Every year the people of the United
States lose over 500, 100000 directly
(and no one knows how much indi-
rectly) through diseases of farm ami
mails. This Is large toll when d.
Eided on per capita basis, and when
II comes home to the farm stock-rais-
er who finds valuable animal dead in
the barn, or an epidemic spreading in
to his herd, the loss is sometimes disas-
trOus. The most regrettable feature
Of the case is that probably three
fOurths of the loss could be prevented.
Five Causes of Disease.
There are five principal causes of
disease and death of farm animals =
contagious diseases, sporadic disease,
parasitic troubles, accidents and neg
lect. Contagious diseases can be
avoided, or at least their consequences
greatly diminished, if farmers will
learn to cooperate with the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the various state livestock and SAM
tary authorities. who are striving to
maintain animal health. Farmers
should report promptly TO the nearest
officials any suspicion of the presence
of contagious disease, and they should
observe carefully all regulations in re-
gard TO quarantine, sanitation, and
care of animals, as protection against
cOntagion.
tuberculosis is one of the worst
scOurgeS among animals ant it thrives
best in damp, dark, ill-ventilated sta
bles. 1t is less common among ami
mails running at large. Light, dry,
wefl-ventilated stables and dry, clean
barnyards or paddOcks are essential to
the health of farm animals. One val
liable point in combating contagious
diseases, especially tuberculosis. is to
start the herd with animals that not

WELL TO Do FARMER

'Since Tanlac has overcome my

straightforward statement made Il
few days ago by H. w. Boring, q
prominent and well-to-dO farmer liv-

During the two years l suffered /

CLEANING UP INSECT PESTS
Many of alternating Species May Be
Destroyed in Winter BY Clean
ing Up Obscure Corners.

Much can be done now to reduce the
possibility of insect plaques next
summer If little effort is directed to
ward the destruction of insect shelter
areas. Around the grounds and gar
dens. under hedges, beside bitches, and
In fence corners are lunches of insect
sheltering weeds or grass. By the
time cold weather approaches many
kinds of insects in the adult or imma-
ture stages have taken full advantage
of these hooks and hidden away there
for the winter. The bureau of ento-
mOlogy, United States Department of
Agriculture, says that if these spots
are cleaned up and the refuse cut and
burned. many of these alternating in
sects will be destroyed and the dam
age from such pests during the com
ing season will be materially Iessened.

peat the layers until all the waste has
been disposed of and then cover the
whole with layer of earth.
If it is desired to add TO the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material
emptied into the hole thus made. This
is convenient for the suburban home
where there is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste. In the spring the
heap Is well mixed with a fork and
the compost is ready TO be spread on
the garden plot. The heating manure
will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the
structure of most of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile.
The process may be continued indefi-
nitely by simply adding enough
manure TO insure heating. Compost is
especially valuable for use In hOtbeds
