WORK or SANITATION
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH HAS
CLEANED UP IN CAMPAIGN.
Reports From Representatives and In
spectors Show That New Slaughter
Houses Have Been Built and
Hotels Have Improved.

The representatives of the state board
of health are active in the various Sec
tions of the state in closing out the work
for the year. The results which have
been obtained by the chief sanitary in
spector, DR.. w. H. Rowan, are most graf
flying As a result of the inspection of
the various towns and cities of the state
of five hundred inhabitants and over,
there has been marked interest and ac-
tivity shown in the general sanitation,
and there has been decided improvement
in the meat markets, slaughter houses,
restaurants, hotels and many other places
of public utility. DR.. feathers, in visit
ing some of the cities after inspection
has been made, finds much Improvement
to commend the work. For example,
during the past weeks at Sardis, Miss,
he was informed by the city health of
ficer, DR.. Wright, that since the inspec-
tion three weeks ago, new slaughter
house has been built and properly
screened, the wagon for delivering the
beef to the city IS also screened and
kept clean, restaurants and meat mar
kets are in better condition, and alto
gether there is general improvement.
The hotel inspection work will be care
fully analysed during the next two
weeks, and it is the purpose of the state
board to publish statement of the A
and group of hotels about the first OF
the year. The other hotels will be in
,pected again during the coming year,
and also those of the A and B group,
and in every way sanitary conditions will
be advised and enforced.

Eco Material.

The laying mash has become gen.
orally recognized as the most conve-
nient as well as economical method
of providing hen with egg material
The following is good formula:
Coarse wheat bran, coarse middlings,
ground corn and oats, alfalfa meal,
meat scraps, each 100 pounds, linseed
meal forty pounds, fine table salt ten
pounds. This $50 pounds Of feed, cost
ing around SO, should be enough to
last a flock of 100 hens one month
and should produce during that time,
at December and January prices, from
$50 to $50 worth Of eggs There is
not another animal on the ranch that
will show this profit from the same
amount of feed given in addition to
the regular rations.

PROFIT IN GEESE AND BUCKS
Fowls Are Important Adjunct TO Farm
and Farmers Living Near Water
Should Raise Them.

Those living close to water SHOULD
raise geese and ducks. They Will get
a large part Of their food from the
streams and swamp lands, requiring
very little grain during the summer
months
Toulouse geese are hardy. early
layers and prolific, often raising two
broods of goslings year. The young
early take care OF themselves on good
pasture and grow rapidly. They should
have oatmeal made into mash daily.
and afterward few oats or barley
scattered over the grass late in the
evening. BY careful feeding they grow
very fast and by Christmas have been
known to weigh 20 pounds each. Emb-
den geese grow to a large size and are
said to be nearly equal to the Tou-
louise variety in early maturity.
Of the four varieties OF ducks,
Rouen, Cayuga, AylesbuTy and Picking,
we give the preference to the last for

BETTER ROADS ARE COMING
Recent Convention Held at Peoria
Gave Powerful Impetus to the
Movement In Illinois.

The recent good roads convention
at Peoria gave powerful impetus to
the good roads movement In Illinois.
Prospects are that some sort of road
legislation will be passed by the leg.
islature this coming winter.
Opposition to the hard road move
ment will come mainly from two
sources. The first is that class Of peo-
pie who do not trust the state to spend
money wisely and economically. They
believe that the township or county
can use the road money more effec-
lively. The second and largest source
of opposition is from the northern part
of the state, where the main roads are
now pretty thoroughly graveled or
macadamized The people there say
with some Justice that after having
taxed themselves to build their own
roads. they should not be compelled
to help build roads for the rest OF
the state.
This should not block the progress
OF the good roads movement, however
1t should be easily possible to devise
law to provide for an equitable dis
tribution of the state road money. In
the sections which already have mac
adamized roads, the money could be
spent for concrete pavement on the
roads where traffic is heaviest.
AS for the first objection, the state,
with a force Of trained road makers,
ought to be able to put in permanent
roads much better and at less cost
than the township or county Expe-
rience does not show that misuse CT
funds is any more likely to occur un-
der state than under county <dminis-
tration.
1t is important that the good roads
question be thoroughly threshed out
this fall and winter. We should like
to hear from our readers on this sub.
ject, and will be glad to give space
in the paper to as many letters as pos
sible. Prairie Farmer

