POULTRY
FASE1S
GOOD RATION FOR FATTENlNG
Improvement In Quality Of Fowls May
&c Had by Using Little Time
Confne In Pen.

Just a little time spent in fattening
birds will greatly improve their quail
ity. The following ration has been
recommended by the poultry husband
man of the Nebraska college of ag-
riculture as being most economical
for that state, and giving satisfactory
results in fattening chickens: Sixty
per cent cornmeal, 40 per cent low
grade -four, 20 per cent wheat mid
dlings. Mix and skim milk to the
consistency of a batter, and feed
morning and night. Starve the birds
for twelve hours previous to their
first feeding. This viii sharpen their
appetites. Fatten for two weeks in
a small pen or crate, until ready for
killing. This will deprive the fowls of
exercise, and the muscles will become
soft Fatty tissue will be taken on
between the muscle fibers, which will
greatly aid in the cooking process.
Don't kill the bird when the crop is
full Starve for "a hours and provide
all the water they will drink. II the
chicken is to be roasted, remove the
crop either with the viscera or by
making an incision next to the spinal
column, where it will not show when
the bird is severed. The cords or ten
dons of the thigh may be easily re-
moved by partly severing the shank
at the hook Joint. Then, after locat-
ing the cords by making a lengthwise
incision in the scaly portion of the
leg. fasten the leg securely and pub
steadily until the cords tear loose.

cHIcAGo-MIAMI MOTOR ROAD
Details Of Work In Various Localities
Progress Made In Construction
Is Remarkable.

That the Dixie highway is a road
that has appealed to the people both
North and South Of the Mason and
Dixon line is evidenced by a report
from the Offices of the Dixie highway
association, located at Chattanooga,
to the effect that fifty counties alone
have spent more than s1,765,2OO on the
Chicago-Miami motor thoroughfare in
the last six months and are preparing
to spend s6,931 900 during the coming
year, writes J. c. Burton in Chicago
Daily News.
AS the fifty counties reporting 10
the association represent less than
third of the total counties that are
crossed by the road that H. North
and South, 1t would not be unreason-
able to estimate that approximately
$5,300,000 has been expended on the
Dixie highway to date and that $780,
$4,000 will be used to put the thor
oughfare in shape in 1916.
When 1t is considered that the
Dixie highway was routed only eight
construction is remarkable. The large
mileage of permanent roads built or
under contract is an indication of the
wonderful advancement made in such
a short time. The fifty counties re-
ferred to report that nearly one-tenth
of the distance either is paved or will
be paved before another year rolls
around. Using only a multiple of two
to represent the other 112 counties,
it can be seen that a good part of the
road is or will be of a permanent tyIn
of construction.
The preparations being made for
even greater progress along this line
are highly gratifying to the officials of
the Dixie highway association. Sew
eral divisions OF the thoroughfare are
planning paved roads for their entire
stretch, the most notable Of these be-
ing the links from Chicago to Danville,
ILL.,, from Toledo to Cincinnati, o.;
from Jacksonville to Miami, Fla, and
from Tallahassee to Barlow, Fla.
The reports by states show that in
seven out of the eighteen counties of
Kentucky there has been expended
$4,000. In Ohio, eight counties out
of twelve and exclusive of Hamilton
county, of which Cincinnati is the
county seat, have spent $338,000. Five
counties out of twenty-five in Florida
spent s601,000 on the Dixie highway

The agricultural department of the
University of Illinois has published an.
other report dealing with the soils Of
this state and the fertilizers which
they need. This new investigation
like the last, shows that Illinois farm.

the exception OF swamp lands our soils
have all the potassium salts they need,
and the addition Of more is a stimu.
liant rather than food
What Illinois land usually does lack
is phosphorus. and the United States
has a plentiful supply of phosphate
rock. This is good news to farmers
who had been taught that the lack Of
German potash would cut down their
crops. 1t tends likewise to stimulate
an American industry which was b0-
ing hidden behind clever foreign ad-
vertising. By the time this war 10
over, America will know how much
potash fertilizer it really needs. and
what the stuff is worth on the SOIL

THE WAR THE DIVIDING LINE.
Literature Must Regard August !
1914, as End of an Era

When this weary old world got to the

stuff he had been reading. He found
i: SO.
The real dividing line between the
two eras is not the century mark, but
August l, 1914. If any book written
after this date is the same as though it
had been written before, we may safely
say that it has little relation to actual
life. 1t is not merely in trivial exter-
nalities such as the use of Petrograd
instead of St. Petersburg. but an indefi-
nable though easily detachable altera-
ton of spirit. In more than one novel
published last year it is possible to tell
just how far the author had gotten
when he opened the morning paper and
saw that war was declared
