Take the case of a woman who has recently been made assistant secre tary to the New York Trust company. Her special work will be to assist the clients of the company to prepare their personal budgets, and to advise mi nors in the charge of , the company now best to manage their allowances. There is a real opportunity for women who are capable of It to do very valu able and well-paid work In this line.

(Prepared tr the United States Depart ' ; ment of Agriculture.) v Every year.- the people of the United States lose over $200,000,000' directly (and no one Knows how much indi rectly) through: diseases of farm- ani mals. This Is a large toll when di vided on jG per capita basis, and when tt comes' jome' to the farm stock-raiser who finis a valuable animal dead In the barn, or Ah epidemic spreading in to his hefd the loss Is sometimes disas trous. The most regrettable feature of the- aje Is that probably three fourths ofhV loss could be. prevented. " Viy Causes of Disease. " There are five principal causes of disease and., death of farm animals contagious i diseases, sporadic disease, j parasitic? troubles, accidents and neg lect; Contagious diseases . can be avoided, at least their consequences greatly diminished, if farmers will learn to cb-operate with the United States Department of Agriculture and the various state livestock and sani tary authorities, nho are striving to maintain j animal health. Farmers should report promptly to the nearest officials anr suspicion of the presence of contagious disease,., and they should observe carefully all regulations In re gard to quarantine, sanitation, and care of. animals,, as protection against contagion, ; : ;v" V - ' v.

Light, dry, well-ventilated stables and dry, clean barnyards or paddocks are essential to the healthof farm animals. One val uable polntf In combating contagious diseases,, especially tuberculosis, is to start the .herd with animals that not only are frge' from disease, but are of mmm sir if' V:sss: Proper Care Keeps Farm Healthy: Animals stock that is, not predisposed to dis ease. Official tests of herds are made on request j and through co-operation of the. Unite States Department of Agri culture wjttk livestock sanitary offi cials. Purchase .of breeding stock fronj these' Ijerds is a wise precaution. Care also jsuuld be taken to obtain stock adapted to climatic and local conditions The other sources of ani mal loss 'are largely a matter of In telligent ani careful handling. - Sporadic and incidental diseases, such as diiofders of the digestive and respiratory! - tracts, ..can be ' avoided largely by proper handling and feed ing. A proper balancing of rations has a material Influence on the health of live stock. I poo much of any food ele ment is likely to result in digestive disorders, thus predisposing .the ani mal to disease: ' ' Parasitic? diseases also carry ' off large numbra of valuable animals, every year They are largely the re sult of Improper housing and neglect.

May De Used Slxe Plot Necessarily Varies. . (Prepared by the United States -Depart- . . meat of Agriculture.) -Garden . waste, decayed vegetables, dead vines, weeds, and the organic rubbish ; that collects ' about the place during a busy summer may be cleaned up and put to work again through the agency of a compost heap. Start the heap by laying down a bed of stable manure -which ha- not been burned or heated. The size of - the plot wil vary with the amount of refuse to be used; for-ordinary uses, If the bed is made 8 feet long by 6 feet wide and 2 fet deep it will serve the purpose. Over the manure . spread a two-foot layer of refuse and coyer it with an other layer of manure. This last layer ned he only a. foot .in thickness. Be-, Don't' Leave Manure In Piles Exposed to Weather Conditions Favorable, to Loss By WashingUse It to Make a Compost Heap. peat the layers until all the waste has been disposed of and then cover the whole with a layer of earth. . If it is desired to add to the heap from time to time the top layer may be opened and the new material emptied into the hole thus made. This is convenient for the suburban home vhere there is no animal to consume the kitchen waste. In the spring the heap, is well mixed with a fork and the compost is ready to he spread on the garden plot. The heating manure will effectively destroy any weed seed present and will also break down; the structure of most of the materials that have been. thrown upon the pile. The process may be continued indefi nitely by simply u adding enough manure to insure heating. Compost is especially valuable for use in hotbeds and coldf rames. , CLEANING I UP INSECT PESTS Many of Hibernating Species May Bar Destroyed in Winter By Clean ing Up Obscure Comers. Much can be done now to reduce the possibility of insect .plagues next summer if a little effort is directed to ward the, destruction of insect shelter areas. Around the. grounds and gar dens, under hedges, beside ditches, and ' In fence corners are bunches of Insect sheltering . weeds , or grass.s By the time cold weather approaches many kinds of insects in the adult or imma ture stages have taken lull advantage of these nooks and hidden a Way there for the winter. ' The : bureau of ehtor' mology, United States Department of Agriculture, says that ,if these spots are cleaned up and the refuse cut aud burned, many of these hibernating in sects will be destroyed and the dam age from such pests during the com ing season will be materially lessened. PROVIDE BATH FOR POULTRY Chickens Cleanse Themselves by WaL ' lowing In Soil and ; Dust Box Should Be Accessible, i Chickens never wash, as many other birds do, but cleanse themselves by wallowing in soil. Where board - cr cement floors are used in the chicken house, some means for dusting should be provided during the winter months, say. poultry specialists of the United. States, Department of Agriculture, For a flock of 50 to 60 'fowls a dust box 3 by C feet or 4 by 4 feet will generally be found large enough, and should be placed where It can be reached by sun light during as much - of the day as possible. ' ;vta: , "ry Flne, light; dry dust Is the best kind with wlilch to fill the box, but 'sandy loam Is good. ' Road dust Is recom mended by, many, , but it Is 'apt to be filthy,' . Coal, or wood ashes may' be mixed with the soli If desired. FARM FOR CENSUS PURPOSES Is All Land Which , Is Farmed by One . .- person, timer by His.
