known safeguard against this disease
has been thorough cooking of all pork
and pork products, and those persons
who neglect this precaution have always
been more or less exposed to the danger
Unless pork is known to have been sub
jected to refrigeration as above in
dicated, it should be thoroughly cooked.
The microscopic examination of pork
for the detection of trichnie has been
abandoned, as the usual methods have
proved inefficient.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that more swine we're slaughtered
in the past year in establishments under
Federal inspection than ever before. A
total of 36,247,958 were inspected at the
time of slaughter, and approximately
35, 100000 passed for food

in less than half an hour, though they
remain alive in dark places a month and
longer, it is reasonable to draw the fol-
lowing conclusions:
(a) AS a general sanitary principle
it is desirable that all dwellings, stables,
etc, should be so constructed that an
abundance of sunshine can reach their
interiors.
(b) AS a general protective measure
against disease germs, it is an excellent
practice to expose utensils for handling
milk, and milk cans after they have
been cleaned, to direct sunlight and to
hang or spread wearing apparel, blan-
kets, bedding, rugs, horse blankets, etc,
periodically where the sun can shine on
all parts of them.

GUARDING MEAT SUPPLY

More than 5S.OOO,OOO meat animals
were slaughtered in establishments un
der Federal inspection during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915 Since ap-
proximately from SO to 60 per cent of
the animals killed in the country are
slaughtered in establishments where
Federal inspection is maintained it ap-
pears that about 100,000000 meat ami
mails are now being killed each year in
the United States
OF the animals subjected to Federal
inspection, 299,958 were condemned as
unfit for human use and 644,6SS were
condemned in part. Thus a little more
than IL per cent of all the animals in
spected were condemned either in whole
or in part These figures include only
cattle, calves, sheep, goats, and swine
tuberculosis was the chief cause of
the condemnations. More than 1854
carcasses of cattle and $4,000 carcasses
of swine were entirely rejected on &C.
count of this disease, and in addition
parts of $4,000 cattle and 100000 swine.
Hog cholera was responsible for the
next largest loss, nearly 100000 swine
being condemned entirely on this &C
count
The annual appropriation for the Fed
eral meat-inspection service is now about
$3,375,OOO, so that the cost to the people
would be between and cents per
animal if the service was confined en-
tirely to the inspection of the animals
and carcasses. In addition however,
great quantities of the meat and pro-
ducts are reinspected In this item there
was a very considerable increase dur
ng the last fiscal year, the reinspection
'esulting in the condemnation of a total

SUNSHINE A eERMIcIDE

OONOT1INE ~ 0Eh wi ICIOE
Sunshine is an amazingly potent
germicide for the farm housekeeper and
in the dairy and stables. The practice
of exposing cooking and other 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 tests which have actually been
made realize how quickly sunshine kills
disease germs exposed to it. Hence
the following tests may be generally
instructive and interesting
pasty, creamy mass of tuberculous
material, which was proved to contain
uncountable numbers of virulent tu-
bercle bacilli, was obtained from a tu-
berculous 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 moderately warm,
clear, calm day where the sun could
shine on them, and an equal number
were placed in a dark room. After
Is minutes exposure to the sun, the tu-
berculous material on the glass, wood,
and muslin still contained large num-
bers of living, virulent tubercle bacilli,
which were proved to be fully capable of
tuberculosis, but after 80 min
utes exposure to the sun no living tu-
bercle bacilli could be found; every test
that could be made proved that they
were all dead
Similar tests with quite large opaque
of tuberculous material, larger
md denser than any tuberculous person
IS apt to expectorate, proved that the
oacilli in such masses on glass are still
alive after hours, but entirely dead in
ess than 8 hours, and still alive in the ,
on wood and muslin after 8,
tut dead in less than 16 hours
The tuberculous material in thin lay ,
rs on glass; wood, and muslin, kept in r
dark room, was proved to contain +
ully virulent, living tubercle bacilli
fter 80 days. The contrast is remarka-
lie, tubercle bacilli of the same kind,
n the same kind of material, dying in
smaller number of minutes in the sun O
hine than the number of days they re- h
lained alive in a dark room. D
As most varieties of disease germs ii
re more easily destroyed by germicides n
ian tubercle bacilli, and as tubercle a,
acilli, in the thin layers in which they
re likely to adhere to clothing blankets, W
lgs, draperies, furniture, walls, floors,
C., are killed by the rays of the sun NJ

MEASURES OF FARM EFFICIENCY

There are certain factors on which
the success of a farm business usually
depends. From these it is usually pos
sible to determine not only the good
points in a system of farming but also
it's deficiencies. The latter being known,
the method of improving the system
becomes evident.
On a great majority of farms, success
is primarily dependent on three impor-
tant factors. These are (1) the size of
the farm business; (2) the yields of the
crops and the returns per animal, rep
resenting the quality of the farm bust
ness; and (9) the diversity of the bust
ness. OF course many other things have
their influence, but the farmer whose
business is efficient in these three re-
spects is generally successful. Those
farms that are excellent in none of
these respects almost universally fail.
Those deficient in one or two may sue
coed, but their chances of success are
greatly lessened.
An average days work with a two
horse walking pillow is little less than
IL acres, while an average days work
for three-horse sulky pillow is between
and ~ acres.

Farm surveys show that the families
living on their own farms generally con-
ume more food per year than do fami-
les living on rented farms.

The annual value of the food used on
