WHY ISOLATE? Man is the reservoir of the disease germs which afflict him., Disease germs do not grow in nature outside of human •or animal body, and the to h a most : of them die fairly soon after leaving the body. Diseaseg erms leave the body that harbours them in its secretions or excretions. It is the transference of, the germ -laden secretion, occurring usually in a fairly direct manner, which accounts for the spread of the diseases which are spread by germs. In order that the spread may be prevented, every effort should be made to control the transfer of se- cretions: from thesick to the well. It is for this reason that the sick person is isolated or separated from his fellows. Isolation does not do the sick person any good; it is car- ried out for the protection of -those wlio are well. One way to isolate is by removal of the cause to an isolation hospital, and where isolation .at home is not practical, this should be done. Many cases can, however, be quite satisfac -torily cared for at home, provided proper precautions are taken. 'the patient must have a separate, room.

(Made in Canada.) care of the patient should be under- taken by some one member of the family. A gown, or overall, for the attendant is kept just inside the room. This gown is put on by the attendant when entering the sick- room, and taken off when leaving the room. The importance of adequate hand scrubbing cannot be over-estimated. After attending .the patient, and al- ways before leaving the room, the hands and fore -arms should be thor- oughly scrubbed, for at least two minutes,with a nail- brush in soap and water, and then `rinsed in an antiseptic solution. Dishes used by the patient are placed .in a pan of water and boiled, or are washed and kept in the pat- ient's room. Any 'food from the pa- tient's roomis burned. All clothing, towels, etc. from the patient's room are actually boiled, or are soaked in an antiseptic solution for one hour. All discharges from thenose and rnouth'should be destroyed by burn- ing, or should be mixed with an anti- septic. In diseases such as typhoid fever, the excreta must be rnixed with an antiseptic. The person who is caring for the patient should take the precautions mentioned, and should not have any- 1thing to do with the preparation of 'food in the home. Home isolation is satisfactory ,pro- tided the attendant takes such care as is outlined above, that other mem- bers of the household or family are kept out of the room, and that care. is maintained until the danger of the spread is passed, and .that .such ".are is not relayed • too soon, simply be- cause the patient feels well.

News and Information for the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture) Weekly Crop Report Live stock generally is reported to be in fairly good condition and most farmers are depending on • using home grown products for feed this year. With plenty of roots to add succulence to the rations, and :a good quality of roughage .available, live stock should fare well, A report from. Greycounty indicates that the cold storage plant. at Thornbury has been the means of greatly increasing the returns from apples. The dairy cattle market is reported active from several areas, with sales to New York State, Quebec and other parts of Canada.

Potatoes for Deed The feeding of potatoes to live stock provides a very satisfactory outlet fur the lower grades of the crop. Second-ratepotatoes may be used as .a feed for hogs and also in limited amounts for cattle, sheep and horses as a substitute' for grain. For pigs tlic potatoes should be boiled, mixed with the grain and fed with other concentrates. A. protein sup- plement needs to be fed with this. Experiments indicate" that it takes. about 420 pounds of potatoes, fed af- ter cooking, to equal 100 pounds of corn or barley. For the best results in swine feeding the proportion of potatoes in the ration should not be greater than four pounds to one of concentrates. Potatoes may furnish half of the dry matter in the ration for cattle and sheep and one-fourth for horses. 1)airy cows should not receive more than about 35 pounds per day as larger amounts may im- pair the quality of butter produced. For fattening sheep,' from two to three pounds daily should be fed with the grain. .For cattle and sheep feeding, the potatoes should be chop- ped and .nixed with the grain, and should be raw. They may be fed raw to hogs, particularly brood sows, if time and labor cannot be spared for cooking: Important Conventions Feb. 3 -Ontario Plowmen's Assoc- iation, Toronto.

Improvement Association Formed Breedersof all kinds of farm stock. in Elgin County were brought to- gether recently at St. Thomas to form the Elgin Live Stock Associa- tion. One of the first activities the organization planned is . to make a bull census of the county and to insti- tute a i:ampaign to eliminate the scrub bull so that at least 80 per cent. may be purebred. Three directors each were chosen from the different townships. N. Martin, Springfield, was elected pres- ident; J. E. Pierce, Wallacetown, is vice-president, and Fletcher Thomas,' 'agricultural representative, was made secretary -treasurer, Preventing Fires Fire Marshal E. I. Heaton recent- ly issued a warning to farmers that they should exercise greater care in harvesting and storing their crops if they hope to avoid losses through spontaneous combustion. At the close of the inquiry into Wentworth Coun- ty barn fires, he suggested that ''far- mers revert to the old-time custom of using salt in curing crops. Salt, he pointed out,' aided greatly in pre- venting fires. He also advocated that fire extinguishers be carried on all threshing machines. Static ,electric- ity in the blower of the ' thresher, which can be overcome by ground- ing wires, was -the cause of at least one fire in Wentworth. "Chuckle Column There is a certain sporting fellow whose wife prohibited him from backing horses: But he continued se- cretly. One evening an old friend, unaware of the prohibition, dropped in and said to the punter, "Well, did you have any luck with Jeanette yes- terday?" "Instantly the wife shot her husband' an ugly look and went -out of the room, "You've done : it" groaned the husband. "My ,wife thinks. I don't bet' how. You'll have to square this with her." In a few moments, when the wife returned, the friend•said, breezily: "I say, Mrs. Smith, I'm awfully sorry if 1 misled you just now. Jeanette isn't a horse, you know. She's a barmaid."

