w
E bear a preat deal about
bacteria, or germs, as the
re more popularly called,
but few Deollle know n-hnr
they really are. Although they are
so small that It would take several
thousand together to make a spot
larjre enough to be seen with the
naked eye. yet their Importance to
the farmer Is not measured by their
size.
Bacteria are tiny plants, each com
posed of a sliiTle tell. These cells
are of various shaiws and sizes. Some
are round, auuie long and some shaped
HKe n t-orkscrew,
Some are found
smyly "ad some In groups. Some

twisting themselves ahnnt nnt mill
others have long, tall-like fiagella by
m uageiia
which they move themselves along.
Bacteria are made ud of a pionr
Jellylike material called protoplasm.
This protoplasm Is surrounded by a
harder cell wall. There Is a great
difference In the thickness of these
cell walls, and on this thickness de
pends to a large extent the ability of
the germs to withstand unfavorable
conditions. Those with thin cell walls
can be killed easily, while the thicker

I Bacteria propagate themselves by
dividing. One cell divides Into tnrn
Each of these two grows to full size
and divides again, and so on. Under
favorable conditions this process maj
be repeated every half hour. At this
rate the descendants of one germ
would in ten hours number more than
a million.
At times the part of the protoplasm
of a germ will gather lffto a round,
comparatively hard mass, cnlled a
spore. The rest of the cell then crum
bles away. This spore is Inactive, but
possesses much greater powers of re
sistance than when in the active state.
These spores often remain alive to
start the infection afresh after the
active bacteria have all been killed by
disinfection.
Bacteria, like higher plants, have
definite requirements for growth. One
of the most Important of these is mois
ture. Drying will not kill bacteria, but
It will stop their multiplication. An
other essential to bacterial growth is
warmth. Cold, like dryness, will not
kill them, but It will stop them from
multiplying. This Is the reason that
the souring of milk or the spoiling of
meat, which Is caused by bacteria,
goes on much more slowly or not at
all when thoy are kept In a cold place.
One of the principal foods of bacte
ria Is nitrogen. Without it they can
not live. Because of this fact sugar
nnd lard, which contain no nitrogen,
never spoil. Bacteria also require oxy
gen, though only certain species are
dependent on the nlr for their supply.
One of these Is the kind that causes
meat and vegetables to decay
uirai mm vKeiames 10 aeeay. rnls is
why canned fruit and vegetables do
not spoil. The bact?rta have been
killed and the oxygen driven off by

Not all bacteria are injurious. Al
though some of man's most deadly en
emies are fouud among these Invisible
micro-organisms, yet many of them
are bis best friends. We have already

which It can be used by plants. The
rotting of mnnure and trash to make
humus and of humus to make the ele-
mentsor plant food available Is also
due to the action of bacteria. In this
way bacteria, by making animal
wastes available for plant food, com
plete the circle of plant and animal
life.
The putrefying bacteria, or those
which cause rotting, are more benefi
cial than harmful. By their action
dead animals and other refuse matter
are quickly reduced to the elements
: from which they were ude. Even the
: odor given off during the process is
also beneficial as a reminder that the
I matter of burying or burning has been
j neglected.

In trying to escape fills the dough with
holes and spaces, making It "rise."
The bacteria which cause milk and
cream to sour are also useful. Butter
made from sweet cream Is lacking In

damp for u long time after it has been

for bacteria to grow. The "dish rag

detected In butter.

which Is so necessary to the growth of 1
the higher plants, Is fatal to bacteria. !
The stable where the milking Is i
done should be cleaned nnd aired j
every day. A coat of whitewash j
should be applied occasionally, as in
addition to being a good germ killer it i
also makes the stnble much lighter. !
Ilay should not be fed Immediately
before milking, ns the dust from It Is
covered with bacteria. The udders
and flunks of the cows should be kept
perfectly clean. A little dirt falling
from them into the milk will take
with It thousands of germs. The milk
should not be left in the barn after It
Is drawn, but taken immediately to
the milk room.
Many creameries and dry milk deal
ers practice pasteurization. This sim
ply consists in heating the milk to as
high a temperature as nosslhip wifh.
out scalding it. This kills most of the
germs, and the few that ore left will
not develop rapidly enough to do
much harm. In creameries n starter
that is. a portion of milk which con-
tains a particular kind of bacteria Is
added after pasteurization nnd the
cream then "ripened" for twelve hours
or so. By thus supplying germs wh. i
are known to produce desirable fla
vors and killing the others butter of
very high quality mny be made.
There are bacteria everywhere in
the soli, In the air and In the water.
By far the greater number of these
are harmless. Even disease germs

invaders. It is only when an animal
becomes weakened from one cause or
another that these corpuscles fall to
do their duty and the germs begin their
destructive work.
The first step In avoiding infection
by disease producing bacteria, then,
Is to keep the animals healthy by
proper feed, exercise and shelter. The
next point Is to do everything possi
ble to prevent the germs from getting
Into the animal's body.
In case a contagious disease of any
sort appears the sick animals should
be shut up by themselves as far as
possible from the rest of the herd
Disinfectants, such as coal tar dips
and bichloride of mercury (one part
of the chemical, two parts salt and
1,000 parts water), should be used
freely. Care should be taken not to
carry the germs from the sick ani
mals to the well ones while caring for
them.
Wounds, such as wire cuts, need es
pecial care to prevent Infection. Or
dinary disinfectants are too irritating
yet something must be done to keep
the bacteria from attacking the raw j
surfaces. Keeping the wound bound !
up tightly and enrlnk-iw rinn ;
powdered iodoform is one of the best
ways of Insuring rapid healing.
