One of the hundreds of quota-
tions 1 think I knit[ --until I try
to put it down on paper—is the one
that somebody will probably set
to music, nee day, and title it
THE PARIS-ITE'S SONG.

I'In not going to look the quota-
tion up; but from 'nentory, it runs
something like this, "Great fleas
have smaller fleas upon their backs
to bite 'end; and smaller fleas have
lesser fleas, and so proceed ad
infinitum,"
* * ,
Which should be enough to in-
troduce some observations from Dr,
Charles W. Brown, of the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry,
He says that pearly every farm has
had some experience of animal para.,
sites. Sotne have had hog troubles,
or an animal hit with Bang's Dis-
ease. Or maybe—and I know this
will bit right hone with ,any of
my. readers .-- cattle that have
reacted to the T.B. test.
* 4
And here is what Dr. Brown has
to say about some of the more
common disinfectants, and the way
they should be used:
* * *
Preparation of Buildings: Before
you use any disinfectant the build-
ing should be thoroughly "dry-
cleaned." Remove all litter and
manure. Spread it on fields where
livestock will not come in imme-
diate contact with it.
"In case of wood or concrete
floors, it Will pay to clean them
religiously," Brown .explains, "Dirt
forms a protective layer around
the bacteria, protecting them from
the disinfectant."*
Application: Sornc kind of a
pressure sprayer is probably the
most satisfactory way to treat a
building.
Physleal Agents: Perhaps there
is no better soil disinfectant than
treat. Von ran use a burner or
flame thrower on open lots. They
are dangerous in buildings. The
prompt burning or burying of dead
animals, dead chickens and aborted
fetuses can not be ,stressed too
much.
Sooting is best only if you com•
-
pletely burn the entire carcass.
Othernise. burying deeply and
• covering +A411 ltuicklinme is good
protteei0!:
Sunlight: Sunlight is a wonderful
dlsitifeetant. It's not only one of
the best. it's free, The disinfection
proper:ie. of sunlight are greatly
reduce,I alter it comes through or-
dinary glass.
Formaldehyde Solution (Forma -
int): A 4 per cent solution of for-
maldehyde in •water is considered
a reliable disinfectant. This is
,made t; adding One part of for-
ma'.dt::y::e solution to nine parts
of water. It has deep penetrating
powers and a penetrating odor.
The gas were irritating to the
fwd? and nose.
Carbolic Acid (Phenol): Both
tario:i ..cid and phenol are ex-
tremely poisonous and must be
ha..,. ? '.r: extreme care. Car-

down to her tonsils as she opens Wide to let trainer Frank Noe'
check her gum after extraction -of a five -pound tooth. With help
of 4,000,000 units of penicillin, the gum is healing nicer',
Saponated Solution of Cresol:
This is a soap solution of cresol
you can get at most drug stores.
It must be used in soft water. In
a 2 or 3 per cent solution, it is
effective against bog cholera virus.
It also is valuable in disinfecting
the premises following the finding
of a tubercular animal.
Four ounces 0I an approved cre-
sol solution to a gallon of water is
recotnntended for use in buildings.
This should be handled with care,
though it is not as poisonous as
carbolic acid. It should not be tiled
in dairy barns.
Is
Lime: Quicklime is easy' to ap-
ply, and can he scattered around
barns lots, where it will destroy
most common disease agents with
which it comes in contact.
Usually the lime is applied by
slaking with water, then diluting
the slaked lime four to one .with
water.
One pint of water to two pounds
of quicklime is usually the correct
proportion for slaking. Lime solu-
tion is also irritating to the skin
and eyes. Lime will not destroy
anthrax spores, tetanus organisms
nor the tubercle bacillus.
Lime solution is often added to
other disinfectants because it shows
any areas that are missed.
* *
Lye: Lye is a very effective dis-
infectant around dairy barns and
hog houses. A 2 per cent solution
is useful against Bang's disease
infection. A pound of lye with five
and one-half gallons of water is
the usual mixture.
If the water is hot, tate mixture
is more effective. Lye is not ef-
fective in destroying tuberculosis
germs. Extreme care should be
used in handling concentrated ly e.
Chlorine: Chlorine disinfectants
are not practical for use on barns
and in lots since 'any organic mat-
ter destroys their usefulness.
Hypochlorites: This is the Baine
applied to chlorine disinfectants
sold under a variety of trade names
for use on dairy equipment. You
wouldn't use them on a nag house,
but on your separator or milking
machine. The strength of solution
and directions for use arc usually
printed on the Ltbe1, and should be
followed, y
•
S o di um Orthophenylphenate
This is very valuable in destroying
germs of tuberculosis. It has an
advantage over cresol in that it is
odorless—it can be n.c'.1 in dairy
barns.
It should be t:>t.i a 1 ptr cent
solution by dissolving in 'rot water.
Iodine: This applies to animals
—not to humans. Iodine for iive-
stock is sometimes useful as
skin disinfectant. Tincture ' i iodine
is a ce!n . preparation, No bar -
dap, sn ..., 'or applied oft,. tree.

