| USING ASPHALT AS
FLOORS FOR SWINE
No Particular Advantage Over
Concrete Except Material Is
Somewhat More Elastic.

By F. W. IVES, Ohio State University
Asphalt would have no advantage
over concrete as q feeding floor for
hogs other than being more elastic,
1t is doubtful whether this advantage
would be worth the extra expense Of
the asphalt.
Asphalt requires a good concrete
foundation to be successful and must
be thoroughly rolled when placed.
Usually a base of four inches is re-
quired, and the asphalt is laid from
two to three inches thick over that
The base should be of 1885 concrete.
This would make fairly satisfactory
floor in itself.
If asphalt has any germicidal quail
ties, they would be very slight and
would be worth nothing in the course
Of two or three weeks use. 1t would
be sanitary in that it might be easily
cleaned. However, the same could be
said of concrete.

CONTROL OVER LOCAL ROADS
State Highway Departments Should
Be Given Some Measure of Super
vision over Thorouehfares

The realization has become quite
general that, in order to render maxi
mum service, state highway depart
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance of local roads. For this
class Of roads an amount exceeding
$160,000 900 is expended annually, with
comparatively little result to show in
the form of improved road mileage for
this great outlay. The state Of Iowa
has met this situation by placing all
the road work in the state under the
direction of the state highway de-
partment.
Traffic is increasing so rapidly as to
cause excessive wear upon the roads,
especially in the vicinity of congested
centers of population. This results in
a heavy annual maintenance cost, av-
eraging in the large eastern states not
less than $3.50 per mile per annum.
Many experiments have been made in
the effort to devise types Of road
which can be maintained at relatively
low cost. Thus far, aside from the
cheaper forms of construction, the
states are depending upon the vari-
GUS foYms of bituminous macadam,
concrete, and vitrified brick road

and maintaining breeding ewes.

and maintaining breeding ewes. Six
ty lambs dropped in March, 1915.
when weighed July 16 averaged 67.6
pounds per head. On the basis Of cur
rent market values on July 3, this lot
of lambs was worth $SS0.90. These go
lambs, were raised by 48 ewes. The
average cost per eve and her lambs
for feed and pasture from March 27 to
July 16 was $3.50. The same ewes were
fed for the entire period of pregnancy
GAG days. preceding the birth Of their
1914 lambs at an average cost of 76
cents per head. This gives the cost
of a eve and her lamb at 1928 for
255 days, during which time the lamb
is made ready for market. The value
of the ewes fleece would more than
Offset the cost of her pasturage during
the remaining 110 days from July 16
to November 3.
Another interesting and valuable
suggestion from this experiment is
found in the fact that 20 lambs raised
with their mothers upon forage crops
weighed eight pounds per head more
than those raised upon bluegrass pas
ture tgrain was fed in each case)
and were sold at higher price per
pound, bringing $1.55 per head more
than the bluegrass lambs. The diff
ference in cost of raising was slight
ly in favor of the forage lot, while the
eyes from that lot had market value,
when the lambs were weaned, of $3.50
per head more than those kept on
bluegrass.

During the last few years a great
many corn-belt farmers have estab-
lished herds of breeding cows to pro-
duce steers for market. Increased
market values have given promise of
profit in this line. The lessened vol
ume and added cost of western sup
plies are less serious than formerly
as a handicap upon the development
of a farm beef-raising industry.
The same changed economic condi-
tions that are bringing the center of
beef production farther east have equal
force in relation to the production of
mutton and lambs, although the re-
turn to production on farms has been
less general in the case of sheep than
with beef cattle. Continued good
prices for sheep and difficulties in Sc
curing farm labor, however, have
caused a marked revival of interest
in the marketing of lambs from east
ern farms. 1t is becoming more gen.
orally understood that the marketing
of lambs around IS per head at the
time they are ready to wean is a prac-
tical proposition. During nearly all
of lambs stay upon the farm its
mother harvests all the feed needed
for both, and during the rest Of the
year subsists largely upon feed which
she gathers herself and which would
otherwise not be utilized at all.
The Illinois experiment station has
recently published the results of ex-
periments conducted to show the most
economical methods of raising lambs

vine running through the town, into
which, seemingly, all the rubbish OF
the town was thrown.
A young schoolteacher devised a
plan by which this might be remedied.
Her pupils we're all requested to bring
all the nasturtium seeds they could
get, and when the rainy season com.
menced they went down into the
ravine and all up and down it's sides

