KILL INSECTS IN MILLS.


u
Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 8.-From
mill owners in California and West
Virginia requests have just come to
the department of milling industry in
the Kansas State Agricultural college
for information as to methods Of de-
stroying insects in mills.
The college at Manhattan is the only
educational institution in the United
States which has worked out sys-
tenn of mill fumigation, and informa-
ton concerning 1t has been sought
from all parts of the world. George
A. Dean. professor Of entomology. who
worked out the fumigation plans, adj
vocates heat as an insect destroyer In
all mills where it can be applied in
sufficient degree. A temperature of
100 degrees throughout the building
for period of five or six hours kills
both the insects and their eggs. Less
time Is required than when hydro
cyantc gas IL employed, and the heat
method Is more efncacious, besides
causing no danger to human life.

Commissioner Noll, of the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board. announced
that the foot-and-mouth disease has
been gotten under control In Washing
ton county, where the first outbreak OF
the disease appeared in the State. Six
herds in all were attacked by the
scourge throughout Washington coun-
ty and all of this stock has been
slaughtered and buried In lime. DR..
Thomas McKeown, of the Federal
Bureau of Animal Industry, completed
the disinfection of affected farms in
the county and the general belief Is
that there will be no more outbreaks
in Washington. The announcement
was also made that all diseased herds
in Montgomery county have also been
slaughtered and buried, and the last Of
the affected cattle Of Frederick was
disposed of.
tors of infected farms in the latter two
counties will be completed this week
and the Live Stock Sanitary Board will
then further ease up the quarantine in
many sections relative to the shipment
to Baltimore of live stock for imme-
diate slaughter.
The plan to be followed will be that
in every case where Maryland stock
owner has herd of cattle or hogs to
be shipped to the city for slaughter he
will notify the State live stock on
cials and veterinarian will be imme-
anime the stock. If the physician
pronounces the animals whole .
special permit will be issued to allow
the shipment.
Neither any positive or suspicious
cases of the foot-and-mouth disease

of the latter are growing more and
more optimistic over the situation,
though they are unwilling to predict
as yet that the scourge is under con-
troll throughout the State. There Is q

tions Of several counties owners may
be attempting to conceal the fact that
their stock has been attacked by the
disease.
With the full appraisements still in
complete, Secretary Melville, Of the
State board. announced that the in
fected cattle already slaughtered has
cost the State more than $4,000. The
State pays half the appraised value Of
the slaughtered animals and the Fed
eral government the other half The
above amount does not include the
other expenses the State has incurred
in fighting the disease, and when the
full cost Is figured up it is estimated
that the epidemic in Maryland will
have cost the State more than $4,000.
