The road drag is giving the public,
the politicians and the county super

them, we sometimes think, more than
the drag itself, troubles the roads. 1t
is such a foolishly simple thing, SO
cheap apd go easily made, that the
average man off the farm, and not a
few on the farm, are prone to think:
Can there any good thing come out
Of such Nazareth
II seems to be impossible by any
legislation that has been enacted, to
induce farmers generally to use the
drag. The townsmen with automo-
biles soundly belabor the farmers for
not using It, and sometimes hound the
farmers along these automobile roads
into using 1t when 1t is a damage In
stead Of benefit.
The inherent difficulty in using the
drag and making legislation effective
Is this, that the drag cannot be used

Apples Should Be

keting Quality.
HERMAN BECKENSTRATER.
Maryland Agricultural College.

When shall we start to pick apples?
For the small boy this question Is not
difficult one to answer, for he can
decide Immediately, act promptly, and
think 1t over later II there is occasion.
In the case of the grower, however, 1t
takes considerable judgment and ex.
perience to decide when his apples are
just right for picking.
II picked too soon, the fruit will be
understood, poorly colored, and inferior
In quality. If allowed to hang on too
long the keeping and shipping quail
ties of the apples are injured.
The time for picking red apples is
generally judged by their color and
that of green varieties by the color OF
their seeds. The latter method Is the
most reliable indication of ripeness,
for winter apple, picked just as its
seeds have turned light brown and
before they become dark around the
edges will be found to have not only
full flavor but also good keeping quail.
ties. Frequently, however, red apples
are left to hang on the trees for some
time after the seeds indicate maturity.
to allow them to take on more color.
The handling of the fruit begins
with the picking. and the path from
the orchard to market Is likely to
prove bumpy one unless some simple
precautions are taken to prevent
bruising. Apples should not be grab
bed, jerked, or shaken from the tree.
Such treatment destroys many fruit
spurs and seriously Injuries the fruit.
II the stems are pulled out or the skin
is broken, rot fungi quickly gets hold
and starts decay.
Good fruit should be most carefully
handled. 1t should be laid into the
basket or bag into which 1t is picked,
not thrown or dropped. The padded
half bushel basket with swing handle
and wire hook to hang on the limbs
is probably the best thing to pick into,

RETAINING EFFICIENT TEACH.
ERS A SERIOUS PR .BLEM
Agricultural College Bulletin Points
Out Difficulties and Remedies For
This Condition In Country
Districts.

One of the great problems. at pres
eht, Is the retention Of an efficient
agricultural teacher for any great
length OF time In our rural high
schools. This is due to the great de.
mand for these men in other agricul.
turai pursuits and to the limited sup
ply OF trained teachers. The problem
may be reduced by the employment Of
home teachers, by the adjustment Of
salaries, and by increasing the length
OF the term of service.
The agricultural teacher should be
employed for the entire year in order
that he may render the greatest pos
sibie service to the community. By EN-.
ploying him for a longer term his
position will be on an equal footing
with other agricultural callings, thus
reducing the chance of losing his serv.
Ices when he has become valuable to
the school and to the community.
1t Is as important to consider the
personality Of the teachers as 1t is to
consider his college training. He
comes in closer touch with the life of
the country community than any other
school official He, through his ex-
emplary habits, ability to do things,
and general culture, must be able to
command the respect of the entire COM
munity. The boy in the school must
feel that his teacher knows of what he
speaks, and the parent must be salts.

one who is qualified to instill correct
ideals of farm life and its possibilities.

Along in the fall of the year, many
focks of chickens become affected with
a mild disease called sore head, or
chcken-pox. Small, dry sores develop
on the head parts of the birds that are
not covered by feathers. The comb is
the part most often affected in mild
epidemics of adult fowls. but often the
eye and corner Of the mouth becomes
diseased.
Simply amounting the diseased parts
with vaseline has always cured our
fiocks, but l have seen cases where
other diseases such as colds or roup
accompanied 1t and where the vaseline
treatment was not very efficient. In
cases of this kind the other diseases
must be treated as well.
The above photograph shows the
scab-like formation of sore head on
young, half-grown chick. Some years
the disease raises havoc in fiocks of
young chicks, but can be checked by
the vaseline treatment.

EXERCISE CARE IN FEEDING
NEW CORN TO HOGS.
r. S. ALLEN.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When new corn becomes available
for feeding, care should be taken not
to feed hogs too heavily on 1t at first,
as 1t is likely to cause indigestion.
Those that have been kept on green
pasture during the summer are not
nearly 30 likely to be affected when
new corn feeding is begun, as those
which have been kept In the dry lot or
the house, and II the pigs have had
the run Of a clover or alfalfa pasture,
there is practically no danger. If a
few pumpkins are fed In connection
with the corn, the seeds will act as a
vermifuge and no serious trouble will
arise.
When the hogs are in good, healthy
condition, new corn may be fed with
out danger, but good judgment must
be used at all times. or the results may
be the loss of the entire herd.