DISEASE OF CALVES
DUE TO INFECTION
Diphtheria Is Always Serious
Matter, Especially When Af-
fecting Young Animals.
By H. NJ. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)

pertinent Station)
Calf diphtheria is due to a specific
infection, and is always a serious mat
ter, especially when affecting young
animals.
The trouble may appear with calves
from three to five days old. Such
calves refuse to drink milk or suck.
They show more or less discharge of
saliva from the mouth and infamed
patches inside of the mouth. These
patches gradually develop into ulcers
covered with a dead, granular, or
cheesy mass which does not peel cas-
lily from the raw surface underneath.
There is considerable rise of tempera-
ture and an offensive odor from the
mouth. The trouble may easily ex-
tend to neighboring parts, to the lin
ing membrane of the nose, and then
there appears a yellowish discharge.
In some cases the lining membrane
of the digestive tract is similarly af-
fected and then there is tendency to
diarrhea. Little pigs show similar
symptoms. Very young animals are
most easily and most seriously ar.
fected, but cases have been reported
in calves and pigs six to eight months
old, and even occasionally in adult
cattle and adult hogs.
The sores may be cleaned with two
per cent creolin in warm water, and
then treated with Lugol's solution, ap-
piled twice a day to the ulcers. Per.
manganate of potash may also be
used. two ounces to each gallon OF
water; make up fresh each time, as
the mixture cannot be kept from day
to day Either treatment should be
given to valuable animals about twice
day for from four to six days.
Frequent and thorough disinfection
Of calf pens and calf yards is one Of
the first essentials in management.

Builders page of the Sunday Herald

in addition to the things that should
not be done there are many little
things that should be done, some Of
which, seemingly unimportant, are in
reality very important. Following are
q few Of the DOS" combined with
"Don'ts:"
Don't treat the piazza as an archi.
tectural excrescence; make it real
out-of-door living room. 1t should com.
mand a good view, have a western
exposure and be so located as to af.
ford privacy and rest to those occupy
ing 1t.
Don't plan for other than wide open:
ings between the hall, living room and
dining room. These wide openings
give an air of spaciousness and gra-
cious hospitality.
Don't buy a building site without
first having the architect visit the
site with you. You may in this way
avail yourself of many valuable and
helpful hints.
Don't plan your house until you
have selected your building site. To
do so is about as difficult and will
result more disastrously than buying
a hat without first trying. it on.
Don't forget that a CHEEKY entrance
hall affords to the casual visitor agree.
able anticipatiops that a further &C
quaintance with the house will be
equally CHEEKY.
Don't fail to locate the kitchen
range out Of reach of cross drafts.
Much time and fuel are wasted, often
with disastrous results to the cook
ing, by not obtaining this condition.
Don't omit the shower from the
bathroom. You will be more than
repaid in health and comfort for the
extra outlay.
Don't fail to conceal, If possible, the
hot-water boiler in some convenient
closet in the kitchen. The boiler is
not a decorative feature, even with
much time expended in polishing Il
This time can be spent to better ad
vantage in numerous other ways. The
water keeps hot longer if the tank Is
concealed, which is an advantage eco

Kidney, Bladder and'UrIc Acid trou-

pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-

valued traditions while giving sane
ton to the established use of roads
that have been traversed century or
more, says Baltimore American. There
is a strong movement the country
over for the honoring Of the old roads
and trails. This is manifest in the
movement that contemplates a memo
rial highway to Abraham Lincoln. The
Old National Turnpike has clustering
about it traditions of history that
have been transformed into literary
lore under the magic pens Of essay
lists and poets. In the far West agt-
tation for the preservation Of the old
trails is gaining in strength, and the
Old Oregon, and the Old Whiskey and
other historic trails that date back to
times immemorial will doubtless be
preserved as far as possible and,
where obliterated by the path Of prog
ress, will be marked. Thus the trails
followed by the red men from Canada
even down to Central America will in
time be made matters of record and
reverence.
While sentimental and practical
considerations may not always be en-
braced in the conclusions Of the good
roads commission, yet these should
be and doubtless are considered to-
gether in so far as the commission has
enlightenment and understands the
sentiment of the communities af-
fected. But the main proposition is
that the people of Maryland are unit
for the continuance Of the good roads
movement. Baltimore has been great
ly advantaged by the construction OF
paved streets from the country line
over roads that enter the city. 1t
has deep interest in the prosecution
Of the good IOads work for the bene-
fit of the agricultural communities OF
the entire state. The traffic and trans
portation advantages are immense,
while the state is thereby elevated in
the view of the country at large. Let
the good roads work go on.
