TYPHOID is controlled largely
4 today by proper control of food
supplies, milk and water through
municipal agencies. 1t is difficult,
however, to eliminate the source
from which food, water and milk
may be contaminated when the
contamination is caused by a hui
man carrier.
If typhoid fever is to be elimi-
mated entirely, the possibility Of
continuous spread of the disease
from the human carrier must be
prevented.
In Chicago from April 1, 1890, to
April 1, 1892, there were 1872 deaths
from typhoid fever, representing
approximately $4,000 cases.
In Cleveland in January, 1903,
Notwithstanding that some knowl-
edge of typhoid and its control had

DUCK HUNTERS TO
HAVE MORE VOICE
IN FIXING SEASON

Signs already pointing to a diff
cult situation later ON this year
when the time comes for the De-
partment of Agriculture to lay down
regulations for the 1882 waterfowl
shooting season are said to be the
inspiration for Secretary Hyde's re-
cent announcement that the Advis-
ory Board, operating unde" the Mi
! gratory Bird Treaty Act between
the United States and Canada, will
be reorganized.
This advisory group has in the
past consisted of nationally known
sportsmen, naturalists, conserVa-
tionists and state game officials, APP
pointed irrespective of the territory
in which they lived. The secretary
plans to reorganiZe the board To
represent ten sections of the codn-
try, these sections to be defined ac-
cording to similarity of conditions
affecting migratory birds, and their
Representatives on the board to be
selected on recommendation of state
conservation officials in the areas.
Secretary Hyde will name number
of members at large"
According to officials of the Amer
lean Game Association, the move to
give the various states a closer rep
resentation in the forming of the
1892 regulations is desirable, as
each area will be better satisfied
with the rulings than many of them
were after the 1881 emergency short
season.
Some of the northern states re-
sented the federal 9O-day season al
lotted them on the basis that it
came too early for any shooting of
migratory birds. Illinois and Mis-
souri, have led the field in claiming
that no waterfowl shortage existed.
Officials of the Biological Survey,
basing their views on extensive OBJ
servation made in Canada and this
country both before and since the
short season, maintain that SER
ious shortage. of many of the most |
popular species of wild ducks is a |
fact. Large numbers of ducks re-
ported in states bordering main wa
tercourses have been forced to con-
centrate there by lack of water
elsewhere, officials hold
Conservationists are pointing out
that such concentrations merely |
prove that sportsmen must work
promptly toward restoration of wa
terfowl nesting, resting and feeding
areas.

did not know which of the three
policemen in the car hit Lee.
Henry b. Hornstein, Baltimore
pawn shop owner, identified a pistol
which, he said, he sold to Lee on
September 2, but the court refused
to admit it as evidence when Horn
stein could not read the serial num-
ber of the weapon. Hornsteiu said
Lee also bought special cartridges.
The pistol, the State contends,
was used to kill the two Davis chill
dren, after their parents had been
slain with the shotgun.
James Fapsitt, colored, of Ocean
City, said he saw Lee with the pis-
tol and Lee told him he lad bought
the special cartridges so that, "if he
ever shot anyone they would not
think the bullets were fired from his
gun.

TESTS SHOW GREAT DECREASE
IN TB CATTLE, SAYS OFFICIAL

The success of the nationwide
campaign to eradicate bovine tuber-
culosis has been due largely to the
determination on the part of the
public not to tolerate the presence
of such a dangerous livestock mall
ady. This is the opinion expressed
by DR.. A. e. Wight, in charge of tlI-
berculosis eradication for the U. s.
Department of Agriculture, at the
recent annual meeting of the U. S.
Livestock Sanitary Association, at
Chicago.
Referring to the results obtained
by the campaign, Doctor Wight gave
the following comparison: In the
15year period ended in 1908, 40O,-
900 tuberculin tests were applied
which disclosed an infection of 10
per cent. In the year 1881 alone
more than 13 million tuberculin tests
showed only is per cent infection.
This was at the rate of more than
million tests a month and is an
indication of the vast effort being
put forth to conquer tuberculosis
among cattle.
Tuberculosis eradication work
under the area plan continues to be
a satisfactory and practical method
of eXterminating the disease" Doc
tor Wight said. "Since the first Of
November, 1880, ZIG counties have
been added to the modified accred
tied area where the degree of infec-
tiOn has been found to exist to not
more than one-half of l per cent.
This makes a total of 1921 counties,
or nearly AZ per cent of the total
number of counties in the United
losis has been practically. eradi-
Gated"
Among other subjects discussed by
Doctor Wight were tuberculosis-free
stockyards and the interstate ship
ment of cattle. These problems, he
said, will be greatly simplified when
more of the cattle-producing coun-
ties can be placed in the modified
accredited area. Doctor Wright also
mentioned the elimination of tuber-
culosis from poultry flocks and the
reduction of Johne's disease or para
tuberculosis. related phases of the
eradication campaign which are inn
portant.
Those who attended the meeting |
were provided with a small may of |
the United States showing the lOca-
ton of all modified accredited areas |
that have been established up to No
vember l, 1881. A copy may be OBJ

STATIONARY SPRAY OUTFITS

One of the striking features in the
development of spraying with ma
chinery in the last few years has
been that of the stationary spray
outfit with pipe lines. Ten years
ago there were few more-or-less
improvised equipments of this sort
in the mountains of Virginia, in the
fat orange groves of Florida, and in
the level valleys of California and
Washington, but in recent years
plants have become rather more
common. Manufacturers are now
making special power plants with
double mixing tanks to supply the
demand for stationary outfits.
Sometimes the pipes are buried un-
der-ground and in other cases they
are run through the works OF the
trees. Many are used in level valley
orchards, but these stationary out
fits are particularly appropriate for
hilly orchards. In some mountain
orchards in Virginia the land is so
steep that fruit is carried to packing
sheds by slides or sleds instead OF
by wagons or trucks. In these orch
ards the stationary outfit solves the
spraying problem. The central
pumping plant may be located at a
spring up the mountai nabove the
orchard and lines of Finch to IA
inch pipe are laid with branches OF
smaller size and outlets at intervals
of two to three hundred feet along
the lines. With a 200-foot spray
hose and a pressure of more than
200 pounds, spraying is rapid and
easy regardless of rough ground. One
man stays at the plant, mixes the
spray, and keeps the pump running,
while one or more crews handle the
spray hose and nOzzles.
