KEEP THE STRAIGHT ROADS
Department of Agriculture Advocates
Building Highways Around Hills
Instead Of Over Them.

The United States department OF ag-
riculture is advocating the plan OF
building roads around hills instead OF
over them. From the road builders
standpoint this is simple way to
avoid expensive grading. From the
practical standpoint it will never do,
except perhaps in few exceptional
cases. The straight section line roads
give the farmer rectangular helds,
which are worked with the minimum
of inconvenience. A triangular field.
or one odd shaped in any way, greatly
increases the labor of almost every
field operation. Added to this incon-
venience of farmers is the danger to
road users from curves In these days
of rapidity moving automobiles. The
only practical way to do away with
hills in the roads is to cut through
them.

WhiteWash the Stables.

Although whitewash is not an active
disinfectant, in the usual meaning Of
the term, 1t is an excellent purifier
and should in all cases be used in
stables after they have been thorough
ly cleansed and disinfected with other
agents. Hot whitewash for this pur-
pose is better than cold. If chloride
of lime is added to whitewash in the
proportion of four ounces to the gal
lon, the value of this application is
greatly increased. 1t is advisable to
whitewash COW stables frequently-at
least once in six months, and, better,
every three months where diseased
animals have been kept

ATTENTION FOR SHEEP FLOCK
Animals Are Dainty Feeders and Will
Not Touch Hay That Other Stock
Has Mussed over.

Shep are dainy feeders. They will
not eat hay that other stock have
mussed over and they will refuse
grain taken from a ratty crib. Sheep
should have a we'll ventilated shed

writer in the Practical Farmer, they
should be allowed their freedom to
run out and in at their will. Nothing

as sheep:

selves, and give them a little extra
feed. Perhaps they are suffering
from the greed of the bosses in the
flock, and are not getting full ra'
ton. Oats, wheat, bran, linseed meal
and clover hay should be provided
for ewes. Dip the sheep Immediately
after shearing, and again in about
three weeks, to destroy the ticks that
may have escaped at the first dip

COST OF DUCK PRODUCTION
Fifty to One Hundred of Birds Can
Be Raised on Almost Every Farm
at Handsome Profit.

1t is generally supposed that more
grain is required to grow pound Of
duck than to produce pound Of
chicken, but this is not the case, as
carefully conducted experiments show
that it takes from 3.25 to 3.75 pounds
of grain to produce one pound Of
chicken, whereas 1t takes only about
3.15 pounds of grain to produce one
pound of duck.
In 1911 experiment, fifteen run
ner ducks were hatched May and
fifteen on May 6. At ten weeks Of
age they were marketed, weighing
1913 pounds and brought 20 cents q
pound. They had been fed 403
pounds of material valued at two
cents pound, making the cost of one
pound of duck 6.3 cents. Add to this
the cost of labor, ETC., and the net
cost per pound is not more than ten
cents, leaving a net profit of ten cents
q pound.
We do not advocate extensive duck
growing for the average farmer, but
we do say that so to 100 ducks can be
raised annually on almost every farm
at a handsome profit.-Illinois Farm
ers' Institute.

NORTH CAROLINA GOOD ROADS
Improved Thoroughfares Tend to
Prosperity Of Farmers and Saving
Of Time Is Considerable.
(By N. BUCKNER)

(By N. BUCKNER)
Throughout the mountain region OF
western North Carolina the good
roads sentiment has attained proper
tions and gathered such impetus as to
sweep aside objections to expendi-
lures for good roads, which Is usually
the case in all progressive movements
Of great moment. The movement had
its inception In Asheville, North Caro-
lima, when the Asheville and Bun
combe County Good Roads association
was organized by few public spir-
tied men who realized the loss to
this beautiful mountain country by
reason OF lack of good roads which
made 1t impossible for not only the
people of this section, but the tourists
and visitors from going from one
point to another.
Immediately after the organization
Of this association, II raised $4,000
by subscription and regarded and
macadamized the road from Asheville
to Biltmore, a distance of little
more than two miles. This one piece
OF work in itself demonstrated to the

MAKING PROFIT IN TANKAGE
Article Is Becoming More and More
Popular as Nitrogenous Supple
ment to Corn In Feeding.

Tankage is becoming more and
more popular as a nitrogenous sup
plement to corn in pork making, says
the National Stockman. This is espe-
cially true in the middle west, where
the packers have pushed its sale. No
doubt exists as to its value. At the
Ohio experiment station Professor
Carmichael placed one 100-pound pig
with each two steers being fed corn.
The pigs found full feed of corn in
the droppings from the steers. One
half Of the pigs were fed in addition
to the corn .one-third pound each Of
tankage per day, The increased gains
over the pigs fed no tankage amount
ed to 1862 pounds for each 100 pounds
of tankage fed. At present prices of
hogs this means a big profit on tank
age fed. Tankage contains about 90
per cent. crude protein and should be
bought now for about $40 per ton.

MARKETING OF LAMB CROP
voted to Task of Getting AMI
mails In Proper Condition.

