1t is not always that such places

three places that were really danger

CONTROL OF LICE AND MITES
Dust Bath Will Aid Materially, but
Should Not Be Depended
Upon Entirely.

While it is well to provide a good
dust bath for chickens, it cannot be
depended upon for louise and mite
control, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
is far better to eradicate the pests
completely. The main difficulty about
depending upon dust baths is that
some fowls seldom dust themselves,
and those which dust freely never
completely free themselves of ice. The
dust bath should be kept under cover
and may consist of fine road dust with
coal ashes added.

NEW BREEDS OF LIVE STOCK
Columbia Sheep Are Particularly
Adapted to Range Conditions
Me-" Type of Horse.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture is developing types of live
stock believed to be more useful than
some now represented by present
breeds.
Range sheep breeding conducted In
Clark county, Idaho, is resulting in
a type which has become so fixed as
to warrant Its classification as breed.
These sheep. known as Columbia
sheep, are particularly adapted to
range conditions and are believed TO
be profitable both for mutton and wool
production.
a new type of American utility
horse IS rapidly being established, in
cooperation with the state. at Buff
falo, Wyoming. Among the character
istics of the type-poSsibly entitled to
the term 'breed'-are activity,
strength, endurance, and reasonable
speed. The horses are believed TO
meet II demand for general farm and
ranch work, delivery purposes, and
for certain classes of military serv-
ice.
Poultry breeding at the bureau
farm, Beltsville. Nd, shows progress
in the establishment of a new breed
OF fowl. Certain characteristics, such
as white plumage and yellow legs and
skin, are now well fixed, but there is
still considerable variation in the type
and in color of eggs. The birds de-
veloped this year show Improvement
over those of a year ago.

the following ingredients: Phenols. tar
oils, hydrOcarbon oils, creosOte oil.
carbon disulphid, wood-tar distillate,
benzol, nitrobenzene, naphthalene, an
thracene oil, and pyridine.
In these experiments the rOOsts and
dropping boards or the whole interior
Of the house were thoroughly painted
or sprayed just before the fowls went
to rOOst, and all doors, windows, and
vertilatOrs We're closed during the first
night. Five badly infested fowls were
used in each test, and at the end of
one week examination was made for
living lice. Although an occasional
dead louise was found on the dropping
boards, in no case was the treatment
of any practical value. Since many
of these preparations were found to
be effective when used as fumigants
in small boxes, it is apparent that the
ineffectiveness of house treatment is
due to the fact that the fumes do not
become concentrated enough to kill the
lice. Tests were also made with lime
sulphur applied in the same way; this
also was found to be of no value.

DEMAND FOR SAFE RoADWAYS
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skiddino OF Dirt Roads.

What value do we place on human
life? To judge by some of the roads
over the country IL is not much. Lives
are lost many times where a few dol
lars or a little extra time would make
a road safe enough so that taking
ride along them on a rainy day in an
auto would not be such a hair-raising
experience as is often the case now,
says writer in Successful Farmer
Recently a friend of mine was driv-
ing along u rOad within a half mile of
a small town and ran into a ditch six
feet deep, upsetting his car and smash
ing things up generally. though he es-
capped unhurt, and had no one with
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road, but nothing was done
by anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet of the
ridge or anything 10 ward the wheels
on and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds of automobiles are
owned in every part of the country
and IL is impossible to always keep
of roads when they are slippery, it is
not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them in a condi-
ton that would make an accident I'M
der ordinary conditions possible. Dur
ing the last two years 1 have been
riding around considerably and we
have been in places where it was very
dangerous driving, and often came up
on such places with no chance at all
to avoid them. In one case we crossed
bridge after light shower. and on
the far side found that it had caved
away to within six inches of the road,
though that was solid. For a rod the
ditch was not two feet from the road,
with nothing TO check a slide into it.

UNITED STATES GOOD ROADS
Work Is in Progress in Every Section
to Give Country Superior
Highway System.

The time is rapidly passing when
the bad roads OF America can be point
ed out as a reprOach. In every section
of the country work is in progress to
give the United States a system OF
roads which will compare favorably
with those of other countries. Roads
are being built at 1885 different
points. Fully 10000 miles of road have
been approved by the secretary of ag-
riculture. 1t is estimated that this
construction will cost the country near
ly $500 100000. At the end Of June,
1920. the government reported that p
I16 different projects, or a total Of
10000 miles of roads, had been com
pleted.-BOys' Life.

GIVE CHICKENS FREE RANGE
Growing Fowls Are Enabled to Obtain
Quantities of Bugs, Worms,
Green Feed, Etc.

When the garden crops have reached
maturity or are far enough developed
to suffer little damage from chickens
the flock should be given free range.
There are times in late summer and
early fall when the benefit received
by the poultry will exceed the slight
injury some garden products may in
cur.
Free range enables growing chick
ems to obtain quantities of green feed,
bugs, worms and other things. The
chickens therefore require less grain
and are less liable to sickness or dis
ease. Exercise and ability to range
for even a few hours a day is bene-
fetal to a flock that has been kept
in confinement during spring and early
summer.

Cardinals first settlement. 1t was in
1884 that Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant an
English colony in America, and the ex-
petitions which he sent established A
little colony on Roanoke island. There
in 1887 was born the first American
child of English parents. She was
named Virginia Dare, after the virgin
queen. This colony, due to England's
war with Spain, could not be properly
supported, and after a few years per-
ished. 1t was not until over a century
later that permanent settlements were
made. Daring pioneers from Virginia
pressed south into the new territory,
and these, augmented by a large COM
pany of Huguenots from France and a
greater number of Germans from the
Palatinate, founded the first North
Carolina town of Newburn in ITO. By
the time Of the Revolution the popu-
lation in North Carolina had increased
to such an extent, with an influx of
Scotch-Irish and Scotch Highlanders
who settled chiefly in the western
counties. that it ranked fourth among
the original thirteen colonies. Today
its population entities it to twelve

1t stands about half way among the

Carolina was the twelfth state to

Carolina, as in the case of South Car
