OF INTEREST TO FARMERS j

HOG SANITATION
The term “sanitation” is used a
great deal nowadays in connection
with discussions on raising hogs.
Some have a clear idea of the
meaning of the term, while others
have not. Some men think that
they can produce sanitary surround- 1
ings by scattering some lime in the j
yards or in the hog houses or by
spraying the ground with a good dip
or with some substance having a
strong odor. There are conditions
under which disinfectants of this
sort will do good in the way of de
stroying disease germs and para
sites, but when it comes to treating
a good sized hog lot with disinfect
ants in hopes of accomplishing
something really worth while, one
usually meets with disappointment.
Thus the question of sanitation so
far as raising hogs Is concerned re
volves Itself into raising the pigs on
new ground or ground that has not
been occupied by hogs for a year or
two and which in the meantime has
been used for growing crops so na
ture has had a chance to destroy
the parasite eggs and disease pro
ducing germs. Don't imagine that
you can get rid of roundworm eggs
by ordinary methods of spraying
the yards or hog houses with dip
>r other similar preparations. Those
products have their place, but they
are of no value in destroying round
worm eggs or disease producing
germs embedded in manure and lit
ter. By raising the pigs according
to the so called McLean county sys
tem, that Is by putting them on
dean ground, remember that not
only are parasites avoided, but also
the common hog disease, such as
pneumonia and necrotic infections.
By sanitation, then, is meant the
jreation and maintenance of an
environment that is sale for animal
life and in this particular case, for
pig life. A hog lot cannot be disin
fected In the sense that we ordi
narily understand the practice. Na
ture with the aid of cultivation and
:ropping and time will purify the
soil , and while this process is going
in in an old lot use another piece of
ground—ground that is free from
parasites as well as disease produc
ing germ life. Bear these things in
mind and put them into practice
this spring.— While it is true that
pigs affected with worms can be
given medicine that will expel the
parasites and that germ diseases
:an be controlled with the proper
treatment, it is always much better
practice and a great deal more
economical to avoid these growth
ieterrent factors in the first place.
Prevention is better than cure and
nowhere does this statement apply
setter than in the hog lot.

FIGHTING ANT PEST
Ants are causing considerable
damage and bother to housekeepers,
gardeners and beekeepers. In almost
every case where the annoyance
from ants has occurred In houses
these pest have been attracted by
some form ol sweet food. House
keepers report that ants are getting
Into pantries and carrying away the
sweet foods. Gardeners say that
ants are found on various plants.
Including peonies, tulips and others,
Beekeepers complain about damage
done by ants in robbing honey and
annoying the bees in the colonies.
Ants do not injure plants but are
attracted to plants to gather the
secretions which come from them
a sweet substance called honey
dew. A knowledge of ants’ fond
ness for sweets has led to the
discovery of a simple but effective
control. Cut a sponge up into small
pieces and soak them in sirup. The
sweetened pieces are then strewn
along the pathway of the invading
ants. In a short time they will
cluster around the sponges and
cling to them. The sponges, now
covered with feeding ants, can be
dropped Into boiling water. This
process can be repeated many
times. Another method of control
suggested is to mix 20 parts of
honey with one part of tartar em
etic. The bait should lie placed on
small pieces of cardboard where
only the ants will get hold of it.
Other insects such as bees will be
attracted by the poison bait, and
for that reason it should be hidden
in the pathways of the ants under
something. Various cyanide com
pounds are now on the market.
One cyanide compound which goes
by the name of cyanogas costs
little and Is very effective. This
material when applied on top of an
ant hill forms a deadly gas which
penetrates the entire colony. About
a tablespoonful Is all that is re
quired to kill a hill of ants. Care
should be taken when applying the
poison not to breath it. as it is very
poisonous. All grass and weeds on
an ant hill are killed where cyano
gas Is applied, but the following
year will grow ai|ain.
BOOST CO-OPERATION
No doubt more will be said and
written about agricultural co-opera
tion in the next 5 or 10 years than
has been the aase up to the present.
This at any rate will prove true if
the fanners themselves give the
movement the support they should.
The new agricultural marketing act,
if it is to prove of value to agri
culture in this country, makes it
necessary for the farmers to co
operate with each other more ex
tensively and on a larger scale than
they have ever done before. Those
opposed to co-operation among
farmers, which unfortunately In
cludes a considerable percentage of
the farmers themselves, constantly
point to failures of co-operatives in
the past and from those failures rea
son that there can be nothing but
failure in the future. There is no
use in denying that there have been
many failures In the past, but to
say that nothing has been learend
from those misfortunes Is a grave
error. There is plenty of evidence to
prove that past failures have been
used as stepping stones to progress.
When the fruit growers of the Pa
cific coast started to organize co
operative marketing associations
they did not understand the funda
mental principles underlying what
they were attempting to do and
TO KILL WEEVILS
Weevils in stored grain will do
much damage if not killed as soon
as discovered. Fumigation with car
bon bisulphide will dispose of them
without damaging the food or germ
inating quality of the grain. Car- ;
bon bisulphide is a liquid that can
be purchased in tightly sealed cans
at any drug store. When released in
the air it evaporates rapidly into a
gas which is heavier than air. This
gas, mixed with air, is inflammable,
and all lights should be kept away
from a grain bin which is being
fumigated with it, and the person j
doing the fumigating should breathe ;
ajt uttk- as nnssible of the aas. An

naturally many of them ca:.ne to
grief. Out of these early attempts,
however, have come several .strong
co-operative associations that are
far more efficient marketing as
sociations than private associations
organized for the same purpose have
ever been. This is true not only
from the standpoint of the producer
but also from that of the consumer.
The fruit co-operatives have been
remarkably successlul in recent
years as have also a great many of
our dairy co-operatives. In other
words farmers have demonstrated
that by working together they can
greatly Improve the present market
ing system and the lime Is at hand
when farmers as well as other* i
should get into their thinking that
farmers marketing associations will
soon become an established insti
tution in this country, that they are
practical and that they will react
favorably upon the Income of th»
farmer and make for more econ
omical production. From now or
when thinking about farmers co
operative marketing associations, dc
not think about past failures but
study the many outstanding suc
cesses that have been made in the
last decade or so. It Is important
that we assume the right mental at
titude toward the co-operative
movement.

