The subject of farm drainage‘is re coining considerable attention in some parts of thus country, and it is one that requires study. Much loss and incon'xenience often results from" lack of drainage. or defective work in planning or making the system of drains. The importance of this sub- ject in its bearings upon success in agriculture has been serioush cansid- ex ed by the department of phvsics in Ontario Agiicuitural College at Gut-.iph and the minister of agricul- ture has approved a plan to make the findings of the experts in this college of benefit to the cquntr}. The following extract fiom a letter re- cehed from Mr. Wm. 11. Day. lectur- er in phssbs at O. A. C., wiii explain the pians. and those who wish to avail themselves of the project may address Mr. Day. He says: "The department of physics at the Ontario Agricultural College is en- deavoring to emphasize the import- ance to farmers of proper drainage of their land. This meets with such heartv approval by the minister of agriculture that he has authorized us to go out among the farmers “here requested, take the leVels or their land loCate the drains for them, and give imormation generally on the subject. The onlv expense connected with it “ill be the travelling expens- es of one man.

The citizens of Lindsay should weigh Well the Wisdom of cleaning out the wells of the town as the by- law admonishes, for who knows what we may be drinking ‘.’ It is not pleasant, perhaps, to contemplate the evil that may happen. nor the expense that may be incurred in pumping out the wells or in making them secure against cnntamination. but there is a case which has within a few days been reported from Engâ€" land. which illustrates the possibility of what. may be the consequence of not attending to the sanitary con- dition of the water supply: “London.

If we are cre- ating it by the use of mm in’rmiâ€" lizers, then let us have an inspection ‘of the fertilizer factories. The search- ]ight of publicity would.

If it is bad for us to eat the decay- ed mvat. in the disguise-d rn‘fins in which it is alleged to come from the packers. it is certainly no better tn eat the product of it in “getablo form, and. worse than dwayod meat, infinitely worse, is the prnduct of the city sewer, which cvntains contamin- ations of the moat virulent kind. Apart from parasites the only cause of appendicitis is the rare occurf'gnce of a cherry stone or grape seed, or slnmothing of that. kind lodging in the vorm‘iform appendix, and this is: thc only case in which an opt-ration A new theory of the cause of ap- [pendicitis comm from Paris. Dr. iBlanchnrd, a. prominent physician of it'hat citn who is supported in . his {theory by Dr. Metchnikofi says that appendicitis is caused by three kinds of intestinal worms, of which the dreaded tryg‘ocephal is the most danâ€" gerous. It is this creature that. céuses the severe pain accompanying appendicitis. The microscope has shown its presence in every case ob- served by. these doctors. They attribute the presence of this worm to the use of vegetables grown in ground treated with chemically prepared products of the sewers of large cities. in which the eggs of the trycocephal and other parasites are mrmerously found. Dr. Blanchard declaresthat the 1m" of sewage for fertilizers or in any other way. should be made illegal. ‘- The one thing in your career thet should be in perfect taste is your wedding announcement.
