war began. They saw a vast army
of the unemployed enrolled in the
industrial centers of the United
States. They saw and read and
heard the record of national disas-
ter that accompanied the turning on
of the boasted new freedom. They
are too patriotic to condemn this
country to four years more or soup
and rags merely because Europe has
on its hands a war with which we
have no more legitimately to do than
with the Balkan war. Did you ever
ever hear anyone going about the
country trying TO make war hero
out of Mr.. Taft because he kept this
country out of the Balkan war? Ger
tainly Mr.. Marshal never did any
thing of the kind.
Forget the issues that concern
you and think OF those that effect
Europe" is the Democratic war cry
al present. II is a confession of the
collapse OF the Democratic domestic
issues. The Democratic politicians
know the kind of a verdict the peo-
pie have prepared on their record OF
wreck and ruin in the United States,
and tsey are trying hard to change
the subject. Their conversation may
affect a few OF the unthinking. but

To Avoid "Colds."

"A few points to remember if you
would avoid taking cold Never go
directly from very warm atmosphere
into very cold air. Don't jump from
an overheated room into an ice'cold
bed on a sleeping porch. Remove
your wraps when shopping indoors On
a cold day or when visiting. Don't
bundle up the throat, but don't ex'
pose the whole chest. Seventy degrees
should be the highest temperature in
your living rooms or Offices. Don't
overexert, then expose yourself to in
fection in a draft or in hot room
that is probably full of disease germs
Keep your vitality at par, avoid
people with bad colds, and you will
probably get through the bad seasons
with not more than sniffie or so."-

mers' stoves during the last few years,
has caused a problem In the keeping
of clean cistern water Formerly il
was the usual custom TO either dig
out a big tree trunk and sink il into
the ground or To buy stave tank of
several barrels capacity and sink IL
below the surface. Now the coal SCOT
settles on the roof and with each rain
is washed into the water. The result
is enough TO cause irreverent thoughts
to enter any housewives mind. es-
pecially if she has TO use this mixture
i'm washing white clothes.
But there is some chance to get
around this trouble. First, ! will tell
you what we do. Our cistern is seven
feet deep and about six feet across.
Just off from the centre we have built
a double wall OF brick leaving a space
Of four inches between the rows of
bricks. This is filled with charcoal.
The inlet pipe from the roof empties
into the larger side of the cistern and
the pump from inside the house pulls
from the smaller side OF the partition
All the water i'm the cistern must filter
through this brick and charcoal be-
fore IL gets where we use it,
Another help TO clear water is a
spout from the main pipe from the
roof arranged something like a switch.
With this the water from the roof,
when the rain starts, is turned off into
the sewer until the roof is somewhat
cleaned of SCOT that has gathered
there.-R. Il. X.

Tips Prom the Roost

1t is said that a larger percentage OF
pullets can be produced by mating
young females with older males This
is worth remembering when a larger
number of pullets are desired for the
next winters laying.
If you neglected TO start a poultry
account on January LIST there is still
plenty of time to find out what your
hens are doing. Keep an account of
the feed, eggs, broilers, etc, and the
profit may cause the poultry business
to rise in your estimation.
1t is reported that the hen and the
incubator are Matching about $685.
100000 worth Of stock annually.
If your hens will not lay in Febru-
airy and they have been receiving pro-
per care there. is something funda-
mentally wrong with your flock. The
hen that only lays in the spring when
eggs are cheap has too much com
petition TO be profitable.
After mating the breeding pens do
not use any of the eggs for Matching
until about three weeks have elapsed.
Early Matching is the most import
ant factor in building up a flock for
winter laying. Now is the time to pre-
pare for those strong, vigorous, early
Matched pullets.
BE sure and give the old incubator
good cleaning before filling il with
eggs Wash the egg trays with hot
water containing a good disinfectant
in the proportions OF a tablespoonful
to a gallon of water.
Hot food is necessary on these cold
March days. The hen that is using
all her energy To warm the food will
not be an egg producer
If you have an earth floor in your
hen house il should be a foot higher
than the ground outside. This will
prevent the moisture rising in the soil
and causing a damp house.
The old glass window in the poultry
house is out of date. The curtain
front will give the birds plenty of fresh
air and keep out the draughts.
When frost is seen on the inside
walls OF the poultry house 1t means
that the ventilation is poor. This
should be Immediately corrected or
the vitality OF the birds will suffer.
If you are raising the heavy Asiastic
breeds do not use high, narrow roosts.
The heavy fowls like 10 sit on broad
roost close to the ground.

