How to Prepare a Useful Dis
infectant.

Chloride of Lime II 10.
Water IL gal.
Mix the water and chloride Of
lime thoroughly and keep in an
earthenware jug.
Chloride Of lime is very cheap
and can be bought at any drug
or department store.
Pour plenty of this disinfectant
on all discharges from the bow
els, kidneys and mouth of the ty-
phoid patient. Be sure that the
disinfectant is thoroughly mixed
with these discharges.
All linen worn or used by the
typhoid patient should be soaked
in a solution of carbolic acid and
water for two hours and then
boiled. 4
To make carbolized water. mix
five ounces of carbolic acid with
one gallon Of water. Keep solu-
ton in bottle, away from chill
dren. Mark the bottle poison.
The typhoid patient should have
his own plates, cups, spoons,
knives and forks. They should
be boiled after use.-Bulletin of

. On that you did.
Typhoid Fever and it's Prevention.

y
Typhoid Fever is disease
brought about by the growth OF
small germs in our digestive sys-
tenn, and they are so small that
they can be seen only with the
aid Of the microscope. As to
what the disease means to US when
we get it, quite a number Of us
can testify, as hardly family has
missed having a case. Its an eX-
pensive disease, and in more ways
than one do you realize it: its a
matter of from six to eight weeks
sickness.
About $4,000 die Of this disease
annually in these United States,
and possibly 225,00O more in the
same length of time contracted
the disease. Yet it is a disease
you can avoid taking; it is alb
solutely preventable. All the
misery and hardship that neces-
sarily follows is unnecessary, and
means for preventing it's occur
ence are at our disposal.
The disease is contracted in
THE following manner: Drink
ing water or water used in pre-
pairing uncooked food may be
polluted. The contents Of poorly
constructed privy vaults and
sewers, and human discharges that
are left on the ground, find their
way into wells, etc., with the re-
suit that the water is contaminat-
ed. The many typhoid epidemics,
in different parts Of the country,
that are brought about by drink
ing water, or using it as above
stated, containing human refuse,
show how easy it is for our water
supply to become unclean if the
necessary steps are not taken.
Whenever an efficient system of
water qualification is installed.
the number of cases are greatly
reduced In some cities the
death rate from typhoid fever
was reduced one-third when a
good water supply system was
installed. 1t becomes our duty
therefore to see that our water
is all it should be and to avail
ourselves Of any opportunity
that will afford this water.
Food, is too means by which
the disease gains entl ance into
the system Of new victims; and
this holds good especially when
foods are eaten in the raw condi-
ton. The disease have often been
traced to oysters which were TAX
en- from localities that were pol
luted, and to vegetables soaked
in or sprinkled with water that
was unclean. Care should be
taken especially in preparing
salads. It is out of the question
to suggest that only cooked foods
be eaten, but at the same time, if
there are any doubts as to clean
illness Of that which goes to make
up your meal, it is advisable that
the food be cooked.
Flies probably play the most
important part in carrying the
disease from one case to another.
The fly, as we all know, lives in
filth. The body Of a dead animal,
the manure pile, and the privy
vault are it's favorite haunts. It
alights upon the sputum of a per-
son suffering of tuberculosis, upon
the discharges of typhoid fever
patient, only to bring this infect
ed matter to our milk and other
food. For this reason too much
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1915-06-26

stress cannot be laid on the des-
truction of the fly. The free use
of lime cannot be too highly rec
commended as disinfectant to
aid in this work.
Absolute cleanliness on the
part Of all who come in contact
with a case Of typhoid fever is
essential if there is to be no
further trouble. The nurse
should never come in contact with
any food supplied to other mem
bers of the household. After she
handles the patient, her hands
should be thoroughly washed
with a strong disinfectant. All
the discharges from the patient
should be properly disinferted
and should be kept away from
flies. ALI table and other utensils.
bedclothing, and other materials
that have come in contact with
the case must be thoroughly
sterilizeJ by boiling or by other
means suggested by the physician.
knother way yet remains by
which healthy persons nay BE-
come victims of the disease. 1t
may be surprising TO some to
LEAN that certain people, healthy
in ev2~y respect apparently. ear
ry the germs Of typhoid fever
about with them in their mites
tines. These people are known
as typhoid carriers. Many eases
occur each year from this source.
About four per cent. of all per-
sons who suffer from typhoid
fever become carriers Of the germ.
Some have been known to have
the germ within them for many
years, and of course, were a con-
slant menace to those with whom
they came in contact. This is
especially true when such an in
dividual is employed in a kitchen,
dairy, bakery, grocery or other
place where food is handled.
AS stated in paper published
previously, the best way to treat
disease is to prevent disease; and
this holds good especially in ty-
phoid fever. The disease can be
prevented and there is no reason
why we should not take steps
looking to that end. Everybody
can help in this if they but will.
Your family physician will be
only too glad to assist you, and
you owe it to yourselves as well
as those dependent on you to
follow his advice.

