Iru FARM FRONT
One of the hundreds of quota-
tions I think I know—until I try
to put it down on paper—is the one
that somebody will probably set
to music, one day, and title it
THE PARIS-ITE'S SONG.
I'm not going to look the quota-
tion up; but from memory it runs
something like this, "Great fleas
have smaller fleas upon their backs
to bite 'em; 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 nearly every farm has
had some experience of animal para-
sites. Some have had hog troubles,
or all animal hit with Bang's Dis-
ease, Or maybe—and I know this
will hit right home with many of
my readers — cattle that have
reacted to the T.B, test.
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 conte in innme-
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 thein from
the disinfectant."
Application: Some kind of a
pressure sprayer is probably the
most satisfactory way to treat a
building.
Physical Agents: Perhaps there
is no better soil disinfectant than
heat. You can 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 -
Burning is best only if you com-
pletely burn the entire carcass.
Otherwise, burying deeply and
covering with quicklime is good
protection.
Sunlight: Sunlight is a wonderful
disinfectant. It's not only one of
the best, it's free. The disinfection
properties of • sunlight are greatly
reduced after it comes through or-
dinary glass:
Formaldehyde Solution (Forma-
lin): A 4 per cent solution of for-
maldehyde in water is considered
a reliable disinfectant. This is
made by adding one part of for-
maldehyde solution to nine parts
of water. It has deep penetrating
powers and a penetrating odor.
The gas is very irritating to the
eyes and nose.
:k :k
Carbolic Acid (Phenol): Both
carbolic acid and phenol are ex.
tremely poisonous and must be
handled with extreme care. Car-
bolic acid is one of the old-time
standby, farm disinfectants.
Both should be kept under lock
and key, so there is no possible
clanger of children coming in con-
tact with them.
Today, other disinfectants wHich
are not so dangerous to the user
are preferred. A person using even
weak solution's of carbolic acid must
take precaution to protect the skin,
However, a 5 per cent solution
of carbolic acid is satisfactory for
ordinary bacteria. It will not de-
stroy hog cholera virus or the
spores of anthrax and tetanus. It
roust not be used in dairy barns,
since milk absorbs the chemical,
takes on an odor and taste.

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 hog cholera virus.
It also is valuable in disinfecting
the premises following the finding
of a tubercular animal.
Four ounces of an approved cre-
sol solution to a gallon of water is
recommended for use in buildings.
This should be handled with, care,
though it is not as poisonous as
carbolic acid. It should not be used
in dairy barns.
Lime: Quicklime is easy to ap-
ply, and can be 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.
• :s � v�
Lye: Lye is a very effective dis-
infectant around dairy barns and
hag 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, the mixture
is more effective. Lye is not ef-
fective in destroying tuberculosis
germs. Extreme care should be
used in handling concentrated lye.
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 name
applied to chlorine disinfectants
sold under a variety of trade names
for use on dairy equipment. You
wouldn't use thein on a hog house,
but on your separator or milking
machine. The strength of solution
and directions for use are usually
printed on the label, and should be
followed.
S o d 1 u in Orthophenylphenate:
This is very valuable in destroying
germs of tuberculosis. It has an
advantage over cresol in that it is
odorless—it can be used in dairy .
barns.
It should be used as a I per cent
solution by dissolving in clot water.
+k :k
Iodine: This applies to animals
--not to humans. Iodine for live-
stock is sometimes useful as a
Skin disinfectant. Tincture of iodine
is a common preparation. No ban-
dage should be applied after its use.
Remember: Select a disinfectant
for a particular use; there Is no
general disinfectant that will serve
all purposes. And guard against
indiscriminate use of disinfectants.
Most hog diseases are easily car-
ded on the feet of humans. A
plan of disinfectant at the door of
the hog house or the feed -lot gate
may prevent a disease outbreak
in your hogs,
Clean ground is a preventive for
parasites ---not against virus 'dis-
eases like hog cholera.

A prominent California educator
—college president or sonic such—
has come out with a suggestion
which is at least interesting. He
urges that school children, when
studying mathematics, should be
taught practical things, such as the
gambling odds on horse -racing,
draw poker, slot machines, radio
give-away programs, sweepstake
tickets and so on. This educator
thinks that if the kids grew tip
knowing how little chance they had
of winning, they wouldn't gamble
at all.
k :A
Well, maybe lie could be right.
But somehow or other we are just
a tenny mite doubtful.
Now this idea about the advis7.
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 lite," asked the agent,
"in a six -Banded table stakes poker•
game, what would you say a pair
of jacks would be worth, before
the. draw?"
"Six handed? Table stakes?" re-
plied the applicant. "Why, a pair of
jacks would be worth every chip
you had!"
>< : W*1
".Son," said the insurance elan
solemnly, "go on bonne, and don't
collie back. I don't want your busi-
ness, because you're a bad risk, In
fact I'm surprised that you've even
lived as long as you have."
w
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
Californian would eradicate the
gambling urge, no platter 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 bet on a horse
in every race that was carded. We
had given him 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 nlathe-
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 mutuel machines,
only eighty cents of it comes out."
"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 them has just a hun-
dred in his kick. So they make 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 when it is fin-
ished?"
* :k
"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 conies 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 him right down through an
afternoon's racing and showing hint
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-
tion 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 seven
races."
+k ,k :k
"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 John
Calder has a real good thing in
the sixth at Thorncilffe—ane that
might pay eight to one or better
and I'd hate to be looking out the
window when it comes down. So

How To Get Rid
Of Your Farms
If you're tired of farming and
want to get rid of your land, try.
this recipe suggested by University
specialists:
"Cut one medium-sized farm into,
irregular pieces.
"Add several cash crops to re
move the humus.
"Stir the thin layer of top -soil
frequently until the soil particles
are ready to be carried off by the
next hard rain. Carefully work
,land up and clown the slope so the
furrows will form water -ways for
rapid disposal of excess water and
soil.
"When hardpan shows through
on hilltops and slopes, cut into
deep, irregular gullies and leave out
in the sun to bake.
"When done, season with an un-
painted house, broken-down fences,
some old worn-out machinery, a
rickety barn, a good sprinkling of
unpaid bills. Add a pinch of des-
pair and garnish with weeds.
