Dangerous eaciIIi in Dust.

A statement issued recently by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis speaks OF
the dangers from house dust, espe.
cially in rooms that are not well ven
tilated. The association warns against
dry sweeping and against the use of
the feather duster. or other devices
that scatter. but do not take up the
dust. Since the ordinary dust blown
about in the streets is impregnated
with disease germs. the National AS
sociation urges the adoption of meth
ods that will prevent the further dis
semination Of such bacilli. 1t also
urges for the coming months of fall
and winter, more open windows and
more fresh air in house, shop and

FARM HORSES
Animals, An Com bina tion w tn
Modern Machinery, Have to
Great Extent Replaced
Human Labor. T.
tBy THOMAS p. COOPER


At present the horse is practically
the entire motive power OF the farm.
In combination with improved farm
machinery, the horse has, to a great
extent. replaced human labor. AnS
the modern farm depends as muc,
upon the efficiency of the horse that
is kept to perform the labor as it does
upon the use of the human labor upon
the farm. In fact. the efficiency of
human labor upon the farm, and in
many instances the proper operation
of the farm. depends entirely upon
the farm horse. We may readily un-
derstand. therefore. that the farm
horse is often the greatest single fac
tor IN the success of the farming oper-
atoms 1t is essential. then. that the
farm horse be so cared for and the
farm SO organized. that maximum
return on the horses labor can be
secured annually.
1t is true that horse owners gener-
ally are not accustomed to look upon
the horses of the farm, or their labor,
as costing anything. The horse has
been considered so much of a neces-
sity, and SO much part Of the farm.
that the question of the cost of the
horse labor to the farm. or of the
methods by which such cost may be
decreased. has been very largely neg
lec:ed The question of economy of
power on the farm is only brought up
at those times when consideration is
being given to some other form of
motive power than the horse, 1t is
question, though, that-with increas-
ing cost of feed. of care, and larger
investment In horses-will constantly
become of greater and greater i'm
portance
The cost of horse labor depends
upon many conditions that vary OF
each farm, so that costs are not simi.
lar on different farms, However. the
items that make up cost are similar
on all farms, and only vary In amount.
It is essential. then. that the farm
operator have an accurate knowledge
of what comprises cost, and what ave
rage costs are. that he may institute

HOG PASTURES
Farmer Who Starts to Diversify
HIS Crops Should Adopt
What 1s Called a

tBy ]. HENRY.l


believe that every farmer who
starts to diversity his crops should
adopt what is called minor rotation,
or. in other words. he should build a
fence around some small pieces of
ground handy to his building to be
used in time as hog pasture, place
for growing potatoes and perhaps for
a special patch of seed corn. A pig
that is fed grain all his life usually
falls to pay expenses. One which is
given the run of such pasture until
he is up to $50 pounds weight along
with some grain feed will be produced
very much more cheaply and econom-
ically.
A good hog pasture may be had by
sowing mixture of two pounds

a bushel OF field peas and little mil

At the Wisconsin experiment sta
ton as a result of a trial with hogs
they found that an acre of rape pro-
duced as much gain on pigs when
used as pasture crop along with
grain as Sc bushels of corn would do
1t will thus be seen that the small
pasture or minor rotation produces
a vast amount of value as measured
in grain feed.
In addition to tn feeding value of
pape for hogs they were found to be
stronger and gained more rapidly aft.
er the rape feeding was discontinued

grain alone. This is doubtless the re-
suit of being more vigorous and
