CONSIDERING OATS FOR HOGS
Not Worth While Unless Selling for
Less Than One-HaIf as Much
Per Bushel as Corn.

As a general rule it is not worth
while to consider oats as a feed for
hogs unless they are selling for less
than one-half as much per bushel as
corn. In case the hogs are being car
ried along rather slowly, however, or
the tankage is extremely high-prfced,
It may be worth while to feed as much
as a pound of oats per pig daily. In
any case continue to depend chiefly
on corn and tankage, feeding at least
two or three parts of corn for each
part Of oats and at least One-fourth
of a pound Of tankage per pig daily.

the United States, If not the best,
has consistently followed this practice.
The originally improved roads In Ma
ryland were comparatively inexPen-
sive, costing only what the taxpayers
were willing to pay for. The first few
years the average cost was less than
$4,000 mile. In some cases the work
entailed considerable grading and
drainage, but in others it amounted
simply to resurfacing the old turn
pixies, which had already been graded
and drained.
Generally the roads built at that
time were macadam, II feet wide and
inches thick. Soon the width was
Increased to IA feet. Later many were
widened still farther, some very sue
cessfully, by adding concrete Shout
ders on each side Of the existing
macadam. This method Of improving
roads makes 1t possible for traffic to
continue unimpeded on the road while
the work is going on.
The macadam roads in Maryland
have given very good satisfaction, but
continuous care has been largely re-
sponsible for their success. The roads
are constantly patroIed and no hole
OF any size is allowed to go unre-
paired. Material for patching is kept
at convenient points along the roads
for the use of the patrol man. From
a relatively small investment in adj
mttedly lOw-type road it builds up a
better one from year to year, always
conserving the bulk Of the previous
| investment.

IMPROVEMENT OF PUREBREDS
Virginia Farmer Gradually Helps
Quality of Stock by Using Those
Of Superior Type

OF 151 head of live stock on farm
in Shenandoah county, Va, all but five
are of pure breeding, the United States
Department OF Agriculture is advised.
Cattle and swine are the principal
classes Of animals kept.
In. participating in the Better Sires
Better Stock campaign, the owner
Of these animals states that he cas-
trates all interior and surplus hogs,
keeping none for breeding that can not
be registered. 81 castrated 26 in one
day" he adds ''Three of these were
good enough yearling boars to head
most herds" By keeping only those
animals for breeding which are of SUI
perior type. this farmer is gradually
improving the quality of stock on his
farm.

GOOD ROADS FOR EVERYBODY
State and Country Highways Built
and Kept Up Will Connect Every
Farm With Market.

For each dollar your state puts up
for good roads, under certain cOndi-
lions, Uncle Sam gives it another dol
lar. Such government aid for the
current fiscal year ending June 80,
1921, aggregates many millions. But
then it stops, unless congress renews
the grant, says Farm and Home. Ma
ton and state should provide funds
and plans for years ahead, so that a
definite policy can be followed.
National trunk line highways built
and maintained by the federal govern
ment, for the heaviest traffic and for
military purposes, may render exist
ing railways and their terminals suf1-
Gent for their purpose. State and
country highways, also local roads,
built and kept up by state and local
authority, will connect every farm
with every market.
Federal licenses for motor vehicles
used in interstate traffic, based on
weight, load capacity (Which must
not be exceeded), power and speed,
will furnish revenue TO maintain the
national highways. Let a suitable
part thereof accrue to the states, in
addition to the state registry fee, and
be used to keep up roads that receive
| the hardest wear.
The system must be worked out so
as to build up the rural districts, not
result in more favors TO cities. Here
is an important duty for our national
| agricultural organizations. Above all,
no graft, no favoritism, no politics in
| it. Develop waterways and hydro
electricity along with good roads.

Cows Highly Priced.

The cows Of Periguex, France, which
serve not only as milk giverS, but as
draft animals, are highly priced by
their peasant owners, and nothing that
can add to the comfort Of the vaIU-
able animals is neglected. They are
protected from the annoyance OF
svarms OF flies which infest that part
Of France by quaint hand-crocheted
wells which cover the entire head and
hang down almost TO the ground. The
wells themselves are works Of art, with
long silky fringes Of varying hues, or
borders OF crocheted lace. In schools
which are aided by the Junior Red
Cross Of America, French children are
taught to crochet, and so can make

GREEN FEEDS ARE ESSENTIAL
Good Varieties Are sprouted Oats, Al
falfa Meal, Clover Hay, cabbages
and MangeI 5eets-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Green feeds should be supplied to
hens confined In small yards, and, In
deed, TO all hens during the winter.
Free range or large yards kept in
grass furnish ideal conditions for
green feed. Smaller yards should be
divided into two parts, used alternate
ly, planting the vacant section two or
three times yearly with aquick-grow-
ing green crop, such as rape. oats,
wheat, rye, or barley. This method
furnishes green feed and helps to keep
the yards sweet and clean, which Is
an important consideration, poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture say.
Good varieties Of green feeds are
sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chopped
alfalfa and clover hay, cabbages and
mangel beets In ordinary cellars cab
bages do not keep as well as mangel
beets, and should be used up first.
Cabbages may be hung in the poultry
house; the beets are usually split and
stuck on q nail on the side wall of the
pen about a foot above the floor. Vege-i
tables that have been frozen can be
thawed out and fed to fowls. but do
not keep well after thawing. Clover
and alfalfa may be fed as hay, cut
into One-quarter or one-half-inch
lengths, or they may be In the form Of
meal.
Oats for sprouting are soaked over
night In water and spread out from
one to one and one-ha1f inches thick
on trays having perforated bottoms,
and put into an oat sprouter. Stir the
| oats daily until the roots are matted
| together. Keep the oats moist by wa
tering them once a day. Artificial Leaf
should be supplied In cool weather.
| Use a good grade Of oats and allow q

sprouted oats on the floor Of the poul-
! try house or in the yard. Feed at any
time after the sprouts are well start.

WHEN FOWLS COMBS FREEZE
Best Remedy Is Mixture of Lard,
Quinine and Kerosene, Melted
and Mixed Together.

Even in cold weather fowls should
have good ventilation and fresh air,
and this sometimes leads to frostbit-
ten combs and Wattles. These are not
particularly serious If looked after
properly, but if neglected may ruin
the fowls appearance, as well as
cause unnecessary suffering.
Breeds with large combs need espe-
ciaIly good attention. The best cure
is to apply an ointment made Of lard
two ounces, quinine one ounce and
kerosene three ounces, melted togeth-
er and thoroughly mixed. The ONT
ment should be rubbed gently on the
affected parts once daily for several
weeks, or until the parts become nor

GREEN FEED OF IMPORTANCE
Not only Assists to Supply Necessary
Amount Of Vitamines but Also
Acts as Regulator.

With hens being confined to the pens
it is important that plenty Of green
food should be given. Not only does
it help to give the required amount
of vitamines but it also is beneficial
as a regulator. The nearer one makes
the hens feel that they still have
spring conditions, the better egg pro-
ductfon can be expected. Cabbage,
mangels, chopped and STEPPED alfalfa,
and such like make fine food for fowls.