Every flock owner should deyote
particular attention to the handling
of his flock In such manner that his
crop Of lambs Will be in proper con
dition to market when the price is
right to sell.
The increasing demand for fancy
mutton at times during the year has
given flock owners a much better op'
portunity to sell their lambs when
prices are on higher level than dur
ing the ordinary season.
The man with flock OF high-class
mutton sheep has field of operation
all his own. Today there is a steady
demand for all the lambs he can pro-
duce at any season of the year and at
prices that insure a fair margin OF
profit.
1t is simply matter of having his
lambs in good condition when the
markets are not overloaded with the
products from the large feed lots. In
Alma record., 1914-02-05

close proximity to the large cities In
the eastern states there is profitable
field for the winter lamb business.
This Is a branch of the sheep busi-
ness that can never suffer because of
competition with the large feed lots.
The consumers Of this class of fancy
mutton are the rich people who have
money to pay for any article that
pleases their palates and who will
never accept the feed lot lamb as a
substitute for the tender, juicy and
palatable lamb that possesses supe-
rior qualities.
Another branch of mutton growing
that perhaps is better adapted to the
average farmer is that of maturing
spring lambs for the market. Such
lambs are ready for market shortly
after the winter lambs are sold. AS a
general rule such lamsb bring more
money than those that are held back
and finished along toward autumn.

LOUISE is SOURCE OF WORRY
Energy Fowl Uses In Fighting Para
site Uses Up Feed Intended for
Production Of Eggs.
(By A. c. SMITH.)

The body-louse crawls rapidly
around the body Of the fowl, irritating
the skin with its very rough, file-like
claws and is consequently very annoy
ing to the fowls, and very expensive
to the poultryman, for the energy that
the fowl expends in fighting lice uses
up feed that should be used for
growth, the accumulation of fat, and
for egg production.
When hen has access to bed Of
road dust, fine dry loan, sand, or
sifted coal ashes, she will rid herself
of many body lice, but she cannot
get rid of all of them without the aid
Of some destroying agent applied
regularly at intervals of few weeks
These lice breathe through very
small tubes or pores, and by covering
these with oil or filling them with
very fine powder breathing is pre-
vented and the lice are smothered. On
account Of the hens long feathers, it
is easier to dust with Dalmatian or
Persian insect powder, tobacco, sui
phur, or air-slacked lime, than to try
to reach the louse with oil or grease.

team to the road drag, making two
round trips Of a two-miles each every
day. That road was in excellent shape
nearly all winter. 1t is still one of the
best pieces of highway in the county
with the exception of the metalled
roads.
South of here few miles the mer-
chants in little town resorted to a
dozen different plans to get the farm
ers to keep dragging the roads last
winter. They made price reductions
to the men who drove into town pull
ing road drags. The farther the drags
had come the more the reductions.
They advertised these plans extensive
ly, gained a good deal of trade, had a
steady trade all winter because of the
good roads and the whole community
was benefited by better transportation
facilities.
IL is remarkable how many miles OF
road a man can drag who gives some
thought and just little time to keep
ing the highways in good shape. No
matter how badly "cut up" the high
way may be il the surface Is soft the
road drag will smooth it down wonder
fully. There was hardly week last
winter when every one of the seven
men who formed the agreement failed
to drag five or six miles Of the high
way
Where the school is lively and Wig
orous there is always a chance of get
ting up some road-dragging enthusiasm
there Every man in the neighborhood
is interested in the school; that the
women are interested goes without
saying. Good roads all winter mean
a better attendance A meeting most
any Friday afternoon at the school
house ought to result in good many
miles of dragged road the next day.

Always test the hen on china or
nest eggs before setting.
Cabbages, mangels, potatoes, etc.,
make excellent green feed.
A well ventilated cellar is the best

ROADS.
GOVERNMENT HELP is READY
Office Of Public Roads Of Department
Of Agriculture Testing Materials
and Their Usefulness.

So far has the government ad-
vanced in the problems connected
with road construction that efforts
are now being made to teach the
country that the expenditure of large
sums of money on certain types OF
roads may result almost in total
waste. A road built of materials
which would be ideal In one locality
may not serve the purpose at all else
where and the money expended may
bring scarcely any result in reducing
the cost of hauling or making 1t easier
for the farmer to get to the shipping
point with his crops.
In order to aid farmers who want
to build their own roads and to as
sist various communities that desire
TO improve the roads near by, the Of
flee of public roads of the department
OF agriculture has employed experts
TO test all materials and study their
usefulness on roads subjected to GER
tain traffic conditions. The office of
public roads is now acting In an ad-
visory capacity to many states and
countries, giving most practical
form of national aid.
On roads where there Is very
heavy traffic, It has been found that
certain kind of materials are better
than others, and that while one kind
of binder may not serve the purpose
at all, another kind is ideal and pre-
serves the road indefinitely. Millions
of dollars doubtless have been wasted
in the past because of the absence OF
the scientific knowledge which is now
being obtained There is no longer
any excuse for any community build
ing the wrong kind of road, as the Of
fee of public roads stands ready to
furnish any information that may be
desired as to the course that should
be pursued.
In discussing the new scientific
movement in road Improvement Di-
rector Page Of the Office of public
roads, says:
There are two ways in which the
engineer may avail himself of the in
formation necessary to a proper Sc
lection Of road material. The first and
only certain one is to make an actual
service test on the material under
observation, and under the same con-
ditions of traffic and climate to which
the proposed road will be subjected
This method, however, is impractical
except In certain rare instances, due
10 the lapse of time which must elapse
before definite results can be obtained.
The second method is, by means of
short time laboratory tests, to approx
mate as nearly as possible the destruc-
tive agencies to which the material
will be subjected on the road, supple
menting the knowledge thus gained
by study of the results already OBJ
tanned in practice on material of
similar nature"
The Office or public roads constantly
uses both methods. At Chevy Chase,
near Washington. D. c., model road
has been built in sections made of
different materials, while in the lab
oratory of the office tests are con-
stantly being made with scientific ac-
curacy to determine the exact value
of certain materials under certain traf-
f1c conditions,
