SCATTER ALL MANURE
. Can Be Distributed in Cultivated
Field to Advantage.
If Fertilizers Ard Spread in, Fields
and Plowed Into Soil, They Will
No Longer Give Protection
to Insect Pests.
(By C. E. SANBORN, Department of En
tomology. Oklahoma. A. and M. College,
Stillwater.)
At this season of the year barnyard
manures ?nd decaying waste eau be
distributed in the cultivated field to a
, marked advantage. Fertilizers con
sisting of manure and decaying straw
and hay furnish excellent harboring
places for gnats, bugs and flies that not
only menace the farm crops, 'but also
live stock and humanity.
If the manure and garbage are scat
tered in the open fields and plowed
Into the soil they will no longer give
protection to the farm insect pests.
The value derived from increased pro
duction on accouut of increased fer
tility will more than pay for the la
bor. The civic improvement brought
about by clean yards and barns will
increase the value of the premises. The
air will be purer and the disease germs
fewer, and the infection to both man
and stock reduced to a minimum.
Much has already been discussed
relative to the removal of manures and
filth for the purpose of freeing the
premises of hog cholera. Experts have
Spreading Manure Properly.
clearly demonstrated that cleanliness ls
" one of the best preventives for hog
?cholera. ,
Now, If sanitary conditions are bene
iflcial to a hog, sucL conditions are
surely good for a man. A man only
Hives one life, pnd this life should be
?one of practice rather than experiment.
There are no grounds for supposing
?that accumulation of filth and manure
,can have, no effect on the vitality of a
human being living in the vicinity of lt.
If a man thinks that his obligations
are -finished when he furnishes food
and clothing for his family he is
wrong. He should share his Intelli
gence and demonstrate by putting sani
tary actions into practice for family
health protection. A family well
dressed and well fed. but without
health, is no particular benefit to a
community.
, Nearly all the prevalent ills of the
body are either directly or indirectly
disseminated by the housefly. The
fly cannot develop without breeding
places. Such places are generally con
taminated with disease germs of vari
ous kinds. The- elimination of the
breeding places will rid the country of
the flies, and also carry many of the
germs which they commonly carry.
Scatter the manure.
POINTS IN BUILDING SILOS
9 i
Huge Receptacle Must Be Airtight,
Perpendicular and Free From
Corners and Projections.
In selecting and building a silo the
following points fundamental to its
success should be kept in mind : To
be satisfactory a silo must be airtight,
perpendicular and free from corners
or projections on the inside. A round
silo, therefore, is the best type.
The doors must be tight fitting and
close together so that a miuiinum
amount of silage mus: be removed in
order to open the door. A continuous
door is, therefore, advisable.
Build your silo rigid and able to
withstand strong winds. Construct it
so freezing will be reduced to the mini
mum.
