Upper S c Conference Closed

The first annual session of the Up
per South Carolina Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, which convened at Spartan
burg last week, adjourned Monday
to meet next year in Greenville.
The body before adjournment went
on record in favor of compulsory
education, refused to adopt a reso-
luton protesting against the national
programme of preparedness, put Oft
until next year the question of a
change of name and left the fra
ternity question at Wofford College,
which had become the subject of dis
cussion in the ante-room, untouched
officially. Before adjourning the
conference also adopted resolution
requesting the State Legislature to
enact law requiring the attend
ance at school of every normal child
between the ages of eight and four
teen years. provided, however, the
proper authority may excuse for
sufficient cause.

can stand on the road, ruts will re.
suit and when these are ground down
dust forms and finally a loose roadbed
results.
Keeping the roadbed well crowned
and smooth will hold the moisture in
it so that it will pack hard
Weeds must also be kept several
feet from the wheeltrack else they
will draw the moisture from the road
bed and thus loosen it up; this is
especially true in regions of moderate
rainfall.
Trees should not be allowed to
shade the road as this keeps it too
moist on the surface after rains so
that travel spells the surface.
The making of smooth roadbed
requires that when the soil is put on,
1t be laid in layers and not in piles.
When dumped in piles some places
will be more packed than others and
there will likely be difference in the
density, while if laid on in layers this
will be avoided. Each layer should
be narrowed, or better yet, disked and
packed before the next one is laid
down. In this way good roadbed is
secured from the first, while if the
soil is just dumped on the road to be
leVeled and packed by the traffic over
the road q good roadbed will never be
secured.
The best tool for keeping the road
well crowned and the surface smooth
is the splftlog drag. This tool should
be used soon after a rain. The soil
Is then loose and easily moved. The
drag moves but small amounts of soil
and smears it on the roadbed in thin
layers which is just what is wanted.
It cuts off any projections and fills
up any low places.
Where there is standing water the
,roadbed should be kept at least a
foot above the water surface and
eighteen inches is better. The nature
of the soil and the length of time that
the water stands along the road will
to degree determine how high the
roadbed must be above the water.
In dry-farming territory it is i'm.
portant to keep the weeds away from
the roadbed and to keep the roadbed
we'll crowned and smooth.

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department of Agriculture Recon-
lends Mixture of Soap and Kero.
seue-Use Spray or Wash.

CBy CHARLES l. BRAY, Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station)
During the summer months, when
cattle are most likely to be bothered
with flies, there are many people
who wish to know what can be done
as a preventive. There are num-
ber Of methods sometimes recommend.
ed for this purpose, some Of which are
supposed to keep flies off the animal
by virtue of their bad OdOr or greasy
nature, and some which are supposed
to be sprayed on to kill the flies.
Considerable doubt exists as to the
benefits to be obtained from using
any Of these treatments, or as to the
relative value of the different ways
of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time, there is possibly moth
ing more reliable than kerosene
emulsion. The following recipe
given by the United States department
Of agriculture is one of the best ways
OF making this: Dissolve one-half
pound of hard soap in one gallon of
hot water, and while still at near boil
ing point add two gallons kerosene,
and emulsify by use of a force pump
or agitator of some kind. Dilute with
water, one part emulsion to eight
parts water, and use as a spray, dip
or wash.

SHEEP REQUIRE SOME SHADE
Best Place for Shed Is on Open
Ground Where There Is No
Grass-High Fence viii DO.

De not allow the sheep to lie around
in fence corners or huddle in under
brush. The best shade Is a shed on
open ground where there is no grass.
A little bit of shelter is fine for
sheep. Even if it be nothing more
than high board fence on the side
toward the sunshine it will help lot.
The sheep can snuggle up near to
that and escape the direct rays of the
sun.
Better than such fence is a piece
Oh woodland. We have cluster of lit
tie hemiocks in our pasture, up on a
side hill, says writer in an exchange.
The sheep run up into that and escape
not only the heat, but also the miser,
able flies that hurt them so.

Feed Table for Poultry.

square and ten inches deep. The back
part of the box is boarded up three
inches, which leaves an opening for
the hen to enter the nest from be-
meath the table.
Over each nest door is cut through
the top Of the table and hinged in
place, thus making it convenient to
gather the eggs without pulling out
the box. The advantages of such an
arrangement are: The eggs can be
gathered without stopping, the nests
are dark, no floor space is utilized, the
food and drinking water are kept clean,
the nests can be taken out and cleaned
with little trouble.

GOOD ROADS AND MOISTURE
When Soil is Dry it CrumbIes to Dust
and When it Contains Too Much
Water it Becomes Mud.

CBy ". c. PALMER. North Dakota En-
pertinent Station.)
One Of the important factors in
roadmaking is to control the moisture
content of the soil in making up the
roadbed. When the soil is dry it
crumbles to dust and when it contains
too much water it becomes mud.
These are the two extremes to avoid.
To make hard roadbed the soil must
contain fair amount OF moisture.
The control of the moisture requires
that the roadbed be higher in the mid
die and smooth so that water cannot
stand on it but will run off. II water

CARE FOR INCUBATOR HATCH
Some Judgment Should Be Exercised
In Testing Eags-Remove Infer
tile Eggs When Found.

In caring for hatch with an incu-
bator some judgment should be exer.
cised when testing the eggs. Some
people do not even try to test the eggs,
fearing they will throw out some that
are fertile. Now this Is all nonsense,
for IT the eggs do not keep together
in appearance you may be sure that
some of them are no good. The ma
5ority Of the eggs will show a daily
advance. Some who are expert at the
business commence testing the eggs
on the sixth day, but one who is I'M
accustomed to the business cannot tell
with certainty which are fertile and
which are not until the ninth or tenth
day.
Now and then chick will die when
q week or ten days along, and will get
offensive to the olfactory nerves if
allowed to remain in the incubator.
In fact an egg becomes so foul as to
interfere with the hatch. All such
eggs should be removed, as soon as
discovered.
Clear eggs should be taken out Just
as soon as you discover them to be
infertile, and these can be cooked and
given to the young chicks to eat. The
removal of these will keep the eggs
down to the ones containing the live
chicks and will make the work Of car
ing for them less and give you a bet
ter chance to study the remaining
eggs.

The split-log drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainte-
nance of the public highways than any
implement of modern usage. It does
not require special acts of the legis-
lature, bond issues or expensive edu-

work. A drag can be built or pur-
chased for $40 and is easily operated
by anyone who can drive a team.
