MAKE The POULTRY
RANGES SANITARY

The range should be roomy. The eX-
act number of chicks that can he
placed on any range will depend large
ly upon the nature of the range itself,
writes w. c. Thompson in the Coun-
try Gentleman. There should never
be so many chicks as to keep the green
crops entirely eaten down. Oats may
be sown as n spring over crop, to be
followed by mixture of oats and field
peas, and then by soy beans.
The range should have shelter from
the sun during the summer days. If it
is not possible to have grove, or an
orchard, or corn, or sunflowers as q
part of the range, it is wise to build q
wooden shelter In some part of the
field. Shade keeps the birds comfort
able and growing continuously. 1t pre-
vents death by sunstrokes. The wa
ter fountains should be placed in shady
spots. If possible select poultry
range with running water on it.
Cleanliness is an absolutely essential
feature. Never bury dead carcasses on
the poultry range. In fact they should
never be buried, but always burned
Last summer the writer visited a num-
Der Of poultry farms on which there
had been many mysterious deaths

among the growing chicks on the
that dead carcasses had been unearth-
ed by the growing chicks, and the eat
ing of the partly decayed flesh had
caused a sort of ptomaine poisoning.
Puddles of stagnant water should new
er be allowed to accumulate In any
part Of the field Disease germs multi
ply in stagnant water and so infection
spreads. These pools may be destroyed
by ditch drainage IN most cases, though
sometimes 1t may pay to tile drain.
The colony houses should be located
on the higher ground Of the range.
Plow the poultry ranges in order to
keep fresh ground on top. This means
D succession Of green crops on the range,
and also prevents the surface from be-
coming packed and slow to drain
Chicks like to scratch In the loose,
fresh earth, and that is natures way
for keeping their bodies free from lice
and other vermin.
Making the ranges sanitary and clean
Is not spring job only. 1t is piece
of work that will need attention sew
eral times during the summer. Chicks
can grow continuously and thrive well
only when they are surrounded with
healthful conditions. Cleanliness re
moves the agencies that work against
their best development.

THE FUTURE OF THE FAIR.

There can be no doubt but that the
Addison County Fair has turned the
corner and is now on firm foundation
for permanent leadership in strictly
agricultural exhibitions in this region.
The wonderful improvement in our Fair
and growth in attendance seemed to
have reached a climax a few years ago
and the past two years were not so sue
cessful. Some of the Directors thought
that the limit had been reached in the
attractions Fair could offer and that
it was only natural that interest should
slightly diminish. This season has
proved to the contrary. Without any
political event to excite enthusiasm, or
even anything remarkably out of the
ordinary in the way of vaudeville, the
1915 Fair has attracted more. people
than would have been thought possible
only few years ago.
And the Fair pleased its patrons.
Everybody was happy and enthusiastic.
The exhibition was an enjoyable one in
every feature and the folks said so and
went home satisfied.
More important than pleasure or at
tendance, the Fair is coming to its true
place as an instrument of popular edu-
cation. There has always been chance
to learn, but the crowd has not always
seemed anxious for information. This
year more than ever before people were
out to see and to study carefully, and it
is safe prophecy that Addison county
will see some better farming as the re-
suit of the Fair of 1915, and with better
farming we shall have a better and
larger Fair in 1916.

CONCRETE ROADS DURABLE,
Wayne County, Mich, Replaces Macad.

Cost of maintaining all the highways
In Wayne county, Mich, outside of the
city of Detroit, was reduced to $685.
1893 last year. representing a saving of
81, 14O over the previous year, accord
ing to the eighth annual report of the
hoard of county commissioners. This
reduction Is credited to the replace
ment of certain macadam roads with
cement concrete pavement
Ample justification for the adoption
Of the concrete road as the standard
type of construction is found by the
commissioners In the fact that there
are over 100 miles of concrete road in
Wayne county, some of it in its sixth
year of service, without the semblance
Of rut and without a single twenty
five foot section having been taken up
and replaced since the county has been
building and developing this type of
road. 1t is comparatively low in first
cost; it is free from dust; it furnishes
good traction for all types of vehicles;
1t is not slippery; it is durable; it does
not require excessive yearly mainte-
nance charges; it is disable 365 days In
the year irrespective of weather.
AS a result Of the success of the
Wayne county roads the city of Detroit
built or let contracts for 1879, 107 square
yards OF concrete streets previous to
1913 and laid eight similar streets in
that year aggregating 1902 square
yards Wyandotte. Mich; Oakland
county, adjoining Wayne, and Windsor
and Walkerville, Ontario, have all built
or contracted for a considerable yard
age Of concrete streets and roads. 1t
is estimated that $4,000, 900 worth Of
the type OF construction will be built
this year In this country and Canada.

Fowls For Laying.

To be uniformly successful in egg
production one should consistently try
10 build up his flock. This can be done
by selecting only the best females from
the entire flock, by mating them to
good vigorous males, and by using this
special mating as breeding pen from
which all eggs for Matching should be
saved. In this way one will get con-
tinuous improvement that could not be
assured If the entire flock were used 70

Minorcas belong to the Spanish
section OF the Mediterranean class,
though, as a matter of fact, they
are. in their modern form, largely
the result of English breeding. MI
norcas are of two colors, black and
white, single combed and rose comb
ed subvarieties of each. They were
long called Red Faced Spanish.
English fanciers who breed for
shows developed the comb to such
an extent that it became an imped-
iment. The American standard
calls for a bird larger than the
Leghorn. showing more straight
lines and angles, more docile, less
rugged birds and less able because
Of their excessively large combs to
