Obviously. it is unfair to attempt 10 place the blame for general dissemi- nation of stock diseases on the bug gard. Considering the inultitude of ways in which these diseases may be spread. it cannot be doubted that stock diseases would be as widely distribut- ed as now If turkey buzzards were eliminated. as has been proposed. What amounts to proof of this is the fact that hog cholera at times Is viruleni and seriously destructive in regions where there are fe3 or no turkey buz- Zards. as in certain northern states and Canadian provinces.
 Attacks in the South by buzzards upon living farm animals indicate that there are too many buzzards there for the best economic interests. In the North, where buzzards are fewer, such attacks are believed never to occur. Reduction in the number of buzzards may be desirable. especially if accom- panied by or resulting from Il proper system of carrion disposal, but there is a wide gulf both in meaning and de- sirability between reduction in num- bers and exterminntlon.

FALLING HAIR MEANS
 DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get 25 Cent Bottle of Danderine Right Now-AIso
 Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of Its luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverish. ness and itching of the scalp. which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get a 9 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which Is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actual ly see a lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-growing all over the scalp.

Effective Snowplow.

making turns. Take another eight. foot plank and saw of two feet for a brace co and spike this brace al right angles to the longer plank. It may be necessary to let out the reach so that the outer end of the brace will not be too far forward on the moldboard (D). The brace should be raised an inch or two so that the snow which falls in the triangle will spill out readily. When spiked together the blow should have a comparatively small spread, say four feet. A wide spread means too heavy a drag and unnecessary labor. To hitch the blow to the bob use two clevises and ring attached to the end of the left side of the blow (point marked B). In order to do effective work a man should ride the blow.
 One distinctive feature of the blows construction lies in the fact that the left side of the blow Is two feet longer than the right side.
 The left side is made so 1t can be snugly attached to the outside of the right.hand front runner of an ordinary pair of bobs. When travelling, the left Qonger) side parallels the runner and the right (shorter) side forms the whole blowing surface.

FIX ROAD FOR AUTOMOBILES
Radical Change in Treatment of High. ways That Bear Brudt of Travel
 is Suggested

The suggestion made by Francis NJ. Hugo, secretary of state of New York. that a radical change is called for In the treatment of the roads that bear the main brunt of automobile travel, must strike laymen, at least, as highly important. He points out that only a small part of the width of these roads is actually used by most of the vehi- cles which pass over them, and yet when the road has to be repaired or renewed the whole width has to be dealt with, for mere patching in most cases cannot be regarded as the most practical method of maintenance" Ac. cordingly, he proposes the use of pre- pared tracks made of special ma terial, continuous and smooth in char. acter, and sufficiently wide" which would "bear nearly all the traffic and would lengthen the life of the road ten times Its present period."-New York Times.

ing through the alimentary canals of buzzards. Anthrax spores are not de- stroyed in the digestive tracts of other carrion-feeding animals, as the dog, cat, hog, chicken, or opOssum.
 IL Is true that buzZards may carry the germs of anthrax or other stock diseases on their plumage. feet, or bills, and thus distribute them; but all the other animals just mentioned may similarly carry disease germs on the surfaces of their bodies, as may also flies, domestic pigeons and other poul- try, horses, mules, and cattle, not to mention members of the human fam fly. In fact at the same time that steps are being taken greatly to re- duce or exterminate a wild bird-the buzzard-which may possibly play a minor part in the transmission of an- thrax. farmers are harboring several domestic animals that have far greater possibilities as spreaders of the dis ease. The fact that anthrax may be carried by flies Is more than sufficient to explain the most severe epldemics.

GOOD 
SNOWPLOW IS EASILY MADE
Effective Device for Clearing High. ways in Winter Can Be Put To-
 oether by Any Farmer.

A farmer who is firm believer in good roads in winter as well as in sum- mer, could not get any satisfaction from his town superintendent when snow blocked the six and one-half mile way to town. writes Laurence W. Gris- wold in Farm Journal. So instead of going to the town-father and bawling him out, the farmer knocked together snowplow and started out. The work done with the blow that day made it easy for a team to trot all the way to town and not get in trouble when 1t was forced to turn out for an other rig. And the job was over be- fore a gang of men with shovels could fairly have started.
 Directions for making the blow are as follows: Take a 2 by s inch plank, eight feet in length GA in the accom- panying picture), and use 1t for the side which Is to travel flush against the side of the bob runner. A ten inch plank might work, but a 12-inch one would not because it could not swing ahead of the rear bob when

MONEY FOR RURAL HIGHWAYS
Bonds for County Reads Should Never Run Longer Than 30 Years, Say
 Agricultural Experts

Bonds sold for county highway i'm provement, in the opinion of road spe- cialists of the department of agricul. ture, should never run for more than 90 years, and retirement even earlier Is better where this can be accom- piished without too great an increase In the tax rate. It is dangerous prac- tice to have bonds run for a long pc riod, because in such cases the in- debtedness often outlives the estimated life of the improvements made with the money so raised. Money borrowed to build roads should be repaid by those who enjoy the benefit of the i'm provements tf.ns financed, and not to be debt upon those who gain no bene. fit from the expenditure.

