FOOD, FINGERS AND FLIES.
Three Of the Factors Most Active In
Spreading Disease.

Three Of the Factors Most Active In
Spreading Disease.
There are three principal ways In
which disease germs are carried from
person to person. and these ways may
be easily remembered by three catch
wOrdS-foOd, fingers and flies.
The most important foods which car
~ disease are those which are eaten
raw. since thorough cooking destroys
are only dangerous when they have
been infected In the kitchen after cook
ing. Among raw foods, too. many, like
oranges. are safe because they are
peeled before eating.
or all foods the most dangerous are
water and milk, because they are Of
ten polluted (by sewage in the case Of
water. by human contact in the cast
Of milk, because they are drunk
promptly without time for the disease
germs to die out and because. usually
in the case OF water and often in the
case of milk, they are not cooked.
The second way In which disease
germs are commonly spread Is by
means OF contact between people them
selves. Fingers. in the catch phrase.
which all who value their health should
try to bear in mind. stands not only
for the fingers themselves. but for all
sorts OF ways in which disease germs
may be exchanged.
In measles and w%hooping cough and
scarlet fever and diphtheria and tuber-
culosis and many other diseases the
germs are present in the nose and
throat and are spread from person to
person by the fingers. which go too Of
ten to the mouth md nose, by drink
ing cups and spoons and other things
which too often are used in common
and by the fine spray thrown out from
the mouth in coughing and sneezing.
In typhoid fever and diarrhea and sim
liar diseases the germs are found in
the intestinal discharges. aud here. too,
soiled fingers play IN important part
in the transmission OF the disease.
The third common way in which dis
ease germs are spread is by means Of
insects. Flies are perhaps the most
important insect germ carriers in most
states. They often pick up infected
material on their legs and bodies and
carry it to food, and where there is no
good system of sewage disposal they
may play a part in the spread OF such
diseases rs typhoid fever. A certain
kind of mosquito carries malaria, and
this. too. is important in certain dis
tricts. In tropical countries a whole
host Of diseases is carried by insects

: GROWING LATE CABBAGE. ;

Many farmers. do mot have a supply
Of late cabbage for winter because
they neglect starting plants in mid
summer for the fall crop. Cabbage is
one Of the easiest vegetables to grow
N the garden. A large patch should
be set out late each summer, and the
surplus may be sold or used for win
ter green poultry food. It is also very
easy to keep through the winter.
Cabbage seed for the late crop may
be sown any time in July, sowing in
a rather moist and shady place. BY
mixing some sand with the soil in
clined to be heavy the young plants
Will come out of the soil In a better
shape for transplanting. The crop
may be planted in the truck patch
where an early crop of beans or peas
has been growing. Replow the ground
before planting and fertilize well with
decomposed COW or other stable ma
nure. Work the soil down with a har-
row and disk to a very fine and firm
seed bed. Have the rows from three
TO four feet apart to admit Of eultva-
ton with horse tools. AS soon as a
rain comes after the soil has been pre-
pared set the young plants in rows
about two feet apart, watering for the
first two or three days, or until the
roots begin to take hold Of the new
soil. Begin cultivation almost as soon
as the crop is set out and continue
during the growing period.

SPRAY FOR PEACH LEAF CURL

Cause of Disease Duo to a Funaous
Prepared by tho New York State Colleee
of Agricultural
Peach leaf curl was very common
last year throughout the peach growing
sections of the state, and many sprayed
orchards were badly affected ever
when, as was claimed, the application
was very thoroughly made. AS a re.
suit Of last years epidemic of this dis.
ease many inquiries have come to the
State College Of Agriculture at Cornell
about methods of control during the
present year.
The cause of the disease is not the
weather, as has been believed by some,
but is due, according to the college au-
thor1t1es, to a fungous parasite which
lives in the affected parts Of the tree.
1t Is supposed that the spores of this
fungus are harbored through the win
ter on the twigs, and especially on the
hairy bud scales. When the buds swell
IN the spring the tender leaves within
are exposed, and if rain comes at the
right time the spores terminate and
penetrate the young leaves, where the
fungus finds favorable conditions for
its development. The spores are pro-
duced later In the season on the dis
cased leaves and probably find their
way to the dormant buds, where they
remain till the following spring.
The three important factors to con-
slider in the control Of the disease, the
experts say, are time Of application,
thoroughness of application and mate
rial applied. The application should be
made before the buds begin to open,
because ut this time under favorable
weather conditions the infection takes
place.
After this has occurred subsequent
applications to prevent the disease this
year are useless. Select the first bright,
warm day for the application. Many
persons sprayed too late last year..
The spray material used should come
in contact with every bud, for the fun
gOus spores are sticking to the buds,
and these must be hit by the spray
mixture in order to have perfect con-
troll. A line spray under high pressure
is most satisfactory. Some failures Of
last year were due to too much hurry
in the application
The disease is readily controlled by
each Of several fungicides. Lime-sul-
phur solution Testing 80 degrees Baume)
diluted with water in the proportion of
one part solution to eight yards Of wa
ter should be used when both San Jose
scale and leaf curl are to be controlled.
When scale is not present use lime-sul-
phur solution at a dilution of one part
lime-sulphur to fifteen parts of water
or bordeaux mixture in the proportion.

pounds Of lime and fifty gallons of wa

WAR FARMING.

Women Work In Fields. In. the British
Isles.
The shortage Of farm, labor I'm Eng
land is causing increasing unrest in az.
ricultural circles.
In some cases the scarcity of farm
hands is not so serious as the lack of
horses. The lack of male Labor Is be-
ing filed SO far as possible by the use
of female and child labor.
In the dairy and in the care Of small
stock it is likely that male labor will be
almost entirely dispensed with. Much
Of the lighter field work also is being
done by women, and in the market gar
dening districts they may be seen in
large numbers at such tasks as weed
ing and setting plants. On some Of the
smaller holdings they have even under
taken the rougher work of blowing and
cultivating.
Some Of the agricultural colleges
have organized short courses of in
struction for women who are willing to
enter farm work. The course Of In
struction includes milking, dairy work,
live stock, poultry, preparation of land,
use OF tools, planting and cultivation
The course reviews eight hours work
daily for fourteen days.

BY FRANK KOESTER.
[Author of "Electricity For the Farm and

Flowing is the father Of Industries,
