ECONOMICAL FEED FOR HENS
Soak Oats Until They Begin 70 Swell
If Fowls Do Not Take Kindly to
Them-Feed Dry Mash.

If the hens do not take kindly TO
oats, soak them until they begin to
swell. Buy clipped oats If you must
purchase them. Scalded cats may be
fed to chicks four or five weeks old.
with as good results as to hens
Dry mash, being made Of mill feeds
or by-products, has not advanced as
much as whole grains. Beef scrap has
shown the least change.
An economical and satisfactory dry
mash for growing stock and laying
hens is composed Of 100 pounds each
of wheat bran, -four or standard mid
dlings, cornmeal, ground oats and beef
scrap.
Skim milk or butter milk can be
used in place of beef scrap If it is
available. Hens having milk usually
eat more grain, but production per
pounds OF grain consumed is greater.

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
improved Roads Have Always Been
Necessary Adjunct to State,
Community and Individual.

Good highways are and have always
been a necessary adjunct to the well
fare of the state, community and indi-
7idual. The argument, "Good roads
cost lots of money" may in reality be
true when figured in dollars and miles,
but is incorrect when considered in
reality. Good roads must be paid for,
but they are paid for whether they are
built or not. The wear and breakage
on teams, harness and vehicles, and
the increased cost of hauling on poor
roads is costing the grower far more
than the price of building and keeping
in repair the very best roads. He is
actually paying for the roads without
getting them; and, besides, is put to
much Inconvenience and worry.
In short, good roads cost nothing.

OF soft maple a cord and half is re-
Quired to equal one ton of coal, and of
cedar, poplar or Eastwood, two cords.
One cord Of mixed wood, well sea-
soned, equals in heating value at least
one ton of average-grade bituminous
coal.
The most common method of making
cord wood is to cut the trees into four
foot lengths with an ak and split the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled in a standard cord, which is
eight feet long, four feet high and four
feet wide. The contents are 12S cubic
feet, of which 20 per cent is wood and
80 per cent air.
Best Heating Value.
To have the best heating value as
well as to reduce the cost Of hauling,
wood should be thoroughly seasoned,

quently occurring diseases of poultry is
simple catarrh or just plain cold This
disease appears in a large number OF
flOcks regularly every season In and
Of itself simple cold does not cause
much trouble, but inasmuch as it pre-

roup and diphtheria it especially be
hooves the poultrymen to combat colds
the moment that they appear. Affect
ed birds usually do some sneeZing, do
not look quite as bright nor have as
good appetiteS, and what is perhaps
most Characteristic, there is a thin
mucous secretion discharged from the
nostrils, or in other words, the birds
are running at the nose. If the case

emily there is a well-deyelOped case OF
rOup to deal with instead Of plain,
ordinary cold.
Weak birds that are Improperly
nourished are more likely to contract
colds than stock that is well fed As
in the case of most other diseases, pre-
vention is simpler than cure One OF
the chief causes Of this condition is
the Overcrowding OF young, growing
chicks in poorly ventilated sleeping
quarters.
Much trouble can be avoided IL fowls
are provided with dry, well-ventilated
coops, with the accent on ventilated"

which means drying it from six to
eight months when piled so as to get
a good circulation of air. However,
so per cent of the moisture may be
removed in three months.
Because of the unusual demand for
cord wood it is believed that the
present time offers unparalleled op-
portunity not only for farmers to I'm
prove their woodlands by cutting out
the poorer trees and selling them, but
for private and public owners Of
wooded tracts to clear their lands at
a profit. Communities which feel they
are threatened with a serious fuel
shortage will do well to take measures
to stimulate the cutting of wood. Such
action may be viewed as part Of
Americas cooperation in the national
endeavOr to feed and sustain Ameri-
cas- army and allies,

HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD
A W00DCUTTER CUT If

Taking white oak as fairly
typical of the hard woods and
white pine for the soft woods,
the figures below will show ap-
proximately the amount of cord
wood that may be cut from trees
of different sizes. The figures
will vary considerably with the
extent at which the tops and
branches are utilized and on the
taper of the tree trunks. With
forest-grOwn trees, utilizing the
branches and tops to about two
inches, these amounts may be
expected:
White Oak.
Ten inches in diameter, so feet
high, one-sixth to one-seventh of
a cord; 10 inches in diameter, 60
feet high, about twO-ffths of a
cord; "a inches in diameter, 20
feet high, one and one-fifth
cords.
White Pine.
Ten inches in diameter, so feet
high, one-eighth of q cord; Is
