Need of Ventilation, Light and Clean-
liness to Avoid Tuberculosis and
Other Diseases—Use Whitewash,
Whether Sprayed or Brush -
handled, and Brighten Interior.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
THE observance of the laws of
health, so vital to the well-
being of man, is regarded
even In this enlightened
age, with considerable indifference
in the treatment of animals upon
whose good health that of man him-
self depends to a considerable de -
"gree, That animals are not more
affected by disease, of some form or
another, to a greater extent, is purely
providential, for the sanitary condi-
tions under which they are often
reared is of the worst. Why this
apathy concerning the state of the
stables, In 'which frequently valuable
animals are housed, is difficult to un-
derstand, since cattle, any more than
man, cannot maintain their health
and vigor for long in such unfavor-
able conditions; yet the stockmen
litho keeps cattle for profit must
know that to gaia maximum returns
for his investments and trouble, and
to guard against loss from disease
and death reasonable care and com-
fort and sanitary conditions are
aseessary.
The first considerations to this end
are ventilation, light and eleanliaess.
These essential elements of sanita-
tion should be attended to at least
once every year, 'This MAY be most
conveniently done dueing the early
fall before the 'cattle are housed for
the winter. Effective ventilation is
required to carry away the foul air
and maintain constant and adequate
supply of fresh air. The window
space should be ample so that every
,, a rner of the interior may be flooded
with light and sunshine, the source
of health and destroyer of germs.
Dirt and filth make productive breed-
ing places for insects and bacteria.
Cleanliness gets rid of conditions
which produce them and prevents the
possibility of infection and contagion,
reducing possible loss from disease
to a minimum. That much -dreaded
disease, tuberculosis, is in a measure
the product of dark, dirty, Ill -venti-
lated stables. It is caused by organ-
ism or germs gaining entrance into
the animal's system with the food.
It is not easy to detect, and usually
when symptoms become evident it is
too late to apply any remedy, hence
the necessity of making every effort
to secure and maintain sanitary con-
ditions in the stable. Every fall,
then, the stable should be systemati-
cally cleaned; cobwebs swept from
wall and ceilings; accumulated dirt
and debris cleared from manger,
trough, window -sills and all recesses
in walls; the fresh alr intakes and
foul air outlets put in order; fill all
cracks and holes in floor and walls
with cement; replace all broken Mese
in windows and clean them; disinfect
the whole stable thoroughly with
some good disinfectant, such as chlor-
ide of lime, crude carbolic acid, or
zenoleum, which can be easily applied
with a scrap pump or a watering can
with a fine nozzle. Give particular
attention to pens or stalls which have
been occupied by stock suffering from
contagious disease or have been used
by animals during parturition.
Then prepare your whitewash and
don't 'postpone it because you do not
possess a barrel spraying outfit. The
whitewash brush is an effective and
efficient tool—use it. Small brushes
are best and may take you a little
longer time to do. There are many
good whitewash recipes. President
Grant used the following to white-
wash the White House in Washing-
ton: Take a bushel of unslaked lime,
slake with warm water, cover it dur-
ing the process to retain the steam,
strain the liquid through a fine sieve
or strainer; add a peck of salt, the
same previously well dissolved in
warm water, add three pounds of
ground rice boiled to a thin paste
and stir in boiling hot, add one-half
pound of glue which has been pre-
viously dissolved over a slow fire and
add five gallons of hot water to the
mixture; stir well and let it stand
for a few days, covering it up to keep
out dirt. It should be put on hot,
One pint of the mixture, properly ap-
plied will cover a square yard. There
is nothing can compare with it for
outside or inside work and it retains
its brilliancy for many years. Dis-
infectant may be added or coloring
matter may be put in and made to
any hue desired.—Prof. J. Evans,
0. A. College, Guelph.
Live Stock Scarce In Europe.
France has 2,366,000 fewer cattle
than in 1914; Italy, 996,000; Den-
tnark, 345,000; Sweden, 599,000;
Germany, 2,200,000; and Austria-
Hungary, considerable. These figures
alone show a decrease of 6,306,000
head of cattle and many countries
which have suffered are not named.
The sheep, decrease in France,
Italy, Denmark, and Holland alone
is over two and one-half k millions,
and in pigs there has been, a whole-
sale decrease to the number of 24,-
952,000 in France, Italy, Denmark,
Sweden, Holland and Germany. Den-
mark, Canada's strongest competitor
on the British bacon market is
1,873,000 short of a normal supply
of pigs,. Germany is 19,396,000 short
of her 1914 hog population.
These figures should prove inter-
esting, to the Ontario live stock
breeder. Reserves Of food material
in the world are very low. Stoek
with' ' which to 'increase these re-
serves is not up to horfizat mint-
arically. Indications are that a goon
aemand must continue for the fin-
ished product of the farm. . • .
MARKETING OLD HENS
Egg Production Falls Off After
Month of May.
•b•••••••••11.441,•••••
Small Cold Storage Plant Both 'Prac-
tical and Profitable on Each Pro-
gressive Farm —It Adds to the
Cotufort of the Family and
Increases the Profits-- Essential
Factors of Construction
Explained.
(contributed by Ontario. Department or
Agriculture. Toronto.)
