POULTRY REQUIRE
SOME PROTECTION
Shade Is lust as Necessary Dur
ing Summer as Sunny Spots
Are in Winter Season.

Poultry requires protection from the
hot sun just as much as other stock
on the farm. Shade during the hot
days is just as necessary as sunny
spots are in cold weather. But all
places where the sun does not shine
are not fit for poultry. A damp, con-
fined atmosphere is worse than the
blazing sun. Roup, rheumatism and
other ills quite frequently result from
ranging in such localities. The close,
sitting air found in tight buildings, un-
der floors, or in stable lofts is scarce
ly any better. In such localities dis
ease may be contracted, vermin null
tiplied, and the profit side of the poul-
try ledger remains blank.
Poultry of all kinds delight in the
shade furnished by an open shed, so
arranged as to admit the air from all
points of the compass. The floor
should be of earth and should be
spaded occasionally. The fowls will
enjoy the dust bath and keep cool at
the same time.
A very frequent cause for hens not
laying in hot weather is lack of water.
At this time they should be provided
at least three times a day with fresh.
pure cold water.
Middletown transcript., 1915-09-25

stances that nourish plant and animal
life are made available.
Another important factor is good
shelter, protection from heat and
cold. 1t requires food to maintain heat
in the body, and the amount required
for this is much greater If the ami
mails do not have protection from the
cold. On some farms the amount oil
feed required to keep up heat is more
than the amount converted into
growth and fat.
Many of us fail to preserve our
feeding crops in a way to make them
palatable and digestible. II they are
not palatable they will not be eaten
and If they are not digestible they will
produce no good results.
Too much of the food finds it's way
into the manure without being eaten
on account of not being palatable,
and much that is eaten many times
fails to nourish on account of not be.
ing digestible.
Overripe hay that is damaged, over
ripe straw, corn fodder and stalks that
have become woody contain but a
small per cent Of nutritive value which
they would have possessed had they
been cut and cured at the proper time.
The silo offers a way by which we
can preserve our corn crop at a time
when it is of the greatest feeding
value and keep it without waste and
preserve it in the best, most palatabls
hnt
greatest possible amount of nourish
ment.
II you have silo, the stalks may be
improved by cutting and fed to the
stock after being sprinkled with water
and a little mill feed.
If preserved in good condition, the
cattle will consume about all of the
hay, straw and fodder with very little
waste, and SO yield us all the profit
there is in them.
1t seems the height of folly to grow
good crops and feed them out under
conditions that will not allow OF
profits.
No single crop will form a balanced
ration for any animal, when fed alone,
We need to make combining foods a
study If we would feed them to the
best advantage. We must remember
that we are keeping our farm stock un.
der more artificial conditions every
year and if we confne them to one
kind Of food, they cannot make the
best gains and keep in healthy condi.
ton. Unless they have the kind OF
food best suited to their needs their
development is slow and uncertain.
The soil stands ready to give large re
turns to intelligent farmers. Every
well bred animal on the farm, by the
very law Of its being, is ready and able
to assist in giving additional value to
all crops that are grown on the farm,
II we only surround them with the
right conditions. Successful feeding
depends entirely upon the man.

GOOD
ROADS
ROADS MUST BE MAINTAINED
No Phase Of Public Thoroughfare
Problem Of More Importance
Keep Surface Well Drained.

There is no phase of the road prob
lem more important than that of main.
tenance. The general impression that
there are certain types of roads that
are permanent is erroneous. No per.
manent road has ever been construct.
ed or ever will be. The only things
about road that may be considered
permanent are the grading, culverts
and bridges. Roads constructed by the
most skillful highway engineers will
soon be destroyed by the traffic, frost,
rain and wind, unless they are proper
ly maintained. But the life of these
roads may be prolonged by systematic
maintenance. A poor road will not
only be improved by proper mainte-
nance, but may become better in time
than a good road without 1t.
The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
surface well drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and q
smooth crown maintained. Except for
very stony soil, the road machine or
scraper may be used very effectively
for this work. The machine should
Re used once or twice a year, and the
work should be done when the soil is
damp, so that it will pack and bake
into hard crust. Wide and shallow
side bitches should be maintained,
with sufficient fall and capacity to
dispose of surface water. These
bitches can in most cases be con.
structed and repaired with a road ma.
chine.
All vegetable matter such as sods
and weeds should be kept out of the
road, as they make a spongy surface
which retains moisture. Clods are also
Objectionable, for they soon turn to
dust or mud, and for that reason
roads should never be worked when
dry or hard. Bowlders or loose stones
are equally Objectionable If a smooth
surface is to be secured.
A split-log drag or some similar de.
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and cross
sections have once been secured. This
drag can also be used to advantage on
a gravel road as we'll as on an earth
road. The principle involved in drag.
ging is that clays and most heavy soils
will puddle when wet and set very
hard when dry. The little attention
that the earth road needs must be
given promptly and at the proper time
If the best results are to be obtained.
In dragging roads only a small
amount of earth is moved, just enough
to fill the ruts and depressions with a
thin layer of plastic clay or earth
which packs very hard, so that the
next rain, instead of finding ruts, de.
pressions and clods in which to col.
lect, runs off, leaving the surface but
little affected.
The drag should be light and should
be drawn over the road at an angle of
about as degrees. The driver should
ride on the drag and should not drive
