STRICT SANITATION NEEDED Contagious Maladies, Sporadic All. ments, Parasitic Troubles, Acci dents and Neglect Are All Quite Disastrous. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Every year the people of the United States lose over $200,000,000 directly (and no one snows how much indi rectly) through diseases of farm ani mals. This is a large toll when di vided on a per capita basis, and when It comes home to the farm stock-rais er who finds a valuable animal dead in the barn, or an epidemic spreading in to his herd, the los is isometimes disas trous. The most regrettable feature of the case is that probably three fourths of the loss could be prevented. Five Causes of Disease. There are five principal causes of Disease and death of farm animals - contagious diseases. sporadic disease, parasitic troubles, accidents and neg lect. Contagious diseases caln lie avoided, or at least their counseqlllences greatly dimInished, if farmers will learn to co-operate with the United States Department of Agriculture and the various state livestock and sani tary authorities, who are striving to maintain animal health. Farmers should report promptly to the nearest officials any suspicion of the presence of contagIous disease, and they should observe carefully all regulations in re gard to quarantine, saniltation, and care of animals, as protection against contagion. Tuberculosis is one of the worst scourges among animals ans. it thrives best in damp, dark. Ill-ventilated sta bles. It is less common among ani mals running at large. Light, dry, well-ventilated stables and dry, clean barnyards or paddocks are essential to the health of farm animals. One val uable point In combating contagious diseases, especially tuberculosis, Is to start the herd with animals that not only are free from disease, but are of Proper Cara Keeps Farm Animals Healthy. stok that is not predisposed to dis ase. Oicala tests of herds are made on request and through co-operatioo of the United States Department of Agri culture with livestock snltary om cts. Purchase of breedlnl stock fran these herds is a wie preeaution. Cre alo should be takea, to obtaein stock adapted to climattic and local ce1ditloms.

In eaw$ -tbb bs MAKE COMPOST HEAP FOR USE IN GARDEN Start By Laying Down Bed oi Fresh Stable Manure Organfc Rubbish, Decayed Vegetables, Dead Vines, Weeds and Other Truck May Be Used-Size Plot Necessarily Varies. (Prepared by the United States IDepart ment of Agruultu;er. Garden waste, decayed vegetabtltles. dead vines, weeds, and the organic rubbish that collects about the plaue during a busy summer may be c-leanted up and put to work again tihroughl the agency of a compost heap. Start the heap by laying down a bed of stable manure which has not been burned or heated. The size of the plot will vary with the amount of refuse to be used; for ordinary uses, if the bed is made 8 feet long by G feet wide and 2 feet deep it will serve the purpose. Over the manure spread a two-foot layer of refuse amn cover it with an other layer of manure. This last layer need he only a foot in thickness. Ito Don't Leave Manure in Piles Exposed to Weather Conditions Favorable to Loss By Washing-Use It to Make a Compost Heap. peat the layers until all the waste has been disposed of and then rover the whqle with a layer of earth. If it is desired to add to the heap from time to time the top layer may be opened and the new material emptied into the hole thus made. This is convenient for the suburban home where there is no animal to consume the kitchen waste. In the spring the heap Is well mixed with a fork and the compost is ready to be spread on the garden plot. The heating manure will effectively destroy any weed seed present and will also break down the structure of most of the materials that have been thrown upon the pile. The process may be continued Indefi nitely by simply adding enough manure to insure heating. Compost is especially valuable for use in hotbeds and coldframes. CLEANING UP INSECT PESTS Many of Hibernatinl Species May ae Deetreyed in Winter By Clean ing Up Obecure Corners. Much can be done now to reduce the possibility of insect plagues next summer if a little effort is directed to ward the destruction of insect sheltem areas. Around the grounds and gar dens, under hedges, beside ditches, and In fence corners are bunches of Insect sheltering weeds or grass. By the time cold weather approaches many kinds of insects In the adult or imma ture stages have taken full advantage of these wooks and hidden away there for the winter. The bureau of ento mology, United States DLepartment of Agrlculture, says that if these spots are cleaned ip and the refuse cut and burned. many of these hibernating In sects will be destroyed and the dasm age from such pests during the com Ing season will be materially lessened.

Boring Says He Is In Better General Health Than He Has Been in Years Since Taking Tan lac. "Since Tanlac has overcome my troubles I have gained twenty pounds in weight and am in better gene'ral health than for years past," was the straight-forward statement made a few days ago by H. W. Boring, a prominent and well-to-do farmer liv ing at Overland Park, Kans. "During the two years I suffered I tried everything I knew of to get re lief, but nothing seemed to reach my case until I tried Tanlac. My appe tite was poor and my digestion was: so had I c(ould hardly retain omy foodu. Nothing agreed with me; in fact I was almost a confirmed dys(pepltlc. My whole system seemed to be out of shape.

I seldom slept well at light and. fin:lly, be':amne so weak and run-down that I lost weight rapidly.
