According to John A. Arey, extension dairy specialist at 1 State college, this is a parasitic skin disease which appears in I ring-like spots on the calf's neck, head, shoulders and rump. The hair comes out and a gray scaly crust is formed over the bare surface. These scales should be removed by the use | of a stiff brush, soap and water, * after1 which the spott should be painted with tincture of iodine. The stalls where the calves are kept should be thoroughly cleaned and . whitewashed to prevent further spread of the disease. 1 Q. How can I disinfect a dirt floor in a poultry house? A. Dirt floors, regardless of the care given them, are a dis tinct menance to the welfare of the poultry industry. No prac tical program can be offered ! which will offer a reasonable degree of assurance that sani tation can be maintained in houses with such floors. If con ditions actually necessitate houses with dirty floors, these should be scraped once each month and from four to six inches of dirt removed and this replaced with sand or soil from an unpolluted source. The ma terial removed should be taken to some place where chickens do not range and from which surface washing does not occur on land ranged by chickens or on land to be used for range by chickens.

State College Hint* To Farm Homemakers .(By Verna Stanton) Assistant State Agent When buying clothes or fab rics to make them, it often pays to be weather-wise, say textile specialists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Here are seme suggestions from the scientists lor labrics to suit dif ferent kinds of weather and why. For protection against cold, good Insurance is a combination of thickness and ' fuziness in clothing fabrics. Thick fabrics, especially those of wool, hold in body heat better than thin jna terials. A fuzzy or course-tex tured surface on the fabrics lecls warmer than a smooth cloth of the same thickness be cause it makes less contact ?jith the skin and endloses a layer of air warmed by the body. | For clothing to be worn in hot surroundings, fabrics that pre thin and flat are most com lortable. Sheer cottons and lin ens. are most satisfactory for hot climates ' because they ab sorb prespiration readily and dry quickly. For wind protection the con struction of the fabrics is im portant. A closely woven fab- I rics slows up the llow of air, 1 whereas a loosely constructed materials lets air pass through freely. On a cold day a per son actually may feel warmer in a closely woven cotton coat or jacket than in a heavy, knitted wool sweater.
