Polluted Water Causes Much Typhoid --Get Your Drinking Water Test- ed -- Septic. 'Tank for Sewage Disposal. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toranto.) : ATER pollution is respons- {ible for many outbreaks 0 f typhoid fever. This is due to the fact that the} which the water supply is so easily contaminated if proper care is not 'taken to prevent stich contamination. Typhoid bacilli get into sewage from two sources, viz., typheid pa- tients or convalescents- and typhoid carriers. The excreta, both solid and liquid, from such individuals is liable to contain millions .of the typhoid bacilli, consequently anything that gets contaminated therewith, particu- larly food materials or water, is li- able to spread the disease. In connection! with the water sup- ply of towns and cities steps are us- ually taken by the authorities to see that seepage contamination does not occur or to see that the water is puri- fied should contamination take place, as it occasionally does, even when great care is taken to prevent it. Fre- quent bacteriological analyses. are made of such water supplies and these readily show the presence of sewage bacteria, should contamina- tion - occur. The water may look bright and clear and still have many sewage bacteria, including the 'ty- . phoid bacilli, present in it. If these are found the water is purified, us- ually by chlorination, In connection 'with the private water supply on tne farm and in t ' small rural comanunities where de- pendence is largely placed oin wells and springs as somrces of watar used for household Purposes, it is essen- tial that adequate measures 'be: taken . sources of supply. to prevent contamination of these Again and again outbreaks of ty- phoid fever have oecurred on farms where the well or Spry. ng from which the household water 'is obtained has become contaminated', In such cases confined to the farm,, as the contam- CHRONIS INDIGESTION A Much Teo Common Troube With Farm Horse:. Usually Due to Faulty Condition of the Teeth -- Symptoms Described --Pre scriptions and General Ad- vice as to Treatment--O0 ultivation of the Hoed Crops. (Contributed by Agricultu HRONIC indigestion, or indi- gestion without engorgement, is caused by improper food; *" imperfectly masticated food due! to the process of dentition or irregularities of the teeth, voracious feeding, irregularity in feeding, de- bility, or partial inactivity of the digestive glands. "Symptoms. --A capricious appetite, often a' tendency to eat filth, usually increased thirst, the animal becomes hide-bound and has a dry scurfy skin, irregularity of the bowels, gen- eral unthriftiness, dullness and more or less well marked inability, to perform work. When caused by im- perfectly masticated food, the cause can usually be told by the appear- ance of the feces. Colicky pains are sometimes present an hour or so after feeding. The animal has a general unthrifty appearance and lacks vigor. Treatment.--As a large percentage of 'cases is due to inability of masti- cate properly, the mouth should al- ways be carefully examined. If the teeth require attention and the owner l.as neither the Rnury instruments ror the skill to correct' the fault he should take the horse to a veterinar- ian. In horses about three years old the trouble is very often due to un- shed molar crowns, Nos. 1 and 2 in each row. In a horse about four years old No. 3 in each row. These crowns can be easily removed by the use of a pair of small tooth forceps or a pair of pincers. In older horses the trouble is very often due to sharp points or projections .of tooth sub- stance on the outer edge of the upper molars or the inner edge of the lower ones; to a long tooth that requires shearing, or other month trouble that can be corrected only by an expert with the necessary instruments. When the fault is not in the mouth, and the patient be not too weak, a purgative of 6 to 8 drams: aloes and 2 gramy ginger should be given. In all cases where a purgation is to be given, and prompt action is not necessary, it is wise to prepare the tario Depa rtinent ot y Toronto.) : The NEW EDISON DIAMOND DISC THE PHONOGRAPH WITH A SOUL. .. | Lady Churchill writes :-- What an extraordinaty mag Mr. Edison is.

The Hoed Crops in Ontario are 'made up principally. of corn, beans, potatoes, turnips, mangels, and car- rots. These crops occupy fully one million acres annually. During the past fifteen years, the area used for tatoes has remained practically the same with exception of some Yaria- ; tions in individual years. _ All the root crops here referred te do well after sod, especially after lig¥ id sewage from time to time, and 8 fiystem of tile, called the "absorp- "tif )n bed," consisting of several paral- "M31 rows of 3 or 4 inch land tile laid Yyith open joints, almost level,' and shallow, and branching off from a 'main line of sewer pipe which con- 'Nects it to the tank.
