inclined 10 forget. "Dreadnaught" IA

When these vessels were first con
structed they were variously designat-
ed as "iron," steel" or "armor plated"
and even about plated" there was a
difference Of opinion, for 'cased,'
clothed" and sided" served at various
times as alternatives.

LICE ON SETTING HENS
Methods for Freeing Birds and Nests
of Vermine

Great care should be taken to
keep nests occupied by setting hens
free from mites. II is hard TO work
effectively against the mites when
many hens are brOoding. Oil in the
form of crude petroleum sprays

specialists in the United State De-
partment Of Agriculture-used free
ly about the house at that time,
may soil the eggs and prevent sue
cessful Matching. Infested quarters,
therefore, should be treated thoro-
ly before hens are set, so as to start
them in nests which are absolutely
clean. Beneath the straw Of the
nest layer OF lime and sulphur will
tend TO prevent mite breeding, and
the entire nest may be busted oc-
casionally with pyrethrum. Broken
eggs and the straw soiled by them
should be removed promptly, as
they tend TO attract mites.
Medicated nest eggs, said TO con-
troll poultry lice. are on the market.
These consist largely of naptha-
lene. While this material will de-
stroy lice when applied generally
10 the fowl, il is injurious TO the
hens eggs as well as 10 the bird. II
used in quantity, or if the indicated
eggs are allowed TO remain for some
time beneath a hen, she may die
as a result. Sodium fuorid pow

best remedy for lice. Farmers Bull

Of what they did is shown In the fact
that the same flag flies from the great

nation and not 10 contemplate knot

But besides this, besides the mate

WHY MAINTENANCE OF ROADS IS
NECESSARY
By r. E. Toms, Senior Highway En-
gineer, ONCE of Public Roads
and Rural Engineering
WASHINGTON, d. C.

and Rural engineering
Washington, d. c.
In many parts Of the United states
the building Of roads has been oil
such absorbing Importance that
there has been a general tendency
TO utilize all available funds for con-
struction work. leaving the roads
already built to shift for themselves.
This is a wasteful and expensive
policy and frequently serves to re-
tard road construction.
The construction Of any kind OF 4
road pre-supposes establishing a re-
pair and maintenance fund. A bust
ness man. who invests in a house or
expensive building, expects to paint
il occasionally, mend its roof or
make occasional repairs. When
these things are necessary they are
done: but they do not add to the
value of the house. Its actual con-
dtion may be such that its value
after painting and repairing is still
less than first cost. These charges
for repair, plus the interest on the
investment represented by the
house, are properly considered to
be a part of the annual rental.
There are two elements that enter
into the investment of road that
make it different in aspect from the
investment in a house or other
commodity. One is the fact that the
road is a permanent investment. No
county expects to get its money out
OF the investment by selling. IL
becomes fixed capital of a peculiar
kind. A county cannot pick up its
roads and sell them. II cannot sell
them in place; neither can 1T ordi-
narilly use them so as to obtain a
cash income from them or any form
of cash return. If the roads go to
pieces, it is an absolute loss OF fixed
capital unrecoverable in any way.
Again, road is a perishable struc-
ture. II is exposed to all sorts and
conditions of weather and is sub
iected to heavy and rough treatment
in its normal use. The result is a
constant and often rapid wear and
deterioration. To meet this we must
be prepared to do such work as may
become necessary at a variable an
nual charge.

PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS


The farmers Of the United States
lose each year large sums because
Of improper methods of producing
and handling eggs. One-third al
least of this loss is easily prevent
able. II is due TO the partial hatch
ing Of fertile eggs.
The eggs laid by hen may be
either fertile or infertile, depend
ing on whether or not the male bird
has been allowed TO run with the
female. A fertile egg is one in which
the germ has been fortified by the
male bird. Except for this process
of fertilization, the male bird has
no influence upon the eggs which
the hens lay. Egg production is
equally great in flocks from which
ROSTERS are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one because the germ
responds more readily to high tenn
perature than the unfertilized one.
II is impossible to hatch an infer
tile egg or 10 cause blood ring to
form in one. Such eggs are much
more likely to reach the table in
good condition and there is much
less spoilage in shipments compos-
ed entirely of them than in mixed
shipments of fertile and infertile
eggs.
After the Matching season, there
fore. the male birds. should be
cooked. sold. or confined. In ap-
proximately fourteen days after this
all tht eggs laid by the hens will
be infertile. These can be market
ed much more successfully under
the adverse conditions that fire.
quently prevail in the hot summer
months.
Rules for Handling Eggs on the Farm
Heat is a very great enemy of
eggs, both fertile and infertile.
Farmers are urged to follow these
simple rules, which cost nothing
but time and thought, and will add
dollars to the poultry yard returns.
4. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
3. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
a week.
5. Sell, kill, or confine all male
birds as soon as the Matching sea-
son is over.
The Farmers Club at Conway will
soon have an Egg Circle-produc-
ing infertile eggs. We need to pay
more attention to our poultry, es-
pecially NOW. We are losing
$i5,OOO.OOO annually by not separa-
ting the hens from ROSTERS after
the Matching season is over.
