was "chield" for senators pledged prev

Another opponent of the Penrose mo-

the presidents action unprecedented. No

DESTROY sTICK-TIGHT FLEAs
1t is Necessary to Clean and Spray
Houses and Runs as Well as
Treat the Fowls.

''Stick-tight" f1eas breed in the
cracks and crevices of brood and
poultry houses; also in dry animal or
vegetable refuse, but will not breed
in damp or wet places; therefore, to
get rid of them it is necessary to clean
and spray the houses and runs thor
oughly as well as treat the birds, say
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Grease the comb and wattles of the
fowls and chicks with a preparation
of kerosene and lard-one part kero-
sene to three parts of lard-being
very careful not to use too much of
the mixture or get any of it in the
birds eyes or on other places where
it is not necessary, as it may cause
injury if used too freely.
Clean and spray the coops and
houses thoroughly the same as for
poultry mites; also wet or spray the
yards or runs, especially any dry soil
about the poultry houses, such as dirt
floors or the ground underneath a
board floor, with a solution of salt
and water. which helps to keep the
ground moist and prevents the fleas
from breeding.

DIFFERENT BREEDS OF HENS
Eggs, but Are Poor Sitters-Brah-
mas Best for Meat

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Chickens, for convenience, may be
classified as egg breeds, meat breeds.
general-purpOse breeds, and fancy or
ornamental breeds.
The egg breeds include the small or
medium-sized fowls which are very ac-
tive, quick to mature, producers of
white-shelled eggs, usually nonsitters
or at best but poor sitters, and rather
poor mothers, say poultry specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. The varieties of LeghOrns
and MinOrcas are good representatives
of this class. Because they are poor
sitters some other breed, or at least
few other fowls, should be kept if nat
ural methods of incubation are to be
employed. On account of their Carly
maturity it is not uncommon for indi-
viduals of the egg breeds to begin lay
ing at the age of four and one-half
months. These breeds do not fatten
as readily under ordinary conditions
as the larger and less active breeds.
and are rather sensitive to low tenn
perature because of their large combs
and watttes.
The largest fowls, represented in
the meat class, are especially suitable
for the production of large roasters.
They are slow and somewhat sluggish
in movement, have little desire for
fOraging, are easily confined by low
fences, rather slow to mature, persist
ent sitters, and rather Indifferent lay
ers of brown-shelled eggs. Many pOul-
trymen, however, are getting very fair
egg yields from them. The Brahmas,
Langshans and COchins may be men
toned as belonging to this class.
The general purpose breeds include
fowls which are of fair size and which
will also produce a good quantity of
brown-shelled eggs, making them es-
pecially adapted to the person wish
ing supply of both eggs and meat.
AS one has to make frequent sales of
flesh in the shape of surplus cockerels
and hens, the carcass as we'll as egg
production should be considered. The
general-purpose breeds are usually
good sitters and good mothers. They
have medium-siZed combs and wattles
and endure cold weather well. They

MORE GOOD ROADS BIG NEED

Automobiles and Help Build
Up Communities.

To determine the average mileage
the automobile owner covers in
pleasure trip in the evening after
the days work is over, an investiga-
ton among $50 owners in a middle
western city of around 100000 pOpu-
latiOn resulted in an average of So
miles. SiXty-twO per cent stated they
would make longer trips if the roads
permitted, So per cent stated they usu-
ally made their trips out into the
country.
From these figures it is easy TO
see that more good roads will in
crease the growing popularity of the
automobile, which will in turn help
to build up communities, relieving
congestion in the crowded cities, Gre
ate a wider circulation of money, in
crease realty values, lower tranSpOr-
tatiOn costs and introduce America

STOCK
FEEDING AND CARE OF HOGS
Pedigree Alone Is Not Sufficient to
Make a Satisfactory Animal
Management Counts.

Two men attended sale Of pure
breds and one of them bought the top
gilt for more than $500. She was
sold a year later for little more
than half of that amount. The 9TH
er paid 500 for a gilt for which he
refused $500 a year later. The first
gilt was worth. the original price, but
lack of development made the second
price a fair one. The second gilt sold
high enough, in the judgment of the
sale crowd; proper development dur
ing the second year of her life more
than trebled her value. Any advan-
tage in pedigree was in favor of the
first gilt. One scored a loss and dis
appointment, the other a profit and
enthusiasm. The difference repre-
scented the difference in feed.
There are many other instances that
might be cited TO show that pedigree
alone is not sufficient to make a good
hog. 1t also takes feed, and the kind
of feed may make the difference be-
tween profit and loss. One would not
expect to feed hogs at a profit on an
exclusive diet OF fshmeai costing Sf00
per ton, or of corn at $50, nor in
dry lot with just enough of either or
both TO maintain life without gain,
nor on pasture alone, which .cOnsti
tutes simply a maintenance ration. 1t
is the combination of these factors
excepting the dry lot-which makes
for profit. We do not advocate the use
Of the dry lot for anything 1t is a
dusty or muddy abominatiOn, and an
incubator of disease germs 1t is even
worse than a pine woods or broOms-
edge pasture" Green fields and live
stock and nicely painted, convenient
buildings have an affinity for each
other.
The manufacturer is justified in
putting all of his eggs in one bas-
ket and then watching that basket"
but in the case of the farmer there is
no such justification. The "Buy-a-
bale" cotton period failed to catch the

labor. The army of labOrers which we
expected q apply for the work did
not, however, materialiZe. On the
contrary, there was Il distinct shortage
of labor, and wages reached the high
est levels attained in the history of
the country. In 1917, competent labor
could be secured for from $3.50 to 50
per day, but the corresponding wages
in 1920 were from So to So for a short
er days work.
In proportion to this demand there
was also a pronounced scarcity of con-
struction materials. Sand, gravel,
stone and cement, and materials com
monty used in road work increased in
price between 1917 and 1920 from 80
to 100 per cent. Naturally, these in
creases in cost were reflected in the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
S4.535 to $3.50 per mile; concrete
from sd ,165 to upward of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from $33 600 TO
$4,000 per mile.
AS funds available for road con-
structiOn are largely limited by statute,
or by the returns from taxation,
majority of the states this year have
deliberately withheld work, the plans
for which had been completed, until
they could obtain greater return for
their expenditure.

Every kind of road cost about twice
as much to build in 1920 as it did in
1917, according TO the chief of the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, and high
way construction suffered more than
any other class of work through rail-
road congestion, strikes, labor trou-
bles, and material shortages.
After the war there was a great
public demand for improved roads.
