DEMAND FOR SAFE ROADWAYS
Some Kind of Protection Should Be
Provided to Keep Cars From
Skidding Of Dirt Roads.

What value do we place on human
life? To Judge by some of the roads
over the country 1t is not much. Lives
are lost many times where few dol
lars or a little extra time would make
a road safe enough 50 that taking
ride along them on rainy day in an
auto would not be such hair-raiSing
experience as is often the case now,
saws a writer in Successful Farmer.
Recently a friend Of mine was driv-
ING along q road within half mile OF
a small town and ran into ditch SIX
feet deep, upsetting his car and smash
ing things up generally, though ne es-
caped unhurt, and had no one with
him. Many complaints had been made
about that road, but nothing was done
nv anyone. On either side the ditch
came within less than two feet Of the
roadway, and there was not even a
ridge or anything to ward the wheels
off and keep them from sliding over.
When hundreds of automobiles are
owned in every part of the country

off roads when they are slippery, it is
not morally right and should not be
legally right to leave them in condi-
zion that would make an accident IN
der ordinary conditions possible. Dur
ing the last two years have been
riding around considerably ana we
have been in places where it was very
dangerous driving and often came UP
on such places with no chance at al
to avoid them. In one case we crossed
a bridge after a light shower, and on
the far side found that ii had caVed

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 favOrabiy
with those of other countries. Roads
are being built at 1886 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 S40O, 100000 At the end of June,
1920, the government reported that 2
116 different projects, or total of
10000 miles of roads, had been COM
pleted.-Boys' Life.

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

While it is well to provide 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 NAV consist of fine road dust with
coal ashes added.

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 flock that has been kept
in confinement during spring and early
summer.

There have been many advocates OF
the theory that chicken lice can be
killed by painting the roosts and drop
ping boards or the whole interior of
the poultry house with various oil mix
lures, the idea being that the vapors
penetrate the feathers of the roosting
fowls and kill the lice. This method
has been given /; very extensive trial
by specialists of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, and not one
of the AZ different preparations tested

examined. AS the tentative grades,
before being put in final form, were
submitted to some of the leading wool
authorities in the country for SuggeS-
tions and criticisms, it is believed that
little, if any, change will have TO be
made when official standards are es-
tab!ished.
During the past year investigations
al and demonstrations work to test
the commercial utility of the grades
was conducted in IS states. Before
meetings of WoolgrowerS and others,
demonstrations were given to show
the preparation of the f1eeceS and the
proper care and handling of the wool
before its shipment to market. In
the states of Maine, New Hampshire,
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and Ar
kansas the several expert wool grad
ers engaged by the bureau graded APP
proximately 100000 pounds of wool
in accordance with the tentative wool
grades. This work has been looked
upon so favorably by wool producers
that requests have been received for
resumption of these activities dur
ing the coming season.

TranspIanting the Seedlings.
WheE the seeding plants are big
enough to handle-that is, when hey
have formed about two leaves in addi-
ton to their seed leaves-other boxes
of soil should be provided and the
plants transplanted about two inches
apart each way to give them plenty
of room. More window space must be
provided, and it may be necessary to
build a stage and support one box
above another. The same precautions
as to watering and turning to get mi
form light will be necessary. On warm
days the boxes can be put outdoors.
When it comes to planting in the
garden, the plants grown in boxes are
cut apart with cube of soil around
the roots of each. Those grown in
pots are Jared loose, turning the head
of the plant downward with the stem
Of the plart between the first and Sec
ond fingers of the left hand. Where
tin cans without bottoms are used,
the ball of earth is pushed nearly out
of the can. The plant is then set with
the can sticking up around it as pro-
lection against cutwor3ns. After a
week or two the can is lifted over the
top of the plant This practice is be-
ing extensively followed by CONNER
cial gardeners in certain sections, who
by the aid Of one Of the little can-seal-
ing machines now on the market cut
off the tops and the bottoms of thou
sands of discarded empty cans for use
in transplanting plaLts. Some garden
ers dip the cans in thin solution OF
shellac to keep them from rusting.
One way of extending the garden
season and getting ahead of neighbor-
ing gardeners is by starting several
early crops In a hotbed. In addition
to starting plants, the hotbed is useful
for growing a few early vegetables for
the table.