N almost every Oink there is a
percentage of hens who are poor
layers. Thee hens lay so few
eggs that they frequently do not
pay for the feed they eat and there-
fore reduce the profits of the better
layers. The market price is high for
old hens, and where the birds are
not good producers it is a good plan
to market thew. fairly early. There
are also in most flocks a number of
hens that were hatched in 1917 or
earlier, Our figures suggest that
=St hens tall baelt about tsenty
eggs annually in their production.
It is true that Most of this occurs
during the winter months„ but one
Must also consider that the number
of eggs falls oft considerably after
the Month Of May and, more0Ver, it
is not uncommon for July and Aug-
ust to be poor egg -producing months,
• The price of old hens usually Is
at As lowest point during the fall of
the year, so that in many cases it
pays best to sell the old birds not
wanted for next year fairly soon, as
the decline in price frequently is
more than the profit made upon the
eggs laid from June to Oetteher.
In a word the hen that has bright
yellow legs and beak at this season
is a poor producer, as is also usually
the bird that has a. large =fount of
internal fat or is very full and hard
in the space between the end of the
breast bone and the tail.
A good laying hen is active. If
of the yellow -legged breeds her feet
are usuall' faded, as is also the bill.
Her toe -nails are shorter than her
•poorer laying mates, She appears
as if she had worked harder, that Is
she is not so sleek and fat. Her skin
Is usually thin and soft. She is busy
and not a loafer.
The non -laying hen has a sniall dry
vent whereas the laying hen has a
largo moist vent.
Small Cold Storage for Every Mum.
Cold storage practice so far has
been connected with the large pro-
duce warehouses in our towns and
cities. These establishments could
not do successful business if their
plants were not provided with large
storage chambers kept cool and in
other particulars suitable for the
long storage of perishable products
of the farm, such as eggs, butter,
meat, cheese, fruit, and so forth.
Some day, probably not so far dis-
tant after all, the farmers may be-
come sufficiently well organized to
build and equip mechanical cold stor-
age warehouses of their own, where-
by they will be able to have com-
plete control over the products of
their own labor until they are dis-
posed of to the consuming public.
Personally, I believe the problem of
cold storage on the farms should be
handled through co-operatively own-
ed warehouses provided -with ade-
quate cold storage facilitica.
Apart, however, from the question
of a cold storage with up-to-date
mechanical equipment for the farm
or farmers' association as suggested
above, there is the 'problem on al-
most every farm pertaining to the
storage for a few days of small quan-
tities of various foods used on the
table from day to day, such as but-
ter, niea,t, milk, etc. It is certainly
a great saving and matter of con-
venience to have on the farm a small
cold storage chamber or refrigerator
in which to keep these very perish-
able articles of food in a good fresh
and wholesome condition for use on
the table during the warm season
of the year. This is made possible
by the use of ice, and as it is procur-
able in almost every district of this
country at a reasonable cost, there
is no excuse for farmers not laying
by in the winter season a few tons
in some cheap form of icehouse.. In
the summer time -this ice will be
found most useful for • cooling the
milk and cream, supplying an ice -box
or refrigerator in which the butter,
for example, may be kept firm, the
milk and cream sweet, and the foods
in good condition for the table day
by day. With ice always so handy
and the best of cream available, it
is possible for the house -wife to make
such delicious and wholesorae deli-
cacies as ice-cream, sherbets, and
many delightful and cool drinks, all
of which are most refreshing and
stimulating to the folks on the farm
in the hot and busy season of the
year. In case of sicknes,s, too, ice is
sometimes a necessity. There is no
doubt then about the fact that every
farmer would find a supply of good
ice a great advantage in many ways,
whether it be storell.from which it is remov s. required
‘ some bin
or in Some form of small iee-cold
storage where it cools automatically
a small refrigerator room adjoining
the ice storage room. There are sev-
eral types of small ice-cold storages
suitable for use on the farm. In
using these small ice-cold storages.
however, it must be kept in mind al-
ways that the temperature cannot be
maintained lower than "about 40 or
45 degrees Fahrenheit scale, which.
of course is not low enough to keep
perishable products like fresh meat
longer than a few days, and 'large
quantities of perishable articles must
not be stored In aesmall chamber, nor
too many kinds at one time." In a sub-
segue/it article 1 will deal. with a few
of the most common and practi&ble
forms of small ice-cold storages for
the farm. -11. R. Graham, B.S.A.,

SUNLIGHT IN THE NIGHT
HOURS
EFFICIENT factory lighting is of greater
importance now than ever before.
The high price of material and the pay of factory
workers are such that spoilage and wasted effort
must be reduced to a minimum.
Every factory manager knows that daylight is
the best light to work by. But there are working
hours in the day when artificial light is necessary,
even in the most modern plant. An artificial
light approximating daylight simplifies the pro-
blem of maintaining a high standard of produc-
tion.
HYDRO Gas Filled Lamps flood your factory
with an easy -to -work -by light. Furthermore,
they are economical. HYDRO Gas Filled
Lamps have greater brilliancy and long life.
The Hydro -Electric Power Commission of
Ontario recommends HYDRO Gas Filled Lamps
for factory lighting.
We will gladly demonstrate their great brilliancy
and low current consumption at the Hydro Shop.
