STATES URGED TO HAVE

AS an aid in the fight on Spanish in

physicians be required to report cases
of the disease.
With the inauguration of such a

the epidemic. kilograms from state

One Man in the Crew.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
This year when farm help is so linn
tied, there is an urgent need for labor
saving machinery wherever possible.
One man with corn knife by work,
ing hard can cut and shock an aver
age of IL acres day. Two men with
a platform harvester can harvest A or
5 acres in the same time and three
men with a corn binder in ten-hour
day can cut and shock from to 9
acres. Cutting corn by hand is hard,
disagreeable task, the bulletin points
out, and the time when it should be
done is limited to a few days if the
full feeding value of the corn is to be
retained. Fall blowing, seeding for
winter wheat and digging potatoes
must be done on many farms at about
the same time. In such cases, the
timeliness and ease Of accomplishing
the work are. determining factors in
deciding the ACCESSIBILITY of using corn
cutting machinery.
The corn binder does the best work
when the corn is all standing upright.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1918-08-23

Before beginning the use Of disin-
fectant it is essential that certain pre-
liminary work be done in and about
the stable that is to be treated. The
various surfaces, such as ceilings,
walls, partitions, floors, ETC., should be
swept until free from cobwebs and
dust. Any accumulation Of filth
should be removed by scraping and
scrubbing. using for this purpose
wire or other stiff brush and warm
water with a liberal quantity of
washing soda. In some cases the
woodwork may have become softened
and so porous as to besa good me-
dunn for the absorption of disease
germs. Such woodwork should be
removed, burned, and replaced with
new material.
Remove Refuse Matter.
All refuse, manure, ETC., from sta
BILE and barnyard should be removed
to a place inaccessible to live stock
and, if possible, be burned or thor
oughly mixed with solution of chlor-
ide of lime in the proportion of six
ounces to one gallon Of water. If
the floor is of eartk, it will doubt
less have become stained with urine
and contaminated to a depth of sew
eral inches. In such cases four inches
or more of the surface soil should
be removed and treated as suggested
above for refuse and manure.
Having made ready the field opera
alton, the next consideration should
be the selection and preparation of
the disinfectant. The fact must not
be overlooked that many agents used
for the destruction Of bacteria are
likewise poisonous to animals and
man. In fact, some drugs, although
powerful as germicides, are so poi
sonous as to preclude their general
use in the work Of disinfection.
Among such, as previously stated, is
bichloride of mercury, which pos
sesses the power Of destroying not
only bacteria, but spores as well. 1t
is therefore essential in deciding upon
an agent to select one having known
germicidal strength, properties of sol
utility, and at the same time possess
ing reasonable degree of safety to
animals and man.
Method of Application.
The efficiency and economy Of the
work will depend in great measure
upon the method of applying the dis
infectant. Economy requires that the
flisinfecting solution be applied rap
idly; efficiency requires that it be
not only spread in such manner as
TO cover the entire surface requiring
disinfection, but that sufficient guam
tlty and force be used to drive the so

Usually most satisfactory results are
obtained with three-horse team, and
sometimes four horses are necessary
when the corn is heavy or the ground
billy. In ordinary yields, one man op-
Grating the binder will keep two men
busy gathering the bundles and shock
ing them. These three men cutting
and shocking by hand would scarcely
cover more than four acres in day
and it would be necessary to work
much harder than when the corn bind
er is used, thus the machine requiring
less laborious work takes from one
half to two-thirds as long to cut Civ
en- acreage.
When the binder is used for cut
ting corn for silage the labor of at
least two men will be saved as COM
pared to cutting by hand. One binder
will usually be able to cut the corn
as fast as IL or 14-inch- silage cutter
can handle it. A great deal of time
is saved in unloading at the cutter,
because the corn is in bundles, which
of the harvesting crew.
A bundle elevator attachment to the
corn binder saves further labor. BY
this attachment the bundles of corn
are delivered directly to wagon driv-
en- by the side of the binder. This
method eliminates another man in the
crew. When the bundles are dropped
from the binder to the ground two men
are generally required to hand them
up as fast as one man can arrange
them on the wagon. When an eleva-
tor attachment is used one man usual
ly arranges the bundles on the wagon
as they are delivered from the binder
and another man or boy drives the
team.
The platform harvester is the most
satisfactory machine when the acre
age in corn is not sufficiently large to
justify binder. This machine con-
sists of an A-shaped platform on low
wheels two sides of which are equip
ped with knives. 1t is drawn by one
horse, operated by two men. and cuts
the stalks as they are cut, and when
the shock is reached the horse is
stopped and the men carry the cut corn
to the shock. In cutting corn with
platform harvester for silage much
time can be saved and efficient work
done if wagon is driven alongside
the harvester and the corn placed on
1T directly as it is cut. By this method
approximately five acres of corn yield
ing 8 tons Of silage per acre consti-
tutes a fair days work. Two men
with a platform harvester and one
horse will cut and shock at least as
much corn in day as three men cut
ting by hand. This machine thus TAX
ing the place of one hired helper will
very nearly pay for itself in cutting 40
acres.

Where very limited surface is to

means of whitewash brush. In all
cases, however. the best method Of
applying the disinfectant and the lime

The entire interior Of the stable
