When ThenlistocIes was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
town a great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
'fddIers," but they cannot make q
small town 9 great city We are over
run with orators who can Play upon
the passions OF the people, but they
cant put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest.
glory CT g statesman is to construct:
and that it is better fer a man that he
should build public highway than
ihat he should become Governor OF g;

that he become the author Of a law

THE LAYMAW'S DUTY

. There never was a time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unhOly alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud Since the beginning of gov
ernment, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes Of
politics and make them carry banners
in political professions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top Of power and offered to make them
monarch CT all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said, Get
thee he.lind me Satan" a few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.

CHICKENS RESPOND TO CARE
Veteran PouItryman Says Try to Meet
Same Conditions In Winter That
Obtain During Summer.

Most poultrymen are familiar with
the rule of one of the veterans Of the
business who, when asked how to
handle fowls during the winter, re-
piled: TRY and meet the same con-
dtions that obtain during the summer
when they are on the range In
other words, provide grain and green
food, animal food, grit and lime ma
terial with plenty of clean water, as
much sun az possible, clean, dry
house free from drafts. The freedom
OF the range cannot be supplied. but
the scratching shed will help nightly
In that direction.
Be particularly careful that the
houses are dry and that the tempera-
ture is comfortable. If the weather
threatens to be unusually cold pre-
pare for 1t with added protection In
the way of covering windows and CIV
ing protection by curtains when the
fowls are on the roost. fowls 10
not need warm house, that is, a
house artificially heated, but 1t Is
necessary that the temperature be
kept as nearly normal as possible else
the egg supply will be shut off by a
sudden change in the weather Care
in these respects will do much more
than is generally realized toward Keep
Ing up the egg supply throughout the
winter more or less regardless OF
weather conditions.

CARING FOR PLANTED TREES
Large Amount of Foliage Requires
More Food Material Than Broken
Root System Can Supply.

When the trees are taken from the
nursery row, large part of the root
system is left in the ground; the equi-
librium between the roots and the top
of the tree is thus disturbed, and it is
obvious that a part of the top should
also be removed Should the top be
left unpruned, Transportation will take
place too rapidly. The large amount
Of foliage requires more water and
food material than the short root sys-
TEN can supply.
Trees which have not been cut back
will often start growing too vigorously
only to die when the food and water
which is stored in the plant, or which
is easily available, is exhausted All
branches and torn roots should be cut
back to healthy tissue, leaving smooth
cuts that will readily heal Long,
straggly roots should be shortened,
and any masses or tangled roots
should be shortened and thinned.-Ne-
braska Station.

pieces of 2 by 6 resting on the drop.
ping boards. The length Of the three
roosts will be determined by the num-
Der of fowls, allowing feet for twelve
hens.
The roosting chamber must be made
larger or smaller, according to the
number Of fowls kept, by a movable
partition of light framework. covered
with cloth or building paper. A cur.
tain Of muslin, or burlap, or some
other material, is hung in front of
the roosts, to prevent drafts and con-
serve the natural heat Of the flock.
By the use of the partition and our.
tain, the comfort of the flock may be
maintained In all kinds of weather.
Ample nest room should be pro-
vided, for supplying which cracker
boxes may be divided and placed on
supports beneath the dropping boards.
Eight nests are sufficient for rs hens.
A dust box should be placed In front
of window, and kept filled with sift.
ed hard-coal ashes.
There should be hopper for dry
mash on the wall; also one for grit,
shells and charcoal.
A water table should also be pro-
vided, so that the water may not be
easily tipped over, or filled with lit
ter when the hens are scratching.
The floor, of whatever kind, should be
covered with litter to the depth of six
inches; and this should be renewed
as often as it becomes foul or damp.
The grain feed should Re scattered in
the litter, to induce exercise.
1t is conceded that the muslin front
gives the best ventilation. Too much
glass will cause the house to be too
warm when the sun shines, and too
cold at other times. At least one
half of the open surface should be COW
cred with muslin, burlap or some other
cloth material In a house with gable

ventilation. Hens will lay we'll IL any

RAISING CHICKENS IN FALL
Fowls Are Usually Lacking In Vigor
During and Following Period OF
Excessively Hot Weather.