STATE TEACHING FARMING
MISSISSIrA NOW HAS 90 AGRIcUL
TURAL HIGH SCHOOLS.
Their Total Value, Including Grounds
and Buildings, More Than Half
Million Dollars.

Observation-Disclosures and improve
ment in the agricultural high schools Of
Mississippi is constantly increasing, and
figures recently compiled in the office
OF j. N. Powers, state superintendent OF
education, will be of much interest.
Mississippi now has 20 agricultural
high schools, and five more are in
course of construction. They will doubt
less be completed within the next few
morths.
The value of the 26 schools now being
opel9 ted, including buildings, grounds,
etc. $52s,260.00. In all the buildings
nul.er 20, and there are 2,s43 pupils
in ,tendance. From these figures q
litt}~ calculation will show the schools
hay from two to three buildings al
ready erected, that each has an aver
ag' property valuation of more than
$40 40, and that the average enrcll-
me- in the schools is about 10 pupils.
IL. agricultural high schools have
bee, to be very popular in the state,
and IRE said to reach class of stu
den that the others do not interest.
The ountry boys and girls find in the
agr ltural institutions just what they
nee. to fit them for their life work,
and hey can live at the institutions
almost as cheaply as they can at home.
The Expense for board does not average
more than Sc per pupil per month.

IRON DEPOSIT FOUND.
Rich Field Near Enterprise VIII Be
Developed

Enterprise.-The citizens in this SEQ
ton are elated over the report of Dr..
T. n. Louis, state mineralogist, in re-
gard to the iron ore deposits and the
prospects to develop them in this Sec
ton. 1t has been known for several
years that the land in and adjacent to
Enterprise was underlaid with an iron
ore vein-being an ore of superior quail
ity. At one time an Englishman pur.
chased several thousand acres of land
here, with the intention of developing
the iron, but owing to his demise the
land fell to other heirs and the PROPOSE
ton was not carried out. At that time
several official analyses were made of
the ore by mineralogists, and they re-
ported that the ore would make a gem
eral average of 40 per cent iron. Last
summer DIR. loves attention was called
to same, and he paid this section two
visits of several days duration, made q
thorough investigation Of the field, Sc
lecting specimens sufficient to make an
analysis, and after making same, at his
annual report to the state, be gave out
the information that the test showed q
general average of 80 per cent iron, that
the quality was excellent and, consider
ing the unlimited supply and many nat
ural advantages, that the ore had .
commercial value and could be handled
at a highly remunerative profit.

Profitable Geese.

The best location for a duck farm is
on tidewater stream or cove, where
there is constant succession of sea
food with every tide. If given a little
house upon the shore and q variety of
grain at the evening meal they will
come home regularly every nighL
without further trouble. The eggs
are mostly laid very early in the morn
ing. The ducks should be kept shut
up in the yard until they have laid
their eggs. The Peking and the In
dian Runner are the most prolific lay
ers. The feathers of the Picking duck
are of the best quality, white, with a
creamy shade. The feathers command,
good price. It is not necessary to
have much water for ducks, yet 1t is
true that ducks will get large por-
ton of their living out OF the water.
Ducks must have grass range and
plenty of fresh, clean water to drink.
and they should also have trough OF
water to battle in If there Is no stream
handy.

Sliaua for Horses.

