"Soil Robbery On Farming

C. E. MacKenzle.

If one were to look in a diction- ary for a definition of Agriculture, the result would be something like this: ‘Cultivation of the soil for food products, or for valuable growths of field or plot. fBut all agriculture is not. good cultivation; that ls, not farming that pays. There is prac- tised in some parts of our province s system of agriculture that is lit- tle short oi robbery, it is n mining of the soil on such cultivation in- tended to work to the advantage oi‘ the so-cnlled farmer. without re- gard to thsrights of the soil, with reference to future plant growth or fertility.

df a business man is in business for a number of years, haviugbuilt up a good trade with the surround- ing country he does not attempt to rob those with whom be deals. He does not attempt to got 111F511 amounts of his cuaiomersflmonoy without giving something in return. A course along the above lines would soon ond in disaster to such a business; thc cutting off of fut- ure business would soon show the merchant that to continue would only spell ruin. I

A consumptive must not ex- psotorate about the house, nor in the work-shop or office, nor on the floor of any cab, or other convoy- ance; nor on tho sidewalk; nor in any place of general resort. b.

Spring‘ Weather Hard On Baby

The Canadian Spring weather-l one day mild and bright; the next raw and blustery is extremely hard on the baby. Conditions are such that the mother cannot take ,the little one out for the fresh air so much to be desired. He is confined to the house which is often over- heated and badly ventilated. He catches cold; his little stomach nnd bowels become disordered and the mother soon has a sick baby to look after. To prevent this an oc- casional dose of Baby's Own Tah- ‘lets should be given.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR THE HOUSEHOLD

1. All rooms occupied b) a pa“- lent should have as mucn sunngut and fresh air as possible.

2. Well persons should ‘not sleep in the same bed with a consump- tive. and when possible not in thc same room.‘

3. The floors of rooms occupied by conaumptives should not bo cur- peted, but should be paln-icd or covered with ollcloth.

4. Floors, woodwork and furni- ture should be wiped daily with n duster, moistened with u disinfect- ant. Floors should ncver bo dry swept.

5. All ‘bed-clothing and body lin- en should be changed and cleaned frequently.

6. The table ware used my n consumptive should be kept -hy lt- self and may be sterilized by boll- fag.

7. A room which has been oc- cupied by n consumptive should‘ not be used again until it has been thoroughly clcancil and disinfected. 8. in the event of death from consumption, ndvlcc should be sought from the Board of Health ro- garding the best way to dirinfect the house.

DISINFEOTION

1. For washing the face and body use catholic soap; tho hands and hair should be frequently cleansed with a strong alkali soup. Patients should not wear. beards or moustaches.

2. All washable clothlng.,hand- kerchiofs, coverlets. sheets and pil- low cases should be disinfected by iboiling for half ail hour in strong soap suds. after, which they should ibo thoroughly, washed in the usual
