TvpheM r r *..| ike Kill. ... There is no room for aVoebl that in many instances typhoid fever is carried liy 'hi- milk can. Several outbreaks of typhoid fever in schools aud huapitals hare been traced to the farm or dairy, where the ex- istence of a case ot thu disease explained its extension to Customers supplied by tue dairyman. Hence, it i* ueoeasary not only that the cattle Mipi/ly^ig the milk be free from disease, bin that there be no puaailiili ty of diaease germs, typhoid or scarlet fever, particularly, having access to th* milk or milk pans or water with which it may be diluted. This can i>nly be done by a close and rigid inspection of the dairy aud all its surroundings. There are mute a number of case* of typhoid in Ibis city, and it is strongly suaperta*! that there i* some connection between the milk sup- ply and one or more of the cases. While typhoid is known to prevail where imperfect drainage exists, and sewer gaaes are usual- ly considered to be the caiue of it, atrauge to say the diseaae prevails where moat at lention lias been paid to sanitary matter*. It U a maxim thai no trap has yet been invented that will keep aewer gaa complete- ly out of the houae thai is connected with a wwer ; and at this soaaon of the year it ia more troublesome than at other times, tiy reason of the pipes being clogged with the accumulations of a long winter during which there has ben no effective rainfall or other means of clearing then. Now when t he melting snow and rainfalr make every gully a brooklet, it is a time of danger to the household. With the flushing of the rain tbe aewer ga*. charged with diseased germs, rushes through the open drama and rat hole* into houses, the heated condition of the air in wnich induces this gas current with which we are all familiar when we pull the plug out of a fixed wash basin, some whal modified and purified by th* water in the trap and better still wlien a defective point or leak in the soil pipe allow* it to e*cape free in an apartment. It ia of th* greatest importance that every cmae of | typhoid fever or scarlatina should be investi- 1 gated to its origin, whether it i* traceable i to th* milk can, to germ-laden sewer gas, oroiher cause. If the milk be found re- sponsible, il is the strongest justification for j the inspection that ha* been made hitherto, [ but the powers and diilie* of the inspector should be increased, and their exercise insisted npon. The duly is.no doubt, an onerous one, due to the resentment of the dealers and the apathy of the public, but too strict csre cannot be taken that the milk supplied to the people is of thn purest and Healthiest lunlitv. A 4ivniarBI Leaa- lar%*. A proposition has been made that the Ontario government shall uieilge ita) credit to the extent of fifty million dollars for the purpose of entering on tbe loan business ou a very large scale. Mr.A.<>. Maclean, whu is the father of the idea, aays that Ontario farms are mortgaged to the extent of ninety million dollars to the loan cumpamaa. His proposition is that the ' Government should borrow the lifty millions referred to aad lend it at a rate of interest only large enough to pay the rpen who subscribed the loan. Of course the idea i* that the liov eminent can borrow ihe money ao much cheaper than the individual fanner that the latter would he greatly benefited by being released from the burdens imposed by th* mortgage companies. The argument is un- doiilitudly correct, but there is serious ob- jection to the government becoming a bor- rower and a lender for the exclusive bens- lit of one claaa of citimna. U might in a measure be considered an otftet to the protection given to manufacturers, but th* question is would it add materially to the ban-fit of tiis people It would certainly not affect the price of cereal* or of live stock, but it might enhance the price of land and would undoubtedly put money in- to the farmer's pockeU On the other hand there is th* brnul principle that underlies all forms of popular government, that aO classes are entitled to the same treatment that if the farmer'* lot ia made easier by legislative measure*, or direct government al aclien, the city man is entitled te the sams ittnsideration. In other word* if the agriculturist is given an opportunity to bonow publi" money on easy terms the city man who wishes to peases* a home of bis nwn should have a similar privilege extended to him. We pin m. faith to that good old principle every tub should be able to stand on its own bottom. >. Jfory r.
