Investigations by the bureau of plant

where the pOwdery dry rot occurs a
temperature of 33 to SO degrees holds
the disease In check better than a

1t is found best not to store pOta-
toes In large piles when they are moist
or covered with moist earth, as they
quickly develop sufficient heat to in
jure the vitality of the tubers. If
through unfavorable weather cOndi-
tiOns it becomes necessary to store
potatoes when they are wet and dirty,
they should be spread out in a thin
layer until they have become dry,
after which they may be piled up. 1t

SMALL HOUSE FOR CHICKENS
New Lumber Will Make Best Appear
ance, but Packing Boxes Will
Answer Purpose Well.

In building a poultry house, new
lumber will of course make the best
appearing structure and will also be
somewhat easier to work up because
it can be bought in lengths most
advantageous for the purpose. Houses
for a few hens can sometimes be
constructed from packing boxes, while
used material or secondhand lumber
if it can be purchased cheaply and
is close at hand, will sometimes lower
the cost of the house materially
Occasionally, also. where a high
board fence is available, the house can
be built in the corner of the fence,
thus saving the construction of the
back and one side of the house. Care
must be used to cover or batten the
cracks, either by means of strips or
by the use of roofing paper. Construct
the building so that the front of your
henhouse Will admit the sunlight.

GIVE BROOD SOW VARIETY
Judicious Mixture of Foods and Proper
Amount of Exercise Will Get
the Best Results.

The brood SOW needs a variety IN
her food and exercise. In expert
ments conducted at the North Dakota
Agricultural college under the direc-
tion of Professor Shepperd it was
found that sOws will readily eat alfalfa
hay, and that when this is fed with
mixture OF about half barley and half
shorts at the rate of 21a pounds daily
for q 200-pOund sow, splendid results
have been secured. Equal parts of
barley, oats and bran or shorts also
makes a very good feed. Exercise is
also very important. 1t was found
that the best way to give the grain
feed was TO sweep the floor clean and
scatter the grain on 1t. This results
in the sows spending hours on their
feet getting their feed. Observations
indicate that sows fed a variety of
foods and given plenty of exercise are
not likely TO produce hairless pigs.

prepared By the United States Department

A flock of pullets that can be
brought TO laying in the fall will give
the largest yearly profit. The average
poultry keeper fails either TO hatch
early enough in spring, so that the pull
lets may reach laying maturity in Oc-
tober. or he does not keep them grow
Ing rapidly enough to bring this about.
Pullets that do not get TO laying well
before the arrival of cold weather and
the short days of December. viii sell
dom start egg production before Feb
ruary. Thus two or three months OF
additional feeding are required, and
the advantage of this period of high
est egg prices is lost.
Very few eggs are secured on the
average farm during autumn and early
winter, but experienced poultrymen by
better management secure fair egg
production during these seasons. It
is advisable, though not essential, that
the cockerels and pullets be separated
as early as possible and given sepa-
rate free range.
Avoid overcrowding at night. A coop

not house properly more than half as
many growing pullets. Their maturity
will be retarded if too many are kept
together, or if they are annoyed by
lice or mites. Frequent inspection Of
the houses, especially after the pull
lets have gone TO rooSt. is advisable.

perches or are found by a careful in

ROADS
SURVEY NATIONS HIGHWAYS
Accurate Measurement of Americas
Net of Roadways Soon to Be

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Americas far-hung net of roadways
is soon to be measured accurately in
terms of mileage, cost, character of
construction, Improvement work and
general condition by the bureau of
public roads of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The survey,
which is the most extensive ever un-
dertaken and the first in seven years.
IS to be made with the aid of state and
local officials and individuals the coun-
try over. and is comparable only to
the great task of taking the national
census.
Nobody, in all probability, could
guess today within millions of dollars
what the roadways total, in dollars
and cents, on the ledger of national
assets. Nobody knows how many miles
there are where wheel may roll The
strength and the weakness of the ma
tiOn's transportation arteries likewise
are unknown in detail.
When the survey is completed, all
these and other facts will be known
and wiz be available for guidance to
road builders. In addition there will
be abundant data to show up com
parisons of costs. The well-buiIt roads
of, say, Pennsylvania can be laid, dol
lar for dollar and mile for mile, along
side the well-buut roads of California
and other states. First cost and main

drink Of water. If the weather is
cold the water should be slightly
warmed. A thin slOp of bran and mid
dlings may be given if she shows ac-
tual signs of hunger. The feeding
for the first three or four days should
be light and the time consumed in
getting the SOW on full feed should
be from a week to ten days.
1t is Of the greatest Importance in
raising pigs for the market that they
gain weight as rapidly as possible.
The first opportunity TO force the pigs
comes when they are a few weeks
old. Up to this time they have been
living solely on their dams milk, for
which no perfect substitute has been
found. After about three weeks the
young pigs begin to develop an appe-
tite for some accessory feed to sup
plement the sow's milk, and they
should beAgiven some additional food.
The pigs will eat from the sOw's
trough, but it is better that a pen or
''creep" be arranged adjoining that of
the SOW, allowing the pigs to have ac-
cess to a self-feeder in which shelled
corn alone is fed for a couple of
weeks and afterwards shorts or wheat
middlings.
Pigs should be castrated while they
are young. preferably when six to eight
weeks old, and before weaving De-
