 Nation
FAIRFIELD BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD !

A
 The mayor and council of Fairfield have set October as the time when any protests may be made against the plan of the city to pave Parkway from Forty-first street to it's ter minus, Mayor Melford w. Pratt an- nounced Friday that the city in- tended to go ahead with the work and that the paving would be pre- pared whether it was agreeable to all residents or not, at the same time protests and, reasons for changes will De given the closest attention and consideration. Mayor Pratt said in connection with the work that the administration wanted to do those things that would improve Fairfield to the greatest extent and that the unanimous opinion seemed to prevail that paving Parkway would be one cf the most forward steps that could be taken at this time. The area to. be paved is of chert and the perma- nent paving will add not only to the appearance of the city, but will add to the value of all properties facing that avenue. Mayor Pratt indicated that so far no one had offered any objections to the paving and the council felt there would not be any one to object to such a manifestly needed improvements. The city, it is stated, has, several paving projects under adyisement which will be taken up between now and October l, but no announcement will be made aunt1l the ordinances are drawn.

Increased Yield Due to
Use Of Acid Phosphate

According to G. j. Williams, director
of the Ohio experiment station, the
addition of 800 pounds Of acid phos-
phate plus eight tons of barnyard ma
nure brought about yield Of 1851
bushels more corn. 81 bushels more
wheat, 92O pounds more clover, 535
pounds more slower, and GA pounds
more straw in three years than did the
manure without the acid phosphate.
Valuing the corn at so cents bushel,
wheat at 81. clover at $40, stover at 81,
and straw at 81 per ton, the increased
yield due to the 800 pounds of acid
phosphate, had value of $3.50. This
is an increase of 500 per ton for the
acid phosphate used, showing big
profit from the use Of this constituent.
1t isn't necessary to get so large an
increase in yields as this test showed
to make the supplementing of barn
yard manure with acid phosphate
profitable and the chances are that
results would not always be so profit
able, but even with half this increase
in returns, balancing the manure with
acid phosphate would be quite worth
while.

Intestinal Parasites
Should Be Prevented

prevention rather than cure is the
best recommendation for treatment Of
worm troubles in pigs. It is surpris-
ing what other troubles can be started
from this one source. Soon after the
eggs of parasites are swallowed, they
hatch and the new worms pass
through the walls of the intestines and
are carried into the lungs, where they
may cause thumps, coughing, pneu-
monia, and even stunt growth in young
pigs, or cause death in severe cases.
One of the best methods Of prevent
ing worm troubles is to clean thor
Oughly all the pens, scrubbing them
with boiling water and lye before the
Htters or sows are placed in them. The
sows should be kept fairly clean, also,
and the newly narrowed pigs should be
kept entirely away from old lots and
any material soiled with the droppings
of infested hogs.
The sow and pigs should not be al
lowed outside until they are placed on
fresh clean pasture not recently
grazed by other hogs. A leguminous
or fresh bluegrass pasture or a special
forage crop is desirable. Clean drink
ing water, a frequent shifting of the
feeding ground and regular change of
bedding are essential. No mud holes
should be allowed to develop.

Spray Used to Control
Many Foliage Diseases

Spraying can be used for the con-
troll of many foliage and fruit diseases
Of garden and truck crops. If the crop
is grown on large scale, large trac-
ton or power sprayers should be used,
but small hand sprayers are suitable
for gardens. The most satisfactory
spray material for most diseases that
can be controlled in this way is bor-
deaux mixture. The strength of the
solution will vary with the plants to
be treated. It is sometimes desirable
to spray the seedlings in the seed
beds. Tomato seedlings can be sprayed
with a weak solution (about 2-3-5O) of
bordeaux mixture. The addition of 8
pounds of resin fish oil soap to each
so gallons of the mixture is advan-
tageous. A stronger solution can be
used on seedlings grown in the open
than on those grown under glass.
Spray mixtures should be applied
with sufficiently high power to pro-
duce a very fine mist. The under as
well as the upper surface of the fol-
iage should be covered if possible.
Paris green or arsenate of lead for
killing insects can be added to the
bordeaux mixture without inturing
either material.

