ONE Road IS MADE PERFECT
HumnleIston Pike, Near Harrisburg,
Pa, Considered by Experts to
BE Model Highway.

Z .
The Hummelstown pike, near HaF.
risburg, Pa, is considered by experts
to be model road. It is made OF q
mixture Of water, gas, tar, cement,
liquid asphaltum, road oil, carbolic
disinfecting powder, sulphate of cop
per, and oil Of wintergreen. The sui
plate of copper is used to prevent
the oils from becoming ignited, and
the wintergreen counteracts the odor
OF the others. There Is nothing dis
agreeable about the smell. A curious
effect of the mixture is its disinfect-
ing power. During the past year
there was not a single contagious dis
ease in that section. The cost Of ap-
plying the mixture is 51z cents a
square yard. The cement binds the
dirt together like stone, and the oils
make it waterproof so that it readily
sheds water The road is never mud
dy and, unlike tar road, does not be-
come slippery in winter time. Frost
has no effect on it at all. The cost
of applying it is very small, as it is
sprinkled on like water. That the
method and the mixture is a perfect
success has been shown during the
present summer. Despite the heavy
automobile and wagon traffic, the road
is perfectly smooth and very hard,
and 1t has met the test in every way.

all means from the boy with the sling
shot or air gun and from prowling
cats.
1t has been estimated that the birds
in the United States save 5000 1000, 600
worth of crops each year. The tree
sparrows in Iowa eat 1866 pounds of
weed seed daily. One fully-fiedged
robin will eat sixteen feet Of cater
pillar daily, or about 1850 individuals
a month.
However, in spite of the persistence
of the birds the apple worm in Illi-
nois destroys $2,S75. 900 worth of fruit
each year. The potato bug damages
potatoes in Massachusetts to the
value OF $4,000. The chinch bug an
nually damages crops in the United
States to the amount of $4,000, 900.
Insects generally destroy 100000 600
worth Of crops in this country each
year.
Let us protect the birds If for no
other reason than for the welfare of
the crops. The insect ravages once
checked perhaps the high cost of liv.
ing may be somewhat reduced.

AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE

F'reeland, Md aby's eczema
started in little spots and would burst
and run all over his face and wher-
ever the water would touch his face,
1t would make another sore. Pimpies
would break out and make his face
sore and infiamed, and he was very
cross and fretful. It was awful. He
suffered tortures from it, and we had
to tie mittens on his hands to keep
him from scratching. A friend Of mine
told me OF the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and / went to q drug store and
bought them.
when we would battle his face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment, he would be much bet
ter. He would wake up in the nights
and cry with his face and we would
put on some of the Cuticura Ointment
and then he would rest all night. They
have cured him completely Of the

ALFALFA AS. a soILING CROP
Few Raticns for All Kinds Of Farm
Animals That Cannot Be Inn
proved by Addition Of Hay.
(By W. n. KELLEY.)


On most farms where only a few
acres OF alfalfa can be grown success
fully, think the most will be realized
from 1t, to cut the crop green and use
it for green feeding. 1t is the best
soiIing crop that we can grow for all
kinds of farm animals. There are
few rations that cannot be improved
both in economy and efficiency by the
addition Of alfalfa.
When using It for soiling purposes
there is danger in feeding it to hungry
sheep and cattle unless fed in moder-
ate quantities after 1t has wilted. In
my own practice have found it safe
to allow it to become wilted before
feeding it to the sheep and cattle in
the yards and stables.
In this way we can now NOW
enough to last two or three days at a
time and haul it to the various feed
ing places for use when it is needed.
1t viii keep in excellent condition If
placed In cocks as soon as it is wilted
and covered with cloth Sbr canvas COW
ers. In this way it escapes drying to
brittleness and still keeps in ideal con-
dition for feeding.
There is no danger in feeding wilted
alfalfa to sheep and cattle that have
become gradually accustomed to eat
Ing it. Many feeders give it to their
work teams, but it requires the best
Of Judgment to keep work teams in
good vigorous condition and every
change in the line OF feeding should
be gradual.
It is good plan to cut and cure
the first emitting for hay and then de-
pend upon the later cuttings to sup
plement the pastures. A few acres
Of this valuable forage crop should
be established on every stock farm.

Good Roads
GEdI.mN Notes

Batten the cracks.
Poorly drained bottom lands are not
suitable for alfalfa.
Many silos will be filed with frost
bitten corn this year.
Prices Of all kinds of grain are low
er than they have been for some time.
Practical farmers consider it a
waste Of feed to plow down crop of
clover.
The rule for blowing under clover
for green manure is when the heads
are brown.
After seed corn is gathered from
the field it should be dried as quickly
as possible.
Corn grown for grain and for fodder
should be cut and shocked as soon
as possible.
Kafir struck by frost when green
VIII generally color some after it is
in the shock.
Kafir killed by the frost will make
fair feed even if it is green, but it is
not salable.
The 1912 hay crop is estimated at
72.0O0,0OO tons, Last years was fig-
ured at 55.0O0.000.
Flowing gardens in the fall gets rid
of most Of the weed seed and makes
them easier to tend next spring.
One Of the great drawbacks ON
many farms Is the small size and ir-
regular shape Of the cultivated fields.
Expert truckers and gardeners pile
the manure close to where it is to be
used; this saves handling in tbs
spring

To stretch a wire, back the wagon
up to within a few feet of the corner
post SO that the inside of the wheel
is in line with the fence. Raise that
side of the wagon so the wheel will
clear the graund and prop it up with
a board. Then take a 2x4 about seven
feet long, and place one end against
the axle and the other on the ground,
says the Iowa Homestead. After this
is done tie a strong rope to one spoke

that while the seat is held in place
the poles may work independently of
each other. As the seat is bolted to

making the implement much easier to
