DISEASE CAUSE OF ANIMAL LOSS
Three-Fourths of Ailments Which Ruin Valuable Herds Can Be Prevented. STRICT SANITATION HEEDED Contagious Maladies, Sporadic Ail ments, Parasitic Troubles, Accidents and Neglect Are All Quite Disastrous. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Every year the people of the United States lose over $L,UO,000,000 directly (and no one Knows how much Indi rectly) through diseases of farm ani mals. This is a large toll when divided on a per capita basis, and when it comes home to the farm stock-raiser who finds a valuable animal dead in the barn, or an epidemic spreading into his herd, the loss is sometimes disastrous. The most regrettable feature of the case is that probably threefourths of the loss could be prevented. Five Causes of Disease. There are live principal causes of disease and death of farm animals contagious diseases, sporadic disease, parasitic troubles, accidents and neglect. Contagious diseases can be avoided, or at least their consequences gTeatly diminished, If farmers will learn to co-operate with the United States Department of Agriculture and the various state livestock and sanitary authorities, who are striving to maintain animal health. Farmers should report promptly to the nearest ollieials any suspicion of the presence of contagious disease, and they should observe carefully all regulations in regard to quarantine, sanitation, and cure of animals, as protection against contagion. Tuberculosis is one of the worst scourges among animals am it thrives best in damp, dark, Ill-ventilated stables. It Is less common among animals running at large. Light, dry, well-ventilated stables and dry, clean barnyards or paddocks are essential to the health of farm animals. One valuable point in combating contagious diseases, especially tuberculosis, is to start the herd with animals that not only lire free from disease, but are of : : fit, "v. v- - Proper Care Kccpj Farm Animals Healthy. Ftock that Is not predisposed to disease. Olllcial tests of herds are made on request and through co-operation of the United States Department of Agriculture with livestock sanitary ollieials. Purchase of breeding stock from these herds Is a wise precaution. Care also should be taken to obtain stock adapted to climatic and local conditions. The other sources of animal loss are largely a matter of intelligent and careful handling. Sporadic and Incidental diseases such as disorders of the digestive and respiratory tracts, can be avoided largely by proper handling and feeding. A proper balancing of rations has n material Influence on the health of live stock. Too much of any food element is likely to result in digestive disorders, thus predisposing the animal to disease. Parasitic diseases also carry off arge numbers of valuable animals every year. They are largely the reFUlt of improper housing and neglect. The average farmer can not be expected to have the time and aptitude for study which will keep him apace with the latest developments in feeds aud feedii:, animal nutrition and medicines, hygiene, and other important matters related to the stock-raising Industry, lie can, however, avail himself of the benefit of the studies nnd demonstrations of specialists who have devoted their entire time to these subjects. Kvery state agricultural college maintains a corp of specialists tvhose publications nnd services are available. Department Offers Aid. The department of agriculture Is constantly plvin out Important Information in books and bulletins which may be had on request and In every state the department has representatives combating animal diseases. It Is well to consult a local veterinarian In case of any disturbing symptoms and to report to the state veterinarian or the United States Department of Agriculture, any symptoms which Indicate the possibility of an epidemic. The wis breeder is ever on the lookout to prevent disease Instead of waltInj: until a cuv is necessary.

MAKE COMPOST HEAP FOR USE IN GARDEN
Start By Laying Down Bed qf Fresh Stable Manure Organic Rubbish, Decayed Vegetables Dead Vines, Weeds and Other Truck May Be Used Size Plot Necessarily Varies. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Garden waste, decayed vegetables, dead vines, weeds', and the organic rubbish that collects about the place during a busy summer may be cleaned up and put to work again through the ngency of a compost heap. Start the heap by laying down a bed of stable manure which has not been burned or heated. The size of the plot will vary with the amount of refuse to be used; for ordinary uses, If the bed Is made 8-eet long by G feet wide and 2 feet deep It will serve the purpose. Over the manure spread a two-foot layer of refuse and cover it with another layer of manure. This last layer need be onlv a foot in thickness. ReDon't Leave Manure in Piles Exposed to Weather Conditions Favorable to Loss By Washing Use It to Make a Compost Heap. peat the layers until all, the waste hn been disposed of and then cover the whole with a layer of earth. If it Is desired to add to the heap from time to, time the top layer may be opened and the new material emptied into the hole thus made. This is convenient for the suburban home where there is no animal to consume the kitchen waste. In the spring the heap Is jvell mixed with a fork and the compost Is ready to be spread on the garden plot. The heating manure will effectively destroy any weed seed present and will als break down, tin structure of most of the material that have been thrown upon the pile. The process may be continued indefinitely by simply adding enough manure to insure heating. Compost is especially valuable for use In hotbeds and coldframes. CLEANING UP INSECT PESTS Many of Hibernating Species May Be Destroyed in Winter By Cleaning Up Obscure Corners. Much can be done now to reduce the possibility of Insect plagues next summer if a little elTort Is directed toward the destruction of Insect shelter areas. Around the grounds and gardens, under hedges, beside ditches, and in fence corners are bunches of Insectsheltering weeds or grass. ly the time cold weather approaches many kinds of insects In the adult or immature stages have taken full advantage of these nooks and hidden away there for the winter. The bureau of entomology. United States Department of Agriculture, says that If these spots are cleaned up and the refuse cut nnd burned, many of these hibernating Insects will be destroyed and the damage from such pests during the coming season will be materially lessened. PROVIDE BATH FOR POULTRY Chickens Cleanse Themselves by Wallowing in Soil and Dust Box Should Be Accessible. Chickens never wash, as many other birds do, but cleanse themselves by wallowing in soil. Where board cr tement floors are used in the chicken Krise, some means for dusting should bo provided during the winter months, say poultry specialists of the United Stairs Department of Agriculture. For a flock of ,"0 to 00 fowls a dust box .t by ' feet or 4 by 4 feet will generally be found large enough, and should be placed where it can be reached by sunlight during as much of the day as possible. Fine, light, dry dust Is the best kind with whleh to fill the box. but sandy loam Ic gtxid. Road dust 1. recommended by many, but it Is apt to be Pithy. Coal or wood ashes may bo mixed with the soil If desired. FARM FOR CENSUS PURPOSES Is All Land Which Is Farmed by One Person, Either by His Own Labor or With Assistance. According to the HO) census there are 5.44CWS farms in the United States. A "farm" for census purposes is nil the land which is direvtly farmed by one person, either by his own labor alone or with the assistance of members of the household or hired employees. When a landowner has one or more tenants, renters, croppers or managers, the land operated by In considered a farm.

MADE RAG FIGURE POPULAR Russian Princess Instrumental in Causing a Return to Pastime That Was in Favor Long Ago. It was the fashion a little time ao to think scornfully of the woodwork screens, the paper flowers or the wax figures made by the women of the past, but now they are eagerly sought and added to collections of articles Illustrating home life. History repeats itself, and to this busy athletic age has come a wave of the old linger-work fashion. Lately it was picture making with feathers, now It is little figures made from rags. These last were the idea of Mine. Wolkoff, nee Princess Troubetskoy, formerly of the Iiusslan Imperial court, when at Petrograd, where the little figures were sold for the benefit of Russian soldiers. Since Mine. Wolkoff has been in England she has modeled little statuettes of well-known people, all in characteristic attitude and lifelike appearance. Odd pieces of rag have been manipulated to make these charming little figures, which vie with the paper modeling and the wax groups of the past. Next. Cigarettes colored to match gowns, are reported to be the latest feminine fad in New York city. Soon the lovely ladies will be wanting to blow pink smoke through their delicate noses.