Amount Of Damage Done
by Plant Lice Is Large

The comparatively insignifcant-look-
ing plant louise is perhaps individually
of little consequence, but it is just
about the greatest multiplier on earth
and by the hosts which assemble on
shrubbery, garden plants, and all 9TH
er foliage, an enormous amount of
damage is done.
Control measures must be inaugural
ed early, at least before the curling
of the leaves. 1t is hard to get rid Of
plant lice after the leaves have be-
come tightly cur1ed as they are sure
to become if the plant lice are allowed
to have their way.
On cucumbers, melons, etc., where
lice are found, excellent results have
been had with nicotine or tobacco dust
thoroughly applied The nicotine sui
plate Of 40 per cent strength diluted
at the rate of a teaspoonful Of the
nicotine sulphate to gallon of soapy
water, is also excellent.
The point which must be remem-
bered in spraying to control plant
lice is thoroughness.
Spray the upper and under surface
of the leaves thoroughly. Be sure
to hit all of the insects. This will re-
quire a fine, mist-like spray applied
with considerable pressure. Remember
that it is only the insects that are hit
by the spray that are killed.

Increasing Demand for
Fowls of Heavy Breeds

There is a shortage of good poultry
throughout the country, and this is es-
pecially so in heavy breeds, for which
an increasing demand has been mo-
ticed. The good old Plymouth Rock
still keeps on in popular favor, Rhode
Island Reds coming fast, due to a
wonderful speciality club, and backed
by a lot Of good breeders. White Wy
andottes are coming fast, the leading
breeders being unable to fill orders,
and the Buff Orpingtons also coming
steady, with the prospects Of gaining
unusual strength next winter in the
East. The ever-popular, so-called egg
machine, the White Leghorn, still
holds its own, especially in the zones
where a premium is paid for white
shelled egg. One breed that will come
stronger is the Ancona. Its field, SO
far, has been In the West and on the
coast. butt its merits are becoming
known in the East and South, and 1t
will soon take strong hold. Laying
a white-shelled egg of good size, hardy
as the White Leghorn, good sized, 9
good grower, it should take it's place
among the leaders of egg producers
in this zone

Cut Alfalfa When New
Shoots Begin to Appear

.Under average weather conditions
alfalfa should be cut when the new
shoots begin to appear at the crown"
says A. G. Army Of the farm crops sec
ton, University farm. 'sThese shoots
are yellowish white in color and may
be easily seen at the base of the al
falfa plant. If the weather has been
very dry for time previous to the
date the crop would usually be cut,
the appearance of these new shoots
will be delayed more than the devel-
opment of the crop itself Under such
conditions it is well to watch the stage
of blossom and cut when approximately
one-tenth of the flowers have appeared.
Delay in cutting the first or second
crop makes the subsequent crops cut
the same year later. Alfalfa may be
narrowed with a spring tooth harrow
or other similar implement Immediate
ly after the first or second crop has
been removed. This narrowing aids
in keeping down grasses that ruin the
stands Of alfalfa.

Disinfectants to Kill
Lice on Cows and Calves

A good method of getting rid of
lice on cows and calves is to get q
good scrub brush and then prepare a
solution of one of the coal tar disin-
fectants or sheep dips. Creolin is good
and it should be added to warm water
until the solution is quite milky. Rub
this solution in with the brush, taking
particular pains to get it on the af-
fected parts. A Sprayer can be used
but is not as effective as brush. The
work had best be done on a warm,
sunny day in order to prevent chilling
or catching cold. Another good remedy
is to rub on back Of the horns and
ears, where the animals cannot lick
it, a small quantity Of mercurial ONT
ment Care should be taken not to
use too large quantity Of this prep
aration, as it may be absorbed by the
system and salivate the animal treated.
It will be impossible to get rid Of
the lice If the quarters where they
are kept are not treated also. Spray
with coal tar solution Bedding and
refuse removed ought to be burned
or hauled to field where animals will
not come in contact with it. After
this is done scatter lime around the
floors and whitewash the walls and
ceilings, if you care to go to this
trouble. Unless the quarters are
cleaned and disinfected there will be
reinfection of treated animals when
they are put back.

