THE MOVEMENT GROWING.

Many of the very foremost men of
the country have declared in favor
of National aid to good roads and
the feeling is constantly growing that
it should prevail OF course, here
and there we find it opposed by spe-
cious argument and strained inter-
pretations of the constitution, but
this opposition cannot stand in the
face of the practice of the govern
ment in road building many years ago,
and at this day in Porto Rico, where
we have constructed more highways
in the past five years than did the
Spaniards in four hundred years; and
in the Philippines, where we are
building highways every day in the
year. There is more serious consid-
Grafton being given to the subject Of
good roads today than any other that
can be named, and as question
fraught with vital concern to the in
ternal commerce Of the country and
to its religious, educational and social
advancement, it is sure thing that
the call for national aid will have
to be heard.
1t is not the farmer alone who is
affected by bad roads: trade condi-
tons are disastrously affected wher-
ever bad roads exist Good roads are
necessary to every vocation and every
interest. The cost of bad roads has
been so often presented that repeti-
ton would not strengthen argument.
The main fact is the clear fact that
bad roads are curse to the nation
and a disgrace to our boosted Ameri-
canism There is necessity for gov
eminent aid to better roads and 1t
ought to be extended with the least
possible delay. In every civilized
country but ours, government has
fostered improved highways. Wher-
ever improved highways have been
built the people are happier and the
country more prosperous. In the
United States there has been marve-
lous progress Notwithstanding bad
roads. We would have progressed
thousand fold more under an improv.
ed system of highways. A change is
needed here. The common roads
should be made adequate to the nee
essities OF the country. There is no
special class in the discussion. 1t
is great economic question. rapping
loudly for recognition, and as all the
people are involved the government
shonld step in and cooperate with the
States in its solution.

The Salmon's WAYS.

/ have had ample opportunity of
watching salmon all my life, from the
time they enter fresh water till their
return to the sea-, and have given
close attention to the subject, and
have no hesitation in stating that dur
ing the salmon's sojourn in fresh
water it does not require to feed. 1t
does seem strange, of course, that q
fish coming up river in October in
prime condition remains there for
seventeen months, and returns to the
sea without having tasted food; new
ertheless, it is true. Many people do
not believe this, and no doubt there
will be considerable number Of that
opinion for many years to come

Two thorough sprayings should be
made on the first day. The next
day careful examination should be
made and if any mites can be found
alive the house should be treated
again. Although these solutions will
kill the adult mites, it is not likely
that they will reach the mite eggs
and prevent them from Matching.
The houses should, therefore, be
thoroughly sprayed twice again at
intervals of one week. This will
catch any mites that have Matched

X SIMPLIFYING CHICK FEEDING.
For sixteen or seventeen years l
have been feeding young chickens
with the same food as old hens, with
the exception that the chickens got
fine instead of coarse cracked corn
feed in the middle of the morning
and got mash the last thing at night,
writes the Editor of Farm Poultry.
This year, my boy, on his own &C.
count, still further simplified the
feeding. His chickens, about fifty,
have been fed just the same as the
old hens, except that they got the
mash the last thing in the evening
as well as the first thing in the morn.

There has not been pound of any

they are right in part.
Suppose you have fifty chicks with
four hens and feed them ordinary
coarse cracked corn. There are
some particles too large for the small.

these first, and the hens eat at first
more than half the corn anyway.
Now if you put the corn down to
fifty chickens without hens, the
coarser particles may be left. | don't

wires, as shown in the illustration.
Around the top of the drum is wound
a flexible cord. The eggs are placed
in the receptacle and the cord is
pulled to its full length, thus causing
the blades to revolve rapidly in the
mixture. The momentum thus gained
causes the cord to rewind about the
drum, and when it is again drawn out
the blades revolve in the opposite di-
rection and the cord winds up once
more. This double action continues
indefinitely, or as long as is necessary
to operate the beater to do the work.

NOTES.

Give the setting hen a thorough
busting with insect powder two or
three times during incubation. This
may save your little chicks from
lice and mites.
The demand for poultry is far
greater than the supply and increases
more rapidly than does the supply.
Raise the products and the market
is assured.
Why do farmers neglect their poul-
try when they have nothing else on
the farm that would pay better?
That is hard question to answer. 1t
must be because they do not think
and are careless and negligent.
The general farmer is the man to
raise turkeys successfully. He has
the range to furnish green truck and
grain-picking and grasshoppers.
which make a balanced ration. The
selling price is certainly high enough
to tempt the most avaricious.

UNDRAwN FOWL THE BETTER


DR.. Charles Harrington, of the
State Board of Health, has filed with
the legislature a report on the rela
tive merits of drawn and undrawr
poultry. The report is in compli-
ance with resolve passed by the
legislature last. year in which the
board was directed to make the in
vestigation and determine what un-
wholesome change, if any, takes place
in the flesh of poultry shipped or
stored without the removal of the
head, crop and other entrails, as com
pared with the flesh of poultry from
which these have been removed, and
thus settle the question which has
been brought up annually for many
years past by the advocates of one
or the other methods.
For the purpose of their investiga-
ton the board raised a quantity of
poultry and after keeping it for a
reasonable length of time killed it,
drawing one portion and leaving the
remaining portion undrawn, and pro.
ceeded with their experiments. The
report shows that when poultry is
kept in ordinary temperature the un.
drawn is preferable Boston Journal.

KILL THE CHICKEN MITE.

