Papa carried baby brother
To the pulpit down the aisle
And folks thought that they wou
smother;
They were gasping all the while
For the church was fumgated
With some antiseptic smoke
And the stuff was agitated
Every time we sung or spoke.
With a rustic Of her laces
Mamma walked by papa's side;
From her garments still came traces
Telling of formaldehyde
All was very still and solemn
And the organ murmured there
Tones that echoed from each column
In a disinfected air.
Then the pastor came and met them
Dressed In rubber coat and mask
We mad feared lest he forget them
When he undertook the task.
Silently he stood and waited
While the organ softly played,
And as atomiZer freighted
With benZoic acid, sprayed.
Then he took the vase of water
Warranted all free from germs.
And baptized the little daughter,
Using most impressive terms.
Storilized, 1.-THE congregation
Sat microbeless in the pews
And observed the conservation
A Ia scientific views.
Yet we're feeling far from merry,
And we fear that all is spoiled
Mamma, womanlike, contrary,
Wouldn't let the child be boiledI
So we sit and sigh and wonder
And at night we lie awake
Thinking of this dreadful blunder--
The baptism may not take

1t was at an afternoon concert, and

SIMPLE HOME
FARM DISINFECTANTS
BY DR.. M. p. RAVENEL,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.

When an animal dies of contagious
disease it is very important to de-
stroy the carcass by burning. If this
cannot be done it should be buried
deep and covered with quicklime. An
thrax is frequently spread by neglect
of these precautions. Birds, dogs,
and other animals, feed on the unbur-
led carcass and distribute the germs.
Birds, especially, may carry the germs
many miles
1t is a vital necessity to control as
far as possible the transmission OF
disease. One of the precautionary
measures employed is disinfection or
the absolute destruction of the germs
Of infectious diseases. If this is done
by means of chemical substances these
are called disinfectants Or germi-
cides.
Lime is one Of the cheapest and
most useful disinfectants that we have.
It has the power of destroying organic
matter as well as bacteria, and is
therefore very useful in the disposal
Of the bodies Of animals which have
died of contagious diseases. For dis
infection it is best used as milk OF
lime. Slack quicklime by adding a
pint and a half water to each quart
lime; or by weight, so parts water to
100 parts lime. The result is, by
drate of lime, a dry powder. One
quart of this Is mixed with four
quarts of water
This must be freshly prepared to
have any germicidal power. 1t may be
kept two or three days if tightly cork
ed Air slaked lime has no value as
a germicide, and water slaked lime
soon loses it's power if exposed to the
air. This is due to the fact that it
becomes charged into carbonate OF
lime, which has no germicidal power.
Milk of lime is very useful also in
outhouses and barns to disinfect the
walls, partitions, floors, etc. It's cheap
ness enables abundant USE 1t is best
applied by means of spray pump,
which forces it into every crack and
corner.
Whitewash is the same as milk of
slaked lime is equally good if the same
proportions are used in mixing Quick
lime has long been used for the disin-
lection of dead animals. For this pur-
pose the body should be surrounded
with twice it's weight of unslaked lime.
Animals should be- buried deep and be
entirely surrounded with an abundance
of unslaked lime.
The burning of sulphur is one of the
oldest methods of disinfection known,
but has been almost entirely dis
placed by newer and more reliable
methods. It kills only on the surface
and does not destroy spores. It is
very destructive to animal life, killing
insects and vernnin, and is especially
useful in destroying contagion spread
by such agencies. In order to act at
all; sulphur requires the presence of
moisture. The method has the advan-

should be made in the corners in
which strings should be tied to fasten
the caps. Heavy wire cut Is inches
long and loop made at the top in
which to tie strings attached to the
cap make a convenient arrangement
to hold the caps in place. The wire
pegs can either be run into the
ground or pushed into the sides of the
cocks of alfalfa
The horse shoe attachment for
strings is excellent To make these,
cut old horseshoes at toe calk, max
ing two weights of each shoe. Punch
holes through shoe about two inches
from the cut end so that the short
end of shoe will stick into the hay
and thus hold the cap in place.
Alfalfa may be either stacked or
placed in barn after curing. Consid-
cradle feeding value is lost through
stacking as the hay is porous and rain
penetrates the stacks to the extent Of
two or three feet An outside NOW
with roof does fairly WE'LL and little
of the alfalfa is lost when stored un-
der cover A covering of marsh hay
or a tarpaulin will prevent damaging
of alfalfa in the stack. 1t is we'll to
let the alfalfa sweat" in the cock,
otherwise it will heat and get musty
in the barn

