USE ~DlS!NFECTANTS
TO PREVENT LOSSES
Sanitary Terms Are Explained for
Benefit of Laymen.
Condensed information Prepared by
Department of Agriculture for
Those Farmers Who Misun-
derstand Correct Use.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
folntlng out that an insecticide Is
not a dependable disinfectant and that
there is a wide difference between an
a"ntiseptic and a deodorant, the United
States Department of Agriculture en-
phasizes the use of the right prep
aration in disinfecting premises. San
itation is especially important in
preventing losses from animal diseases.
and, along with attention to cleanli-
ness, disinfectants are frequently nee
essary, especially after an outbreak of
a contagious disease. Here is con-
denSed information on the subject,
prepared as u result of the depart
ment's experience in advising persons
who misunderstood the purpose and
correct use Of disinfectants.
The word infected" means con-
taminated with or affected by disease
germs "disinfected" means freed of
disease germs. A "~dislnfectant" is a
product that destroys disease germs
or renders them harmless. An anti
septic" is a substance that prevents
the development and growth Of disease
germs, but an antiseptic is not q diSin-
fectant unless it is capable Of de-
stroying disease germs in addition to
preventing their growth.
A diSinfeCtant is not necessarily an
"insecticide," for some powerful dis
infectantS are relatively harmless for
insects and the best insecticides may
be Of little value as dis.nfectants.
FOrmaldehyde is one of the most
powerful disinfectants known, but ii
Is a very weak insecticide; and, con.
versely, hydrocyaniC acid is deadly for
insects and all forms of animal life,
while it has little power as a germi-
eide or d~iSinfectant. 1t is well to
remember also that "deOdorants' are
not necessarily disinfeCtants-one de-
strOys OdOrS, the other destroys germs.
No single disinfectant is appropriate
in all cases. Select the proper sub
stance, apply literally, allow ample
time for the disinfectant to do it's
work. and remember that success de-
Ponds in large part upon the care and
eXactness of the person who prepares
and applies the d"isinfectant.

Two Hithevc unrecognized Types

Two hitherto unrecognized geo.

of Agriculture. THIS general Kind %
skunk ranges for the most par, from
southern South America north t.
southern Arizona, where II reaches T.
northernmost limits. One Of the two
new forms, known as the Arizona
hog-nosed skunk, Is found In southern
New Mexico. aud Arizona; the other
the Nelson hog -nosed skunk, is native
to Mexico.
The fur of the hog-nosed skunk l.
not SO valuable as u M of the ordinary
black skunk owing to the poorer tex

much of the back are white. Thi.
type of skunk is better equipped fo

CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS IN U. S.
Map Made Showing Approximate Per
centage OF Animals lnfects cd
With Disease.

Tests Of thousands of herds through
out the country have enabled the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture TO make a map showing the ap-
proximate percentage Of cattle in va
rious states and counties infected with
tuberculosis.
In nearly half the country, largely
IN the South and Southwest. il is
shown that less than ] per cent Of the
cattle have the disease. In other
parts of the country the infection
runs from ] 70 u per cent, and in still
other localities, a~ggregating more than
$4,000 square miles, more than % per
cen are believed TO be tuberculOus.
The figures are based on five years
Of systematic testing, and should
prove of value in directing eradication
work.

LEADERS IN EXTENSION WORK
Reports Show az Young Men and

Reports to the United States De-

young men and women. who. as boys

are now acting as local leaders OF ex-

Cutting Down Time Of Apprenticeship


The Industrial association Of San
Francisco. CAL, has started a school OF
apprentices with some novel features.
The boys have been divided into three
classes and n class moves along be-
hind the other. The first two weeks
will be spent in school after which
they will be put TO work as assistant
helpers for four weeks after which
they vii; return 10 school and so on
during the term Of their apprentice
ship. In this manner of alternating
the school and shop experience II is
anticipated that from IL TO Is months
will be saved and the boys will be
f~ull-fledged plumbers In two and a half
or three years instead Of four. The
apprentices will be paid for the time
they are at work. but not for the time
at school.

EATERS OF WOOD
Odd Cietetic Habit That Is by No
Means Rare.

Wood Is generally eaten even when
fish is plentiful, their favorite dish be
ing prepared by scraping off thin lay
ers Immediately under the bark OF
larch logs, chopping them fine and boil
ing them up with snow.
Ii generally turns out that dietetic
habits which at first sight seem curl

tues Of cod-liver oil no longer rest on
empirical experience and a vague idea
that its efficacy was proportional to its
nastineSs the reputation of fresh vege-
tables was gained In the days before
the Dutch taught us to grow turnips,
and hardy cabbages, and when some
thing like scurvy was an annual expe-
rience of the early spring.
Ii is interesting to guess the rea-
son for wood eating. The cellulose
which forms so large a part OF a
herbivorous diet Is now recognized as
being a subsidiary source of energy
through the fatty acids produced in
the stomach and bowels by cellulose-
splitting bacteria. But the modified
forms of cellulOsc which form the mass
of tree trunks are hardly attacked by
the bacteria OF the %alimentary canal
Ii is possible that the Siberians have
by practice and habit so altered their
intestinal fora that they can deal
with iignin with advantage. but this
seems a troublesome way of getting
energy when fish and milk are avail
able. and II appears hardly likely that
the explanation of w~o0d-eating lies
along these lines.

ment no rationale. Ii Is curious TO note
that il fails in line with the tastes OF
some other animals. The fOndness of
