BURN INFECTIOUS MATERIAL
Way Diseases That Kill Cattle, Hogs
 and Poultry Are Stopped.

During the course of a year it is usually necessary to dispose of many dead animals on the average farm. Especially is this true on poultry and stock farm. There is always more or less loss among poultry and hogs, and an occasional loss among cattle and horses, besides trimmings and osals from birds and animals that are being dressed for table use
 Many times this material is simply removed some distance from the buildings and there allowed to decay. If the material contains anything of an infectious nature, such as tuber- culosis, hog cholera, chicken cholera

|R|SH POTATO CHOW:
 |NGG N ARKANSAS
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS IN FERTL LIZihG, PLANTING AND cULTi.
 NATION OF STAPLE FOOD PROD UCT ADAPTABLE TO ARKANSAS.

Excepting rice, the potato is tn most widely used food plant for tn human family It should therefor find place on every farm. Original ing in America, it has been improved and its cultivation has been increase at about the same rate as has been tht increase in population. They are nov grown in all states of the United States, but principally in the Northern and Eastern states.
 Fertilizer.
 Generally speaking, a fertilizer con- taining from three per cent to fou- per cent nitrogen, six percent to eigh per cent phosphoric acid, and nine pc cent to 10 per cent of potash will givs good results. the kind and amount f apply depending upon the kind O soil and the natural fertility. If tn soil is clayey it will require less pei ash than the sandy types.
 Planting.
 Potatoes should be planted as early as possible in the spring. say, fror February 20 in the southern part O. the state to April 1 in the northern part. Plant about four inches deeD in rows three feet apart, planting the pieces one foot apart in the row.
 Of the varieties best suited for Ar kansas, Red Bliss, Early Ohio a:d Irish Cobbler are possibly the best early va- rieties, while Rural New Yorker No. 2, Carmen No. 3 and Sir Walter Ra- leigh are the best late varieties. There is no one variety that is best for all soils under all circumstances.
 Cultivation.
 Cultivation should begin as early as possible after the plants begin to ap. pear, and should continue at intervals of ten days to two weeks. Do not use blows that run deep into the soil, bu. rather one that has a number of small teeth to pulverize and loosen the soil to a depth of from 21. to 3 inches.
 The object of cultivation is to keep down weeds end to conserve the soil moisture, therefore cultivation should be done as early as possible after a rain even if the ground had been plowed the day before.

Example of good sanitation. and other germs, it is soon carried to all barn lots in the neighborhood by such agents as crows, dogs, etc.
 Rains are an agency for the spread of infectious diseases. They wash polluted material into wells, contami- mating water used for household pur- poses. Continued loss of flocks and herds is often due to carelessness in disposing of the dead animals All such materiae should be burned at once, as it not only kills the infec- tion, but prevents a spread of dis ease.
 A furnace for burning the carcasses of small animals, such as hogs, chick ems and others, can be constructed very easily with brick or stone For burning larger animals two ditches should be dug in the shape of a cross so the fire will always have sufficient draught. Much difficulty is often ex- perienced in burning large carcasses because the fuel is placed around and over the carcass, when it should be placed directly under it.
