None to Be Furnished Townships
Without Good Cause.
Very good reasons will have to- be
given the board of supervisors by
townships and individuals why CORFU
gated iron tile for small culverts
should be furnished this year by the
county. In fact the board has taken
the position that none will be fur
nished unless they are absolutely nee
essary. rs
According to County Engineer Hic-
koks annual statement the county
supplied no less than $12,507 worth Of
these culyerts to townships, and for.
county roads, in the year 1916. It Is
the intention of the board to cut down
this item to not more than $500 for
this year, as it feels that the town
ships should be all pretty well supplied
by this time. The money thus saved
can be invested In permanent bridges.
The general plan islthat as soon as all
or more Of the bridges Of the, county
have been replaced with permanent
structures to enclose these corrugated
culverts in concrete, erect concrete
wings at the end, and leave the pipe
inside the concrete after using it as a
form to hold the mixture. This method
Of treatment will make out Of the cor
rugated pipe culverts that are sup
posed to last for twenty five years,
really permanent culverts that should
be good for not less than 100 years.

METHODS OF PICKING
Suggestions Given as to Success.
fuI Poultry Practices.
Much Depends on Whether Fowls Are
for Future Consumption or for
Immediate Use-Fowis Keep
Better II Not Drawn.

Dry picking and wet picking are
the two general methods used In dress.
ing poultry, depending upon whether
the birds are for future consumption
or immediate use.
Successful dry picking depends on
the proper sticking Of the fowl" said
+. Il. Fox of the poultry department
In the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, 'as the longer the bird Is left
after sticking, the harder the feathers
set. Dry picking takes a trifle longer,
but II the sale of the fowl Is to be de-
layed for any reason, as by shipment
or storing, it should be dry-picked.
"When the fowls are dry-picked
they are bled by thrustlng sharp
knife through the mouth until the Ju-
gular vein Is pierced. Blood will i'm
mediately begin to flow from the
mouth. The brain is then pierced
through the eye. This loosens the
nerves that have control over the
feathers. After this portion of the
brain has been paralyzed the feathers
readily yield themselves to the hands
OF tne picker.
There are two general methods of
dry-picking poultry, the bench method
and the string method. Commercial
ly, the. bench method is generally pre-
ferred.
Poultry keeps better If 1t is not
drawn. The head should be neatly
wrapped in paper, and the feet left
intact.
''lf the fowl is for Immediate use, II
Is trifle quicker TO scald 1t and use
the wet method OF picking. In this
method the bloom is spoiled and the
bird will not keep so well. All scalded
fowls are Immediately drawn. In cold
weather one can send the birds almost
any distance by parcel post"

GATHER SPRING EGGS OFTEN
Those Intended for Hatchino Should
Be Kept as Near Temperature Of
so Degrees az Possible.

During early spring eggs for hatch
ing must be gathered several times a
day until the weather gets mild and
warm. A chilled egg Is no better than
an infertile one; In fact, 1t spols much
quicker In the machine.
Eggs after gathering should be kept
at temperature as near so degrees
as possible. Never allow them to re.
main In temperature below 40 de-
grees for any length of time as then
the vitality Of the chick will suffer.
If they are allowed to remain exposed
to too warm temperature, or great,
ly varying temperature, the same
thing happens. They may hatch out
chicks all right, but the chicks will
never be robust. Leaving eggs ip the
nest to be set upon and warn. 81 VI
several times during the day Is a.aoth.
er way to lower chick vitality.
Attention to these little details pays
well in the long run. Better hatch out
100 chicks with 100 per cent vitality
than 300 and raise only about one.

TR0UGHS USED FOR FEEDING
Domineerins Fowls Keep Timid Ones
Back--eest to Scatter Grains In
Deep, Clean Litter.

There are domineerlng hens In ev-
cry flock which keep the timid ones in
constant state of fear and subjec-
tion. When food is given In trough
where the hens can eat their I'll, the
domineering hens keep some of the
others back and often eat twice as
much as their share, while the less for
tunate ones do not get enough. The
result is both fat and skinny fowls In
the same fiock-whlch Is always un-
desirable.
The way to avoid 1t Is not to feed
in troughs entirely, but to feed pretty
largely of dry grains, cracked grains
and seeds, and scatter them In deep,
clean litter that compels every hen to
hunt and scratch for her share, thus
giving each one an equal opportunity.
