the reconstruction of the- lino is complete largo quantities e- ve southward from liaoyang an unofficial telegram from headquarters at mukden says it is understood that the kussian commanderinchief is now in a position to begin offen- sivo operations on an important scale it is true that tho japanese are in possession of liaoyang pro montory that port arthur is prac tically besieged and that the enemy have advanced to the russian main positions by the shortest lines of communication but their further op erations seem likely to be confined to a restricted area owing to the danger attending the exposure of their communications in northern corea reports received regarding tho achievements of the cossacks show that the russians are already adopting aggressive tactics south j of haichcng moreover tho garri son at port arthur is stated to bo liarrassing the japanese the siege of tho fortress is expected to bo protracted the foregoing obviously embodies what the russian censor wishes to bo announced and it may or may not enclose the truth but it is to a great extent consistent with other reports according to which the re cent lively skirmish at wafangkau was the opening action by tho

facts la re gard to the water supply of our farms cheese factories and creameries wero brought out at the conference ol dairy instructors and experts heldi in ottawa lait fall the official report of which is now being distributed by mr j a ruddiek chief of the dairy division ottawa in discus sing the sanitation of the cheese fac tories and creameries dr council bacteriologist nt the kingston dairy school pointed out that one great sanitary requisite is good water most of our factories obtain their water from shallow wells only a few using water from deep wells springs crcos or rivers good water can 1 o secured from shallow or surface wells yet such water is always clas sified as suspicious by sanitarians when it is used for drinking purposes the reason for this simply is that such water is ground water derived by scpago through soil of the rain i or snow water shallow wells are j vsually placed quite close to the houses or factories which they are to supply and thus tlio soil in their neighborhood is apt to become con taminated and this contamination is sooner or later carried by seepage in to the well fortunately the soil is an excellent filtering nnd cleansing agent but it is only ablo to dispose of a certain amount of contaminating material such disposal takes time so that if there is a particularly heavy rain the contaminating mat ter may be carried far into the oartli below the purifying layer and thus soak unchanged 1n7t the wells if a large amount of this contamin ating material finds its way into tho soil the earth becomes soured and can no longer dispose of or purify the wasto which tends to soak into and mix with tho ground water some surface wells arc so construct ed as to bo mere surface drainage pits that is tlioy are not raised above tho surrounding earth and hence receive the surface washing di rect farmers and makers ought to realie that a surface well does not get its water from some hidden sourco below but is simply a col lecting reservoir for the ground wa ter derived from rain and enow wa ter and further that if the soil in the noigtiborhood of such a i well is saturated witli slop water and house or factory drainlngs that soonr er or later these will mako their way into the well prof shutts chemical analysis of farm well water have shown the ma jority of the wells to be little bet ter than cesspools from 100 to 200
