is necessary that certain bacteria be

is called incubation.
Pure cultures can De obtained, but
the BEST and safest is to secure dirt
from q successful alfalfa field. This
dirt should be sowed over the field at
the rate Of 200 Or 800 pounds per
acre, upon a cloudy day, or just be-

WHAT A CORN-PICKER Will, No
A Time-Saving Machine Which Is Destined tn Reco,o
Very Popular

While the corn picker is a compar-
o4ively new member of the corn
machine line, nevertheless it is des-
tined TO become a very important
one.
Before the advent Of the high
priced help, and before it became SO
scarce, the harvesting Of the corn
crop was not such a serious problem.
Modern ideas and changes in the
methods of living, however, have
brought about a shortage in the sup
NV Of farm labor.
This shortage is very pronounced,
especially in the husking s when
extra help is needed. For this rea-
son, M are more than ever
in need Of a machine which will husk
the corn from the standing stalks
q machine which will do the work Of
several men.
Heretofore, about an acre was con-
sidered an average days work for
one man. A corn picker, however,
will husk several times this number
Of acres. A corn picker will, how
ever, not only do the work Of several
men, but it will deliver the ear corn
10 the wagon in much better condi-
ton than is done ordinarily when
husking by hand.
The corn picker Is not the inspira-
ton of q minute. 1t is the work Of
Years. While necessity was the mother
Of its invention. yet It was hard work
that overcame the difficulties that
confronted the designers Of this ma

chine. One by one these difficulties
nave been overcome, and the ma
chine is now perfected SO that it does
a very high class Of work.
The description Of q orr picker by
an expert follows:
Corn pickers are constructed
much on the same plan as the corn
binder. Ike the corn binder, they
take care Of a single row Of corn at
a tire. AS a whole. the machine is
comparatively simple. Long, pro-
iecting gatherer arms extend forward
and on each side of the row.
These arms can be adjusted so
tina the points will run very close to
the ground, or higher, as the field
conditions require. When operating
IN the fields which are badly lodged
or tangled, the points of the arms
must be run very close to the ground

badly Town OF lodged or tangled.
"Nhen the corn stands reasonably
straight. however, it is not necessary
TO lower the arms.
In order to pick up and hold the
stalks firmly, until they nave been
have broken the "a from the stalk.
the gatherer arms are equipped with
chains which are provided with long
steel fingers.
LAS the machine moves along the
points of the arms raise the down
and tangled stalks, and the fingers Of
the chain grasp them and hold the
stalks firmly, until they have been
forced between the swapping rolls.
These rolls are especially on
structed and are placed at such an
angle that the ear-cOrn gT~avitates to

uhirh lo1;.yarc II tn tho wa Crnp which
IS driven alongside the machine.
The capacity of the machine is
determined orl- by the rate at which
the team walks. While no definite
statement a be made as TO the
mount of corn a machine will husk,
yet a large wagon-box Of ear-corn has
been husked in thirty minutes.
Ordinarily, however, the daily ca
pacity of the machine is deterTnined
largely by the quality Of the corn and
the facilities for taking care or the
ears.
considering the character Of the
work such q machine is required to
DO, he draft is exceedingly light, n
the power required to operate the
machine depends largely upon the
condition of the ground and the sizes

Another advantage gained by us
ing the corn picker lies IN the iact
that the corn car be husked slightly

hand.
This leaves the stalks in better
condition for early feeding purposes.
Therefore, when cattle are turned
into the field after the ears have

Learning To Use Light.

In these days when everyone has SO
much to say about efficiency, illumin-
ating engineering is of the first i'm
%portance. In order that employees
may work rapidly and we'll they should
be protected from needless fatigue.
About the quickest and surest way to
tire out a roomful of people is to flood
the room with a uniform light at
high intensity. Where work is to be
done by artificial light the general il
Illumination should be moderately low
with local lights of higher intensity
above the work bench or desk. And,
by the way, the average desk light or
reading lamp is o low.
important part in firing people out.
Fatigue occurs far more quickly with
orange and yellow rays at high inten-
sity than from green and blush light
like that from the mercury vapor
lamp. Nothing equals the blush
white of ditfused daylight.
Shadows also have an important
part to play. In fact M of the prin-
cipal aids in distinguishing objects is
the difference in brightness. If there
were no shadows but only a perfectly
difused illumination OF high intensi-
ty it would be hard to see clearly. In
order to have shadows there must be
directed light from n or a number
Of sources and not merely difused
light coming from all directions.
There must be enough directed light
to mark the edges OF objects by shad-
ows and also enough diffused light to
enable one to see clearly in the shad-
ows. The directed light should come
from above at a considerable angle
with the horizontal so as to limit the
length of the shadows. There are
cases, however, when a com binatiOn
of directed and difused light will not
answer. In a flour mill or a foundry,
for example, where everything is of
the same color diffused light would be
practically useless: but in a draught-
ing room where all the objects requir-
ing distinction are In one plane a di-
rected light casting shadows would be
equally Objectionable.
To light the home with comfort
and economy requires a combination
of concentrated illumination of fairly
high intensity at the dining or read
Ing table with a general illumination
OF low intensity. The lighter the
