GOOD ROADS AID SANITATION

ment of Public Health.

Friends of good roads should add to
their usual arguments one which is
not so frequently used. but is very i'm
overwhelmingly, that good roads are
direct aids to sanitation.
Weeds and other rank vegetable
growths are prolific breeders of flies,
mosquitoes and other disease-carrying
insects. Sound road building causes
the removal of weeds and similar
trash Weed and brush undergrowths
by the roadside invite deposit OF gar
bage and offal. Good roads do away
with these disease-breeding agencies.
Good roads also prevent disease by
providing good drainage. Many farms
have no drainage except by bitches
along the side of the road. Open
bitches, clear of brush and debris, of
hard surface and proper fall afford
farms an opportunity to rid them
selves of stagnant pools.
Oiing of roads destroys insect lar
vac. Dry, hard roads also enable Pc

DOES NOT CAUSE SOIL ACID
Doubtful II Small Amount of Land
Plaster Generally Applied Has
Any Serious Effect.

The fear that the application of
land plaster makes soils acid, Is UNI
founded. At least 1t Is doubtful II
the small amount generally applied
has any serious and immediate ia,
huence upon the acidity of the soil,
This is the belief of b. b. Hart of
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who from time
to time has carried on numerous ex.
periments to determine the influence
of applying land plaster, rock phos-
plate and other fertilizers to fields
upon which various crop rotations
were followed
The theory that land plaster ap-
piled to soil would make it acid, Is
based on the assumption that the
plants remove from the soil more
calcium than sulphur, thereby leaving
behind greater proportion of the
acid part of the land plaster. On the
contrary, it has been shown that the
common cereals, wheat, oats, corn,
barley and such other plants as the
turnip, rutabaga, cabbage and onion,
make positively greater demands for
sulphur than for calcium and appli'
cations Of land plaster for such crops
will tend to make the soils alkaline
rather than acid. Such plants as
the meadow grasses, clover, alfalfa.
sugar beets and tobacco use more
calcium than sulphur and In their
case the application Of land plaster
would have tendency toward devel'
oping acid soil. Potatoes use about
equal amounts of calcium and sui
phur, and land plaster could not pos
sibly influence soil reaction in this
case.

stroyed, SO that even in the Wettest
weather it will bear traffic. This per-
mits the firing of the clay along the
entire length of the road thus avoid
ing the cost of hauling it, and at the
same time gaining the advantage OF
burning the foundation of the road as
we'll as the material to be placed upon
It,
Good solid wood is laid at intervals
along the side of the road, about one
cord for eight linear feet of roadbed,
twelve feet wide. The road bed is
first evenly graded and then plowed
as deeply as practical. burrows about
four feet apart are then dug across
the road and extended beyond the part
to be burned on either side. The first
course OF cord wood is laid Longitude
nally, so as to fire series of tiues in
which the firing is started. From 10
to 20 of these fiues are fired at once.
The rest of the cord wood is then
placed on this flooring and then the
clay is placed over the whole struc'
ture as evenly as possible, in layer
of not less than six to eight inches.
This is tamped and rounded on, so
that the heat will be held within the
flues as long as possible.
After burning, the road is graded
and rolled until the road bed is smooth
and hard.

VALUABLE HINT FOR FARMER
DrcppInss From 1000 Fowls, II Prop
erly Cared For Will Return
Profit Of $500 Yearly,

The poultryman or farmer can ma
tlrially add to the profits Of his bust
ness by properly caring for the drop
pings of his fowls. For example, 1t Is
shown that the droppings from 1000
fowls II pres erved without needless
loss are worth at least 5000 per an
mum, and this estimate Is based on
The assumption that less than half of
the droppings, or only 80 pounds per
hen per year, can be collected.
According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected daily,
and mixed with substances which will
% prevent loss of nitrogen, ca add
sufficient potash and phosphoric acid
TO make a better-balanced fertilizer,
and 60 improve the mechanical con-
dition of the manure SO that 1t can
be applied to the land with a manure
spreader.
This can be done as follows: To
each 80 pounds of the manure add 10
pounds of sawdust, good dried loan,
CT peat, l6 pounds Of acid phosphate,
and pounds OF kainit. Such mix
ture will contain about 1.25 per cent
of nitrogen, As per cent of phosp horic
acid, and 9 per cent of potash, which,
used at the rate of 2 tons per acre
would furnish so pound of nitrogen,
lS5 pounds of phosphoric acid, and so
pounds of potash, and at the present
price of fertiliZing ingredients is worth
about $40 per ton. The mixture would
furnish a well-balanced stable fertil-
izer which, although not fine enough
to work well in drills, can be success.
fully applied with manure spreader
The treated manure should be well
sheltered until time to apply to the
land-that Is, shortly before blowing.

In some sections of the country the

roads can be constructed is clay. In
such localities traffic is almost en-
tirely impossible during the wet sea-
sons, as the wheels of the heavy We
hicles will sink to the hub.
In order to correct this condition,
the United States office of public roads
made the experiment of burning the
