ROOFING NATURAL FOR HOGS
While II Probably Helps Make Muscle

ticular Benefit.

Why do hogs rootl VIII rings or
other means OF prevention have any
detrimental effect on the health and
progress of the anlmalf Experts at
the Nebraska State College of Agricul-
ture say roofing is just one of the nat
ural procllyitles of swine. While II
probably does help make muscle, 1t Is
otherwise of no special benefit and has
no particular significance. The fact
that hogs show a strong tendency TO
pillow up alfalfa fields or tear out
foundations Of the buildings Is no in
dlcatlon that they are not getting
proper feed. There Is no basis for the
statement that roofing results from
lack of mineral or protein In the ra-
ton. Hogs root for worms. roots and
other food, but they seem 10 thrive
lust as well when a check Is placed on
the extensive use of their shouts, They
also root TO make n cool bed on a hot
day. There Is no reason why rings
should not be used where hogs do ma

is PARADISE OF "RATTLERS'
PUSHING Out of Razorback Hog Re-
sponsible for Multitude of Snakes
in North Carolina.

The mountainous sections of North
Carolina are great breeding places for
snakes and some Of the regions are
now inclosed in national forest areas.
Twenty years ago rattlesnakes were
quite scarce in the North Carolina
mountains. Those were the days when
razorback hogs, one of the greatest
of snake exterminators, were a for
midable part of the states porcine pop
u~lation.
Then along came George w. Van
derbilt, who purchased 10000 acres of
this mountainous country and fenced
1t, driving out the razorbacks and per-
hitting the brush to grow. The Toxa-
way company followed Mr.. Vanderbilt,
acquiring 10000 acres adjoining his
holdings.
The exodus of razorbacks from so
large an area has resulted in a re-
markable increase of rattlesnakes.
North Carolinians declare that there
were never so many in their state as
now.
Forestry service men In newly ac-
quired areas In North Carolina and
other southern states have reported
the presence of a tremendous number
of rattlers. One Washington official,
who was in North Carolina looking
over q piece of forest, sat down on
a log to rest a moment and discov-
cred that he had barely missed sit
ting squarely on a rattler. He jumped
up with a yell. only to find several
others viewing him with obvious In
terest.
In the forests of the Southwest the
thing feared by forest officers and ma
tiyes even more than the rattlesnake
is the hydrophobla skunk. This is a
small species of skunk that terrorizes
the district in which ii fiourishes. To
be bitten by one means, 1t Is said, n.y.
drophobia, unless the patient can reach
a Pasteur'hospital quickly.

WHITE HOLLAND IS POPULAR
While Not So Common as Bronze II Is
Widely Raised-Has Many
Excellent Qualities.

The white Holland turkey, while not
SO common as the bronze variety. Is
nevertheless widely raised and ex-
ceedingly popular. People who keep
them long enough to get familiar with
their qualities and characteristics
generally prefer them to any other
breed.
The origin of the white Holland Is
not known, according to writer's on
poultry, but 1t is believed to have been
developed by breeding white birds Sc
lected from other breeds, which appear
occasionally as among chickens and
r classed as sports" 1t seems quite
certain that they did not come from
Holland or the Netherlands. 1t has
come to the front as a distinct breed
since about 1890. The standard
weights are, 26 lbs. for a cock 16 lbs.
for a coekerel 16 for a hen and 10 for
a pullet. At the same time any of
these classes may be fattened to
from three to six pounds above the
weight quoted. Six months old COB

ALLOW FOR FUTURE TRAFFIC
Count of Automobiles on Number Of
Roads In Tennessee Shows Sur
prising Fact.


Prepared by the United States Department
of Agrieulture.)
In building a road liberal allowance
should be made for future increase In
traffic, says the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. A traffic count conducted
by the bureau In cooperation with
Tennessee officials on a number OF
roads In Dawson county. In which
Nashville is located, shows surprising
facts when compared with a similar
count In 1915. During this period au-
tomoblle registrations have doubled,
while the number of motor vehicles on
the roads Is five times ms great as In
1916. In 1916 horse-drawn and motor
vehicle traffic were almost equal In
volume. In 1921 horse-drawn traffic
had increased only slightly In volume
and constituted 10 per cent of the
traffic, motor vehicles constituting "a
per cent.
Observations In this and other eoun-
tries lead to the conclusion that vol
ume of traffic may increase in much
greater proportion than the number OF
motor vehicles and will also depend
to q large degree on the condition OF
Improvement of the road and on the
economic conditions in the adjacent
territory.

MATCHED LUMBER FOR NESTS
Plan to Have as Few Cracks and
~Crevices as Possible, Built In
Portable Sections.