HEALTH COLUMN.
Hints in Health Matters.

A stomach that is doing its
work properly is a valuable as
set. Why not try to keep it IN
good condition?
Most of us eat too much and
especially Of meat and condi-
mnts; try a little fruit and vege-
tables hereafter.
Other people have troubles of
their own; don't be telling them
yours. You can tell yours to a
doctor, but, of course he charges.
Its cheaper to be healthy and
happy after all, and too, you will
have more friends.
The surface closet should abb
solutelv be eliminated as a factor
in our necessities; it is anything
but what it should be, and a
source of Infection almost be-
yond belief.
We cannot expect to enjoy
health if we do that which is not
conducive to the desired end !;
look over your premises and see
if the situation is all it should be;
find the place from where those
flies come; find the cause Of that
odor that is anything but per-
fume; open the drain so that the
stagnant water may get away
look into the cistern and see If
it's needs cleaning, and if it does,
why clean it. The water you
drink should be as clean as the
food you eat.
Let your supper consist of cas-
ily digested food-don't punish
your stomach before you retire
and the next morning you will see
how different you feel. This isn't
a joke, it's an absolute truth.
Don't start the day by wonder
ing why you have such luck-in a
great measure we cause our own
troubles. You have good reasons
for being glad you are living;
think of the poor fellows in the
trenches in Europe. Happy
thoughts have a great deal to do
with the way we feel, and the
way we start the days work.
Screen your cistern and you
will have less mosquitoes; and we
all know what the mosquito
means. The little expense in
Cured is more than over bal
anced by the good results.
AS yet cistern water is the best
water available, but a dirty els
tern means dirty water, and water
unfit for drinking purposes means
sickness. Look to your water
supply.
Get rid of the fly and you will
have reasons for being glad you
did; if you cannot screen your
doors and windows you can use
the swatter," or better still,
the sticky" paper. But do YOUR
share in destroying the fy-don t
leave it to the other fellow to do.
Don't wait to hear from the
City authorities to clean the out
house; you know when the situa-
ton demands attention. Until
other means are had for the dis
posal Of this, each individual
home manager must assume the
responsibility which naturally is
his. s.1lS

clean; there will be less illness.

COST OF PRODUCING CROPS

The cost of producing the crops on
the North Dakota state demonstration
farms has been such as to leave good
margin of profit. In 1914 these costs
were: corn 81 cents per bushel; hard
wheat, so cents; durum wheat, IS
cents; oats, 81 cents; barley, SO cents;
potatoes, 16 cents; winter rye, IS
cents, oat and pea hay, $500 per ton;
alfalfa, 1926 per ton and corn fodder,
$4.S8 per ton. These costs include
land rent, horse and man labor, ma
chinery, in fact all costs of production.
1t will be noted that these costs of
production are in most cases about
half Of the market price These crops
were all grown in rotation as the
crops are rotated on the demonstration
farms. This means that each crop was
grown under conditions favorable to
it.
Had the crops been grown on the
continuous plan the costs per bushel
would have been greater and the prof
it's that much less.
1t will be noted that the cost of the
corn was but 81 cents. When fed to
live stock it should bring about twice
the market price, which shows that
there is money in corn on the North
Dakota farm. The cost of producing
the hard wheat was so cents. This
has varied from SO cents in 1910 to So
cents in 1912. The larger the yield the
less the cost per bushel.
1t is interesting to note that alfalfa
hay was produced at a cost of but
1925 per ton, while it's feeding value
is about the equivalent of bran, which
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1915-08-05

costs over $4,000 per ton. In fact it
was produced at less cost per ton
than the oat and pea hay and corn
fodder and it has good deal more
feeding value per ton.
The thing to keep in mind is that
these crops were grown in a rotation
otherwise the costs per bushel would
have been preater, and the greater the
cost per bushel, the less the profit.
The rotation of these crops has made
their production profitable.
The work of these demonstration
farms has all been done by the farm
er on whose farm it is located and
with the same machinery with which
the rest of the farm is worked. The
only difference is that the crops on
the demonstration farm is grown in a
rotation and the work carried out un-
der the direction of the superintendent
of demonstration farms.
