ADVICE ON BUILDING ROADS
Much InVestigatIonai and Expert
mental Work Done by the De-
partment Of Agriculture.

Much investigational and expert
mental work on road building has
been In progress for a number Of
years and road engineers are able as
a result Of this work to give valuable
advice as to the most economical
method of building and maintaining
roads for the varying conditions exist
ing in different localities Much Of
this inyeStigational work has been
done by the highways division of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture and some by the various state
highways commissions. No road build
ing operations ought to be undertaken
without the aid and expert advice
which these agencies are willing and
able to give. Taxpayers should insist
upon this.

leguminous pasture is not available, a
supplemental concentrate should be
supplied. If no pasture, use self-feed-
ers for soaked oats, and separate ones

watch your hogs carefully each day
for failure to feed or other signs Of
disease or sickness. Have a Quaran-

promptly.
''Short rations and a laxative may
be used for slightly sick hogs.

which a number of hogs are similarly
affected requires immediate expert adj

Mention advertising to the OId-time
farmer and he thinks of large display
type announcements more or less ex-
pensively illustrated. But modern
farmers have found scores Of ways by
which they can attract buyers for their
products. The suggestions offered
herewith are designed particularly for
the farmer who is in a position to sup
ply a given grade OF goods in sufficient
quantities to meet a stable demand.
Butter, eggs, live and dressed poultry.
dressed meat, home-rendered lard, sau-
sage, fruit and vegetables are among
the commodities the sales Of which can
be bettered by some form of farm adj
vertising.
There are many means Of direct APP
peal to buyers which are made par
ticularly profitable by the tremendous
increase in auto travel. Today that
farm is remote indeed which is not
passed many times week by town or
city motorists, the majority of whom
are possible customers for the farmer.
Consequently. he must look well to the
appearance of his place. Perhaps I'M
slightly features of which he is not con-
scious exist, but the passerby, keen to
discern these signs of laxness, hesi-
tates to purchase at such farm.
Uses for Bulletin Boards.
A bulletin board near the front gate
is a big asset, if carefully prepared. In
addition to the name of the farm or
the farm owner, it should state in SIM
pie, large type the kinds of produce
for sale and the prices. Some farmers
have found supplementary notices,
placed at a proper distance on either
side of the main bulletin board, very
valuable in calling attention to the lat
ter. Suggested wording for these fol
lows:
FAIR VALLEY FARM
Read Marketing Bulletin Ahead.
There are various ways in which the
farm name can be displayed to the
owners financial advantage. Any farm
will be better remembered by passing
strangers if its name appears in neat
lettering over or beside the main en-
trance or across the face of a barn.
The farmer who possesses an auto
truck-and he is legion these days-is
overlooking a splendid advertising op-
pOrtunity if he does not have the name
of his farm and his special products
neatly 1ettered on the side of his
vehicle. Then every trip to town is a
reminder to hundreds, perhaps thou
sands, Of people that the owner is still

WINTER SHELTER FOR GEESE
Fowls Are Very Hardy and Open
Sheds Are Satisfactory for
Cold Weather Season.

Geese do not need shelter except
during cold winter weather, when
open sheds may be provided Goslings
are not usually Matched until good
pasture is available, and need addi-
tfona1 feed only for a few weeks. The
range of pasture used either for Cos
lings or for geese should be large
enough so that the grass viii remain
clean, or the stock should be moved
frequently to fresh land. Coops. bar
rels, or some other dry shelter should
be provided for the young goslings.
Geese are very hardy and free from
diseases and insect pests.

Many farmers who handle consid-
cradle quantities OF produce find it
profitable to use distinctive, printed
wrappers. Another simple means Of
advertising is neatly printed gummed
labels for use on the outside of pack
ages sent by parcel post or express.
Advertisements in local or metropoli-
tan papers should be short and should
give a description Of the goods with
the prices, and the name and address
Of the person advertising. In some
cities the Sunday edition gives better
results than the daily edition
What Advertiser Should Know.
The person who advertises must Of
fer a product that is wanted by the
persons who read the paper at the
time the product is advertised, in the
places where the paper has a circula-
ton. In other words, he must know
what to advertise, when to advertise,
and where to advertise. The follow
ing are suggested forms for parcel