The common bloodthirsty chicken
mite is the worst pest the poultry
man has to contend with. 1t lives
and breeds in cracks, crevices and
corners Of the roosts. building, nests
and elsewhere in the poultry house.
Ii generally attacks the fowl upon
the r0ost or nest.
The best remedies for mites are
cleanliness, sunlight and spraying
with disinfecting solutions. The
poultry house and fittings should be
- built as to be easily cleaned. The
walls should be smooth and as free
from cracks as possible. Nests,
rnasts and dropping boards should
ho easily removable to allow spray
ing of their entire surface and the
walls beneath them.
There are several preparations for
che eradication of mites. among the
best of which is cresol soap.
Shave or chop one five-cent cake
q laundry soap into one pint of
saft water. Heat or allow to stand
untas q soap paste is formed. Stir
Ia one pound of commercial cresol
and heat or allow to stand until
soap paste is dissolved. Stir in one
gallon OF kerosene. For use dilute
with fifty parts of water. which will
make milky colored liquid.
Commercial cresol is a coal tar
by-product and may be obtained from
the druggist at about 80 cents a
pound. Care should be taken not to
Get any of 1t on the hands or face

Any Of the commonly advertised
coal tar stock dips may also be used
with satisfactory results. They may
Be diluted with fifty parts Of water.
Apply with q brush or with spray
ing machine. A good spraying mach

. brush. Great care must be taken
to III thoroughly every crevice in
the walls. perches and nests with the
liquid. These mixtures win kfll ev

contact. bat It Is impossible to get all

THE ROAD.

The road is like work of art-it
incites the imagination. In this con-
tend that it is an educator of no mean
worth. 1t promises a healthy interest
in the brain, and scraps of wisdom
may be found scattered along the way
for those who will, to pick up. There
are as many sorts OF roads as there
are many kinds of books, each sort
filling its place. The grand turnpike,
with its fine estates, speaking of
wealth: the country byways, limiting
modest contentment and ease; the
toll road with its gate and its way
side inn for travellers; the river road,
following the stream now giving
glimpses of the broad sweep and now
but sparkles of light through the fol-
liage as the trees obstruct the view.
There is the hilly road where one
loses the view of the highway ahead
as it dips down into the valley, only
to rise with narrowed gauge on a
further hill, and the wood road with
its continent paths and trails. One
of the strongest lures is the road built
at time when it was easier to go
around or over hill than through it;
better to find safe ford than to
plunge anywhere into the stream or
build bridge The highway which
goes straight from one point to an
other is scientist and not poet. 1t
may be a fine servant, but as friend
and companion give me the mean
dering road with it's constant sur
prises. its uphill and down-dale, its
sunshine and shadow One which may
be seen mile ahead may be a fine
speedway, but it is not capable OF
rousing the imagination.-Wa Walter X.

SELECTING THE STOCK.

The poultry-raiser who knows and
understands the individual points of
each hen in his flock is the one that
will obtain success. He can do much
to improve the capacity of his hens
by setting eggs from those that
prove to be the best layers. 1t is
better to purchase eggs from pro-
fessional breeder who deals honestly
when he offers selected eggs at a
higher price than to buy eggs of
purebred fowls from second-class
stock. If the breeder takes no care
in selecting his own stock 1t will

ARE or EGGS IN HOT wEATHEi'

: CAfl1 QF' EiGSa in HUI WEAI dEAt
The following are among the re
quisites mentioned by United States
agricultural bulletin to the placing
Of eggs on the market in proper
condition.:
4. Keeping hens that produce not
only a goodly number of eggs but
eggs Of moderately large size (weigh-
ing two ounces each on an average),
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds, Orphingtons, and Leg
horns or Minorcas that are used on
egg farms are varieties that may be
expected to do this.
2. Good housing, regular feeding
and watering, and, above all, clean.
dry nests.
3. Daily gathering of eggs, and,
when the temperature is above 80 de
grees, gathering twice day.
1. The confirming of all broody
hens as soon as discovered.
s. The rejection as doubtful of all
eggs found in a nest that was not
visited the previous day. Such eggs
should be used at home, where each
may be broken separately.
s. The placing of all summer eggs
as soon ais gathered, in the coolest
place available.
q The prevention at all times OF
moisture in any form coming in con-
tact with the eggshe1ls.
5. The disposal of young cocker
els before they begin to annoy the
hens. Also the selling or combining
of old male birds from the time that
Matching is over until cool weather in
fall.
8. The using of cracked and dirty
as well as small eggs at home. Such
eggs, IL consumed when fresh, are
perfectly wholesome, but when mar
keted are Disseminated against and
are likely to become an entire loss.
f0. The marketing of all eggs at
least once q week, and oftener when
convenience allows.
H. Keeping eggs as cool and dry
rs possible while on the way to town
and while in country stores.
AZ. Keeping eggs away from mus
" cellars or bad odors.
1s. The use of strong, clean cases
and good filters.
IA. The shipping of eggs to the
flnal market at least once a week
and as much oftener as possible.
An egg forty-eight hours old thar
has lain in wheat shock during a
warm August rain would. it is said,
probably be swarming with bacteria
and be absolutely unfit for food
while another egg stored eight
months in first-class cold storage
room would be of much better quail
ity. The flavor or odor of an egg
may be noticeably influenced by the
feed Of the hen. This has been de-
m0nstrated by feeding hens heavily
on onion tops or garlic. Eggs, by
storage In musty cellars or in rooms
with citrus fruits, vegetables, fish or
cheese, may become so badly flaw
ored as to be seriously objected to
~ 4 fancy trade, and yet there is
no means of detecting the trouble
without destroying the egg.
The general store. where the great
majority Of the eggs first leave the
farmers hands is, the bulletin says,
above all the weakest spot in the
industry, The merchant cannot can
die, for he has not time, facilities or
knowledge; and what is still more
significant, he does not want to can
die If he can help it, because the
farmers trade is worth more than
the loss on eggs, and as long as com
petition exists the first effect Of can
ding vii. be to disgruntle the farm
erH and lose their trade
