AVOID DISEASES OF POULTRY
May Be Prevented by Giving Gin
ger and Soda in Milk.

Where milk is fed regularly to the
chickens. teaspoonful of ginger and
soda added to each gallon every third
or fourth day will prevent cholera or
other bowel troubles. Stir the mix
ture until thoroughly dissolved before
feeding. This is very easily prepared,
and will keep their digestive organs
toned and sweetened.
When fattening fowls, skim-milk
should be used to mix the mash.
They like it better, and in this way
are induced to eat just as much more
as the milk, while serving as mois-
ture to wet the mash, is also a hearty
food

The Increase Of Values Due to Better

The Increase Of Values Due to Better
Roads.
lin this enlightened day and age it is
hardly necessary again to point out the
advantages Of good roads not only
from dollar and cents standpoint.
but from an educational and aesthetic
standpoint as well We cannot re
frain, however. from calling attention
to one or two pertinent facts which
have been brought to light. says the

of public roads has issued some figures
to illustrate its declaration. that land

roads are improved. farmer in Les.
county, Va. owned n hundred acres.
which he offered to sell for $500. The
road through the land was improved III
1908, and the farmer opposed the i'm
proyenent. Since its completion. how
ever. he has refused $4,000 for the
land On the same road there is q
tract of 1900 acres. supposed to have
been sold for $4,000 dispute arose
as to whether the sale had been con-
summated, Tne supposed purchaser
refused to take the contract. and the
owner threatened to sue. After the
road was improved the same tract was
sold for $4,000 to the original pur
chaser without any additions or i'm
provements on the land for which he
previously had declined to pay $4,000.
From the other standpoint the set of
resolutions adopted by good roads
convention in Illinois is of interest:
improved roads mean better schools and
larger attendance, better health and
quicker medical attention. better farms
and more cultivated land. better crops
and cheaper transportation, better eco
nomic conditions and less isolation. better
church attendance and better citizens. bet
ter postal service and closer friends. bet
ter business and more consumers, better
industries and more employment. better
state and better nation
The road question is perennial one.
but there is no denying that there is
more interest and discussion this year
than ever before. thanks largely to the
agitation in the legislatures OF most of
the states for remedial action which
will give the people the relief for whicl,
they have long been waiting.

to Furnish Supplies.
The state highway commission will
purchase all the cement used to build
Illinois state aid roads" The mem
bers reached this conclusion recently
and have sent letters to cement compa-
MES asking for bids. The commission
hopes to insure the best quality of ma
teriais at the lowest possible cost. 1t
also will give the small contractor an
road building. The plan to furnish ce-
ment to the contractors was reached
after an investigation of the conditions
in Wisconsin, California and Michigan,
where similar operations have been
successful
I'VE believe the commissions plan
to purchase the cement will give the
small contractor who cannot afford to
buy in great quantities an equal chance
with the big operator who can said
