SOME DIsINFECTANTs HEALING.

A bad smell is a good danger sigma.
but need not be dangerous in itself.
The cause of the odor is the danger
Gus thing.
Commercial disinfectants that come
in cans can be diluted with water for
immediate use are generally most COIL
Venient.
Some coal-tar disinfectants can be
poured through waste pipes to disin-
feet il plumbing without harming the
pipes or clogging them.
Sawdust moistened with coal tar
disinfectant is good for sweeping
floors. 1t keeps the dust down and
kills germs.
The active chemical agent in mos:
coal-tar disinfectants is a substance
known as cresol.
The standard commercial coal-tar
dips cost about one cent a gallon.
Dips are of three main classes:
coal, tar, arsenic, and tobacco.
Sheep scab is a parasite that bur-
rows in the skin of a sheep and causes
an intense itching. Sheep pull out
their wool in attempts to relieve the
| pain. Dip twice at intervals of eight
days.
Scaiy leg in poultry is caused by
small parasites similar to those tat
cause scab and mango in the lal 81
animals. One pint of coal-tar dls-l-
dectant, thickened with unsalted lard
or petroleum jelly and applied a.. :
salve, will cure it.
Kerosene sprayed as a salve, VIII
keep the flies off temporarily, but is
rCI a disinfectant. 1t will take the
hair off an animal if applied too thick,
and it is also inflammable and costly
Dips containing arsenic are pOpu-
lar for killing cattle ticks.
White arsenic. which is mostly used,
is extremely poisonous. Do not
breathe the dust, nor even let the
powder touch your skin.
Whitewash is one of the best disin-
festants for. damp, dark places. 1t is
also a good preservative.
The best way to apply whiteWash
is, first, to have it perfectly free from
lCLlps, and then use a spray pu
Thoroughness is important in ali
kinds of disinfecting work.. There is
no use to disinfect the walls of a BARI

and managers.
One good point about whitewash i
That its color tells you when YOU nave
thoroughly coverd a surface.
Some of the coal-tar disinfectants
not only destroy germs but also kill
lice, feas, parasites and, in addition,
heal cuts and wounds.
The best ways to disinfect yards,
such as after a ~hog-cholera epidemic,
are: First rake up all the trash and !
burn it. Then cover the yard three
inches deep with straw and burn that. ]
If you are not able to secure straw,
sprinkle the ground with lime is a
second choice. To disinfect posts and
fences, whitewash or paint them.
Disease germs shorten the average
sran of life by about two years. About
80 per cent of the common diseases
are infectious, or catching" Disin-
lection after disease is the first step
fer healthfulness both for persons
and live stock.-Farm and Fireside.

over that of the previous year. Al
though southern Alberta had bad
year agrlculturally, the province as a

prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen

The value of mixed farming, in fact,

SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME

An abundance of shade is one Of the
Injuries which every farm home can
and should have The city dweler is
often a renter and must take things
as they are Or If he owns a home,
the lot is restricted in size, and large
trees are an impossibility. But on
the farm land for a commodiOus yard
should always be reserved.
Those having a grand old elm,
maple, or oak to begin with, are for
tunate, indeed. But the idea that
trees planted now of these species will
be a comfort only to succeeding gen
erauons is quite a mistake.
Most Of the naples, and especially
the sugar and red naples are of rapid
growth, and at few years at most
will give an abundance of shade.
DO not make the mistake of using
fruit or nut trees in the yard. Both
make a litter at certain seasons, which
renders them sort of nuisance en-
tirely unnecessary. If you had no
room for an orchard it would be
different matter. You want the yard
for solid comfort, and not as a crop
producer.
Because the city man uses the
horse chestnut for shade, do not follow
his example. He does it because this
tree is low growing and compact-iust
the thing where there is little room
either on the ground or in the air.
With your broad expanse a more as
piring species should be chosen. Be
sides the burs are a nuisance
There is nothing better on the farm
lawn than native trees. They thrive
admirably, and in every community
there are those we'll worth attention.
