Stab BILE Dfsinfectfon.

A. w. Biting, veterinarian of the Purdue
University Experiment Station, issues this
timely bulletin:
1.-The disinfection of stables after a period
of constant use should be a part of routine
practice. Dairy stables in particular should
be disinfected twice a year and oftener If
the conditions demand il. 1t is not possible
to give many stables that thorough disin-
lection that is possible in houses because
their construction will not admit of it, but
IL is possible TO do very much and a little
expense. The ideal method of disinfection
Is by means of a gas, that would have
the power to penetrate everywhere The ef-
feetiveness of this method depends upon Sc
curing large. volume of gas and maintain
ing ii for some time. Unless the stable can
be made tight gas will be of little use
For all practical purposes the gas pro-
dueed by burning sulphur over a pot of
Goals is the best II used in connection with
steam. The dry sulphur fumes have little
germ-killing power. but when combined
pound that is deadly. The boiling of water
and burning of sulphur should go together
Formdldehyde gas is not so efficient for
stable disinfection as many would have us
believe. very practical means of disin-
lection that may be used under almost
every stable condition is by whitewa hing
This is not expensive for material and is
very easily applied by means of an mex
pensive fruit spray pump. The lime should
be thoroughly Stacked and strained through
cloth and made just thin enough 10 work
we'll through the nozzle. One man can ap-
ply two coats of whitewash with a pump
and reach all parts of side and ceiling of a
room In about one-fourth the time required
with the brush. Whitewash will xiii or
hold the germs with which it comes in
contact. II has the effect. too of making
the barn lighter and cleaner. After the
first spraying one application will usually
be sufficient IL given regularly. AS the bus
mess of supplying milk TO cities and cream
cries is of large proportions and depends
upon cleanliness this precaution Of dis
infection should be regularly followed"

heavy heart, has left the farm which held
his lifework, and upon which he should
have been able to spend comfortably his
later years, because he was worn out
wrestling with the help question. This con-
dition of things seems TO have been brought
about largely by the increase of business
and of manufacturing industries of every
sort, and the consequent building up of
towns and cities. thereby attracting TO
them the country wage worker.
1t has been suggested that the farmers
offer premiums for labor in the shape of
higher wages, shorter hours, more holidays
and social privileges. In all these matters
the help" usually fare better than the
farmer himself; but in order TO bring about
this desirable state of affairs, the farmer
must be able 10 get more money for his
produce than he can now. The depressed
price of all agricultural products is the
natural consequence of this country's i'm
mense areas of tillable land, which keep
the markets supplied to excess with every
kind OF salable product. This state of
things the farmer can neither prevent nor
control, and ii brushes his ambition and
brings to naught his plans and his labors.
l do not think the question whether farm
ing is an honorable or desirable occupation
touches many people. 1t is the question of
profit and loss that concerns them most.
Farming lands would not be selling to-day
for one-half and -one-third the price they
brought twenty years ago if farming were
a profitable business. All the essays that
were ever written about keeping the boys
and girls on the farm will never keep them
there unless there is more money TO be
made on ii than is possible now. And the
experiment stations and farmers insti-
tutes, and most of the talk in the agri-
cultural papers do not touch the root of
the matter at all. They assume that the
farmer needs more education; but what
does it signify how much a farmer knows
as long as he can get help to get his work
done or get a paying price for what he
produces? l wish that some of our wise
and scientific men could tell us how these
conditions may be changed, and hope the
remedy may arrive in time TO benefit the
present day and generation. The only
farmers who seem TO be fairly prosperous
are the large ones, and as this is an age
of trusts and syndicates it may be that
farming will be reorganized on a similar
basis.

loneliness were the only sounds and

Gus OLD man had given me many a parting

For the protection of melons, squash and

plan, for small plot. is TO cover the vines
with mosquito netting. A cheap frame

ing the netting. A few plants in a garden
may be protected by looking them over
carefully once a day. destroying the bugs
by hand picking, and dropping them into
tin cup or other vessel containing kero-
sene.
Manipulating of potato bugs is a slow
process, and if the spot is a large one
many of the plants will be injured by the
beetles before the work is finished. On1the
appearance of the pests go over the plot
and spray with paris green. which destroys
them quicker than by any other method.
Delay in so doing, even for a day, may
result in the vines being so seriously in

The sowing of seed by hand is not an
economical method. as more seed is re-

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.
VI. It. ii. : and shortridge VIII Settle
Their Differences.

Their D1nerences.
II will no doubt be but a short time be-
fore the ID rule to govern the athletes
of the Shortridge and Manual Training
high schools on the athletic field will be
settled in a satisfactory manner to both
schools. A committee from each institu-
tion met last week and greed some con-
dtions which, 1t is said. will be final and
will adjust the matter for good. Just what
the full arrangement is has not been given
out, but a few facts have been learned in
regard to the proposed compromise. Each
school will have its own set of rules and
regulations TO govern its athletes but they
must agree in the main with those of the
other school. The local conditions in the
schools are so different that no set of rules
could we'll be made to suit both. For in
stance at the Manual Training School
student is required to carry four subjects
while at Shortridge only three are taken
a half year. Hence, IL is said, the rules
proposed and under consideration demand
that the athlete pass in all of the year s
work or the number of studies he is taking.
The rules which the NJ. T. III. S. framed
some time ago are very little different from
the new ones being considered, and II is
said that the faculty of the South Side
school will meet one day this week and re-
wise them which will only consist in chang
ing the wording. 1t is quite likely that the
Shortridge faculty will inset this afternoon
and decide on a set of regulations not I'M
like those agreed upon some time ago and
which appeared in the Journal at the time.
The students of the two schools are now
there is little opposition heard from that
portion of the school.

An Eastern Farmers Complaint.

the ice used in summer and the extra feed

there was little need TO overwork The
