PRACTICAL WORK OF DISINFECTION ' Thoroughness in Performing Op eration Is Important for Se curing Best Results. PRELIMINARY WORK NEEDED USE MACHINERY FOR, CUTTING CORN CROF Binders and Platform Harvesters Save Man-Power and Energy. Various Surfaces Should Be Swept Clean and All Refuse Matter Re moved Selection and Prep aration of Disinfectant. (From tho. United Stntca Department of Acrlculturo.) ? In tho practical work of (lis- 2 Infection there are three essen- T tlnls: X 1. A preparation of the T building that will facilitate X reaching organisms of disease. X 2. A disinfectant which upon contact can be depended upon to destroy such organisms. 3. A method of applying the disinfectant that will assuro the most thorough contact with the X bacteria. Before beginning the use of disin fectant It Is essentlnl that certain pre liminary work bo done In nnd about tho stable thnt Is to bo treated. Tho various surfaces, such us ceilings, walls, partitions, floors, etc., should bo swept until free from cobwebs nnd dust. Any accumulation of filth should be removed by scraping and scrubbing, using for this purpose a wire or other stiff brush nnd warm water with n llbernl quantity of waRhlng soda. In some cases the woodwork may have become softened nnd so porous ns to bo a good me dium for the absorption of dlseaso germs. Such woodwork should bo removed, burned, and replaced with new mnterlnl. Remove Refuse Matter. All refuse, manure, etc., from stable- nnd bnrnyartl should bo removed to a place Inaccessible to live stock nnd, If possible, bo burned or thor oughly mixed with a solution of chlor ide of lime in the proportion of six ounces to one gnllon of water. If the floor Is of earth, It will doubt less have become stained with urine and contaminated to n depth of sev eral Inches. In such cases four Inches or more of the surface soil should be removed nnd treated ns suggested above for refuse nnd manure. Having made ready the field opera atlon, the next consideration should be the selection and preparation of tho disinfectant. The fact must not bo overlooked that many agents used for the destruction of bacteria arc likewise poisonous to animals nnd man. In fact, some drugs, although powerful ns germicides, nro so poi sonous as to preclude their general use In tho work of disinfection. Among- such, ns previously stated, is bichloride of mercury, which pos sesses tho power of destroying not only bacteria, but spores as well. It is therefore essential In deciding upon nn agent to select one having a known germicidal strength, properties of sol ubility, and nt the same time possess ing a reasonable degree of safety to unlmnls and man. Method of Application. The efllcleucy nfid economy of the work will depend In n great mensuro upon the method of applying the dis infectant. Economy requires that the disinfecting solution bo applied rap Idly i elllclency requires that It bo not only spread In such manner as to cover the entire surface requiring disinfection, but thnt sufficient quan tity and force bo weed to drlvo tho so- Performing Task by Hand la Hard Dlsaureeablo Job Bundle Eleva tor Attachment Eliminates Ono Man In the Crew. (Prepared by tho United States Depart mcnt of Agriculture.) This year when farm help la so llm Ued, tliero Is nn urgent need for lnbor saving machinery wherover possible One man with n corn knlfo by work lng hard can cut and shock nn nvcr age of acres n day. Two men wltt n platform harvester can hnrvest 1 01 5 acres In tho same tlmo and three hien with u corn binder In n teu-houi dny can cut and shock from 7 to f acres. Cutting corn by hand Is n hard disagreeable tusk, tho bulletin points out, nnd the time 'when It should b done Is limited to a few days If th full feeding Value of the corn is to be retained. Fall plowing, sending foi winter wheat and digging potatoes must be done on tnnny farms at nboul the snu:o time. In such cases, th timeliness and ease of accomplishing the work are determining factors In deriding the advisability of using cora cutting machinery. Tho corn binder does the best worl) when the corn Is all standing upright Pail Spraying Pump Suitable for Dis infecting Small Stables. lutlon Into nil cracks and crevices. Where a very limited surfnee is to be treated, as, for example, one stall, it may be possible to apply the disin fectant In a satisfactory manner by menns of n whitewash hrush. In all enses, however, the best method of applying the disinfectant and the Umo wash Is by means of 'a strong spray pump. Tho enUre interior of the stable should bo. saturated with tho disin fectant Special attention should bo given to the feeding troughs and drains. After tho disinfectant has dried, the surface may bo sprayed with lime wash, provided this hns not been combined with tho disinfect ant' ns previously described. When tho work has been completed It will be advisable to open all doors and windows of the building for tho ad- I mission of air and light. Labor-Saving Methods of Harvesting Corn. Usually most satisfactory results are obtained with a three-horse team, nnd sometimes four horses are necessary when tho corn Is heavy or the ground hilly. In ordlnnry yields, ono mnn op eratlng the binder will keep two men busy gathering the bundles nnd shock lng them. These three men cutting and shocklilg by hnod would scarcely cover more than four acres in a day and It would be necessnry to work much harder than when the corn bind er Is used, thus tho machine requiring less Inborlous work takes from one- hnlf to two-thirds as long to cut a glv en acreage. When tho binder Is used for cut ting corn for silage tho lnbor of at least two men will bo saved us com pared to cutting by hand. Ono binder will usunlly bo able to cut the corn ns fnst as a 12 or 14-lnch sllnge cutter can handle. It. A great denl of tlmo Is saved In unloading nt tho cutter. because the corn Is In bundles, which enables a further reduction in the size of the harvesting crew. A bundle elevator attachment to the corn binder saves further labor. By this attachment the bundles of corn nre delivered directly to a wagon drlv en by the side of the hinder. This method eliminates another man In the crew. When tho bundles are dropped from the binder to tho ground two men are generally required to hand them up ns fast as ono mnn can arrange them on tho wagon. When an clevn tor nttnehmont Is used one man usual ly arranges the bundles on the wagon as they are delivered from the binder and another man or boy drives tho team. . The platform harvester Is the most satisfactory machine when tho acre ago in corn is not sufficiently lnrco justify n binder. This machine eon slsts of nn A-shnped plntform on low wneels two sides of which are enuln ped with knives. It is drawn by ono norse, operated by two men, nnd cuts two rows nt a time. The men gather the stalks us they ore cut, and when me shock is reached the horse stopped nnd tho men carry the cut corn 10 tno shock. In cutt nc corn with platform harvester for silage much timo can he saved and ofllclent work done if n wncon Is driven n1nni?Rlrir the harvester and tho corn placed on It directly as It Is cut. By this method approximately flvo ocres of corn yield ing 8 tons of silage per aero consti tutes a fair day's work. Two men with n platform harvester and one horso will cut nnd shock nt least ns much corn In n day as threo men cut ting by hand. This mnchlno thus tnk lng the place of one hired helper will vey nearly pay for Itself In cutting -10 acres. Avoid Damp Grass. Don't allow the hens to run the chicks through the damp grass on dewy mornings or rainy duys. !" 1 ft. V? "X J .HliaVamUWLt 7 'Bvry Picture "IL Help That Weak Back!

Packers' Costs and Profits How much do you think it costs 1. To dress beef, care hides, end prepare all the nrtmeroas by products? 2. To cool the meat for two or three days before shipment? 3. To freight it to all parts off the country in special refrige rator cars, iced daily ? 4. To carry it in hundreds of branch houses, each with its refrigerating plant? 5. And to deliver it to the retailer sweet and fresh in less than two weeks after dressing? Swift & Company did all this for you in 1917 at an expense of less than 2lz cents per pound of beef sold, mcludihg an average profit of Va of a cent a pound. Figure for yourself how little effect this cost and profit had on prices you paid for beefsteak. Swift & Company, U.S. A.
