Many Young Chicks Die
Every Year From Gapes

Many thousand young chicks die
every year from gapes. The disease
is caused by parasitic worm which
attaches itself to the walls of the wind
pipe This worm is sometimes called
the forked worm by reason of the fact
that the male and female are so firm
ly united that at first glance they. have
the appearance of one worm with two
heads. The worms suck blood from
the mucous membrane, thus weakening
the chick They also clog the windpipe,
which interferes with breathing.
The first symptoms of the disease
are coughing and sneezing. Soon the
chicks begin to cape, plainly showing
that they are unable to get sufficient
air. Gapes spread rapidly. The female
in the windpipe develops large num-
Der of eggs, which are coughed up by
the chick, or else are swallowed, pass
ing through the intestines and being
voided with the droppings. In its eff
forts to rid itself of the obstruction in
its windpipe, the chick often coughs up
live worms.

RESTING Brass Pine.

One of the most interesting checks
on the temper and chemical character
istics Of brass pipe is the ability Of
the chemist to look inside the metal
with the aid of microscope and see
the grain structure of the brass itself.
To the experienced eye of the brass
chemist the formation. size and color
of the grain will tell many things about
the metal. They will show the temper,
of the brass, and it is many times pos
sibIe to detect dangerous stresses
which leave pipe liable to season
cracks. The manufacture of brass
pipe has made great progress since
the old days when the metal was cast
by the II hope so" rather than the
81 know why" process. Brass making
is a scientific business and brass pipe
Is now produced constant in alloy,
standard in temper, with dangerous
stresses removed by scientific heat

HOMEGROWN Feeds Best
for Production of Eggs

Commercial chicken feeds to stimu-
late egg production are not used by
the majority of the leading poultry
men of Iowa. That fact was brought
out in the recent survey made by the,
poultry extension men of Iowa state
college.
A QUESTIONABLE was sent out to the
leading poultrymen OF the state and
81 reports were received OF these 81.
there were "a who had never used
commercial feeds for stimulating egg
production. OF the % who had used
commercial feeds, IL stated that they.
believed the feeds were valuable and
the other IL stated that the feeds were
not beneficial
The Iowa poultry department at
Ames recommends the following
Scratch feed: parts corn, / part
of wheat and / of oats.
Dry mash: / part ground corn, 2
parts ground oats, l part gluten, II
tankage. Sour milk or buttermilk
could take the place of tankage.
Green feeds. as cabbage, sprouted
oats. steamed alfalfa hay are bene-
fetal. Fresh, clean water is essential
Gravel or crushed stone are necessary
for grit Oyster shell supplies the hen
with material needed to form egg

BETTER
ROADS
Franks of Temperature
Ruin Expensive Roads

Jack Frost and Merry Sunshine are
wrfnkling the brows of highway en-
gineers and contractors. Their pranks
are running expensive hard-surfaced
and paved highways.
During the winter months frost pene-
trates deep under the road surface,
freezing and refreezing the subsoil nu-
merous times. Then, just like freezing
water breaks the water pipe, the sub
soil bulges up and cracks the surface
of the highway. Rain and slush seeps
through these cracks, freezes again.
and the process of destruction goes
merrily on.
When spring comes the final touches
are put on the breaking up of the road.
The spring rains rush through the
yawning cracks aud wash away the
subsoil, leaving hollow shell. The
warm sunshine aids in the destruction.

tie. 1t is no time then until the road
crumbles away under the heavy traffic
impacts.
Highway engineers of big rubber
concern travel and transport bureau
declare that rapidly-increasing high
way travel is focusing the attention OF
road-building experts to this underlying
cause of highway destruction. They
say that governmental and private
agencies have, in the past ten years,
lost sight of adequate subgrade soil
treatment in their eagerness to produce
hard, wear-resisting surfaces for high
ways.
Men prominent in highway develop
ment, say the bureaus experts. now
recognize the urgent need of spending
the necessary time and money to build
proper road foundations and drainages
before expensive stretches of highway
are constructed. Searching study and
analysis of subsoiIs will figure more
prominently in future road-building
than any other phase of the work, they
say.

Corn Is Probably Best
Single Fattening Food

Any rations compounded of such fat
tening foods as corn, oats, buckwheat,
barley and wheat Will give good results
in poultry fattening. Corn is probably
the best single fattening food, but
gives better results when combined
with other grains. Under farm condi-
tions the simple rations will usually
give the most satisfactory results, as
they are easily mixed and handled.
Since the finishing ration is essen
TALLY fattening ration, fattening
foods should be supplied. Cornmeal
and milk or beef scraps are usually
used as their base. A ration composed
Of six parts cornmeal, one part beef
scrap and four parts middlings is very
satisfactory for fattening. By its use
about one and one-half pounds have
been added to roasters in two weeks.
In range fattening the ration is large
" grain. Usually corn is used, not be-
cause of better gains secured, but be-
cause it is inc onvenient to feed wet
mash to birds having the liberty of the
barn. Fattening rations should be fed
wet, preferably moistened with sour
milk. since milk gives excellent re-
suits. The ground feeds should be
used as far as possible Experiments
show that they are superior to gains
produced to whole grains.
In the case Of pen feeding, corn
moistened with water or sour milk is
often used to supplement the ration

Difficult to Eradicate
tuberculosis in Flock

Tuberculosis in fowls can be elm
mated only by disposing of the in
fected stock, Treatment is imprac
tical and of no value in the control OF
the disease. To eradicate the disease:
1. Replace the entire flock as soon
as possible with healthy birds raised
on unaffected ground.
2. Kill and burn all birds showing
symptoms of tuberculosis.
8. Put dropping boards in poultry
houses and keep them clean.
4. Get plenty of fresh air and light
into the poultry house.
S. Get rid of old fowls.
6. Burn and bury deep all dead
birds.
Z. Plow up and sow down land when
practical.

More Autos Registered
Increase Highway Fund

In 1922 motor vehicle registrations
more than maintained the rate of
rapid Increase which has caused the
total registration to grow from $780,
600 in 1916 to 12.23S,375 knotor cars
and trucks at the end of 1922, accord
ing to the bureau of public roads. Last
year the increase amounted to Ito"
$50 registrations, as compared with an
average yearly rate of approximately
100000 for the preceding five years.
The table issued by the bureau gives
registrations by states which total as
follows for the whole United States:
Private passenger cars .... 10,S90,ll2
Taxicabs, busses, and cars
for hire .............-..- o,foo
Motor trucks and commercial
cars 1,Z4o,oV4
Trailers 29,32S
Motorcycles ...... 1872, TIA
A comparison of the truck registra-
ton figures with those for the preced-
ing year shows an increase of 30 per
cent, indicating that this phase of
highway transport is undergoing rapid
development. The increase in truck
registration is not confined to indus
trial sections. Such agricultural states
as Virginia. Indiana and Florida show
increases of 80 per cent, 80 per cent
and % per cent respectively, which
seems to indicate that many farmers
are changing their method of hauling
as a result of road improvement.
The total gross registration revenue
amounted to 152,047, 1913, of which
SLIT ,O93, 116 was applied to road work
under the supervision of the state
highway departments. Eighteen states
taxed gasoline. deriving a revenue OF
81, 1923, 442, not all of the states re-
porting for full twelve-month period.
OF this amount, $6,474,178 was spent
under the supervision of the state