SILO LABOR SAVING
As silo filling time draws near
many farmers in all parts of the
country are preparing to follow a
plan which differs greatly from silo
filling in the days of the steam
powered rig and the large crew. It
is the small crew plan. The small
crew plan is essentially labor sav
ing. Only two men are necessary
to till a silo. When the binder is
equipped with a bundle elevator,
two loads may be cut and put on
the racks without the hard labor of
pitching the bundles by hand. The
loads are then drawn to the silo
and rim through the cutter as it
takes only a minute to start the
tractor which furnishes the belt
power, or to turn the switch which
starts an electric motor. Experi
ment stations and practical experi
ence have proved that tramping is
not necessary for keeping the silage
and in many cases this job has
been eliminated when filling is
done slowly. Nel her is it necessary
to have a man at the feed table of
the modern ensilage cutter. An
other plan, which is often used, is
to have one man running the bind
er, when it is not equipped with an
elevator, and the other hauling to
the cutter with a low geared or un
derslung rack. When the first man
has enough corn cut ahead he can
hitch on to a second rack and start
hauling also. Ten to 15 loads of
fodder may be easily ensiled in a
day and the work done the same a*
any regular season’s job. The old
method of calling in all the neigh
bors was more expensive both from
the standpoint of labor and the ne
cessity of feeding such a large crew

REPLACING GRAPE VINES
The ordinary method of replacing
missing grape canes is to replant
the vacant places with one or twe
year old canes. In too many cases,
this results in failure—due to lack
of cultivation or by being smothered
by strong growing neighboring
canes. It is an easy matter to re
place missing canes by saving one
of the long canes from a neighbor
ing plant. This cane should be 10 oi
12 feet long. Cut away all of the
side branches on it, then train out i
cn the lower wire. Make a shallow .
trench where the missing olant
stood. Pin down with a forked stick
and cover. Draw the end of cane
straight up to trellis above. If the
cane is the strong fruiting kind, it
may produce some very fine fruit
the first season, after layering. Dc
not sever the cane from the old
plant until it has had two seasons'
growth. One can replace grapevines
across the cultivated space between
rows, but here it will be necessary
to dig a six inch trench and lay the
cane down in it so that will not in
terfere with cultivation, or be des
troyed by the shovels of the cultiva
tor. --
YOUTHFUL LEADERS
Accounts of the productive results
and earnings of 4-H Club boys and
girls make mighty cheery reading
But they do not disclose the full
value of this work. “It has been the
observation of tho e in contact with
college students who have been 4-H
Club members that they are con
siderably above the average college
students. It is our impression that
they come to college with a definite
purpose in mind and know better
what they are coming to college for
than does the average student. The
great merit of 4-H Club work is that
the boy and girl are inspired to do
things on their own initiative and
responsibility, and to try to do them
better than the common practice.
Such trailing naturally develops
self-reliance and an increased ca
pacity In the individual. So it is
not to be wondered at that 4-H Club
bovs and girls turn out to be “above
the average.”
THE “GAS" AGE
Power has come to be the key
word in modern farming because
the efficient use of power leads
not only to economy but to time
liness. There is very likely a “best
time” for every field operation in
in crop production. Ample farm
power and good equipment enable
the farm operator to get the job
done more nearly at the proper
time. It can be said without ex
aggeration that power farming has
done more to overcome the handi
cap of unfavorable weather con
ditions than any other recent de
velopment in agriculture. The
power farmer can keep his machin
ery going 24 hours a day if neces
sary when time is short. Hot
weather phases him but little. It
is difficult to determine just how
much the element of timeliness
means to agriculture from the eco
nomic standpoint but its import
ance is plainly evident.

important part of the fumigating
process is keeping the bin sealed as
tightly as possible. The work should
be done on a calm day when the
temperature is above 65 degrees.
Eight to 15 pounds of the liquid are
necessary for fumigating 1,000 cubic
feet of bin space. When figuring the
space it is necessary to take into
account the entire bin, not just the
volume of the grain. The liquid may
be placed in large pans on top of
the grain, or burlap bags or cotton
waste, saturated with it, may be
buried in the grain. The bin should
remain tightly closed for at least
36 hours after the fumigant has
haan annlied.

Insects Borne by Wind
Travel Long Distances
The race is not always to tlie strong,
at least not in the case of insects.
This has been determined by the use
of an insect trap carried on nn air
plane operated by the Department of
Agriculture. “So far, It seems that
the stronger flyers, although influ
enced by the air current to a certain
extent in their directions of travel, are
aide to confine themselves to compar
atively low altitudes and have rather
definite control over their directions of
travel,” says the report. “The weaker
flyers, however, are not so successful
in offsetting air currents, and appar
ently many of them are carried abso
lutely ns the wind takes them. Species
which never before have been suspect
ed of being wind-borne have been
caught at great elevations.” As un
