too large will not clean itself prop
erly; while one that is too small will
not carry the required volume of
water. T. Stewart, Agricultural
Engineer, University Farm, St. Paul.

reception

An exchange figured out the fact
that the United States ranked seven
teenth in farming efficiency of all the
countries of the GLOBE Taking as
basis the average world yield per
acre on staple crops which included,
corn, potatoes, wheat, rye, barley,
oats and practically everything with
the exception of cotton which was ex-
cluded on accound of it's confined
growth, it showed that sixteen cAun-
tries led our own.
Uusing the index figure 100 to in
dictate the average, Uncle Sans bat
ting average was only 1O8, contrast
ed, to his shame with the following:
Hungary, 113; Austria, 1870; France,
1913; Norway, 118; Sweden, Chile and
Canada, each 1856; Japan 1877; Egypt,
161; New Zealand, 1877; Denmark,
1853; Germany, 1863; United Kingdom
1T; Switzerland, 2O2; Netherlands
200, and little Belgium crowded to
the gunwales, 221.
At the beginning, none of these
countries had anything more in rich
ness Of soil. But while they have
been learning through the centuries
to farm with their minds as we'll as
with their hands, how many Americ-
ans, do you suppose, have been doing
as John Smith did up in the Red
River Valley Of North Dakota? A
writer in the Chicago Record-Herald
vouches for the story:
Thirty years ago, when Smith set
tied there, the wheat yield was con-
sidered way below par if it did not
run up to 80 bushels an acre. AS for
the rich loan, it seemed inexhaus-
tible-you could hardly dig to the
bottom of it. So John skinned the
cream and took little thought for tn
morrow. Today he is having trouble
to get an average yield of Is bushels
to the acre( and is thinking OF
quitting this gosh-danged place.
and hiking into northwestern Canada
But it was all Johns fault. He
has actually let $388.60 of value pei
acre slip through his fingers in 80
years by his neglect to put back some
of the fertility ofwhich he was sc
ghtlessly robbing as fine soil as
the sun ever shone on.
Better send your boy to an agri-
cultural school. The next generation
Will have the job of correcting Johns
mistakes. .-s. il.

output was 80 barrels for the year
but the value of the product has In
creased to S26,451, ,767 in 1871 and to

tion Of coal IN Indian Territory was

ly every year until 1903, when II
amounted to 3,517,SSS tons. At that
time the influence OF petroleum and of
natural gas began to be felt. and coal
production has since remained practl-
cally stationary. With the decreased
