Ideal Sectinn on Lincoln Highway


There is to be constructed on the
Lincoln Highway, the great national
road stretching across the country
from ocean to ocean, an "deal sec
ton" which will embody the high
est ideals of modern American high
way constructions. This section
will serve as an example to the road
builders of the world seeking infor-
nation as to the best and most sat
isfactcry type of road that can be
QUILT. +:
The funds for building the section
will be provided by the q United
States Rubber company. In announ-
cling the company's willingness to
pay for the section, Vice President
j. N. Gum said: nf
"The desire Of the company in
authorizing the appropriation; is to
advance public knowledge regarding
proper permanent highway con-
Struction, and to stimulate on the
part of those who have in charge
the construction of Americas public
roads, a, careful consideration of the
needs of the future in undertaking
present construction"
The specifications Of the "Ideal
Section" have not yet been decided.
A QUESTIONABLE has been mailed to
every highway. commissioners and en-
gineer in the. United States asking
for suggestions. The location OF
the section has. not yet, been selected,
but conditions on the Lincoln High
way in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa indicate that one of. those
states will be chosen.

V|C|LANT WORK IS
REQUIRED TO KEEP
THE CHICKS HEALTHY

If disease and parasites could be
elimated from the poultry flock the
work of the owner would be 50 much
simplified and his profits much larger.
AS this cen not be done. the next best
thing is to keep under control as rig
orously as possible the enemies OF the
chicken world
The best way to accomplish this is
to get eggs from a flock which has
shown no indications of contagious
disease for at least a year; avoid
putting these eggs in any packing
such as chaff, oats, or cut straw,
which may be musty or moldy, and
hatch them in new or thoroughly
cleaned incubator. The young chicks
should be free from parasites and in
furious germs of all kinds. To keep
them in this condition they should
be put into new or clean breeders and
permitted to run only upon ground
where poultry has not previously
used for poultry for several years.
Cleaning Up Used Ground
Sometimes these directions can not
be followed in all respects, if all the
available ground has been recently
used for poultry, the fowls.should be
removed from the part which is to
be used for the new flock, a good
coating of freshly slaked lime should
be applied to the entire surface of
the ground, and few days later it
should be plowed. 1t may now be
cultivated three or four times with
intervals of a week and finally sowed
with oats, or other grain. In a
few months the greater part Of the

germs will be destroyed; but it is
best to leave the ground unoccupied
by fowls until winter has passed.
as the freezing and thawing of fall
and spring are more effective than
either continued cold or warm wealth
G.
If the eggs must be Matched under
hens instead of in the incubator, the
problem of starting a clean flock is
much more difficult. Hens are liza bile
to harbor parasitic worms in their
inteStines and to scatter the eggs of
these worms wherever they go. They
generally have lice and mites hidden
in their feathers. which pass to the
young chicks Immediately after the
latter are Matched; and they may be
the carriers of disease germs even
when they appear perfectly healthy.
For these reasons hens used for
Matching should be selected from a
flock known to have been free from
other diseases than those caused by
accidents for at least year, and the
individual birds of which are lively,
vigorous, free from lice and mites
and are producing a large number
of eggs.
Clean Hens and Nests
The hens selected for Matching
should be we'll busted with a good
lice powder before they are given a
setting of eggs; their nests should be
perfectly clean and should be made
with fresh, soft hay or straw; and
there should be box of road dust,
or sifted hard-coal ashes, or similar
substances, under cover, where they
can dust themselves whenever they
come from the nest.
When the young chicks are taken
from the nest they should be care
fully examined for lice. These par
asites usually accumulate under the
throat and upon the top and back
Of the head. If any are found, rub a
little sweet oil, pure lard, or vaseline
with the finger over the parts where
the lice are. This kills the lice by
obstructing their breathing pores and
does not harm the chicks.
BY beginning in this manner a flock
may be obtained which is practically
free from disease germs and parasites.

The cereal products-rice, hon.

in touch with sources OF information,
both state and federal, and can OBJ
tain the knowledge from an author
ity on the subject. Demonstration

give as diversified list as this one
from Illinois.
