SHEEP KILLING DOGS <
 A MENACE TO FEocKs
Need for More Woel and Mutton; M akes Preventive Measures Necessary. :.


 ,ro meet the menace of the sheep killing dog, which Is recognized as one of the greatest i1indrances to mutton and wool. production in the United, States, several methods are suggested in Farmers Bulletin ss5, "rhe Sheep Killing Dog," issued by the : United States Department of Agriculture. Uniform State dog laws are advocated as probably the best method, and a digest of existing State laws and the complete, text Of two satisfactory laws (those of Pennsylvania and West Vir- ginia) are, given in the bulletin. The use of dog proof fences Is suggested and the co operation Of owners of dogs is said to be important.
 'sThe war needs of the United States and the Allies make it, imperative that the number of live stock he < gub- stantially increased" says the bulletin 'sThe whole of Europe is contending with a shortage of all classes of live stock and is facing a problem in the supply of farm animals thai will not be solved for years after the war is over The entire world is in need of wool and it'will take some time after peace is declared. to stock the world trade. The need of an increased meat supply and the necessity of a greater wool supply make the sheep one of the most profitablel of far; naninnals. ;.
 Men who have entered into the sheep business and have failed to find the keeping of sheep profitable, agree that one of the greatest causes for their Encouragement has been the sheep killing dog.
 Thousands of. sheep. are rutillessly killed each year by dogs, causing a monetary loss to sheep owners of over s1, 900 900 annually. The greatest set back of all that the dog causes to the farm industry as, a whole, sonsists in keeping out of business men who are otherwise inclined to go into it. !

FLOW EARLY. AND FOLLOW M ..MEDiATELY WITH HARROW.

. Conservation of moisture is greatly facilitated by blowing early and fol- lowing immediately with narrowing. It is practice among a great many farmers to blow their land and leave it unharrowed for several days This means the, loss of a. large amount of
 moisture which will be needed later in the season! To prevent the eyapora- tion of water. it is necessary to have on the surface of the soil fine loose mulch This is obtained only by inn mediate and thorough narrowing.

 Food Depends on Machines.
 Today the world depends for it's food upon the blow, the disc, the har- row, the planter, the mower, tue man ure spreader. the binder, the rake, the tractor. We cannot produce food without tools-the weeds would starve us out.
 To speed up we must blow at least an acre an hour and that means trac- tors. To get Q good yield of corn, we must have corn planters that will drop as many kernels as we want and drop them true.
 To insure maximum of production we cannot depend upon the shovel and the hoe. We must have discs for cultivating the soil spring tooth har- rows to kill the weeds incur alfalfa. To harvest our crops and take care of them when they need attention, we must have mowers, binders, rakers, threshing machines.
 There must be efficient artillery on every farm. Every piece of artillery must be put in shape and kept in shape for the decisive battIe-to help win the victory that win be won on the farms of America, on the farms of France, on the farms of Britain by American machinery.

By P. G. HOLDEN

The war will be won by the artillery of the farm. The tank may clear the battlefeids, but the farm tractors will deliver the final blow. The great world struggle has demonstrated more than anything else has ever done that farm tools. farm implements, farm machines are absolutely essential to the preservation of human life.
 For three and a half years the Am erican farm machine has blocked the progress of the powerful war machine of autocracy-
 Without farm machine America could not even feed herself. Yet not only have we had plenty of food for all of us. but for over three years we have fed 57,000.000 of our. allies, a number equal to 50 per cent of the total population of the United States. During those years, according to the food administrator, we have sent to Great Britain. France, Italy and Rus sia 3S4. 900 900 bushels of wheat and four. 444. .000. 900 pounds of beef, 2,000,- 000. 900 pounds of pork and 30,00o, coo pounds of butter.
 Farm Machines Block Autoeraey.
 This great amount of food. made possible only by the general use of
 
 sbled our allies to stop the onward march of the enemy of human liberty.
 And now the American tractor will help us win the victory on the battle fields themselves. Sent to France on American naval transports, 1,500 of them will be put to work this spring blowing that part of ''No Mans Land" from which the Germans have been driven. In a few months fields that heEe- been scenes of bitter fighting, F-ll be growing potatoes, wheat ond r1her foodstuffs. Half million will pf planted this spring and a million 4cffF next fall.
 These American farm tractors will make possible the growing of 2,00G- coo tons of food. equal to 400 ship loads. Thus is the American tractor fighting the U-boat.
 The year 1918 will be a year of speeding up on all battle fronts. in all intuition factories, in all the ship yards. IL must be a year of speeding up on the farms. This speeding up will be possible only because we hove the most efficient. the most powerful, the most perfect of farm machinery and implements.
 Hopeless would be the task if we were forced to rely upon the crude tooio pA OuE dHCeStOTS-lO pIuW hlJQ d crooked stick, reap with a cradle and thresh with a fail.
 All the land in America would not feed our 120,000 900 people if we did not have farm machinery with which to blow and cultivate and harvest When the Indians owned this country although the land was virgin and fertile. it could have been bought for a cent an acre. Such corn as was grown had husk around each kernel and the Indians depended for their