Attack Like Tigers

In fighting to keep the blood pure the
white corpuscles attack disease germs
like tigers. But often germs multiply
so fast the little fighters are overcome.
Then see pimples, boils, eczema, salt
rheum and sores multiply and strength
and appetite fail. This condition de-
mands Electric Bitters to regulate stom-
ach, liver and kidneys and to expel poi
sons from the blood. 3'They are the
best blood purifier, writes G. I. Bud
aim of Tracy, Calf, II have ever
found" They make rich, red blood,
strong nerves and build up your health.
Try them. SOC at w. G.. Atwell's.

EXTENSION SERVICE
AT CALL OF FARMERS

Some farmers wonder how they can
get any real good from the state money
given to the agricultural college. The
services of the extension department
of the Wisconsin Agricultural college
are at the disposal Of every native
farmer Whether it be the question
of a demonstration meeting, a prob
lem of sour soil, sick cow or horse,
the college authorities are glad to as
sist.
In order to keep in close touch with
local conditions at certain central
points in the state local demonstra-
tons and experiments are conducted.
A group of farmers of the same local
ity interested in similar lines of ag
riculture is made the unit for these
demonstrations as the expense and
scattered location of farmers prohibit
personal attention in all cases. This
system affords an excellent medium
for the uplift and improvement of local
districts and communities.
Then again where occasion demands,
the experiment station co-operates
tons and experiments in an endeavor
to solve problems of soil fertility,
crop adaptation and efficient rotation
for that district. The experts from
Madison study the conditions, map out
the tests and combine with the farm
ers in their application.
Farmers who are up against particu-
oT,Ju iaI,
desire advice may secure it by writ
ing to the department of the station in
charge of that subject.
Bulletins and circulars containing
valuable, practical information about
the experiments and Investigations
conducted by the station are frequent
ly issued These publications are
sent free to residents of the state
who are interested in agriculture, and
names are placed upon the regular
mailing list upon receipt of request
stating the line of farming followed.
Address Director Wisconsin Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Madison,
Wis.
The average farmer sadly neglects
the rich opportunities afforded by the
agricultural extension service for his
Improvement and development Tech
nical agriculture has proved its
value; every progressive countryman
should relize it's worth and not let
skepticism and the innate desire to adj
here to inefficient ancestral practices
prevent him from realizing the max
in1um net returns which attend the use

GRIMES ANO CASUALTIES

Near Traverse City, Mich, while
a small boat which they had rugged
with a sail, Allen Wilson, aged twelve,
and Edward Rich, aged thirteen, sons
of Traverse City residents, were car
ried out into the bay by a stiff wind
and were drowned when their boat
capsized half a mile from the shore.
The two lads were enjoying their
sail near the beach in a light breeze

BRIDE when he was struck. Death
was instantaneous.
AS the result of severely biting her
tongue at Kalamazoo Mich, little two
year-old Christian Zichterman died
The attending physician declares the
babe choked to death after she had
bitten her tongue, the intense pain
causing the babe to draw it back far
enough to block the throat
Near Brooklyn, Ind, Ray Seltz,
twenty-five, who lived one mile west
of Centertown, was run down and
ground to pieces by a Vandalia train
According to Section Foreman Con-
over who was working near the scene,

onrushing engine.
At st. Paul, Mimi, while sitting
beside his captor in crowded
street car John Lewis, arrested on
suspicion of swindling millinery firms

Frank Fraser. The detective is in a
dangerous condition.
Near Utica, n. Y, Monday a north
bound Adirondack train from Utica
struck a two-seated wagon containing
several persons on a crossing about
seven miles from this city and killed
four outright and injured one of two
others.
Ward p. Smith of Grand Rapids,
Mich, sixty-nine years old, was al
most instantly killed when he swal
lowed a quantity of cyanide of potas-
SUM by mistake. He had made some
new cider and left the fluid under the
press.
At Vandalia, ILL.,, Wallace Hinton,
aged ten years, was drowned. This is
the fourth drowning here within six
weeks and is the ninth case for the
coroner in a week.
