Navy Yard Vacations

The employees of the Washington
navy yard have reason to be thank
full to Senator Pittman, of Nevada,
for his skillful and successful fight
to obtain for them and the workmen
of all other yards, gun factories, ar
senals and naval stations full
months vacation with full pay.
Other civil employees of the gov
eminent have been receiving 80 days
leave with pay and there was every
reason why the mechanics and other
laboring men in the government
plants and factories should receive
equally fair treatment
1t is idle for the government or
it's representatives to talk about So
social justice to workmen in private
plants unless the Federal authorities
are willing to set an example.

ly by the arguments the government
has had to make to keep it's employ

Labor has it's false and it's rea

coming the technical and strategi
efforts to block his amendment 70

government yards and plants, ha
shown that he is one of the friend
of labor. Although there is no nav

IAN Act relating to election" APP
proved on the same day as the act
IN question, is, in the main. a mere
compilation Of prior existing election
laws. Section Of the general cleo
ton law provides: "A new registra-
tion of the electors Of this state shall
be made in the year of 1916 within
the dates hereinafter specified and
every two years thereafter" and is
precisely the same provision which
was contained in the Act of 1918,
except that the figures 1916 were
substituted In lieu of 1914. The
general law regulating registration
which has been in force in this state
for many years contemplated new
registration for the general election
every two years. BY no reasonable
construction could 1t be said that
the provisions of section IL of the
primary election law of 1916 and Is,
except as to material notifications,
precisely the same as section II of
| chapter of the act of 1915, p. $40.
and the same as section IL in the
primary election law of 1910, Rev
Laws, Sec. 1851. 1t is, therefore,
clear that the legislature of 1916
old not make any change in the
prior existing law in so far as regis
tration for primary elections is con
cerned. 1t Is well settled that cleo
ton laws are to be literally con.
strued to enable the largest partici

electors. Undoubtedly all elector.

EXPERIMENT IN GOOD ROADS
Road to Chevy Chase Text Beck in
Concrete, Brick and Stone"-Ex-
perts Are Interested.

There is here a text book in con-
crete, brick and stone-the road to
Chevy Chase built by the plans and
under the direction of the Office OF
public roads of the United States and
for the sole purpose of informing the
public and the members Of congress
interested in the improvement of the
public highways upon the methods and
cost Of construction, types of roads,
adaptability of material and economy
of maintenance.
Thousands of people travel over
this road, which is built in many see
tions of different types, every day, and
hundreds of practical road builders
from all parts of the country have in
spected it from time to time and have

ter, yet the cost of maintenance of
the brood SOW is practically the same
whether she brings two pigs or ten
pigs per litter, which means that the
farmers are losing large percentage
of profit by keeping such brood sows
in their herds
There are several reasons why
brood sows bring small filters, and l
firmly believe that the one which con
tributes to the trouble more than any
other is the practice of breeding sows
too young. 1t is no uncommon thing
to find sows weighing less than one
hundred pounds with pigs. Usually
you find them with only two pigs The
young sows which you intend to keep
for brood sows should never be bred
under nine months of age, and it is
much better to wait until they are
twelve or fourteen months old. Then
If they are not full developed, wait a
few months longer. Your brood sow
is good for six or eight years, and. if
by waiting a few months in the be-
ginning before starting her on her life
work, you can increase the size of her
filters, you have certainly made good
wages for those months. Another
thing which contributes to no slight
extent to cause small filters is the
lack Of exercise.

WEANLING PIGS GROW FAST
Greatest Gains for Feed Consumed
Are Made in Early Life-Lard
Hogs Becoming Unpopular.

The prevalent opinion seems to be
that swine were designed to eat up
the corn crop and grow into 300
pound porkers. Under certain cir
cumstances there is better profit in
selling weanlings than in feeding
them up to the usual market weights.
Exact trials at many experiment
stations show that the greatest gains
for feed consumed are made in early
life and that as the animals grow old
er 1t takes more feed to produce a
pound of pork.
The sucking pig grows very fast
and converts nearly all of its rations
into meat. If the SOW is fed literally
she, too, will make some gains while
supporting her brood The weanling
weighing 25 to 40 pounds is almost
clear gain and will often bring ten
cents pound at this age.
On the same principle the 150-pound
pig will make more profitable re-
turns on feed consumed than if left
until it weighs $50 pounds. There is
an increasing number of farmers who
prefer to sell light bacon hogs and
fewer who continue to feed lard
hogs" up to the extra fat classes that
were popular a score of years ago.

marveled at the excellence of the
work.
Manufacturers who have supplied
bituminous materials for the treat
ment of the road have detached their
special experts for this service and
! the traffic over the road has demon
strated under carefully observed con
ditions the relative value of the sew
eral types of road making up this great
highway.
The Chevy Chase road is expert
mental. 1t consists of different types
of bituminous macadam
laid by the penetration method, sur
face treatments of waterbound ma
cadam, asphaltic surfaces on concrete
foundations, bituminous surfaced con-
crete plain and oil cement concrete
and vitrified brick, all of which are
under daily observation by expert
road builders to ascertain which of the
types is best suited to the traffic and
which is condemned by practical test
under the same conditions of climate
soil, rainfall, heat and cold and like
traffic requirements. 1t would be just
the same to the office of public roads
which has written this open book in
concrete, brick and stone whether any
part of 1t or all parts of it should fail,
failure in materials used, in construc-
ton, in durability, in cost, in mainte-
nance-the test is the thing
Road building is a science now, and
efficiency is the only test of quality.
In the stones used in the coAstruc-
ton of the Chevy Chase road, their
specific gravity, their weight per cubic
foot, their water absorption, their per-
centage of wear, their hardness and
toughness are all determined by the
most careful scientific tests. Patrol
men are constantly employed on this
road to keep account of whatever de-
fects in materials and construction
may develop and exact data as to the
cost of maintenance.
The Chevy Chase road was fortu-
nately placed for the reason that all
of its sections of types have been sub
jected to precisely the same sort of
traffic year in and year out and the
section or type that has not stood the
strain has been as important an object
lesson to road builders as the section
or type that has maintained itself I'M
der like strain. The road, as a whole,
is a great experiment conducted by the
most competent engineers to demon
strate the most practical things.

