BARIUM POISONOUS TO RATS
Tests Indicate That a 20 Per Cent
Mixture With Food Makes Most
Satisfactory Bait.

A study Of barium carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture, indicates
that 20 per cent mixture with food
makes satisfactory bait. With this
percentage rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three-eighths of
a meal Of average size to get fatal
dose. 1t was found that with this dose
many of the rats poisoned died with
in "a hours, though an occasional rat
was found which survived an even
larger amount. thus indicating that
100 per cent mortality is not to be ex-
pected in any case.
A summary of results Of expert
ments conducted by various persons
with a view to determining the dead
illness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy Of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
1t is pointed out that the fatal dose
of barium per pound tends to decrease
relatively as the size of the animal
increases, and that bait calculated
to be fatal to rats may be assumed to
be more or less dangerous to small
domestic animals also.

KEEP ROADS OPEN IN WINTER
gests That Special Efforts Be
Made by State OfficiaIa

It is suggested by the federal high
way council that state and county
highway departments make a special
effort to keep the roads clear Of snow
during the winter months and thus
permit of uninterrupted traffic. The
transportation of certain commodities
is really more important during the
winter than in summer and it is then
that the roads are more difficult to
pass over. Then, too. the rural NATL
must be carried whether roads are
good or bad, and when the snow drifts
several feet deep over the roads the
life Of the rural mail carrier Is any
thing but pleasant. AS the snow melts
it transforms many roads into a mire
that is almost impossible. On any
road, no matter how good. there is
tendency for the melting snow to soft
en- the subgrade and loosen the base
under the wearing surface, thus caus-
ing great damage to the road.
Road officials could do nothing bet
ter than to keep their equipment busy
in the winter removing the snow from
the road surfaces. It is one form Of
maintenance work that is very essen
tial in frightening the life and use
fulness of the highways.

Patching Maeadamized Road In
Maryland.

has consistently followed this prac-
tice The originally improved roads
in Maryland were comparatively in
expensive, costing only what the tex
payers were willing to pay for. The
first few years the average cost was
less than $4,000 a mile. In some
cases the work entailed considerable
grading and drainage, but in others
1t amounted simply to resurfacing the
old turnpikes, which had already
been graded and drained.
Generally the roads built at that
time were macadam, IL feet wide
and six inches thick. Soon the width
was increased to IA feet. Later many
were widened still farther, some very
successfully, by adding concrete shoul
ders on each side Of the existing
macadam. This method Of improving
roads makes it 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 patrolled and no hole
Of any size is allowed to go unre-
paired. Material for patching is kept
at convenient points along the road
for the use of the patrolman. From a
relatively small investment in an adj
mittedly low-type road it builds up
better one from year to year, always
conserving the bulk Of the previous
investment.

Peculiar Cry of Guinea Gives Warn
ing Of Marauding in Poultry Yard.

Agriculture. However, some people
look on this cry as an argument in the
guinea's favor, as it gives warning of
marauders in the poultry yard. SINH
larly, their pugnacious disposition
while sometimes causing disturbances
among the other poultry also makes
them show fight against hawks and
other common enemies, so that guineas
sometimes are kept as guards over the
poultry yard. Often few guineas are
raised with a flock of turkeys and al
lowed to roost in the same tree, where
they can give warning if any theft Is
attempted during the night.
Used as Substitute.
The value of the guinea fowl as a
substitute for game birds such as
grouse, partridge, quail and pheasant
is becoming more and more recognized
by those who are fond Of this class of
meat and the demand for these fowls
is increasing steadily. Many hotels
and restaurants in the large cities are
eager to secure prime young guineas,
and often they are served at banquets
and club dinners as a special delicacy
When well cooked, guineas are attrac-
tive in appearance, although darker
than common fowls, and the flesh of
young birds is tender and of especial
~ fine flavor, resembling that Of wild
game. Like all other fowl, old guineas
are very likely to be tough and rather
dry.

CUSTOMERS SECURED
FOR POULTRY SHOWS
Persons at Summer Resorts Buy
Produce in Winter.
City People Have inspected Producers
Farm and Know Under What Con-
dltions Foodstuffs Are Raised
One Case Cited.

Many producers living near summer
resorts supply produce in the summer
months to the persons at the resorts,
and during the other months of the
year ship produce to these persons
while they are in the city. This. say
marketing specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, is
one of the best methods of obtaining
customers for direct marketing, as the
producer and consumer have some ac-
Quaintance. In most instances the Gus
toners have been at the producers
farm and know under what conditions
the articles are produced.
One man who lives near a summer
resort in Indiana is about twelve miles
from the nearest town Of any size. He
does not desire to drive to this town to
dispose of his farm produce and is not
satisfied with the prices that the buck
sters pay. Consequently he built up
business Of supplying products to re-
sorters in the summer and of shipping
produce by parcel post and express to
these persons at their city homes in
the winter.
The principal products shipped are
butter, eggs and dressed poultry. This
producer uses good shipping containers
and packs produce attra ctively. AS he
is acquainted with his customers, he
renders statements of accounts only
once a month. In this way the matter
of making payments is simplified for
the customers.
This producer has had no trouble in
establishing his business nor in retain
ing customers. He states that his only
trouble has been in getting enough
high-grade produce to supply all of his
customers.
