DEAD ANIMALS SPREAD DISEASE

Often when animals die on the farm nc
disposal is made of their carcasses other
than to drag them into field or nearby
woods, where they are left on the surface
OF the ground to decompose or to be
eaten by buzzards, crows, dogs, and
other scavengers, or animals which feed
on carrion.
This practice can not be too severely
condemned, because it contributes
seriously to the dissemination of disease
germs and the perpetuation of infectious
diseases.
The carcasses of animals which have
|succumbed to infectious diseases like
anthrax, hog cholera, blackleg, tuber-
culosis, etc., are charged with myriads
of virulent disease germs, and just as long
as they remain where scavengers can
reach them and portions of them can be
carried away promiscuously, they are a
dangerous menace over large territory
to all animals which are liable to be at
tackled by disease germs. Even carcasses
of animals which have died from other
causes than infectious diseases, unless
they are disposed of in proper way, are
asource of danger. Left on the surface of
of the ground their odor soon invites
scavengers to congregate and to bring
with them the infectious material with
which they may have become contami-
mated by eating carrion elsewhere.
Dead animals on the farm should be
buried deep enough to prevent them
from being dug up again, or they should
be burned. To burn large carcasses like
those of dead horses and cattle is difficult
and laborious and requires large guam
tity of fuel. In most instances it is
more economical to bury them. All
animals which have died of infectious
diseases and are buried should be covered
with heavy layer of lime before the
graves are closed.
In the winter, when the ground is
frozen, it is more difficult to dig graves
than at other seasons of the year, but it
is just in cold weather that disease germs
remain alive and virulent longest in dead
organic matter and that scavengers
travel the longest distances, have the best
appetites, and are most likely to carry
disease germs on and in their bodies.
The extra trouble of digging graves in the
winter is easily offset by the greater
danger it counteracts. Low tenn
perature prevents the multiplication of
disease germs, but many kinds of disease
germs are not killed or deprived of their
pernicious possibilities by exposure to a
lower temperature than the lowest
reached during an icy, arctic winter.
Everywhere farmers not only should
attend to the proper and safe disposal of
the bodies of their own animals which UNI
fortunately die, but they should insist on
proper disposal of the bodies of all ami
mails which die anywhere in the regions
in which their farms are located.

There is nothing so destructive to

HUGE SUMS SPENT FOR CHEWING
GUM.

Washington.-The chewing gum
habit has cost the American people for
chicle alone nearly $4,000, 900 in the
last ten years, or almost five times as
much as We paid Russia for Alaska,
according TO figures furnished by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce of the Department Of Commerce.
Normally our annual imports OF
chicle amount to 100000 pounds, for
which we pay about S2,5OO,OOO in the
countries of origin, and TO which must
be added customs duties in our own
ports of about $75O,0OO,
Imports of chicle gum during the
fiscal year 1915 were as follows: From
Mexico. 2.l97,OOO pounds; from Cana
da, 2,1Sl,OOO pounds; from British
Honduras, 1,139.OOO pounds; from Ven
ezuela, $4,000 pounds; from the Cen
trail American republics. 10000 pounds
and from all other countries, 5000
pounds. Chicle is not produced in
Canada, but large quantities from 9TH
err British possessions are handled
through the dominion In 1913 the to-
tai imports of the gum amounted to
1S.75s,OOO pounds. and that is the rec
ord importation for any one year. In
1915 the total was 100000 pounds.
Chicle is the dried milky juice of
the sapodilla tree, which is one of
large family Of tropical trees known
as bully-trees. Some of the gum is
used as substitute for gutta peroha.
but the bulk of il is used In the manu-
facture of chewing gum.

INTERESTING STORY OF 500 BILL.

