"going light" seem to be more preva-
lent in pigeons than in the domestic
fowl. Canker appears as sores or
cheesy patches in the mouth and
throat and can usually be prevented
by providing good sanitary conditions
and feeding only clean, sound grains
and clean water. 1t may be treated
by swabbing the mouth and throat
with undiluted creolin or with solu-
tion of equal parts of hydrogen per-
oxide and water or by using dry sui
phur. Enough potassium permangan-
ate may be added to the drinking wa
ter to give it wine color. Various
remedies or preventives OF disease
are used in the drinking water by
pigeon breeders whenever the stock
appears to be in poor condition.
Among these are carbolic acid, epson
salts, copper sulphate, and venetian
red. Ulcers sometimes appear on the
head, around the bill, eyes, mouth, or
in the throat, and pigeons thus affected
should usually be killed.

The pens and yards where pigeons
are confined must be kept clean.
There is very little chance of making
money from squads unless the pigeons
can be kept comparatively free from
diseases and insect parasites. If
healthy breeding stock is secured, the
houses and yards kept clean, and care
full attention given to the birds, dis
eases and parasites should not be a
material factor in squad raising.
(Only good, sound grain should be
fed.
The following advice as to keeping
pigeons we'll and curing their diseases
is taken from Farmers Bulletin No.
6S4, SQUAD Raising" The stock
should be carefully watched and any
sick birds removed from the breeding
pens. The house should be kept dry,
clean, well ventilated and free from
drafts. The yards should be kept
clean either by scraping the surface
and adding fresh sand or gravel or by
cultivating the land and planting it
to grain if possible.
The nests, nest boxes, and pens
should be kept clean, but it is not ad-
visable to disturb the nests which con-
tain eggs or squads any more than is
actually necessary. The pens should
be sprayed frequently with whitewash
containing little crude carbolic acid,
or with coal-tar disinfectant, and the
nest boxes and perches should be ex-
amined for mites, especially in hot
weather, and sprayed with kerosene
oil or some commercial preparation
which will kill mites. The nests or
nest pans should be cleaned out and
the nesting material removed after
the squads are marketed or leave the
nests.

COST OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Much Depends on Amount and Char
aeter of Grading Necessary-Oth-
er Factors Considered.

Prepared by the United states Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The cost OF a road is dependent up
on not only the type OF construction,
but the amount and character Of grad
ing TO be done, the cost OF labor and
materials, the width and thickness Of
surfacing, the character and amount
OF drainage required, and other fac
tors of equal variability. Based upon
general averages, it has been ascer-
tanned by highway specialists of the
United States department OF agricuh
ture that under average conditions mac.
adam roads can be built in southern
states at from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile, gravel roads at from $1,000 to
81, 500 per mile, and sand-clay and top
soil roads at from $500 to $1,000 per
mile. In New England and the other
eastern states, macadam roads are re-
ported at from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile, gravel roads at from $1,000 to
$4,000, and bituminous macadam from
$4,000 to $4,000, according to the
character of construction, whether sur
face,treated, penetration, or mixing
method. The bituminOus type is
quite general in the eastern states.
As indicating costs in other sections
of country, tho state highway commits

WHY cows GIVE MORE MILK
Breeds Improve the Things for Which
They Are Selected-Noted Increase
Made in Germany.

A contributor to Farm and Fireside
explains why cows give more milk
than they used to:
Cattle used to be bred chiefly for
work. Therefore the cows did not
give much milk. Breeds improve the
thing for which they are selected.
"In 1890 the work cows Of Germany
gave an average Of pint and half
a day. Interest in milk increased, and
by 1900 the average yield was quart
and a half. Breeding went on mix
ward, and in 1910 the German cows
averaged two quarts of milk each per
day. In 1920 three, in 1890 four-and
there the gain stopped for 30 years,
But In 1860 the production had in
creased to six quarts and by 1870 to
eight"

Professor Haverfeld is uncertain

culiar to pigeons and is difficult to
cure 1t may be brought about by
feeding filthy or unSound grains, by
filthy conditions, and by any factor
which tends to destroy the vitality of
the pigeons. The symptoms Of this
condition are a gradual loss of flesh
frequently accompanied by diarrhea.
The practical method of treatment is
to remove the cause. Pigeons in this
or in any other diseased condition will
often get well if allowed their free
dom. Tonics are used by some pigeon
breeders, especially during the molting
season, but their constant use is not
generally advised under normal condi-
tions.
Dead squads may be due to va
riety of reasons. The cause of the
mortality must be found and remoy cd
if profitable results are to be Sc
cured. Some of the possible causes
are extra males or minated pigeons
in the breeding pens, rats or mice in
the house, and lack of vitality in the
breeding stock, caused by the use of
improper or the lack of sufficient feed,
filthy conditions, or careless inbreed-
ing.
