proposes TO confer. He acts in day

MoToRTRUcK ROAD ARRIVED
First One on Record Being Constructed
Between Les Angeles and Har-
Dor OF San Pedro.

The motOrtruck road has arrived.
The first one on record is being con-
structed by Los Angeles, Cal. 1t is Is
miles long, and runs from Los Ange-
les to the harbor OF San Pedro. 1t is
a 40-foot width of waterproof macad-
am, covered with eight inches OF solid
concrete, and with an elastic bitumi-
nous carpet over the whole.
This roadbed is more durable than
those built merely for pleasure vehicles
or light motortrucks. In construction
and purpose it is a sort OF compromise
between the ordinary highway and the
railroad. 1t provides the kind Of road
needed for the heaviest sort Of haul
ing, and by segregating the slow, pom
Iderous truck traffic it benefits the
lighter traffic on other roads.
The innovation is sure to be widely
followed in time, where conditions are
similar. There may be truck roads es-
tablished in all pOpulous communities,
Then we may see steady streams of
great gas-driven trucks hauling freight
along the established routes, relieving
the pressure of traffic on common high
ways and suppIementing the work of
the railroads. 1t will be a valuable adj
dition to our transportation systems

USE INcUBAToRS FOR DUCKS
AS Pekin and Runner Rarely Show Dis,
position to Sit, Artificial
Means Are Used.

On commercial duck farms most Of
the Matching is done in incubators, for
the Pekin and Runner rarely sit. On
farms where no incubator is available,
the eggs are usually Matched under
hens. The period of incubation is a
week longer than that of hens eggs,
and, for this reason, the hen must be
well cared for. While ducks are easier
to brood artifcially than chickens, they
may also be raised successfully under
hens. In the latter case, it is better to
cOnfine the hens and to allow the duck
hngs free range. Birds that are in
tended for sale as green ducks, how
ever. are not usually allowed much
range, but are fed heavily and forced
for rapid growth. The breeders and
brooding systems used for chickens
give good results in rearing ducklings,
although the latter do not require as
high a temperature.

Proper action in the draft horse is
important, according to David Gray,
assistant in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Size
and power are of little value if the
horse has not enough agility to han
die his big weight in a manner yield
ing the greatest efficiency.
'tAction Of the draft horse should
be clean, bold, and rather stylish said
Mr.. Gray. ''In moving, the feet should
be carried forward and back in a
straight line, without padding, wing
ing, or other irreguiarity of gait. In
order to get the best and greatest
stride with the least energy it is alb
sOlutely necessary that the feet move
straight and smooth without defects
of gait.
''Knee action in the draft horse is
not of great Importance. A long stride
which covers considerable ground is
much more important than high knee
action, as ability to cover ground is
what is wanted.

TIMELY REMARKS ON
SPRAY PREPARATION
Power Pump Should Be Used If
Best Results Are Expected
High Pressure Needed.

The following timely remarks are
taken from a letter sent out to super
intendents of Ohio state institutions
by S. W. Moore, horticulturist of the
Ohio board of administration. s
''The power pump is the pump to
use if results are wanted. The argu-
ment used at some of the institutions
by those in charge of the work has
been that there is plenty of hand
power or labor power and it is eco
nomicaI to use it. This sounds well,
but if the practical orchardist were
consulted, he would say that the
hand pump, aside from the labor of
running it, is an expensive PROPOSE
ton, as it is almost impossible to
Iaaintain the pressure necessary eff
fectively and economically to cover
all parts of the tree or plant; and
when all parts are not covered, the
application Will count for little.
Success depends first upon the
material used. Second upon the ap-
plication, which means thoroughness.
The thorougbness that is necessary
can only be obtained with a heavy
pressure all the time; not $50 or 200
pounds for awhile, then 20 or 80
pounds. Such q pressure Will not
force the liquid into all the cracks
and crevices; and where some are
missed, scale and fungous diseases
viii be found lurking, ready again to
take possession Of the plant as
soon as weather conditions are favor
able.
IF anything is to be done along
this line. it is time the spray outfits
were ordered. Spray material should
be on the way soon, as the clean UP
OF dormant spray should be applied
before growth begins. This is true
Of either tree or vine"

KEEP DUCKS DRY IN WINTER
Fowls on Many Farms Receive Shabby
Treatment During Cold Weather
Give Them Dry Beds.

On many farms, ducks receive
shabby treatment through the winter.
Because they are a water fowl the
assumption seems to be that they can
stand any amount OF water. Big pans
in the duck runs are stopped over un-
til the litter is thoroughly wet; the
ducks cannot find a dry place to sleep
in, and when they go lame as a natur-
al consequence, their owners wonder
what disease has attacked them.
Ducks require dry bed. They can
stand a good deal of cold, and some
neglect as to food, but dryness at night
they must have if they are to thrive.
Another cause of lameness in ducks
is careless handling. Do not pick I'D
duck by the legs. Grasp it by the
neck if you would avoid lameness.
