and mules busy, but that is equiv alent to saying that the tillable land of Arkansas could be farmed with less mules, hence the super fuous mules and horses are an un- necessary expense.
 Viewed from this angle it is easy enough to show that with properly arranged crop systems we could dis pense with 150,000 work animals whose annual keep including inter- est, depreciation and various incl dentals amounts to at least $17O per animal per year, or total of $25, 100000 for the state.
 The inefficiency of this condition of affairs should be clear to all. It is simply the result of habit and the lack of study and planning. It is waste and neconomic sin, and is, in sense, mora loffense just as all waste is moral offense.
 How much is wasted by the lost time of men, the writer will refrain from estimating; but he is too ia miliar with farm life to even inti-

 Arkansas, Says Mir. McNair.

The largest loss that occurs on the farms of Arkansas and other states is through the lost time of me hand mules. This lost time for horses and mules alone amounts to $25, 100000 year for this state, is the estimate of A. D. McNair, farm management specialist with the Ar kansas agriculturist extentfon di- vision.
 Estimates are frequently made by various specialists of the amount of money lost through bad farm practices. The plant pathologist tells how much is lost on account of plant diseases. The animal in dustry specialist how much is lost through animal diseases, and the cotton specialist tells not only how ,, much is lost by cotton insects and diseases, but how much is lost by permitting baled cotton to lie ex posed to the weather. A recent estimate of this latter loss is $50, OO0,000 a year for the entire south
 That is, indeed a big loss, yet in our own state the value of thu lost time of horses and mules il nearly or quite as much as the ex posture loss on all the baled cottor i nthe south, fact which can b, seen and appreciated by the consid eration of a few simple figures. The average time spent by horse and mules on crop work is show by the writer's investigations, to b 75 to 80 days per year and thes figures are in substantial agreemen wit hthose of investigators in othe states. It is not difficult, however to advise and plan crop system that will keep them busy 125 day a year and then arrange other worl of productive character that wi add a good many days to this. It i conservative estimate to say tha 50 days work per year can be added to the productive labor of eacl work animal and this, for the 800
 900 or more work animals of tn state, amounts to $25,O00,000 pc year.
 It may be said in criticism O this reasoning that if such crol systems were in vogue there woul, not be enough acres of tillabl

their neighbors, and purchasing them together is the suggestion of A. D. McNair, farm management specialist with the agricultural ex- tension division.
 A two-horse or a one-horse grain drill is an implement which is used only one or two days by each far mer each year; three or four far mers might easily use the same drill. It is a very simple imple- ment and there is not much to get out of order. There are no rapidly revolving parts, hence breakages and repairs are few. Also, the time of using it may be spread over a considerable period during the fall months, so from every standpoint the grain drill is suitable for CO., operative purchase and use.
 Another machine is saw outfit. Farmers consume good deal of wood as fuel, and most of them saw it with cross-cut saws when it would be easier and cheaper to use a saw outfit with a gasoline en- zine as power. This is not as sim pile a machine as the grain drill yet is it not difficult to operate and does not have to be used at the same time by each farmer. It is therefore, entirely practicable for several farmers to use the same machine. In some cases, perhaps it might be just as well flor one farmer to own the machine anG others to pay a certain sum to have their wood sawed. This i: indeed the better practice with sucl machine as the self-binder, be cause this machine is so compile, and so subject to getting out oi order in the hands of untrainet men that it does not lend itsel1 readily to cooperative ownership and use.

 BACK OCT. 1; CONFUSION

Laboring under the impression that the daylight saving law was repealed, effective October 1, Post master John J. Holt of Picher, Okla, proceeded to turn back the postoffice clock there that morning.

dsinfectant. Put just enough kero- sene oil in the drinking water to make thin film over the top and remove other containers. After three or four days change the water and put enough potassium perman- ganate in the drinking founts to turn it a pink color. This is a disinfectant and not a cure. Birds that are severely affected, unless they are valuable, should be killed and burned.
 Sorehead or chicken pox is quite prevalent in the fall, usually dur ing the damp, rainy season. At first, small gray spots appear on These spots increase in size and extent, covering the head and comb with scabs, sometimes even closing the eyes. In extreme cases it spreads to other parts of the body. This is a very contagious disease and all sick birds should be re- moved and the building and equip ment thoroughly disinfected The diseased birds should be treated in- dividually. The crust or nodules should be removed and the spots treated with 2 per cent solution of creolin or II ,000 solution of bi- chloride of mercury and then dust with iodoform. Another treatment t.2. VII sometimes give satisfac- tion is to grease the spots with car bolated vaseline or to apply tine ture of iodine to the spots.
 The fiocks should be watched veery closely for the outbreaks of these two diseases. If treatment is started at once, no serious trouble will be encountered. If, however, the diseases get well started, it is very hard to control them.

Co-Operative Use of Farm
 Implements.

The cost of many farm imple- ments is so great that many small farmers in the south who are op- erating small farms can not af- ford to purchase them. The inter- est, depreciation and repairs on the implement or machine is too heavy for fixed charge considering the few days each year that it is used or the small acreage which it covers. Nevertheless, farmers need to use labor-saving implements and machinery, and where the business is not large enough to warrant the purchase they may co-opers+a with
