How the Germs Are Nurtured and the
Disease Is Spread.


It would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic.
smallpox, throughout different Sec
lions Of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy and
rotting layers OF paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after layer
of paper on wall. using common
-four paste, is especially calculated to
create homes for disease germs. Peo-
pie could not do more to effect such a
result IL they tried. The rotting vege-
table matter affords caves from which
are ready to dart forth the infection
at every opportunity. There 10 no ex-
cuss for this practice. as walls and
ceilings can be coated with a pure,
clearly and sanitary material like Ala
bastine. for instance, at no greater ex-
pense. Alabastins is q rock-bass
cement, which Incorporates itself with
the wall or ceiling. 1t IL easily ap-
piled, comes ready to mix with cold
water, requires no washing or scrap
ing before renewing or retinting. 10

A large number of poultry shows are
being held this winter and the farmers
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunities thus offered to become better
acquainted with fine stock. This is
a good time to take the boys and the
girls and get them enthused. The chill
dren on the farm have good oppor-
tunity to do something for themselves
in the way Of raising fowls II they can
but be interested. Many a girl could
make a good deal Of pin-money by go
ing into the raising Of poultry on
small scale. The little room that
would be required on the farm would
practically never be missed from the
cultivated area Of the farm. The mar
ket will not be oyer-stocked no matter
how extensively the children go into
the business. The increasing popula-
alton will more than make Up for new
hands at the producing end Of the
trade. We have seen children become
very much interested in this work.
They are learning something that may
be OF value to them In the years to
come. Childhood is good time for
them to practice in poultry raising, for
years OF experience are necessary to
make experts. The school OF expert
enee is the only one that turns out
first-class poultry raisers.

How many men were ever known to
sell a carriage horse or a saddler and

the wheel is but poor substitute for
a horse, and there is not the least dan

his favorite driver will ever be salts
