Sunshine n Germicide.

| ouhShiue is an amazingly potent
germicide for the farm housekeeper
and in the dairy and stables. The
practice OF exposing cooking and 9TH
er utensils used in connection with
food to direct sunlight makes use of
this fact. although comparatively few
| appreciate exactly the work done by
the sun in this regard. Probably only
those who are acquainted with the
tests which have actually been made
realize how quickly sunshine kills dis
ease germs exposed TO It. Hence the
Following tests may be generally in
structive and interesting:
A pasty. creamy mass of tubercu-
lous material. which was proved to
contain uncountable numbers of yir-
ulent tubercle bacilli, was obtained
from tuberculous cow and spread
in thin smooth translucent layers on
sheets OF glass. pieces OF wood. and
strips OF muslin. Some OF the sheets
OF glass, pieces OF wood. and strips of
muslin were then placed outdoors on
n moderately warm. clear. calm day
where the sun could shine on them.
and an equal number were placed in
a dark room. After 10 minutes expos-
ure to the sun, the tuberculous ma
terial on the glass. wood, and muslin
still contained large numbers OF liy-
ing' virulent tubercle bacilli. which
were proved to be fully capable OF
causing tuberculosis, but after 30 min
utes exposure to the sun no living
tubercle could be found: every test
that could be made proved that they
were all dead.
similar tests with quite large opa-
que masses of tuberculous material
larger and denser than any tubercu-
lous person is apt to expectorate
proved that the bacilli in such masses
on glass are still alive after 4, but en-
urely dead in less than hours. and
still alive in the material on wood
and muslin after s, but dead I'm less
than 16 hours.

Editor Argus;
IL appears from an edict passed by
the last session OF the County court,
that the taxpayers OF Portland district
| will be called upon TO vote upon a
bond issue TO the amount running
from two hundred and fifty to two
hundred and seventy-flvo thousand
dollars for the purpose OF building
good roads. Now. Mr.. Taxpayer, be-
fore you cast your ballot for or against
that measure, IL don't matter what
business you are in. IL you are a prop
erty holder. nor the amount OF taxes
you now pay. as Il is a fact we'll con-
ceded by all, they are high enough,
DO you suppose for an instant that
bond issue to that amount will have
a tendency To decrease the taxes now
imposed upon the people. When the

that don't own machines. Say three

Measures of Farm Efficiency.

There are certain factors on which
the success OF farm business usual
ly depends. From these it is usually
possible to determine not only the
good points in system of farming but
also its deficiencies The latter being
known the method of improving the
system becomes evident.
On great majority of farms. sue
cess is primarily dependent on three
important factors These are On the
size of the farm business; (2) the
yields OF the crops and the returns per
animal representing the quality of the
farm business; and CD the diversity
OF the business. or course many 9TH
er things have their influence. but the
farmer whose business IS efficient in
these three respects is generally sue
cessful. Those farms that are ex-
cellent In one OF these respects AL
most universally fail. Those deficient
In one or two may succeed, but their
chances Of success are greatly lessen
