HOW TO GET WINTER EGGS.

In order to obtain eggs it is neces-
sary TO have healthy, vigorous stock
properly fed. and good dry place for
them to stay in at night.
See that the fowls have plenty OF
green feed. Always sow patch of rye
for the chickens, or better still, have a
mixture of oats, rye, and clover sown
together.
Have place for the chickens to
scratch. Put the wheat, corn and oats
in straw and let them scratch for it,
This will give them plenty of exercise
and help to keep them warm.
Give one pint of grain feed to each
dozen birds twice day, and just be-
fore going to roost allow them to have
a hot mash made by cooking some veg
etables, such as turnips and cabbage,
and also using the table scraps, such
as cold bits OF meats, etc, and mixing
this with bran.
Have a comfortable house for the
fowls. The sides, top and back must
be tight. Have the door facing the
south. and see that the floor is dry at
all times. In order to have healthy
fowls the house should be cleaned out
as often as once week.

CAUSE oE COLDS.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 5.-An ep-
idemic of colds over the greater part
OF the State has caused the State Board
OF Health, through DR.. j. N. Hurry
its secretary, to issue short circular
on How Colds are Caught" 1t says
in part:
IAN colds and indeed all diseases of
the breathing organs are due largely to
air starvation. Overeating lessons re-
sistance for a brief period while the
abused stomach is trying TO digest the
overload of garbage, and this abuse OF
the body being followed by a second
abuse if not giving it enough air runs
resistance down so low that the cold
microbes. which are everywhere, get in
their work.
THE sure remedy against colds is to
eat moderately and breathe plenty OF
pure air OF course, the skin, kidneys
and bowels must act correctly, for II
they do not this, too, will reduce re-
sistance and let the microbes grow in
the nose and other air passages.
Every man is the architect of his
own colds. Bronchitis, pleurisy, pneu-
monia and tuberculosis are routes to
early death and they trail after colds

charging IL with collecting more toll
than the law permits The case was
tried few days later and the bridge
company was exonerated. The indiet-

usA LAWRENCE COUNTY, KENTUCKY, NOVEMBER TO- 1916
THE DIRT ROADS DESERVE
ATTENTION NOW.

Tho county that can afford to ma
cadamize only some OF the worst places
In its roads and some Of the main lines
OF traffic need not be discouraged about
its highways. After II has macada-
mized the roads where the demand is
greatest ii should have the other roads
laid out the best way to serve the peo-
Pile and TO get them on a good grade,
not over . per cent Adequate road
machinery should be bought and the
roads should be graded and rounded up
so the water viii run off of the roadbed
and into the cutters quickly Culverts
and bridges should be put in as rapid
~ as means will allow and of the best
material available
BY this system the roads can be made
good for about eight or nine months
OF the year In the South. Then II split
log road drags are constructed and pro-
visions are made to use them after
heavy rainfall and when freeze is go-
ing out Of the soil, these dirt roads can.
be kept good nearly all OF the year and
will come through the winter compar-
atiYely free from ruts, SO that as soon
as they dry Off in the spring they will
be smooth and in first class condition.
The spllt-log drag is giving satisfac-
tion out in Missouri, whore the soil is
as bad a road soil as the worst we have
in the South and is much inferior TO
the average road soil OF our section. It
will do the work for usit is doing 1t
in Some cases-if its use is learned, the
roads are given the proper shape with
graders, and then a plan is adopted
that will insure the roads being drag
ged each time when needed
Some one must be hired to 40 the
work and an official must see that the
work is satisfactorily done before 1t is
paid for It is just as well to pay out
some money for using the split-log drag
as II is to keep in repair the hard sur
faced roads and to pay an extra
amount Of interest ON the bonds voted
to build the expensive roads.

GROW POTATOES AND ONIONS.

The advice Of those In position to
Judge is for our farmers to grow more
Irish potatoes and onions next year
thun ever before. The earlier potatoes
are the most profitable for this section,
because they reach the markets FAR In
advance Of the potatoes from the north,
whore the greatest crops are raised.
The price is certain to be high on
early potatoes next year because the
crop Is SO short in the north this year
that practically mono win be carried
over into next season The farmers
in Kentucky and West Virginia VIII
find early potatoes prontable as d reg
ular crop
Onions are IN good demand every
year AT prices that pay excellent re-
turns on the investment. II Will pay
our farmers TO give more attention to
this crop.
Caro- should be used 10 select and
keep sufficient amount Of good seed
potatoes for next spring. as II viii be
difficult 10 procure them II the short
age is AZ had az reported.
