SUNLIGHT is MOST
POTENT GERMICIDE
Prevents Contraction or Spread
Of Disease and Is Essential
to Good Health.
(By w. A. HENRY, Wisconsin Expert.
ment StatIon.)

(By W. A. HENRY. Wisconsin Expert.
ment Station)
Sunlight Is a most effective germi.
eide. To present the contraction or
spread of disease It is therefore i'm.
portant that the stables of farm ami.
male be well lighted, with the possible
exception of fattening animals feeding
for short periods of time.
For the maintenance Of health, ex.
ercise is another essential. The only
exceptions to this rule are fattening
animals soon to be marketed which
make more rapid gains II not allowed
to move about too freely Abundant
exercise is of special importance with
breeding animals.
Farm animals are creatures OF
habit, and once accustomed to a rou.
tine of living show unrest at any
change. The feed stable or lot, there.
fore, should be free from disturbance,
and the providing of feed and water
should be uniform in time and man.
ner. Animals soon learn when these
are to occur and as feeding time ap.
proaches the secretions begin pouring
from the various digestive glands in
anticipation Of the coming meal. The
system Of feeding and watering and
the character OF the rations should be
changed gradually, and only for coed
cause. In feeding operation chang.
ing period is usually losing period.

At the present time farm buildings
In common with most of our Amer
lean structures, offer but little evil
dence that serious thought has been
bestowed upon their character or
their disposition. In a general way,
buildings are frequently proportional
to meet their needs and are rather
conveniently placed in their relation
ship to one another. Yet, in respect
to architectural character, they are
almost without exception, very bad, If
we disregard the few that have come
down to US from colonial days. Even
the very books which treat of farm
buildings, while discussing matters Of
economy and convenience and details
of construction, fail to give coRsidera-
ton to artistic excellence. In fact,
many of their illustrations depict
buildings as faulty in this respect as
those on the most despicable farm.
Their hard lines stand out boldly.
while nature tends to soften the bad
lines Of the real.
In discussing this matter of TT
ting farm architecture, it will be we'll
to consider the following broad as
poets: Materials of construction and
the factors determining their use;
style ofarchitecture and the influences
controlling It; the elements that
should give it character; the design
ing of the principal farm buildings;
the relationship of the buildings to
one another; and the methods to be
employed in accomplishing this bet
terment.
The material which is used in the
construction Of any given set Of farm
buildings will depend upon number
Of factors. Yet in weighing these, we
should never overlook the desirability
Of giving the buildings local color
and of having them harmonic with
their native surroundings.

DISEASED COLONIES
Die DURING WINTER
Bees Affected With Foul Brood in
Fall Should Be Destroyed
or Transferred.

By WESLEY FOSTER. Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Many beekeepers endeavor to carry
diseased colonies through the winter
because It is 80 much easier to treat
them in the spring than in the fall.
In very large number of cases the
diseased colonies die during the win
ter and the honey is robbed by other
colonies, thus spreading the disease
throughout quite an extended area.
The general idea is that, inasmuch
as little breeding is done in the win
ter, there is small likelihood of the
disease spreading in the hive. This
is quite true. However, the following
factor is the most important one:
The diseased brood is SO offensive in
odor that but very small amount is
highly disagreeable to the bees. This
initiates against the natural tendency
of the bees to cluster during severe
winter weather. A colony lacking
compact clustering during winter soon
succumbs. Very few colonies affect
ed with foul brood get through the
winter for this reason.
II colony is found affected with
disease in the fall, either destroy it
entirely or transfer the bees to clean
hive and furnish them with sealed
combs Of honey. after they have been
deprived Of any food for AZ hours. Su-
gar strip cannot be successfully fed
in the winter.

success and the police had no trouble

AS soon as the ceremony was over
and the bride had been saluted by
those present in the accustomed fash
ion, while the smiling groom received
congratulations, the newly-weds sped
away in big White House automobile

they told anybody their destination

is reported from family circles. how
ever. that the couple will be away un-
til the first week in January.
They must be back in Washington
by January Z, though, because on that
date the president and Mrs. Wilson
will act as host and hostess at great
reception to be given in the White
House for the Pan-American repre-
sentatives at the national capital.
Moreover, congress will have recon

SECURING OF EGGS
DURING THE WINTER
Good Results Secured at North
Dakota Station by Follow
ing Fixed Feeding Rules.

The securing of eggs in winter de-
ponds a great deal on the feed. At
the North Dakota experiment station
the following has given good results:
Morning feed-Whole wheat.
Noon-Bran mash with meat scraps
or house scraps and some green food,
as roots.
Evening and oats mixed.
1t is also important that the hens
have grit, as crushed granite, and
crushed oyster shells to furnish lime
for shell making. The housing is Inn
portant, too. The poultry house
should be well lighted and well ven-
tilafed.
