SCATTER ALL MANURE , Can Be Distributed in Cultivated Field to Advantage. If Fertilizers Are Spread lu Fields and Plowed Into Soil, They Will No Longer Give Protection to Insect Pests. (By C. R SANBORN, Department of En tomology. Oklahoma A. and M. College, Stillwater.) At this season of the year barnyard manures ?ind decaying waste can 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 account 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 ?flcial to a hog, such conditions are surely good for a man. A man only Hives one life, and this life should be ?one of practice rather than experiment. There are no grounds for supposing jthat 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 ?limination 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 Comers 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 mlniinum amount of silage muse 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. GIVE MEDICINE TO ANIMALS Do Not Administer Drugs to Horse Through Nose-Become Familiar With Its Action. Don't administer medicine to the horse, or any other animal, through the nose. Nature never intended thut way. ' Don't administer any drug to an ani mal until you are familiar with its ac tion, and exact condition of your pa tient. Don't administer medicine on the "gun shot" plan. MUD HASTENS HAIR SHEDDING Animal Wanted for Show at Fair Should Be Given Good Thick Wal? low-Add Disinfectant. I If that old boar or sow you are wanting to show at the fair Is not letting loose of her coat of hair, make her a wallow of good thick mud. Also put some disinfectant in the water and feed some oil cake meal and a few ! fresh laid eggs on the side will help, j I i Swans do not sing until they are old enough to know better. The tongue is the treacherous mem ber that gives the ugly brain away. Some young men will do well to marry a girl that has brains enough for two. "Are girls becoming ugly?" asks a London jiewspaper. No ; only their .clothes. The millennium will be here when low prices and high wages travel to gether. Despite the high cost of white pa per, foolish love letters continue to be written. Nothing ls so obstinate as a lot of figures that won't dovetail with one's sentiments. Sometimes a luxurious clerk who steals to live high gets a cell in the very top tier. A western doctor says golf is good for lunatics. Anyhow there's a lotX)f them playing it. Whatever else Is suggested, there Is plainly no .embargo on the wedding bells of the season. The automobile that turns turtle generally requires the gump who is driving it to turn pancake. The new dimes may be beautiful in design, but they won't purchase as much as the old kind did. The population of the United States is about 102,000,000. Now doesn't that make you feel insignificant? Now the population of the United States has passed the 100,000,000 mark. More mouths to feed I' "Once upon a time when eggs were 5 cents a dozen-" but all fairy stories begin with "once upon a time." Science would confer a great boon on humanity if it should isolate the germ of greed and find Its antidote. Laura Jenn Libbey says young peo ple should love sensibly. Would that be extracting about half the joy from lt? Casting bread upon the waters is probably a commendafle thing to do, but at ten cents a loaf it comes rather high. When a man complains that he can't get on a jury he reveals one of the best reasons why he isn't fit for jury duty. An Englishman would rather watch a Zeppelin descend in flames than see the finest display of fireworks ever de vised. , The news comes that Sardinia has been ravaged by a oyclone. This will give excuse for the price of sardines goiug up. The latest surgical opinion ls that cancer ls caused by high living. Then most of us are safe, for a little while anyway. Judging by their pictures, at least tlie medical authorities who warn us I against the perils of kissing are in 1 no danger. People can always find something to ' quarrel about. Whether it should be : "aviatrice" or "aviatrix" is now a bone of contention. With vegetables also getting into the ' altitudinuus list it's up to one of our * leading actresses to lose a necklace IS carrots fine. When a ton of dynamite is dropped I from an airship it seems a waste of I cable tolls to describe the material as a "high explosive." Some newspapers are still explain lng the last election, whereas the real forward-looking sheets are nt work on the dope for 1920. A pessimist predicts that beans in bean soup will be as scarce as oysters in oyster stews. It's hard to be cheer ful with people like that. What has become of the Alaskan whale that was to have proved a cheap substitute for meat? Has it gone tile way of the Belgian hare? "Great minds run in the same chan nel," says the adage. Proof is found tn editorials which appear simultane ously in some of the exchanges. A famous musician says that peace can be established only In a fondness for music. And yet most music lovers we've known produced awful discord. Few women become so literar.f that they won't drop the raciest novel ex tant, right at the point where the hero and heroine are married, to talk dress or hat. If the campaign that has boen start ed in the east to kill off the English sparrow should succeed, probably we would straightway wish he were.back again. A famous musician explains that peace can be established only in a fondness for music.