Important to Keep in
Mind Value Of Woodlot

Even though the woodlot may be
in the toughest and most nearly
worthless land on the place, it is just
as important to keep it's value in mind
as to keep in mind the value of any
other crop.
Watch the market conditions, or sup
ply and demand carefully, as the price
varies considerably at frequent inter-
walls.
A second consideration is the sort
of timber you have. Perhaps this
really ought to be the first considera-
ton, for of course some timber is
worthless for saw logs. Furthermore,
the cost Of cutting, hauling to the mill,
and saving and transferring to the
shipping point must be carefully con-
sidered.
The amount of salable trees in a
woodlot may be estimated by counting
the trees individually, or if the wood
lot is a large one, estimate the salable
timber in representative section, then
estimate the total from your findings
there.
When the wood is being taken out
it generally pays to supervise the
work to at least some degree.

Good Care Means
Bigger Pig Crop
Sow Should Be Placed in
Separate Pen Few Days
Before Due to FarroW.


The size of the pig crop is deter
mined by the number Of pigs saved,
not by the number narrowed. A large
Increase in the crop will often be Sc
cured by proper care of the SOW for
a few days previous to narrowing.
The SOW should be placed in a sep
arate pen several days before she is
due to farrow. Essentials of good
narrowing quarters are cleanness,
warmth, dryness and freedom from
drafts. There should be guard rails
along the sides of the pen to give the
young pigs a chance to escape being
crushed against the walls or caught
under the SOW when she lies down.
Poles or 2x4's placed around the in
side Of the pen about eight inches
above the floor and four inches out
from the wall make very satisfactory
guard rails and are inexpensive and
easy to install.
Bedding should be provided, but
only little, particularly if it is long
hay or straw, as the young pigs may
become entangled in it and crushed
before they can escape.
Exercise Is Safeguard.
Exercise, and a reduced grain ra-
ton, with some laxative feed added,
are safeguards against constipation,
any tendency to which is dangerous.
A constipated SOW will not recover
from narrowing as quickly, and will
be feyerish and restless, often injur-
ing her pigs and in some cases eat
ing them.
If the narrowing quarters are not
roomy enough to allow the sows to
move about freely, exercise may be
given by turning those that are up
out in yard together for part of
the day. Let them work over some
alfalfa or clover hay, or gather up a
little coarse grain scattered on the
ground
Reduce Grain Ration.
The grain ration should be reduced
one half, and some laxative feed
added, such as linseed meal or wheat
bran, as soon as the SOW is placed in
the narrowing pen. A good rule is to
reduce the grain allowance one half
and make one third by weight of this
reduced allowance wheat bran. The
allowance should be still further re
duced just before narrowing, giving
not more than one pound, or about a
quart, to the feed.
And last, but not least, few night
trips to the hog house during farrow.
ing season will save many a litter
A SOW will usually farrow within Il
hours after beginning to arrange a
nest; and the time required for occa.
sional observation of the pens dur
ing the day and few trips on the
nights narrowing is expected, will otter
be time proftably spent.-L. G. Brown

Poultry Notes

The wise poultryman knows that
the early bird catches the best proflts.
The greatest enemy of disease is
cleanliness and freedom from drafts
and dampness.
The Anconas are good layers and
are classed along with the Leghorns
In egg production.
sunflowers make good shade and the
seeds viii be mighty valuable in the
autumn for the melting hens.
No one grain alone will keep the
turkeys in good condition unless they
have the run Of the barn and can pick
up other food therein.
A well-developed, vigorous, young
tom usually proves a good breeder, but
females less than year old should
never be bred from.
Enough eggs are wasted through
careless handling every year to make
fifty men millionaires. Fresh, clean,
well-packed eggs bring special profits.
Feeds for newly-hatched geese and
ducks should contain large per cent
of green's from the start. No feed
should be given for the first twenty
four hours after Matching.

is made of reinforced concrete. The
walls should be made inches thick,
but reinforced with ss inch rods at g.
inch intervals both crosswise and
lengthwise. Any roughness or mac
curacies in the wall surface may be
removed by applying a coat of cement
paint made by mixing cement in water
to the consistency of cream or a brick

cities drank or ate in some form or