Experiments at the Pennsylvania
station showed that horses can grad
ually be accustomed to silage, and
can eat it safely when it is sound and
made from mature silage corn. Some
animals do not readily accept cotton
seed meal, though the number OF
such animals is relatively small. 81
lage-fed horses consumed less grain
and were better finished and sleeker
than those fed hay as the sole rough
age. The use also of cottonseed meal
resulted in higher gain and better
finish than where oats was the prin'
cipal source of protein.

Which class of horses are you rails

Sheep do not drink much water, but
what little they drink must be abso-

Don't expect to make a profit on a

proper attention.
The ewes and lambs should be kept

Lack of thrift is induced by lack of

makes a poor sheep.
Silage is we'll adapted for fattening

When hogs have free access to salt
there is little danger of their eating

Don't let the pigs get lousy. Spray

Sheep are a good medium for in

It is almost impossible to crowd

Don't leave the sheep in dry-short

GOOD SIRE MOST ECONOMICAL
Pure-Bred Bull Is Cheapest Invest
ment Farmer Can Make in Build
ing Up Standard OF Herd.

(By RAY p. SPEER, Minnesota College
OF Agriculture.)
It has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest investment
that can be made by a farmer who is
trying to build up the standard of a
herd of cattle lies in the purchase of
a good pure-bred bull 1t is not neces-
sary to buy several high-priced fe.
males as basis for the average herd,
nor is it economical. The most eco
nomical results can be obtained by
buying bull with masculinity enough
behind his good breeding to stamp his
likeness upon the calves secured.
A striking proof of this has been
shown on the cattle show circuit at
various state fairs this fall. One of
many instances will suffice. Recently
a prominent state fair Judge had to
choose between two cows with the
same dam, but sired by different
bulls, for the female championship of
the breed. So strikingly similar in
type was each of them to its own sire,
though the dam was the same, that
there was no trouble In distinguish
ing between the two. The one that
had been produced by the more out
standing sire was so superior to the
one that had been produced by the
less superior bull that there was no
trouble about the selection
The principle illustrated is prac-
teal value to the farmer who is
thinking of beginning herd with
limited capital, or who has a very
common herd that he desires to grade
up. An average group of calves will
be far superior to their commonly
bred mothers if good pure-bred bull
is used. Such bull can be pur-
chased very reasonably If proper care
is taken by the purchaser.

portion of the bag is smaller than the
mouth and that it narrows toward the
center. Through this narrowed sec
ton runs tube and through this
tube the feed flows from the storage
compartment, in the rear, to the feed
ing compartment in front. When the
bag is not in use it can be effectually
closed by folding the feeding section
Iongitudinally and then transversely,
thus completely shutting the opening
between the two. When the bag is
empty it collapses completely, owing
TO the triangular construction of the
storage part.

SUccULENT FOOD FOR STOCK
Innals With Roots or SiIage-Store
Under Feed Alley.
tBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

IBy X. q. WEATHERSTONE.)
Just as one enjoys eating an apple
acknowledgement during the
winter, when less fruit and vegetables
are used than during the sumner
just so the live stock in the winter.
when their rations consist largely Of
dry feed, need and appreciate some
form of succulent food. There is very
aittle added expense in supplying ami
znals with a reasonable amount Of
sHcculent food, either in the form of
roots or silage. For a herd of IL or
more COWS, this succulent food is most
cheaply supplied by the use of silage;
but for the smaller herd, or for man
without silo, roots afford an excel
lent substitute for silage.
By care in preparing the soil and
growing the crop, from Is to Is tons
OF roots, like mangles, rutabagas or
stock carrots, can be grown per acre.
They can be stored under the feeding
alley. or in pit outside of the barn,
at very little expense. Twenty tons
OF roots will supply 10 COWS 20 pounds
per day each for 200 days, and can
be grown and harvested at cost Of
less than $40. The nutrients contain
ed in 20 tons of roots are worth $50
when bran is worth $40 per ton; so
the feeding value of the roots is suf-
1icient to pay for the cost of pro-
duction, besides the additional advan-
tage Of their supplying the succulence
needed by the animal.
