LOOKING AFTER GOOD ROADS
spIltIog Drag Can Be Employed to
Good Advantaee-Prompt, lntelIl-
gent Action Needed.

Every farmer should spend some
time looking after the roads. The
splitlog drag can be used to good ad-
vantage. Road dragging at the proper
time will insure good dirt roads the
greater part of the year All it needs
is prompt, intelligent action. 1t must,
however. be done at the right time
to get the best results.
Yes! 1t is true in many places that
the road dragging should be done by
the county. but every farmer should
take enough interest in the community
welfare to see that the road in front
of his farm is gone over with a split
log drag.
There is no other one thing that
would add to our advancement, both
commercial and social as much as
would good roads. Spend a few hours
at this season of the year, when the
frost is coming out of the ground and
the wet from rain and snow is drying
up, with a splitlog drag and it will
result in better roads, a good adver-
tisement for your farm and it's owner.

rIHIIDjII' HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
1,0OO-MILE ROAD PROPOSED
Canada to Build Route Similar to
Lincoln Highway-To Extend
From Winnipeg to Calgary.

Central-western Canada will have
federal highway much after the plan
of the Lincoln highway proposed
across the United States if the prof.
ect being urged by the board of con-
troll of Winnipeg is carried out. This
project contempIates the construction
of concrete highway from Winnipeg
to Calgary, to go through the more
thickly settled territory tappedeby the
Canadian Pacific railway.
The thousand miles Of highway
through the provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and halfway into Al
berta will be financed by the munich
palities by which the roadway would
be traversed. Special appropriations
also will be sought from the provincial
governments. The project has been
received with enthusiasm in number
Of the larger cities along the proposed
route
1t has been pointed out by the pro-
motors of the highway through the
prairie provinces that its construction
would enhance the value of the farm
lands for several miles on both sides
of the concrete roadway.

artifice, According to his biographer,
NJ. Gerard Harry, without the help
Of tobacco he seemed incapable of re-
ceiving inspiration or crystallizing it
in words. If he has not overcome the
need, he has outtlanked it. Smoking,
he noticed, had lost it's virtue as a
stimulant, and instead of rousing the
brain to activity, as at first, had come
to disturb its functions; so now, in
lieu Of ordinary tobacco, he fills his
bowl with a denicotinized preparation,
tasteless indeed, but harmless. His
pipe is still always alight when the

than a mere subterfuge intended to

WOULD NEED 294 SUBMARINES
Germans Would Require That Num-
Der to EffectualIy Blockade
All British Ports.

Assuming that the German subma-
rines are based at Zeebrugge, the time
required for the passage to and from
blockading stations off the ports or
Great Britain would be about four
days. The average time necessary for
overhauIing at the base between trips
may be estimated at six days, and the
time which may be spent at sea be-
tween visits to the base cannot well
exceed twenty days. Consequently 1t
would be impracticable to maintain
more than about half OF the total force
of submarines on blockading stations.
There are forty-nine ports on the
coasts of England, Scotland and
Wales which it would be necessary for
the German submarines to blockade II
all supplies are to be cut off.
An effective blockade of any port
could scarcely be maintained In the
face of defensive operations, which
must be expected, with less than three
submarines, and double that number
would be>none too many. If the min
imum number of three boats be al
lowed for each port, the Germans
would require at least 147 constantly
on station to close all the ports OF
Great Britain; that is, allowing for the
necessary passage time to and from
the base and the essential overhaul
ing period, the total force should be
294 ubmarines.-World's Work.

The state of New York is spending

PROPER CARE OF HEN YARDS
Fowl Should Have Abundant Supply
of Water-Feed Literally of All
Kinds of Green Stuff.

A hens body and hens egg is
composed to large extent of water,
therefore a hen should have album
dance of water, either in the clear
state or through green vegetable mat
ter. Have the vessels clean and give
freshly pumped we'll water twice a
day
When the hen pasture is eaten of
close remove them to fresh pasture.
Spread a thick coat Of fresh air
Stacked lime over the first pasture to
kill the bacteria that may be present
and to sweeten the soil. Lime is one
of the best and cheapest disinfectants
we can use. Oyster-shell lime at the
kiln may be had for five cents per
.busheI, and when airslacked one bush"
ell will make two bushels. Use lime
freely in the yards, and in the house
at least once a week. Have plenty
of crushed oyster shells and grit in the
feeding room.
Hens confined in small yards should
have part Of the yard spaded up at
least once q week and then lined.
Give an abundance of freshly cut
clover, cabbage leaves, lettuce and
grass, No refuse matter should be
allowed to remain in the yard, as it
is liable to produce disease among
the hens. Chickens should not be
kept in the same yard with hens.
Have Slated feeding coops. Feed the
chickens in the coops, so they can get
their full share of feed. These coops
can be quickly made Of laths-being
light they can easily be moved from
place to place-and will be found
great convenience, especially where
the hen has a brood of young chick
ems.
Chickens and grown fowls suffer
from the heat Shade of some kind
must be provided if there is no ma
tural shade. Make a low shed Of
poles and cover the poles with brush.
Grass range saves feed and is best for
the health. Hens pick up large part
of their living in the summer in the
fields.

USE CARE IN LAMB FEEDING
Change From Grass to Alfalfa, Corn

(By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Ex-

A small percentage Of loss in lambs
in the feed lots is to be expected, but
this loss in some instances is far great
er than it should be. When range
lambs are placed on fattening ration
the change of feed is so sudden that
dietetic disturbances cause a genera
disorder and several dead sheep are
found in the pens each morning. This
invariably leads to the suspicion that
they are dying of some infectious dis
ease.
In some cases the ration is not we'll

BEST SAFETY RECORD

A statement of interest has been
issued by the Short Line to all en-

Accident report of interstate COM

March, indicates that the railroads
of the United States with a mileage
OF over 100000 miles operated with a
total of only IS fatalities including

others) in train accidents (Where
train was in accident.) In these
three months the railroads handled
2O2 100000 passengers, who travelled
distance of 6,S71 100000 miles.
Statistics show this to be the best
safety record for any quarter since
the law requiring monthly accident

in IA years.
Official returns of the Interstate