When first In the poultry business
we thought that nests made of scrap
lumber or small boxes were satisfac-
tory. Now we believe that the nests
should be of smooth matched lumber
with as few cracks and crevices as
possible, says a writer in an exchange.
They must never be nailed to the
sides of the wall or beneath the drop
ping boards. but built in portable Sec
tons, so they can be easily carried
from the house for summing and spray
Ing.
When we used open nests In some
of the houses the birds were constant
ing ~roosting on them or bothering the
hens while they were laying. After
several eggs had been laid In a nest
another hen might decide to scratch
around In the litter In that nest. This
resulted In broken eggs and then II
was only a short step to the egg eat
ing habit.
The best nests are built with a
small track at the rear where the
hens can enter. The eggs are removed
by lowering a hinged door In front.
These nests are slightly darkened and
the hens hardly see the eggs that are
laid. There Is not much scratching
In the litter In a darkened nest. IL
a soft-shelled egg is laid and broken
the danger of the hen eating II Is re-
duced.
The egg-eating habit probably
causes as much loss and discourage
ment as any habit or disease which
troubles poultry keepers. The remedy
is largely in prevention and this con-
sists In building the right kind of
nests.

EFFICIENCY OF WORK HORSE
One Of Chief Factors During Hot
Weather Is Quantity and Quality
Of Feed Received.

One of the factors that materially
affects the efficiency of the work
horse especially in hot weather Is the
feed he receives and the manner In
which he receives II. : In order that
a horse may do a full days work regu-
larly throughout the summer months
and yet maintain IA ~presentable con
ditlon he must be fed just about %
his full capacity. In order to do this
and not injure his health, care and
Judgment must be exercised in the
selection of feeds used.
The feeds best suited TO form the
principal components of the ration are
good bright clean timothy or upland
prairie hay and bright, clean, sound
oats. The average horse weighing
1900 pounds will require about ~
pounds of hay and % to "a pounds Of
oats a day.

POULTRY NOTES

Keep chicks out of the wet grass.
The boarder hen always jumps her
board bill. Give her the crate.
Geese grow fast, and need no feed
In the summer IL they have a grassy
run.
Filth causes more sickness than
anything else. Clean up and keep
things clean!
Laying hens and hens being fat
tened for market should not be kept
in the same pen.
A cement floor is considered best
for the permanent laying-house as 1t
lasts a long time and Is easily cleaned
and keeps out rats.

ket. The flesh is white and makes fine

White Holland turkeys are said to
be the best layers, as a rule, among the
turkey family. In some focks the
hens will not go broody or hatch; or,
if they do, it will be only after the
season is far advanced. Other speci-
mems Will want to sit before laying q
dozen eggs and some have raised two
broods in a season. One nan Is re-
ported to have owned four turkey hens
which laid 264 eggs during the season,
while one Of them raised a brood In
July. Like all other breeds the white
birds must have proper care and prop
er feed to be profitable. Colds, lice
and filth and general neglect will be
fatal.

Former Governor W. II. Stubbs Is
fearful that a newspaper trust exists
In Kansas and that this trust may
become detrimental to the liberties
of the people. The position OF
Brother Stubs seems to be much
the same as that Of the Republicans
in Saline county in POpulist days as
described by Swede statesman.
This Swede lived In an election pre-
cinct that was peopled almost entire
ly by his countrymen. In comment
ing on the campaign and the results
Of the election, this Swede observed !:
Before de election de Republicans
day koom down to Smoky View and
day talk about de noble, liberty low
ing Scandinavians, but after de cleo
tion day say de damed treacherous
Swedes knife de ticket" 1t was all
right when the majority Of Kansas
newspapers were supporting Brother
Stubbs. The liberties Of the people
were then safe and the political
goose hung at the required altitude,
but with these same newspapers sup
porting w. Y. Morgan for governor,
all is changed from the Stubbs point
Of view.-Jack Harrison.

QUEER COUNTRY THIS

The action OF the government III
allowing sale Of liquor on It's ships
after the announcement that Amer
lean ships should be dry "around the
world" Is stirring up o glorious mess.
The real facts are that IL was found
that passengers would not travel on
"dry" ships and the United states
boats we're going back and forth with
nobody aboard but a few missionar-
les travelling half fare. SO 1t quiet
ly threw open the bars and sells
whiskey and everything else drink
able as soon as the ships are three
miles OF shore. The ships do not
pay their way and the government
Ia losing millions a month trying to
keep them going. The argument
that IL liquor 10 wrong for the coun-
try within the three mile limit, 1t is
wrong Just outside Of 1t Will be
raised by many persons who do not
the ins and outs OF poll
tics. It helps expenses to sell booze
and the government -is going to make
all It can--that seems to be the real
basis of the action causing all the
excitement.
A rather curious feature is that
AZ passengers did not believe that
the government would 90 into the IL
luor business on Its own ships the
contracts for tickets provide that If
the bar is not open the fare Will be
refunded. Spending hundreds OF
millions to stop liquor selling inside
.he three mile limit and selling 1t
openly outside the line is rather
curious situation for the government

idence In is real prohibition ideals.
