IMPROVED QUALITY

For crops such as lettuce, celery,

SPECIAL CARE FOR ROOSTER
Keep Male Exercising, Supply Plenty
of Proper Kind of Food and Eggs
Should Be Fertile.

Good breeding males sometimes get
themselves out of breeding condition.
by overgallantry. Instead of taking
their share of the food they call the
hens. A good plan is to give every
male a special feed at night. Many
breeders coop the male at night and
feed him morning and night.
See to it that the males spurs are
not long and sharp enough to cut the
backs of the hens. Either wrap them
with narrow strips of cloth or saw
them off.
If the male has a bare spot on the
head, or a torn waffle, the hens are
likely to peck at him. Some males
will permit the hens to pluck feathers
and peck at their noses until there is
raw surface. Grease these bare
spots with carbOlized vaseline, and
coop the bird until the wound has
chance to heal over. An open wound
of this sort is apt to become infected
with the germ of chickenpOX and give
lots of trouble. Pigeons, sparrOws and
other birds are said to carry chicken
pox. If the germs are in the ground,
and the male rubS his sore spots with
infected feet, he is almost sure to get
the disease.
Keep him exercising, give him plen-
ty of the right kind of food and the
eggs should be fertile.

contention is that good roads, roads
that run for thousands of miles
through state after state, are, proper
", not the responsibility of the state
but of the nation. He would have the
federal government build a system of
national roads Joining the West with
the East, the North and South, connect
ing every part of the country, as is
the case with the national highways
of Europe, and, as history shows, such
as was the essential equipment of ev-

would such an enormous construction
be paid for and kept up? Suppose"

SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ROADS
We Will Soon See Necessity for Sep
arate Systems for Freight and
Passenger Traffic.

President Rowe of the American Au-
tomobile association says that in ten
years the United States will be COW
cred with systems of national roads.
BY that time he says we will begin to
see the necessity for separate systems
for freight and passenger traffic. Pres
ent highways will be greatly multi
piled and largely increased in width.
The quality will be improved as the
country begins to learn the art of
road building. Good roads he be-
lieves, are the greatest practical step
toward national preparedness.

any apparent gain. The Toulouse,
Embden, Chinese and African are
easily the most popular breeds of
geese in this country, the first two
greatly leading the other breeds. All
economic breeds of geese are kept pri-
mariIy for the production of flesh and
feathers; and although their eggs are
occasionally used for culinary pur-
poses on the farm, there is no demand
for them for food purposes in the
markets.

Thanks to the pushfuI. pervasive

has ''got a move on" at last. There is
everywhere the cry for roads, for more
roads and for better roads. The draw
back has been that, as yet, there has
been no coordination of these multi
tudinous enterprises. The president of

Charles Henry Davis, @. E, in a re-

10 inches Of rack space per eve are al
lowed. The partitions between the
pens are formed by movable feed racks
so arranged that the attendant can
walk down the center to distribute
feed. The sides of the pen next the
alley are formed by wall racks. On
the second floor the hay NOW provides
storage space for 90 tons of loose hay
or straw, and the grain storage room
for LOO bushels of grain. Exclusive
Of silage, this is enough feed 10 carry
all the sheep which should be put in
the barn for a period OF five months
The siIo should have a capacity for so
tons. Hay is thrown down through two
chutes, each fitted with a sliding door
at the bottom, and the grain is deliv-
cred to the first floor through four
spOuts, each of which may carry a diff
ferent mixture.
Essentials for Winter Landing.
In addition to the pens, the first floor
contains a shepherds room equipped
with a stove and q medicine closet. This
may be used as a hospital for chilled
lambs. With a room of this kind al
the disposal of the shepherd, the barn
may be considered as possessing all the
essentials for successful winter lamb
ing.
A large silo, a supply of rOughage
stored outside the barn with which to
refill the NOW late in the fall, and a
few extra feed racks set up in the lots
would enable the owner OF such a barn
to feed out two carloads OF lambs in
early winter before using the building
for the breeding ewes.
At the prices prevailing for labor
and material in May, 1916, it is est-
mated that, exclusive of feed racks
the cost OF such a barn would be ap-
proximately 81, 400. These figures. how
ever, the bulletin points out, should be
taken only as a rough guide, for it is
impossible to state exactly what the
price of material and labor will be al
any time in a given locality. The
amount of farm labor that is employed
In the construction OF the building Will
also affect the final cost. The cost OF
the concrete silo with a capacity Of 80
tons may be roughly estimated at $50.
For each additional ton $40 should be
added.
In selecting the site for such a build
ing, dryness is perhaps the most i'm
portant consideration. Ample yard
space adjacent to the main barn should
also be provided, and, if possible, this
should have a southern slope with
sandy soil. It is also desirable that
the building should be convenient TO
the farmhouse or to other barns be
cause a flock OF sheep requires during
a part Of the year attention many
times each day.

MARKED EGGS IN INCUBATOR
Just Before Piping Sew Eggs Which
Are to Be Pedigreed Into Cheese
cloth Sacks.

The eggs of one hen, or a setting of
eggs, may be Matched in the incubator
with other eggs, If, just before piping,
the eggs to be pedigreed are sewed in
to cheesecloth sacks. Make the sacks
large enough to leave plenty Of room
for each chick, and see that there are
no loose threads to choke the chicks.
If there are several sacks, mark each
sack, as the shells are often broken
too much to show the record. Boil the
sacks before using a second time.