In the April American Magazine we
read the following:
Mrs. Davis came into possession of
"a 800 bill Pricing this money be-
cause it was the first she ever earned,
she kept the original bill in her pos
session most of the time on her person.
Only a short time before her death
were her relatives aware that she still
had the bill.
when a little girl, 3 years old, she
deposited so in a savings bank and
received a PASS book. She carried this
book with her for seventy-fve years.
Three weeks before she died she told
her grandson she was curious to know
If the bank was still doing business
and what had become of her $40 de-
post. A letter giving the number of
her pass book. the amount of the de-
post and her maiden and present
name, was written. Just one week
from the day the letter was posted a
reply was received to the effect that
the deposit, together with the accrued
interest for seventy-five years,
amounted in all to $32565: was in the
bank for Mrs. Davis.
Had she deposited the 800 bill with
savings bank paying per cent in
terest COMPOUNDED quarterly, the prin-
cipal and interest would have amount
ed to the handsome sum of $6O1 SO
The 800 bill would have earned for
her five other 800 bills.
"Her investment: at years of age
multiplied itself for her thirty-one
times. Her sentiment at the age of
80 persisted in for forty-five years,
deprived her of many comforts in her
old age which the 5000 would have
provided"

a caldron of boiling oil at Rome and

women who feel as though they could

Mrs. Carriers experience. She says:-

FERTILIZERS FROM MUNICIPAL,
WASTE,

Washington, d. CA survey of the
nations resources in fertilizer mater
ials has drawn attention to the large
supply of these to be found in the &C
emulation of garbage in cities. This
waste material contains nitrogen
phosphoric acid and potash, which are
recognized as essential to the produc-
ton of large crops. Valuable as these
elements are to the farms of the coun-
try, the garbage in which they are
found Is a source of trouble and ex-
pense to the cities. 1t seems, there
fore, that this garbage can be dis
posed of most advantageously by re-
turning it to the soil in the form of
fertilizer.
In cities of 100000 people or more
the reduction Of garbage by methods
which furnish a residue fit for fertil-
izer use has proved to be a profitable
municipal enterprise, and in smaller
communities it might be well self-sus-
tanning Numerous analyses of raw
garbage show that, on the average,
grease constitutes 3.5 per cent; and of
the fertilizer ingredients poatsh, 0.3
per cent; bone phosphate, 1 per cent,
and nitrogen in the form of ammonia,
per cent. On this basis the value of
a ton Of raw garbage is about IS, the
grease being worth SO and the fertil-
izer ingredients about 50.
Since the grease is of more value
than the fertilizer, the reduction pro-
cess is primarily designed to recover
the grease There are three principal
methods of doing this. The garbage is
cooked and steamed and then pressed
dry and decreased in gasoline Or,
the garbage is dried directly in rotary
hot air kilns and then DECREASED in
gasoline; or it is dried and DECREASED
in one operation.
As raw fertilizer contains 40 per
cent water and S.5 per cent grease, the
yield of the tankage residue or fer
tilizer should be about 25 per cent
Thus. four tons of raw garbage should
be made to yield one ton of dried tank
age and $12 worth of grease. In the
retail market the dried tankage sells
for about $40 a ton and at wholesale
for $3.50 There has been no great
fluctuation in these prices for some
time. In actual practice, however, the
percentage Of tankage obtained is not
usually 20 per cent.
At present, however, only six cities
in the United States operate their own
reduction plants, and about 20 send.
their garbage to privately owned
plants. These produce in the course
of year 100000 tons of tankage or
fertilizer, made from 1,045,00 tons of
raw garbage. If all of the 1879 cities
of the United States which have a.
population of 10000 or over should
adopt this method of garbage disposal,
the total yield should be from 637500I
tons to 937,5OO tons of fertilizer per
year. This would be worth from $4,-
100000 to 100000. Additional fer
tilizer material could also be obtained
in the cities from dead animals, street
sweepings and stable manure.
This subject, specialists in the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
believe, merits careful consideration,
because it will be of advantage both
to the American farmer and to the
cities from which he obtains his fer
tilizer.
