sociation)
European wars don't worry our
roads. Get busy and do your part in
hfting Michigan out of the mud
We lead the world in everything else
why not in good roads?
Don't put "A gauge on your enthus-
iasm for good roads There are no
meter rates.
Road improvement is for your own
personal benefit and profit.
If you are a progressive citizen, you
are interested in good roads because
you cannot progress as long as your
state and nation remain in the mud.
DO you realize that bad roads are
costing you enough each year TO make
those roads permanently good?
Ninety per cent of travel is between
cities.
Congress must set a definite plan for
a national solution of the road prob
lem under federal auspices, and con-
gress cannot postpone action much
longer.
The adent Of the automobile has
done much 10 improve road conditions,
and not only make road enthusiasts
out OF knockers, but has acquainted
the city folk with the conditions and
the surroundings of rural folk.
Don't work relative TO what becomes
of the So. The Michigan Good Roads
association does not expect to spend
any part of it on you. There are many
sections of the state that needs the
education which can only be given by
a state organization. Put your shout
der to the wheel and help. Don't lag
behind, waiting for the other fellow
to start; the other fellow might die.
The Improvement of raw highways
is always followed by the Improvement
of all things which mean better road
conditions. We must have cheaper
transportation over our roads. The
movement of either 1912 or 1918 crops
cost the agricultural interests of the
United States $1S7,O00,000 more than
it ought TO-
The building Of roads should be a
business undertaking and not for fur

POULTRY
CONSULTING DEPARTMENT
Keeping the Runs i'm Grass

Usually where the fowls are kept
confined closely in a small yard they
will tramp down and spoil every blade
of growing stuff. A plan that is often
practiced in order TO avoid this con-
dition is TO fence off one end of the
yard and keep that in grass or some
growing stuff and then let the fowls
in il. every evening for a short time
Then drive them back i'm the other
part OF the yard as soon as they have
eaten what they want and before they
have had time TO tramp il down and
dig IL up. Just keep that part of the
yard for supplying green food and not
for running in any longer than few
minutes each day or evening. In this
way they will have a supply of green
food all the time. Rape is a very good
plant TO grow i'm the poultry yard; but
ii must be fenced off from the rest of
the yard to protect the plant until il
has reached the height of foot. An
other plan that gives good satisfaction
TO many is TO have two yards. one of
which is used for the fowls while the
other is producing some green stuff
In this way the soil i'm the yard will be
kept sweet and pure.

How We Won Out
We Saw The Prize
And Grabbed 1t

Everybody in town knows that we
are first in getting the best Of
everything, Last week we received
letter from Professor Munyon
showing US a plan whereby he could
rush his Homeopathic Remedies dir
ect from his laboratory into our
store without losing any cf their
curative properties. We saw the inn
portance of this offer and immediate
ly sent in our order for a full line
of his remedies.
We want to say that we received
letter from Professor Munyon stat
ing that if anyone bought the rem
edies and they were not perfectly sat
isfied with the results, that we were
to return the money. He says, 81
want you to specially push the rheu-
matism remedy in order that peo-
pie may know. Find the hardest
cases in town, those that doctors
have failed to cure, and get them to
buy a 25c bottle, and if it doesn't re-
lieve stiff and sore joints, pain in
the back, side, or in any part of the
body before one bottle has been used,
give the people back their money"
This certainly must inspire confidence
as everybody knows that Munyon's
Homeopathic Remedies are absolutely
harmless and millions of bottles are
sold every year.
He also sent us a few hundred
packages of his Paw Paw Laxative
Pills and wants us to give them
away absolutely free. He says these
pills are the best stomach and liver
regulator that the world has ever
known. They don't scour, they don't
grippe. They school the bowels to act
naturally and take out of the system
all the poisons and matter that ir-
ritate the nerves and causes bilious
ness, headache and general debility.

