BETTER ROADS HELP BABIES
Farm Is Made More Accessible to Doctor and Nurse-Danger in
 Travel Is Reduced.

It may. seem long way from good roads to better babies. and yet the two are closely connected.
 America has a great rural pOpula- tiOn, throughout which babies are be- ing born every day.
 These babies and their mothers need care, the visit of the nurse, the services of the physician, often of the surgeon, and how are they to have it if between lie miles of road impossible alike to automobile or buggy?
 Of what use is the little hospital at the county seat if the woman whose life depends upon it's care cannot be taken there swiftly and comfortably?
 What difference does it make that the town physician may be a very wiz ard at treating diphtheria if long be- fore he can arrive at the farm the lit- tie throat has been closed by the deadly film, or the little heart stopped by the depreSsant poison?
 Medical and surgical hOnOrs are generally claimed for the city-when as a matter of fact the country doctor is often possessed of skill as com plete as his heart is big.
 Make the farm accessible to the doc tor and nurse, make the hospital and the health center accessible to the farm. Nature and skill will do the rest.-COncOrd Monitor.

24 hours, and the packer must be sure that the body cavity, as we'll as the skin and flesh, are free from heat be- fore the birds leave the chill room. Failure to observe this requirement Is responsible for much of the ill-cOn- ditiOned poultry found in the public markets. The range of temperature permitted, too, Is small. Below 30 de- greeS Fahrenheit the flesh is frosted i; above 35 degrees Fahrenheit decay proceeds too rapidly to permit of long hauls to distant markets. Of course, the birds can be frozen after they are chilled. and so shipped, and this is very excellent plan, especially If the haul Is across a hot country, say the specialists in the Department of Agri- culture.
 Packing for Market.
 It is customary to pack brOilers with the breasts up, and the feet hidden. The prevailing method at present, where refrigeration Is available, Is to pack the chickens in small boxes hold ing a dozen each, but small boxes suit able for one or two chickens have re- gently been placed on the market. If the business Is to be permanent the containers should carry the farm name, or the name of the shipper if the farm has no name An attractive advertisement on the box has a great deal to do with marketing, a fact proved long ago to the satisfaction of shrewd business men.
 Small packages gre becoming more and more popular. Two layers of chickens in a box are being discarded for a single layer, it being realized that refrigeration Is more perfect If the carcasses do not touch, and if pressure on such tender tissue as chicken muscle Is eliminated as far as possible. On this account heads are wrapped in waxed paper and turned back where they do not rest against the soft flesh of the breast or thighs. No longer does the packer thrust old cocks, brOiling chickens and fowls indiscriminately into a big su- gar barrel, pressing them down in his effort to pack tightly, and so bruising the flesh and tearing the skin.

INCREASED NITROGEN SUPPLY
Element May Be Added by Proper Soil Treatment, Rotation of
 Crops and Phosphate.

The supply of nitrogen, the most costly element of food for plants, can be increased through proper soil treatment, rotation of crops, the ad- ditiOn of phosphate and limestone and the growing and blowing under of legumes. All stable manure is to be utilized, and on the older, worn soils of the East and South some commer- cial nitrogen may be profltably used. Following crop that is a heavy nitro gen consumer with one that is a light user is good farm practice.

KEEPING DOWN STABLE FLIES
Give Stable Refuse Proper Care and Stack Straw So That 1t Will Not
 Be Breeding Hole.

The numbers of stable flies can be kept down by caring properly for stable refuse and by properly stacking or otherwise dispOsing of straw in way that will not make 1t attractive as a breeding place for the flies. Flies cause much distress among anil mals and at times heavy losses. Con- trol measures are described in Farm ers' Bulletin 1O97.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricultural
 Not day passes that inspectors employed by city, state or federal gov ernment, do not condemn food of one kind or another because it Is unfit for human consumption. Sometimes this is due to deliberate adulteratiOn, an intention to defraud the purchasers, but more often 1t Is the result of im- proper packing, neglect to consider temperatures to be encountered In transporting from point of origin to destination, or failure to consider the time which must necessarily elapse before the product Is likely to reach the consumers tables.
 All this entails not only great loss in money, likely to be reflected in prices demanded of the public, but also 1t endangers the public health, because occasionally some unworthy article slips through inspection and is served as food. Enough food products spoil every week to form a very i'm. portant part of the amount needed by the people; and practically all of 1t might be saved through intelligence and care on the part of the producers and shippers.
 After your chickens are fattened and ready to kill, it will pay you to study the methods of killing, bleeding, pick ing, chilling and packing described fully in bureau of chemistry circu- lars: 8, "How to Pick Chickens;" 52, "HOw to Wrap Heads"; 61, "How to Kill and Bleed Market Poultry" Is- sued by the Department of Agricul- ture, these circulars may be had by application to the division of publica lions. The man who hopes to sue ceed should know everything possible about his proposed market, and its de mands.
 Broilers In Demand.
 Ordinarily the demand is for brOil- CTS of three sizes-squab broilers, small brOilers and large broilers. Squab broilers weigh, dressed, from three-quarters to one pound; small broilers, the size most in demand the greater part of the year, weigh from one to one and a quarter pounds each, and large brOiIers from one and one half to two pounds.
 Broilers may be sold alive or dressed, in the discretion of the ship per; but if dressed, this should be done according to the demands of the market, and these demands one can learn only by inquiry and study. Get ting the product ready for the buyer in the public market has much to do with the price received. The appear ance of the article. the manner in which 1t Is packed, and Its condition these are the points that make rep utatiOn for the shipper.
 Temperature to Maintain.
 The temperature of chickens when they are alive is 1O3 degrees Fahren- heit. This must be reduced after kill ing to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less before they can be packed for long hauls in refrigerator cars. The time required to chill fowls usually is about

the "blocked BALI rule and the
runner coming in from third
should have been automatically
out. However, Jumps Tommy
Davidson was watching closely
the runner trying to register and
as result "missed" the unmanly
piece of work. SO Moretown had
an unearned run and it certainly
was cheap one.
Moretown presents a rather for
midable lineup. 1t is evident,
however, that the team needs boil
stering up in at least three places,
at third second and behind the
plate. The men covering these
three places played pretty good
game but if Moretown elects to
challenge the winner of the St.
Johnsbury-Newp series the out
fit needs achievements in the
aforementioned positions.
Irons was easily the fielding star
for the visitors yesterday, although
Slayton was very much on the job.
Irons committed virtual highway
robbery on at least two occasions.
His best catch was that of Jocko
Conlon's long, hard hit fly, which
looked safe enough. He also
speared Stars liner, thus depliv-
inc the little catcher of a hi.
With almost anyone but Irons in
right field both of these men would
have had hits. Duba, despite his
one miscue. looks good at short.

How the three were secured in the
second has been told. In the third

Bracket singled sharply to left
and Goode knocked a fast one into
right. These hits, coupled with
an error on the part of Ward, who
m1tfed Irons throw from the gar
den scored three tallies.
IN the fifth the visitors were in
fine position to score by fine
throw from Bracket cut down a
runner at the plate. In the sixth
Ward hit safely to left center.