during wet weather. On sandy roads
anything that will prevent the free
movement Of the sand particles will
be of value. AS long as the road is
damp, the surface tension of the capil-
larry water acts as binder and holds
the separate grains of sand in place.
All efforts should, therefore, be direct
ed toward preventing the sandy places
from drying out, or to adding some
binder. The addition Of clay furnishes
a positive binder and is really the best
and most permanent treatment. The
addition of any fbrous material such
as straw, spent tan bark, sage brush
or pine needles is of value and, when
spread on the road and covered with
a thin coat Of sand or allowed to work
into the surface, will make az almost
impossible sand read fairly coed for a
time. But the best way to treat a bad
place, whether ON a clay or sand
road, is to treat it before it gets bad.
Immediate attention to small injuries
will prevent later prolonged attention
and extensive repairs to serious dam
ages.

FIXING BAD SPOTS IN ROADS
Temporary Expedients for Making
Them Passable-Should Be En-
poyed Only in Emergencies.

| (FTom Weekly News Letter, United States
Department of Agriculture.)
Temporary repairs to roads are, or
at least should be, confined to emer-
gency measures. In proportion to the
results obtained, temporary work is al
ways expensive and is never justified
by ordinary conditions. Unusual con-
ditions, however often occur to plague
the road man. For example, the clos
ing Of a main highway to traffic be-
cause of construction, repair or wash
outs may suddenly throw heavy traf-
fic for a short time on a little-used and
probably unimproved byway. Clearly,
in such a case temporary expedients
are legitimate.
The most common troubles met with
in case of this kind are mudholes
and ruts if the soil is heavy, and dust
| and loose sand if the soil is light or
sandy.
On clay or gumbo road mudholes
usually cause the most trouble. As
water is absolutely necessary for the
! existence of a mudhole, any treatment,
whether temporary or permanent in
| character, must provide for getting rid
OF the water. The first step is, there
fore, to dig a trench to the side and
allow the water and mud to drain. II
necessary, open up also the side
bitches. Furthermore, remove all of
| the soft mud left in the mudhole The
| bottom Of the trench should be filled
with broken stone or coarse gravel so
| as to provide a drain to prevent any
| further accumulation Of water. Gravel
is the best material for filling the old
mudhole. If gravel is not available,
use the best earth at hand, tamping it
down in three or feur-inch layers. If
possible, spread little gravel or sand
over the new fill, which should be
made slightly higher than the adjoin-
ing road surface. The best treatment
Of all, however, is to keep the drain
age in good condition. Serious mud
holes will then rarely develop.
Don't try to fill a mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
it with large stones. because if this is
done there will soon be two mudholes
instead of one. Don't try to fill a mud
hole with sods or similar material
which absorb water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid Of dragging too often during g
rainy spell. If thin coat of sand OF
gravel be spread over the road sur
face when it has been softened by rail-
and then worked in by traffic and ;
liberal use of the drag, a poor eartl
road can be much improved and mad

for short time.

TELL SLEEPS AGE BY TEETH
When Purchasing an Animal One
Should See to 1t That None of
Molars Are Missing.

A lamb has eight small first-teeth
on the lower jaw. When the animal
reaches the age of about one year. the
middle pair are replaced by two per-
manent teeth. at the age of about
two the teeth on either side of these
permanent teeth are also replaced
with a permanent pair; at the age Of
three the next tooth on either side
gives way to a permanent tooth; and
at about the age of four, the last or
back teeth are replaced in like man
ner.
Briefly. then, a sheep with one
pair of permanent teeth is a yearling;
sheep with two pairs is a two-year
old; with three pairs, three-year
odl; and with four pairs, four-year
old.

Thorough Distinction Is Essential to

In any outbreak of infectious dis.

preventing the spread of the conta-
gion. Certain substances. such as
fresh slaked lime or unslaked lime in
powder form, chloride of lime. car.

power of destroying bacteria with
which they come in contact. To make

however, the work must be done with
the utmost thoroughness.
In the disinfection of stables and
premises the following directions
should be carefully observed:
l. Sweep ceilings, side walls. stall
partitions, floors, and other surfaces
until free from cobwebs and dust.
2. Remove all Accommodations of
filth by scraping, and if woodwork has
become decayed. porous, or absorbent
it should be removed, burned and re-
placed with new material
3. II the floor is of earth remove
inches from the surface, and in
places where it shows staining with
urine a sufficient depth should be re-
placed to expose fresh earth.
A. All refuse and material from sta
bic and barnyard should be removed
to a place not accessible to slaked
lime.
5. The entire interior OF the stable
especially the feeding troughs and
drains, should be saturated with dis
infectant, as a 3 per cent solution of
compound solution of cresoI u. S. p.
which would be four ounces of the
compound to every gallon of water.
The best method Of applying the dis
infectant is by means of a strong
spray pump. such as those used by
orchardsists.
This method Is efficient in disin-
lection against most OF the conta-
gious and infectious diseases of ami
mails. and should be applied immedf-
ately following any outbreak, and, as
a matter of precaution, it may be used
