HIGH COST or LIVING.
Things That Are Mere Comforts Now
Used to Be- Luxuries.

No economist has put enough empha
sis on the fact that If the cost of living
- higher now 1t is to d large extent
because the average man is demanding
more comforts and luxuries. aud these
must cost more Before the days OF
plumbing and bathrooms the workman
missed some onerous bills, but he is
not ready to throw the plumbing out
of the house
OH is cheaper for light than electric
ity, but people pay more for a modern
light because they want the better
service even at the higher prices.
Workmen by the thousands have phon.
ographs, form of entertainment I'M
known until very few years ago.
Even street cars are rather new
thing, and the poorest families spend
many dollars every year for this serv-
ice, which has become Indispensable.
Magazines are purchased now by many
people who ten years ago had never
subscribed for such publication.
Thousands of articles are for sale in
every department store, of which a
large percentage are purchased ut some
time or other by the average wage
earning family.
Modern living does cost more as
suredly. but 1t also yields more.-Mil-

succumbed to infectious diseases like an
thrax, hog cholera, blackleg, tuberculo-
sis, ETC., are charged with myriads of
yirulent 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
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 a proper way,
are source of danger. Left on the sur
face Of the ground their odor soon in
vites scayengers to congregate and to
bring with them the infectious material
with which they may have become con-
taminated 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 diff
cult and laborious and requires large
quantity 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 a 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 scaven-
gers 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
prevents the multiplication
Of disease germs, but many kinds of dis
ease germs are not killed or deprived of
their pernicious possibilities by exposure
to 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
die, but they should in
,ist on the proper disposal of the bodies
If all animals which die anywhere in the
regions in which their farms are located.

SPEED or A STAR.
With Thought That Points Moral
to Impatient Humanity.


There is star-a reddish star known
as Arcturus-that Is travelling at the
rate of $50 miles a second. and what
is interesting about it Is it is coming
this way and will come for many
years, but 1t Is so far away that Ii
doesn't seem to have any motion at
all 1t is in exactly the same spot, so
far as our vision is concerned, where
it was century ago.
There is another star known as the
runaway" whose speed is twice that
of Arcturus-that Is, 1t could sweep
across Ohio in second of time.
We refer to this fact that the gentle
reader may understand how insignifi
cant are the little concerns of life that
tear his patience into tatters and turn
the world into woe. Long after he has
gone Arcturus will be travelling 1856
miles second and to all appearances
not budging an inch. How modest and
patient should this touch of near In.
finity make us ALL And yet, as Ten.
nyson says:
We cannot be kind TO each other here for
an hour.
We whisper and hint, and chuckle and
grin at a brothers shame.
However, we brave II out: we men are
little breed.

DISPOSAL OF DEAD ANIMALS.
Burying or Burning of All Carcasses Will
Reduce Spread of Infectious Disease.

Often when animals die on the farm
no disposal is made of their carcasses
other than to drag them into field or a
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 cannot be too severely
condemned, because it contributes seri-
ously to the dissemination of disease
germs and the perpetuation of infections
diseases.
