the presence Of fine dust, which tends
to close their breathing pores. For
that reason, it is best to keep the sur.

Most fungous diseases such as eel.

held In check by spraying with Dor

Where both insects and fungi are
present, it is well to add two pounds
Of arsenate of lead paste to the 80 gal

people is shown by the fact that these
two classes are always welcome and

Men are invited to picnics on ac-
count Of their lovable attributes and
their ability to produce FIRE out of

out a few men to build the Ere and
eat all of the surplus potato salad
would be a greater failure than an at
tempt to sell envelope chemises on the
African coast. Unmarried men are
much sought after at pienlcs, as they
know how to hang a hammock and
also how to disport themselves there
in. One of the most pathetic sights in
life is picnic party composed entire

Picnics would be more popular If
they were held on high. dry ground,

A medicinal preparation that has real

an endless chain system the remedy is

benefited. to those who are in need Of it.

suits, as many of my customers testify.

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have

prepared by the United States Depart

The cleaning and dislnfection Of
railroad stock cars is an important
means Of preventlng-9he spread Of in
fictitious diseases Of live stock. In con-
nection with federal control over the
Interstate transportation Of live stock,
administered by the bureau of animal
industry, II Is required that all such
cars or other vehicles which have con
tanned animals affec1ehwith commu-
nlcable disease. such as tick fever,
scabies of sheep and cattle, hog chol-
era, ETC., be cleaned and dislnfected
under bureau supervision before being
again used in Interstate commerce.
Federal inspection.
All live stock received at public
stockyards or at official slaugbtering
establishments are inspected at the
time they are received by employees
Of the bureau Of animal industry. II
any animals are found to be affected
with a communicable disease the car
rier which brought them TO their des-
tlnation is at once notified to have the
car or other vehicle set aside and
thoroughly cleaned. After that has
been accomplished II is dlgnfected
under the personal supervision of a
federal employee.
Cars Must Be Cleaned.
Various states also have regulations
requiring that cars must be- cleaned
and disinfected before being fused in
the transportation of certain classes
OF live stock. The bureau Of lanimal
industry co-operates with such. states
by having It's employees at central
markets supervise the cleaning and
disinfectlon Of cars In compliance with
the requirements Of the state to which
any stock may be destined.
An idea Of the magnitude Of this
work may be gathered from the fact
that during the fiscal year ended June
80, 1919, bureau employees personally
supervised the dlsiufection of 44.s43
cars. In addition a large number Of
motor trucks were handled In the
same manner.

OBTAIN LARGER CORN YIELD
Field Selection Of Seed Ears Is Best,
According to Reports From
Ohio Station.

The Ohio station reports that Sc
Iecting seed ears from the standing
corn increased yields three and a
quarter bushels to the acre. One rea-
son why field selection is best. the
station points out, is that It gets the
ears which excel because Of Unborn
merit, rather than those favored by
growing on a rich spot in the field or
produced from a One-stalk hill. The
superior ear that comes from a three
stalk hill on the average soil of the
field is better for seed purposes.