High-Testing Cream

me average fat content OF cream
delivered TO many creameries is an
proXimately % per cent. This means
that, in some instances, the test IS
above and in others below this aver
age. II is evident that many cream
cry managers, as well as many farm
ers, do not understand the loss invol-
we'd in handling thin cream.
Cream testing 80 to 35 per cent is
the most satisfactory to the farmer
and 10 the creamery man. A COMPARE
son OF low-testing with high-testing
cream reveals, for the high-testing
cream these advantages:
ta) To the creamery man
I'd Less bulk to handle, hence less
labor, fewer churnings, smaller equip
ment and building.
CD Less buttermilk, hence less loss
of fat in buttermilk.
(3) Less cost 10 pasteurize, about
one-half as much steam being requir-
ed per loo pounds of fat in "a per
cent cream as in IT per cent; two
thirds as much in SO per cent as in 22
per cent cream. In cooling the cream
less water or brine is required for the
handling of the same amount OF fat
when the cream is rich than when il
is thin
(4) In pasteurizing sour cream, the
formation of large curd particles, with
the attendant loss OF butter fat, is
avoided TO a great extent if the cream
contains more than 80 per cent fat.
OBJ To the farmer:
Cd Less bulk to handle, hence few
er cans and smaller cooling tank re-
CURED. Fifty pounds OF 81 per cent
cream and 100 pounds of II per cent
cream both contain the same number
of pounds of fat.
GU Less bulk TO cool, hence less ice
or cold water required; quicker cool
ing, hence less deterioration Cream
spoils in a short time if not cooled
quickly and held at a tmperature be-
low SO degrees +.
go Less bluk TO haul to creamery,
ca Better keeping qualities OF the
cream. 1t is not the fat but the other
solids in the cream which become sour
and spoil. AS thin cream contains
more of these solids, it sours sooner.
than thick cream
CD More skinned milk kept on the
farm. The farmer who delivers 100
pounds of fat i'm "a per cent cream de-
lvers 294 pounds Of skinned milk
more than if he delivered "a per cent
cream. Unless the buttermilk is re-
turned free this is dead loss to him.

What Is \ Weed?

. In Farmers Bulletin No. 600 recently
issued from the Department of Agri-
culture a new definition for weed is
suggested. The author of this bulle-
tin in discussing a definition of a weed,
says; "A weed has been defined as a
plant out of place. This definition is
not entirely satisfactory, for two rea-
sons: % Because a plant may be
out of place and still not be a weed in
the popular sense, as rye growing in a
wheat field or Kentucky bluegrass in
an alfalfa field, and CD because a
plant may not be ont of place and still
be a weed in popular language as is
described in a subsequent section of
this bulletin on the good points about
weeds. In reality a weed is a wild
plant that has the habit of introducing
where not wanted"
The old definition by which a weed
was called out of place, while a very
catchy phrase. does not clearly repre-
sent usage. The hundreds of wild
plants which inhahit field which is
not planted to crops are in common
usage called weeds yet the vast ma
jority of these plants are decidedly in
place and are serving a useful purpose
through adding organic matter TO an
Impoverished soil. While ordinarily
all these benefits may be realized
through proper rotations, in the
absence of the practice of such
rotations these wild plants serve a
useful purpose, and are lin place" yet
usage which invariably determines a
definition DEGREES that they are weeds.
They are weeds through the fact that
they are wild and have the habit of
intruding where not wanted, even
though they may at some time serve
a useful purpose.

The symptoms given undoubtedly in
dictate that your chickens are affected
with the roup. The symptoms vary
considerably, some hens apparently
acting dumpish for a long time, while
others will retain their normal appe-
titles and appear healthy until a few
days before death, The condition Of
the bowels as described, the darken-
ing of the comb, the droopy condition
of the fowl and the exudations from
the eyes and beak are all indications
Of the roup. The rafting in the throat
is caused by the discharge from the
nostrils getting in the air passag es
and partly closing them.
This disease is one of the filth dis
eases and the primary cause is usually
damp and unsanitary surroundings or
contaminated food or water. One OF
the chief methods Of control is to thor
oughly clean out the poultry house,
burning all the litter and disinfecting
the houses with five per cent solu-
ton Of carbolic acid The drinking
water should have a disinfectant in il,
for which purpose potassium perman-
ganate is the best. This is a crystal
line substance which can ne bought
for from 20 TO 80 cents per pound at
drug stores. A saturated solution Of
this should be made by dissolving all
of it that water will dissolve. A good
way to do this is to use a large-mouth-
ed jar or bottle. putting a liberal
amount of crystals in the bottom and
then filling it with water. This should
be stirred occasionally and if all of
the crystals dissolve more should be
added. Always have in the crock
more crystals than the water will dis
solve. This is used as a stock solu-
ton, and one to two teaspoonfuls put
into 10 quarts of water is about the
right proportion for poultry use.
All dead birds should be burned or
buried deeply and affected birds
should be isolated at once. 1t is rare
ly advisable to endeavor to cure birds
as the results are seldom satisfactory.
The main thing in Kidding a flock of
this disease is TO have everything
clean, dry and sanitary.

Slow In Taking Advantage

The heavy SHOWS and excellent sled
ding serve TO emphasize what might
be accomplished if good roads pre-
vailed all over the country. Farmers
can take their bobs and put on twice
as heavy loads as is possible at other
times. 1t is not argued, OF course,
that with roads as smooth as a dance
hail floor the teams could pull on
wheeled vehicles the loads they do
now on hobs. But there is certain
loss due to bad roads that is made
all the more apparent by the ease
with which transportation is made
when the shedding is good, says South
Bend Tribune. And to think that for
all these years nature has been show
ing us the advantage Of good roads
and we have been so slow to take the
hint IL should make us ashamed of
our blindness and stupidity.