As the assassinated President McKinley was passing they bent to distinguish if possible the words his poor white lips were trying to utter. He was singing! Ac- tually at the very gateway of death! And it was the old tune Bethany, and the. well-known words: "Nearer. my God, to Thee." he was singing, and with them as his password he passed on to be Nearer to his God. How many times. did the military bands play it, and brave men sing it falteringly, at grave sides in Fland- ers Fields! How :often it was sung at church parades there because .per haps everybody knew it so well! Was it inspiration or. instinct that led the orchestra of the doomed steamship Titanic to play it, as the monstrous vessel swayed and lurch- ed, carrying hundersd of helpless people down to death itt the icy wat- ers beside the massive iceberg which had stabbed her andsent her to de- struction? A wonderful hymn it is, with an intensely strong appeal tothehearts of men, women and little children.. Such a pretty story that is upon which it is founded, the young shep- herd lad alone in :a wilderness as night comes on, going away from home and country to a foreign land,' not sure that his God bears rule in that . place for which he is making, lying in sleep with a stone for his pillow. Then his beautiful dream of a ladder reaching from earth to God's heaven, the angels .upon it, and the Lord standing at itstop sending clown tohim the blessed .assurance "Surely, I will be with ' thee!" In joy and thankfulness unspeakable he rises and crowns a tiny hill of stones with his pillow consecrating it as a monument tohis wonderful God, calling it Bethel, that is The House of God. The lady, Mrs. Sarah Flower Ad- ams, who saw the poetry in that epi- sode, like hidden gold in the . ore, was an inspired ; poet if ever this world produced one. Thirty-six years of age, daughter of a journal- ist ournalist imbued with French revolution- ary ideas, motherless at an early age, well educated by her father, sister' of a musical lady of much talent, wife of a noted engineer, she wrote many articles and stories for maga- zines. Her most ambitious works were . a drama in five poetic acts about the martyrdom of the Christ- ian. maiden' St. Perpetua, and a rhym- ed scripture catechism for children. In 1841 she was asked by the Rev. W. J. Fox, a London Unitarian min- ister to help him inthe compilation of a hymnal for the use of his own congregation. At this time she had left her native home at Harlow in Essex and was living in the out- skirts of London. She sent Mr. Fox thirteen hymns, including "He send- .2th sun, He sendethshower," sung at her own funeral, and our hymn printed above which was accompan- ied by a tune written by her sister. Most of her hymns have been pre- served in the hymnbooks, but none of then have made such an endur- ing impression upon the world as the "Nearer" one. Many, musicians have felt themselves .impelled to write tunes for it. Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote two, neither of .which quite satisfied his fastidious musicianly taste. The famous Rev. Dr. Dykes' tune "Horbury" is greatly used in Great Britain and elsewhere. But of the scores of tune specially written for its words, non have ever won the popularity of "Bethany" or "Ex- celsior" as some call it. This is as simple as the words, and is the work of. Dr. Lowell Mason, a very well- known United States musician who has composed a great deal of popular sacred music, and given us several fine hymn tunes, including "Olivet" set to "My faith looks up to Thee." Eliza Flower died from tubercu- losis after a long sickness during which she was affectionately nursed by her sister, Mrs. Adams. Possibly she contracted the disease from her. close attendance upon her'sister. Af- ter a wasting sickness she passed away in 1847. "She wore away, al- most her last breath bursting into unconscious song as the gentle spirit glided from its beautiful frame," wrote one whose joy it was to be amongst those who ministered to her. Her mortal frame was laid to rest at her childhood's home in Harlow, Essex, 1111'111, 1110 - 1104 1111111,111111111,111,1 Nonce MYF fctim �t[a NRIIIM-.��� 1 1{ „,o4 ,„,, ,,,~wMsi,w�MV�1�/ri�IMleiirado. wl/ rassamo/sofoovoMa/lAr so4b Cla.sslf ied:.