A prominent California educator
—college president or some such—
has conte out with a suggestion
which is at least interesting. He
urges that school children, when
studying mathematics, should be
taught practical things, s uclt as the
gambling odds on ]corse -racing,
draw poker. slot machines, radio
give-away programs, sweepstake
tickets and so on. This educator
thinks that if the kids grew up
knowing hon' .little chance they had
Of winning. they wouldn't gamble
at all,
Will, rite y be he could be right.
But somehow or other we are just
a ;only mite doubtful.
* s *
Now this idea about the advis-
ability of such education for the
young. is by no means new. Years
ago they used to tell about an
insurance agent who had similar
notions, and who constantly de-
plored the ignorance of the rising
generation about such matters, One
day a young fellow came wanting a
Life Insurance policy, so the agent
started to question him, his life and
habits. "Tell rte." asked the agent,
"in a six -handed table stakes poker
game. what would you say a pair
of jacks would be worth, before
the draw:"
"Six handed? Table stakes:" re -
tined the applicant. "Why, a pair of
jacks wouid be worth every chip
you had!"
Big Bookie— Frank !::rick -on

Jury-, probing organized gamb-
ling, returned a 60 -count gamb-
ling and conspiracy information
against the bookmaking figure.
Ile faces a maximum- of one
year in. pr:'t'n and $ Ot1 fine. on
count.
"Son," sald the insurance ,tan
solemnly, "go on home, and don't
.nine back. I don't want your bttsi
neas, because you're a bad risk,. In
fact I'm surprised that you've even
lived as long as you have."
* * *
But that is all by the way. Before
we got off on that detour we were
expressing doubt as to whether edu-
cation of the sort proposed by the
Californiatt would eradicate the
gambling urge, no matter at what
age you tried to apply it, As an
illustration, let us,—as a partially -
reformed horse -player, give an il-
lustration from real life,
* * *
Away back when we and the
world were considerably younger
we had . a friend who—although he
had a pretty fair position—was con-
stantly broke because of his burning
passion for having a beton a horse
in every race that was carded. We
had given hint the old stuff about
"You can beat a race, but you can't
beat the races," and all the rest of
it, but it made no difference. Finally
we thought that maybe a ,mathe-
matical demonstration would help.
* * *
"Listen, Mac," we said to him,
"Get yourself a pencil and a piece
of paper- Now, you know that the
'bite' at a race track is around 20
per cent, Every time you put a
dollar in those mantel machines,
only eighty cents of it comes out,"
* tk *
"I know that as well as you do,"
he answered, "So get on with what
you: have to say, if anything. be-
cause I'm in a hurry,"
* * *
"Well, let's suppose, just as an
example," we continued, "that on
a certain day there are just a thous-
and guys at a certain track, and
that each of therm has just a hun-
dred in his kick. So they ,take an
agreement that they will bet all
they have on every race. Naturally,
some of them are wiped out in the
very first race. But out of that
hundred thousand dollars, with a
20 per cent bite, how much comes
back after that first heat:"
* * „
"I don't need any pencil and
paper for that," answered my
friend Mac. "It would be eighty
thousand or thereabouts."
"So that eighty grand goes back
on the second race," we said. "What
is the comeback v:lten it is fin-
ishetU"
* * *
"Sixty-four thousand," replied
Mac after a moment's mental figur-
ing.
"So there's sixty-four thousand bet
on the third," we persisted. "Fifty-
one thousand comes out," was
Mac's answer, "only I wish you'd
hurry up and let me get going."
* * ,
But we weren't to be derailed,
taking imim right down through an
afternoon's racing and showing him
how, after seven races, that original
stake of one hundred thousand had
shrunk to just about one fifth of
that amount,
"So now you can see ;what suck-
ers all you horse players are," we
concluded triumphantly, "In addi-
non to all the other chances you
take, you're trying to buck a racket
that will automatically shrink a
hundred grand into a little over
twenty thousand in just set en
races,"
"I thank you kindly, pal, for the
lesson and the sermon." said Mac.
"But I've got to get going. I know
that you haven't any money, so I've
got to hustle around and try and
dig up a few bucks. Honest jean.
Calder has a real good thing in
the sixth at Thornciiffe—cne that
might pay eight to 00 or better—
and I'd hate to be looking. cut the
window when it conies down, So

"Just a minute Mac." to replied.