Layers and breeders, as we'll as
male birds, are usually lacking in
vigor during and Immediately follow
ing long periods Of excessively hot
weather, and after periods of continu-
Gus heavy laying or intensive use in
the breeding pen. This may account
for the failure of 80 many birds to
begin laying early in the winter and
continuing throughout the period of
highest prices. 1t viii form one OF the
reasons why chicken raising cannot
be practiced so successfully In the fall
Of the year aside from the fact that
the colder weather would prevent the
development of the young chicks. 1t
will be evident that where winter eggs
are desired the flock must be brought
along In good condition previous to
and Immediately following the mott.
ing season.
Some of the characteristics by
which the vitality of the individual
bird may be judged are the color OF
the comb, the brightness of the eyes,
the strength of the beak, the shape
and width of the head, the breadth of
the back, the depth of the body, the
color of the shanks and skin, and the
activity of the individual.

SPREADING OF HOG CHOLERA
important That Owners Of Healthy
Animals Keep Away From Farms
Where Disease Exists.

Doctor Koen, the United States gov
eminent inspector in charge of the hog
cholera in Dallas county, Iowa, re-
ports that 29.6 per cent of all cases of
hog cholera were caused by the germs
being carried from one farm to an
other by farmers exchanging work or
visiting each other. 1t is important,
therefore, that owners of healthy
hogs keep strictly away from farms
where the disease exists and should
keep other people away from his own
hog lots and pastures.
By using disinfectant freely on
horses and wagons which have been
IN the neighborhood Of the disease and
by requiring everyone who comes on
the falm or goes near the hog lot to
disinfect his feet, the spread of the
disease can be very greatly reduced.

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Great Danger In Allowing Hoofs OF
Young Animal to Grow Too Long
Avoid Trouble Later.

It has often been said that
horses feet are the most important
parts of its body; and anybody who
has had experience with lameness ana
inability of horses to do reasonable
amount of work because of lameness
of one kind OF another, will readily
acknowledge the Importance OF prop
erly caring for the feet OF the equine
stock on the farm
Proper care of the horses feet
means that attention must be given
when he is colt. In fact, II the
horseman or farmer carelessly allows
tie colts hoofs to grow long and I'M
even, there is great deal more dan
ger of injuring the feet or deforming
them than If the same carelessness is
practiced with mature animals. The
bones. ligaments and tendons of the
colts feet are not SO hard nor SO
strong as those of the mature horse,
and the result Is that improper stand
ing, induced by poorly shaped hoofs,
throws the bones and ligaments out
of their natural positions. Again, 1t
may be a case of where the colts legs
are crooked at birth, and in such in
stances care and attention to trim.
ming the hoofs may be Of consider
able help in Strengthening the legs.
In handling the colts feet it is best
to begin with the front ones. Teach
the colt to rest his weight on the OPP.
poste foot, rather than the one which
is being held, by showing 1t enough
to throw the balance over on the op'
poste foot at the same time the other
foot is picked up. The proper learn
ing of this lesson will often save con
siderable trouble later when the colt
must be shod..
After the colts feet have been
picked up in this manner a few times
its hoofs can be trimmed with but
very little trouble. Give this matter
attention and often the colt will come
out with a good set of legs, when 1t
otherwise would be greatly hampered
at work or on the market by crooked
and weak "und er-pinning.

BUILDING MORE GOOD ROADS
America Now Has 5000 Miles More of
Improved Highways Than France
Total Now $1,000 Miles.

According to the Good Roads Year
Book of the American Highways asso-
citation, recently issued, America now
has 5000 miles more Of good roads
than France, the total for this country
now amounting to $1,000 miles.
OF this 5000 miles were built in 1912
and about 5000 in 1914, making total
of over one-third of the entire mileage
of the good roads of the country.
New Jersey was the pioneer state to
provide state aid for public highways
In 1891, and Massachusetts and Con-
necticut soon followed, but 1t is only
during the last ten years that the state
aid policy has been in effect to any
considerable extent.