SEED OATS SHOULD BE TREATED

It is estimated that per cent. of the yield cf oats is lost, amounting to some l4,O0o bushels. by the oat-smut, and Der cent, amounting to 19,000 bushels, by oat rust. This is a loss which should be prevented and can be to quite an extent by proper treat ment of this seed for smut. The fol- lowing are the recommendation for such treatment: :A-
 One pound (pint) of for1naldeiyde in 30 or 40 gallons of water will treat 40 bushels of oats. The equipment needed is a clean floor, a barrel, a sprinkling car, 8 scoopshovel and plenty of blankets, sacks or tarpaulin. Proceed as follows:-
 CD Spread out on the floor 40 bushels of oats five or six inches deep. CD Mix one pound of formaldehyde GAO per cent.) with from 30 to 40 gallons of water. Stir well. @ Sprinkle the oats with the mixture in the barrel until each grain is well noistened. It is well during this eop- eTation for one man to shovel the oats into q pile while another sprinkles. (4 Cover the pile at once with the blankets and sacks m order to keep the gas in where it will be effective. tlt is this free gas that does the work). (5) Leave the pile covered for 6 to 10 hours. Qt may, be left over night) Then remove the blankets and spread the oats out to dry Shovel them over from time to time.

BEAN SEED SHOULD BE TESTED

The frost last year prevented many fields Of beans from maturing. As a result these beans if used for seed, will undoubtedly be weak in vitality. The same principle applies to other seeds and especially in this section to corn. It is absolutely essential that samples of all seed to be used for seed purposes should be tested.

WISCONSIN TO GET BEST
ROAD MARKED SYSTEM

Madison, The best and most thor
oughly coordinated system of road
marking in America.
This is the opinion of students of the
road problem who have examined the
plans for the standardized marking Of
the State Trunk Highway System, de-
vis4d by State Highway Engineer
Hirst, according to a report just issued
by the Good Roads association of Wis
consin.
On Wednesday, March 81, at p. M,
at the office of the Wisconsin Highway
commission at Madison, sealed bids
will be opened for the road markers and
signs. The proposals call for these
markers and signs to be of wood, steel
or concrete, and approximately $500 Of
them will be placed on the 5000 mile
system.
The base or standard design to be
used is a triangle with it's apex at the
bottom aud base line at the top. Each

numbered-for instance the number of
the road from Milwaukee to Madison to
the mississippi River will be 10. The
state will issue road map which will
be numbered accordingly. On each
mile Of this road will be placed stan
dard road marker, white post rising
four feet above the ground just outside
Of the construction limits, with the
edge toward the road. On both sides of
this white post at the top will be paint
ed in black the triangle design and
within it the phrase Estate frank
Highway, 10, Wis" meaning that this
is State Trunk Highway 49, Beneath
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1918-03-21

the triangle will be the number of the
mile, the mile numbering beginning at
the west end Of the road.
| This means that a tourist desiring to
go from Milwaukee westward through
Madison to Prairie du Chen would
look at his road map and find that the
route was Highway 10 ard would start
out and follow the mile posts on each
mile marked 10. All of the state trunk
highways will be similarly treated.
There will be 5000 of these mile road
markers. The other road signs and
markers are as follows:
At the intersection of State Trunk
Highways sign eight feet high will be
placed. which will give the number of
the trunk highway, will have an arrow
pointing in each direction over the
cross roads and will give the name Of
the principal cities in each direction
and the distance from the interesting
point.
The county line signs will be placed
on each county line. standing eight feet
high, and will have placed thereon the
names Of both counties and the county
highway commissioner of each.
A patrol system will be placed on the
state trunk highways, patrolmen being
in charge of sections of road. At the
junction Of patrol sections, signs will
be placed indicating the number OF each
patrol and the name of the patrolman
in charge.
The standard danger sign will stand
eight feet above the road, the usual tri-
angle in shape, with red background
and white lettering. There will be
three signs of this type, one Indicating
dangerous curve, the other danger
Gus hill, and the third a railroad cross
ing.
At the approach to schoolhouses.
churches and other places where eau
ton should be exercised, there will be
"Slow'' sign of the same type as the
danger sign.
The object in placing the names of
the county highway commissioners on
the county line signs and the patrol
men on the patrol section signs is to en-
able the public to know who is in
charge of that section Of the road and
on whom the responsibility rests. The
patrolmen will wear metal badge on
their hats numbered the same as the
patrol section they are in charge Of.
It is expected that the work of put
ting out these signs and markers will
begin May 1, and be completed July 1.
