Allen Nash of Oak Grove district
has recently sold two spring lambs
that came early. They weighed 100
lbs each and brought s34, or SIT each.
If farmers who own just a few sheep
would plan to have their lambs come
early, which is entirely possible with
just few head, and plan to market
them at the first of July, they will be
insured a good price. In order to do
this satisfactorily. the marketing must
be handled much the same as the hogs
are marketed now-in cooperative
shipments. Small sheep owners can
do this nicely by breeding their ewes
to lamb in February and through the
use of irrigated pasture they can be
made to weigh rs to 100 lbs. by the
first of July. This. of course. applies
to only few head on farm.
Bran has been one of our main
sources of feed for dairy cows and
hogs during the past few months.
Various experiments have been tried
to determine the value of this feed for
hogs and in most cases it has not
its bulky nature. A test with r. C.
Nash has recently been started to de-
termine the value of the feeds from
the local mill. This test is being run
on herd of 5S pigs whose initial
weight is 70 lbs. They will be fed
bran on alfalfa pasture for 80 days
and weighed again The complete re-
port of this test will be published
upon its completion.
There are number of interesting
things to see and study on the pro-
posed route of the silo excursion July
26th. 1t is the plan to visit a few irri-
gated pastures and a few fields of
corn of different varieties. Anyone
who can view the corn fields now
growing on the project and still say
that we do not have a corn country

Plan Appropriate Marking
of Spot Where Washington
Crossed Delaware River

The project for marking the spot
where Washington crossed the Della
ware as reached by stage in both
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 1t
first gained real shape seven or eight
years ago, when the Washington's
Crossing Park commission Of New Jer-
sey prepared a plan for a grandiose
memorial. Land was to be acquired
on each side of the river. laid off into
fine parks, and a splendid memorial
bridge built. The commission actu-
ally spent some $4,000 in buying 100
acres on the New Jersey shore. To
its powers the state department Of
conservation have now succeeded. and
they propose a more modest memorial.
The 100 acres should be sold. the
house of the Ferryman McConkey, who
supplied the patriot army with boats.
should be bought and restored, and the
entrance from the river to the old
Pennington road should be marked
with an arch. This Will cost nothing
like the S25O.OOO original outlay, and
$4,000 annual maintenance required
for the original plan. Meanwhile a
commission has been appointed to
canvass the possibility of acquiring
land at TaylorviIle, Pa, to be develop
ed as park to mark the starting point

With Queue Custom PaSse,
Shanghai Doctor Predicts
Chinese May Raise Boards

Most of US have wondered why the
Chinaman, in distinction from other
men, does not grow a beard. OF course,
some members of the race who belongs
to the male persuasion are exceptions
to the rule. But the great majority OF
Cinnamon have no hair upon the face.
DR.. A. NJ. Dunlap of Shanghai. who
has given considerable time to the
subject, holds that the old Chinese
custom of wearing queues consumed
all of the energy provided by nature
for the raising of hair. And now that
the queue is out Of fashion, Doctor
Dunlap thinks that boards may begin
to grow. Writing in an American med
ical journal of recent date, he tells
some very interesting things about
the Chinese barber, the styles In hair,
etc.
1.-THE nationwide cutting of OF that
Manchu invention-the queue has ere
ated a new class Of modern BARRIERS.
I do not mean to say that the barber
OF old China has passed. with his prac-
tees, which remind US Of these DC
cidental BARRIERS in ancient time. Even
in as enlightened a city as Shanghai
they are constantly to be seen on the
street corners.
To-day these old men can be seen
with their washstands, basins and a
single towel, which does for everybody,

mer and on the sunny side In winter"

WAR ROAD BUILDING POLICY
In Communication to Highway Off
Gals, Secretary Houston Out
lines Government Plan.

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture in a communica-
ton to the American Association Of
State Highway Officials has set forth
squarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con-
structiOn during the war. Secretary
Houston says:
so far as 1T is practicable to do so,
this department Will urge the mainten-
ance Of the highways already con-
structed; the construction and COM
pletlon OF those highways which are
vitality important because of their bear
ing upon the war situation or for the
movement of commodities; the post
ponement of all highway construction
relatively less essential or not based
upon important military or economic
needs. The department is preparing
to suggest to the state highway depart
ments the preparation of a schedule
OF work for the federal aid projects for
1918 in line with this policy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by
the office of public roads of the de-
partment Of agriculture schedule forms
set forth their proposed federal aid
work for the 1918 working season.
These schedules call for description
of each road, the character, quantity
and rail haul of the materials to be
used, the probable cost, the amount of
federal funds desired, the specific pur-
pose of the improvement, its bearing
upon the war situation, and what eff
feet delay of the work until 1919 or
later would have. With the informa-
ton thus assembled and classified, an
efficient road construction program is
assured. While it is impossible to make
any definite statement regarding the
transportation of road materials, the
expectations are that the transporta-
ton situation will be improved and
that the shipment of such materials for
essential projects can be made.
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $500, 900, and
there is scarcely a section of the coun-
try that is not seriously affected by
marked disturbance in road work.

CONDEMN TYPE OF HIGHWAYS
Layman often Errs in Passing Jude-
ment on Type When Poor Main
tenance Is to Blame.

The following is taken from a paper
by B. H. Piepmeier, maintenance en-
gineer, highway department, state of
Illinois. 1t touches a subject upon
which every layman who uses the pub
lie roads should inform himself:
MANY different types of roads
have been condemned by the public
chiefly on account of the lack of prop
er maintenance. The proper type of
road may be selected by the engineer,
but if he has no means of controlling
maintenance his choice may be con-
demned by the average layman.
Public sentiment is nodded largely
by the results that are evident to the
eye, regardless of the money actually
expended. 1t is not uncommon to
