flltn in a laying house or pen har bours those parasites and diseases which prevent economical production the season for a thorough cleaning is usually at the lime when the older birds arc culled out

bouses of the poultry dlvlson of the experimental farm nappan states m h jenkins poultryman at the farm is as follows 1 remove all feeding nesting and yoosting equipment 2 brush celling and walls and re move the litter irom the iioor 3 hose the walls and floor to sorted any dirt that is stuck thereon 4 scrape all comers and crevices with a threecomered scraper 5 the walls and iioor are scrubbed with a scruobing brush or stubs of old brooms using a good coal tar disinfec tant in either warm or cold water one pint of the disinfectant to lour gallons of water is used at nappan 6 after the house has been thor oughly gone over with the disinfectant it is hosed again the solution removed and the house allowed to thoroughly dry and air out 7 alter the house is completed all the equipment is gone over wlui the game solution and in the same manner 8 after a thorough drjing out is af fected by sunshine and wind the equip ment is returned to lis place 9 the final stop is to put in clean treh

petitions new telcnrf alon tube can pierce fog hue a television transmitting tube that can pierce fog and haze to pick up scenes fortransmtsslon through the ether has been developed in the laboratories of the radio corpora tion of anwita the screen of the new tube picks up scenes by the heat waves given off by object in the scene tech nically these are known as infra red rays and unlike light waves they pierce fog and haze thus what is primarily projected on the screen is not a light image ot the scene but a heat or infrared im age instead of being photoelectric as the ordinary teleeye or icono scope of the television pickup cam eras the screen is thermoelectric that is electric potentials are gen erated in it when heaf waves strike it the thermoelectric sensitive screen is disclosed as being a fine film ot germanium a rare earth metal mounted on a thin sheet of mica when bie heat image is projected on it localized potential differences appear in the film as a result of tern perature differences in different ele mental areas of the heat image these correspond to lights and shod ows of the scene now when the imagannttie screen is scanned by apencil beam of electrons electri cal currents are released from the film corresponding with the lights and shadows of the scene these impulses are amplified and convert ed into a visible image correspond ing to that broadcast

threshing should be placed in pit to rot de clares j d macleod weed expert of ontario dept ot agriculture at this particular time of the year after threshing has been completed there is a tendency on the part of j many fanners to give little thought to lhe disposal of weed seeds says j d macleod weed expert or the ontario dept of agriculture toron to the main objective in the con trol of weeds is to prevent re in testa tion it is therefore of ital impor tance hat all refuse containing weed seeds be placed in tightly woven acks immediately after thrething and ed cleaning and disposed of in such manner as will destroy the germin ating power of all seeds it is a known fact that weed seeds ill pass through the digestive tract of live stock without the germinating power being destroyed therefore if the threshing machine does not re move small weed seeds and if they are not removed by the fanning mill before the grain is fed whole chop ped or rolled there is a possibility of the soil being reinfefited from this source this is true particularly in the case or the smaller weed seeds such as wild mustard worm seed mustard small seeded false flax pigweed lambs quarters bladder campion chicory white cockle plaintaln cinquefoil rlbgrass ox- eye daisy etc it is therefore impor tant that a maximum of weed seeds be removed from the grain before it is fed to live stock and that these seeds be disposed of immediately rotting of weed seeds has proven a satisfactroy method of disposal a pit may be dug in the ground the size depending on the quantity seeds to bt disposed of after weed seeds have been placed in this pit it should be coered with chicken wire or a screen to prevent birds from gaining entrance a heating and rot ting process will take place and after two to three months the votality of all seeds will hae been destroyed a home made incinerator may be constructed bj removing the top from an oil drum and providing a draught door and grate at the bottom waste poured on weed seeds and light bulky refuse among the seeds will per mit air to enter and will help the burning a large tile part of a smoke stack or an container which will stand lots of heat could be used some of the larger weed seeds such as wild buckwheat wild oats wild vetches etc have a certain amount of food vaue if these are being chop ped in grains the plates of the chop per should be in good condition and set very close choppers of the ham mer mill tvpe tilted with a 120 mesh screen nill make a more thorough yoo when chopping grains containing weed seeds mr macleod slates helpful advice