'CANADA'S BONUS
 10 FARM LABORERS
Offering 160 Acres to Farm
 Hands.

Canada today. with the great de nand that is made upon 1t for food stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes of a labor famine. A novel means of solving the problem has been evolved by the Canadian Government at Ottawa on Wednesday last, when it was de- cided to practically bonus every farm hand going to Canada, by giving him 160 acres free as a homestead, and to allow the time he would be working out for, the good wages offered, to count as residence duties on the homestead. Western Canada has been a big pro- ducer of grain and 1t is estimated that there is a shortage of over thirty thou sand men, necessary to produce an av- craze crop in 1917. This shortage has been caused by so many young men having left the farms to go to war, and 1t is essential to make an unprecedent- ed offer of this kind, to fill their places on the land at once.
 It has been required in the past to do three years duties on homesteads to get title, but an additional induce ment has been offered by practically reducing this term to two years. As explained by an official of the Canadi- an Government, Canada's need for farm laborers Is intense, and excep- tiOnal inducements are being offered to get the needed farm workers at once. A farmland will make his en- try for one of the 16O-acre farms, sat isfy the Government that he is work ing for a farmer and that time will ap- ply as residence on the land filed for, just the same as if he was actually living on it.-Adyertisement..

IS BUZZARD A MENACE?
Accused of Spreading Hog
 Cholera and Anthrax.
For Nearly Three Centuries Work of Bird Has Been Appreciated at It's Full Value in South-Per-
 secution is Begun.
CBy w. l.. M'ATEE)

Turkey buzzards are familiar fea- lures of Southern landscapes. Their wonderful soaring flight has been n subject of study by a multitude of ob- servers, and the buzzard is not only the model but also the inspiration of the eAmerican-invented airplane.
 All vultures specialize in feeding on carriol. While under natural condi- tions the number of dead animals available for them is somewhat limit ed. yet when the human population Is considerable and sanitary conditions not over good. there Is much work for buzzards, and they fill an important work has been appreciated at its full value in the South, and these birds have been scrupulously protected.
 The turkey buzzard now is threat ened with persecution in the land where heretofore 1t has received the has been accused of spreading such diseases of live stock us hog cholera and anthrax. The charge that it spreads hog cholera has never been demonstrated. and until this is done Judgment should be suspended. Its relation to anthrax has been investi- gated with the result that in the dis tribution of the disease the bird must be considered a minor agency as con- pared with man and various domestic and certain wild animals
 The nature of their food would Indi- cate that buzzards have strong diges- tive powers. The spores of anthrax, or carbon, virulent stock disease. have been shown by two independent investigations to be destroyed by pass

FERTILITY SOLD FROM FARM
Too Common Practice of Producer to Calculate Value of His Crop on
 the Market Price.

CBy c. A. WILSON. Kentucky Experi-
 ment Station)
 Nothing else has mitigated so much against the rational relation of live stock to average farm operations us the utter disregard of the fertility sold from the farm when corn and other crops are sold direct and not fed. In other words, for the sake of the soils of the state and their future produc- tion It has been Altogether too common a practice for the producer to calculate the value of his crop on the market price, The market price less the fer tility sold in each pound, bushel. ton, or other commercial. unit, is q more logical basis of estimate, and .et un- der any system of direct marketing of crops we lose sight of the possibility of a better price If fed to live stock on the farm, the value of the utilization of rOughage, the accumulation of clements of plantfOOd and vegetable matter in the manure. a more judicious and profitable rotation and diversity of crops. and sn increashog crop yield at much less cost her acre.

 Greatest Importance.

The ideal winter poultry house is dry. free from drafts. and well venti- lated. Proper ventilation does not mean sacrificing warmth or comfort in a properly designed house.
 The importance of good ventilation cannot be overestimated. Poor venti- lation soon results in a decrease in the egg supply, and in disease in the flock.
