rection Of building and maintaining

address here tonight to the voters of
Wetzel county. The court house was
crowded to hear the candidate, and
when he entered he was given one Of
the noisest ovations he has yet re-

In the course Of his address the
Judge said:
One of the problems OF the day
that | propose 10 work out for the
people of West Virginia as their Gov

more economical construction and
maintenance Of our highways. In
this day when the advance Of auto

good roads. BY work Of this char

only to humanity OF the present but
to that Of the future.
THE commercial aspect Of il. the
aiding of the great course of life
and industry In the state is Of high
importance, but not all that comes
from good roads. Our natural seen

those is Of wonderful Importance for
an increase Of the population and the
industry OF our state that makes for
better life and greater development.

Bulbs For indoors

College Park, Md, Oct. 19.-Varieties
of bulbs for growing indoors are
recommended by B. W. Anspon, of the
State College of Agriculture, Prof.
Anspon says, every garden lover
should have few of these bulbs in
bloom during the winter. These bulbs
are so easy to culture that with little
attention, everyone can have success.
Secure the bulbs now and plant them
in pots sufficiently large to accommo-
date them, They can be planted sing
ly or number in pot, depending upon
the size of the bulbs. Do not push the
bulb into the pot or soil, in so doing,
the soil is compacted under the bulb
and as the young roots form, they
have tendency, in such cases, to
force the bulb out of the pot. It is
best to partially fill the pot with soil
and then place the bulb on this and
fill In with more soil, Slightly Arm
the. soil oyer the bulb.
In hyacinths, the bulb should be
placed at least two inches from the
top of the pot Tulips can be shall.
lower. After the bulbs have been
potted, place them outdoors in a well
drained place; cover with few
inches of sand, after first watering the
bulb and seeing that all pots are well
moistened. Leave outdoors until the
root system is well gormed. This in
sures good flowers. 1t generally takes
from eight to 10 weeks for the bulb to
produce a good root system outdoors,
Bulbs can then be brought indoors,
gradually given more light and a high.
er temperature, Where one does not
care to place the bulbs outdoors, they
can be kept in cool cellar until
thoroughly rooted, when they can be
gradually brought into the light.
An easy method of growing Hye
cinths is to secure hyacinth glasses,
Fill the jar with water UP to the shaul
der and place the bulb in the jar. 1t is
well to add fresh water every 10 days;
placing a piece of charcoal in the
glass will tend to keep the water

KEEP YOUR POULTRY
FREE FROM DISEASE
Avoid Troubles Resulting From
Improper Housing and Feeding.
HAVE SICK BIRDS ISOLATED
Experiment Station PoultrYman Gives
Timely Suggestions For Pre-
venting Loss From
Disease.

College Park, Md, Oct. 19.-Witn
the coming of fall, most laying hens
will be kept in closer quarters as re-
suit of which the danger of the spread
of disease is much increased. In this
connection, Poultryman Roy H. Waite,
Of the Maryland Experiment Station,
says, "There are hundreds of diseases
and ailments that affect poultry, but
they can be divided into two general
classes.
First. Those caused by faulty man
agement, improper feeding, poor hous-
ing, neglect, etc.
Second. Those caused by an infec-
ton which is passed from bird to bird
or from flock to flock.
While it is interestingg to know the
name Of the disease, this is not SO es-
sential before treatment is begun. 1t
is hardly necessary even to know into
which two of the above classes the
disease falls, before treatment is be-
gun. General treatment is very much
the same for all disease. There is
some doubt about many of the specific
remedies recommended for disease
doing much more than ease the mind
of the poultry raisers. There are,
however, three things that should be
done in all cases.
A. Take the sick birds out of the
flock and put them by themselves.
B. Remove the source of infection
| (even if the disease is not infectious,
no harm will be done by following
these directions).
1. Destroy, by burying deeply or by
burning, all fowls that die of the dis
ease.
2. Prevent the birds from working
among or picking at the droppings
from the flock.
s. See that the feed is eaten from
clean place. If fed outdoors, change
the feeding place often. If fed inside,
it may be necessary to feed in troughs
or on boards which can be cleaned
readily.
4. If droppings from sick birds are
abnormal, go through the house and
yards often, collect such droppings
and destroy them.
/ 5. If practicable, spray the floor
and feed troughs occasionally, with
some good disinfectant.
c. Give careful attention to care
and feeding:
1. See that there are no red mites
under the roosts or in the cracks
about the house. If any are found,
they may be exterminated by applying
kerosene oil at frequent intervals.
1 2. Provide good wholesome feed.
8. See that the birds have plenty OF
fresh air to breathe.

Water For Cows.

All animals require plenty of good
pure water. This is especially true
of the milking COW, as water con-
stitutes more than three-fourths of
the volume of milk. The water
supply, therefore, demands the dairy
mans most careful attention. Stale
or impure water is distasteful to the
COW and she will not drink enough
for maximum milk production. Such
water may also carry disease germs
which might make the milk unsafe
for human consumption or be
dangerous to the COW herself. During
the winter when cows are stabbed the
greater part of the time, and unless
arrangements have been made to
keep water. before them all the time,
they should be watered two or three
times a day. If possible, the water
should be Is or 20 degrees above
the freezing point, and should be
supplied at practically the same
temperature every day. When water
well above freezing temperature Is
stored in tanks and piped direct to
the COW, there is probably little oc-
casion for facilities to warm it, but
when it stands in a tank on which
ice often forms, it usua'ly RAYS vol
to warm it slightly. This can y
done by tank heater. by live steam
or by hot water frru 5o1nr. If
