PARA DESINFECTAR LOS POZOS 



El Conscjo superior de higiene, de Fran- 

 cia, recomienda el siguiente procedimiento : 



Echese en el pozo sospechoso una can- 

 tidad de permanganate de potasa, en solu- 

 cion, suficiente para comunicar al liquido 

 un pronunciado color rosa ( 500 gramos de 

 permanganate por metro cuhico de agua). 

 dejandolo reposar durante veinticuatro 

 iioras. Transcurrido este tiempo se saca 

 agua del pozo hasta que esta suba clara. 



Cuando no hay posibilidad de obtener 

 permanganato, se emplea como desinfec- 

 tante la cal, si bien se advierte que la 

 fuerza bactericida de esta ultima es bastante 

 mcnor que la dc aquel. Usase preparando 

 una lechada de cal en la proporcion de diez 

 kilos de cal viva en 40 litres de agua. La 

 lechada se arroja al pozo, y tres dias des- 

 pues se extrae el agua con bomba. 



VALUE OF CORN STALKS 



Professor Cottrell, agricultural commis- 

 sioner of the Reck Island lines, declares 

 that in the corn belt the stalks and leaves 

 of the corn are wholly neglected by the 

 farmers, suffered to go absolutely to waste. 

 He asserts that there is in them 60 per cent 

 of the feed value of the corn itself, when 

 they are put thorough the silo process. 



Open air pulilic schools for Havana are 

 proposed by the officials of the Depart- 

 ment of Education. The statement is made 

 that the unhygienic condition of public 

 school buildings tend to spread tubercu- 

 losis, and that open air sessions would lie 

 of benefit to the children and combat the 

 advance of the disease. One large specimen 

 school may soon be estal)lislicd in the large 

 and shady grounds usually devoted to hor- 

 ticultural expositions. 



The merchants of Havana have organ- 

 ized for the purpose of purchasing their 

 own carts and thereby preventing them- 

 selves from being longer subject to whims 

 of the cartmen's strikes and corresponding 

 losses.