THE INCUBATOR


The modern incubator as offered TO
farmers today is one of the most val
liable as well as necessary farm inn
PIGMENTS. A well-constructed incuba-
tor which embodies all the necessar ny
elements of natural incubation,
supplies at least three important con-
ditions Heat, moisture and ventla-
ton. Without these i'm proper pro-
portions the machine is not a success.
In the earlier development of the arti-
fetal hatcher the only thought and
effort was TO produce and maintain a
sufficient amount Of heat, believing
that 1913 degrees of temperature was
all that was necessary 10 hatch big,
fluffy chicks. Heat alone may hatch
an egg, but the incubator must also
supply moisture and pure air in order
that the chick may make good start.
Many farmers make a mistake in
selecting for their first trial at artii-
cial incubation, one OF those pine
box and tin lamp affairs" which is
made TO sell and not TO hatch. The eggs
placed in these affairs do not hatch
well as a rule, even while the machine
is new, and the chicks that do man
age TO incubate soon dwindle away
well built machine with a small
outlay for repairs after several years,
should last a lifetime and pay for
itself many times over. The size OF
the incubator TO buy is governed prin-
cipally by the size Of the flock OF
breeders from which the eggs are to
be gathered, as well as the probable
future Of the industry on the farm. 1t
Is not good judgment TO buy ma
chine too small in the beginning. then
soon outgrow it; neither is il advis-
able 10 get large hatcher when the
owner has only a small flock.
For the average farm flock | would
recommend an incubator holding
about 240 eggs. In some instances,
however, one holding $50 to 400 eggs
may be used 10 good advantage if the
flock is large a good sized machine
enables the farmer to incubate all the
is decidedly in favor Of the busy farm
er or farmers wife who can attend 10
the large flock in the same time that
he or she usually consumes i'm looking
after one or two mother hens. In
addition the chicks hatch earlier and
mature earlier and more uniformly
The machine may then be used for
custom Matching for the less fortunate
neighbors the remainder of the sea-
son.
After many years experience in
handling various makes Of incubators
and Matching thousands Of eggs under
varying weather conditions. we find it
impossible To follow the instructions
of the manufactures exactly. This is
with special reference TO the periods
when the door of the incubator should
be opened and how long the chicks
should remain in the machine, either
in the egg trays or in the nursery
after the Matching begins. This is a
time when the operator must rely on
his own judgment. General instru-
tons applying particularly to the set
ting Of a machine in a cool room. with
only small or medium hatch in pros
pect, will not be applicable to a hatch
on hot May or June day.

SOW EARLY AND SOW EARLY
OATS

Hot, moist weather a, ,nv time the
oat crop Is filling and ripening greatly
reduces the yield and quality of
grain. The character OF weather pre-
yailing during the last half of June
and the first half OF July determines
in very large degree the character
OF the oat crop Especially is this
true in the southern portion Of the
corn belt.
1t is not possible To influence the
weather, but the time Of ripening of
the Dat crop can be controlled TO an
extent. The earlier the crop can be
harvested, the less is the likelihood OF
encountering hot weather when the
grain is filling, and there are two
methods by which the date of oat
harvest can be advanced.

Early seeding is important and
there is no danger of seeding too early
provided the seed-bed is properly pre-
pared. If the seed-bed is so prepared
that all OF the seed can be covered
70 the proper depth freeze will do
no damage. IL is the seed that is
scarcely covered and. therefore, comes
up quickly and is shallow rooted. that
is injured by a late freeze,
The second method consists in SOW
ing early or medium varieties. Espec-
tally have they been found best in
seasons that were more or less un-
favorable for oats. In this connec-
ton il is important 20 bear in mind
the fact that in the corn belt the
ma ority of seasons are not most
favorable for oats. Corn thrives best
when hot, humid weather prevails
throughout June and July. The most
favorable season for oats furnishes
cool, dry weather at that time. Since
the majority of seasons are not most
favorable for oats, it is the safer poll
cy to grow varieties which yield well
in favorable seasons, even though
other and late varieties may seem
slightly superior in an exceptionally
good oats year.
In cases where a large acreage of
oats is grown ii is an excellent plan to
use both an early and medium variety.
yield is increased and the grower is
enabled to harvest his entire crop at
the proper time.

T. Cogrove, President of the Michigan
Good Roads Association.

has not heen accomplished People
refuse TO do the packing which the
road builders should have done. and
the road is an abomination and curse
instead Of a blessing. Your tax money
is squandered.
You don't want deep side bitches
nor too prominent crown on the
road Just a little shoulder at the
sides made by the road machine or
road drag is safer for travel than a
deep ditch, and the deep ditch will
wash faster than the shallow shoulder
type will. BY all means, leave IL pos
sible 10 get "A moving machine after
the weeds.
Drainage Necessary
The curse Of the earth road is ex-
cessiye moisture. Where roads go
straight through all kinds Of condi-
tions i'm order to stay on section lines
this drainage problem is not easily
solved. The straight line idea Is one
of the few ideas that has not improved
our highways, especially in hilly and
swampy country. But we speak Of
that later.
In quite fiat country the side ditch
should be shallow on the upper side
and deeper on the lower so as to give
good fall to the culverts across the
road Otherwise the culverts fill with
mud and this holds back the water To
soak the road-bed. Better have sew
eral small culverts TO cross the road
than to carry the water along farther
and run ii through big culvert that
necessitates the raising OF the road
bed in order TO use il. IL does no
good to sink culvert below water
level in order to use a large size. 1t
only decrease the size by filling with
mud 10 the common level OF the ditch
bottom.
Where the grade is quite steep it is
more necessary TO cross the road with
frequent small culverts TO take the
wash water from the higher to the
lower side bitches TO prevent washing.
A large torrent washes rapidly once
the soil is broken. Several small cul-
verts can be bought as cheaply as one
large size but if that were not the
case the advantage Of several over
one is sufficient to warrant the cost.
Velocity of flow makes lots of diff
ference in amount of water carried.
A twenty-four inch culvert flowing en-
tirely full on a grade Of TWO inches To
a hundred feet carries water at rate
Of over three and half feet a second.
If you increase the grade to thirty-six
inches to a hundred feet, the flow is
increased to twenty feet "a second. In
the first case the culvert discharges
50S6 gallons of water a minute and in
the other case discharges 2S,26O gal
Ions. So by increasing the grade you
increase the capacity over five times
and pay for but one culvert instead of
! five.
The same holds true of all sizes. By
placing numerous small culverts across
"A steep grade, the water is taken from
the lower side bitches and away from
the road and this prevents torrents of
water from gathering on either side
OF the road-bed and destroying the
bitches or softening the road-bed.
If there is much grade in a culvert
the spillway should be paved with con-
crete or stones to prevent washing at
the end of the pipe
