The general idee seems to pre- nil that in crowded communities only, jussea is found to exist, which is pre- notibls. It will be found, howerer, that st cartels liases epidemiea will prersil to • fssrfol extent in the eouotry, where the pgMUstiou is scattered—families lining ooly on their respeetire farms, and nerer tomisg In contact with eeoh other exeept st rsligiotts or other public assemblies. It is Iras that diseases of erery descrip tion will be found to prerail in rural dis tricts, U the same are found in rillagaa or .mail hamlets at the orose roads. We read of fearful epidemics in onr era oouetry, ae well as in Europe, among the i.ns era, and, on iareetigetlou, some local mam was found to giro rim to the risitation. One common oausa of sick- new in the farm-bourn is found to pro- osed from aocumulatieas of decaying nestable or animal matter, either arotu-d or infer the house. It is too often the earn that families are in the habit if throwing waste water and all other re ran npon the ground near the kitchen. Ibis will souk into the ground or lie upon tha surface to be exposed to the snmiier ■is. These aoeumoletione are often fosnd mingled with ehips from tha wood- yard, which, lying year after year, be comes e decaying mass. Erery heary nil will wash mace or lam of this de- osysd suiter into hollow pi sows hoar tha boon, and, what is worm, as wall as common, find its way into the springs from which water ie obtained for family on. Oftantimes, loo, we find places, rhsa tha wash from barn-yaida and oth er ost-baildingi will be oonreyed to e ■prise. This, it will be plenty assn, is certain to bo a cause of sickness. In si moat erery neighborhood wo tnd old log booaaa, the lower timbers of whieh bin sunken into tha ground and beooma rotten. Alan, underneath snob buildings rill often be found a dampness of tbe soil, wbioh ie e source of disease, especisl- lym decayingregetable matter is general ly fonnd under ovary house. Cellars us not ooly apt to be damp, but people often allow decayed vegetables to remain during isataer, when everything shoold be elfen- ri out rrenr spring, at least. - In Keel Tawaoima, where the ground ism high arid soUiag, thorn should be no •reuse for neglect. Drainage is easy in wary pises,'end nil kinds of decaying natter shoold at onoe be remaned Sc a compost heap, or spread npon tbe laind. The shore hints are hastily thrown ont, in order to sail the attention to obriooa fusts end to enforce the truth of s common •eying that an ''ounoe of prevention la worth n pound of care.* It Is said that at least one-half tbe disease in our world proceeds from ceases wbioh may bo pro- naiad. “A word to the wise ia sufficient.” KnextUle, March, 1871. _ Maniocs.
