ROAD PROGRAM UNCHANGED

Selection of Yakima as the convea-
ton city for the 1926 meeting of the
Washington Good Roads association
was made at the, closing session of the
1925 meeting in Hoquiam last Sat-
urday. Following the election of Of
ficers, the association passed a resolu-
ton favor.ng the completion OF the
present outlined state highway system
before any new projects wee adopted.
This action probably means that the
further development of the north and
south Highway will have to be done
at the expense of Grant and Benton
counties. The Good Roads associa-
ton is voluntary organization and
its Recommendations are not manda-
tory but at bess only advisory. Yet
the legislature III the past has follow
ed closely these Recommendations and
it is quite likely they will do so again
this year. The ten year program
adopted by the association some time
ago was made for the purpose of
taking the road building Of the state
out of politics and putting it on "a
business basis BY keeling the expen-
ditures within the anticipated income,
and in this it has succeed with the
result that this state has probably
the best highway system Of any state
in the Union. Yet in ten year
period, with constantly changing con-
ditions, the need Of highways not in
the program is great and it would
seem that some way should be pro-
vided to include these.

UP 70 COMMISSIONERS

T. ]. Stockdale of Prosser was in
White Bluffs last Saturday securing
signatures to a petition urging the
county commissioners to give careful
consideration tc&the needs Of new
court house at this time and if they
find that such a need exists, to proceed
with the plans of the building. There
was some talk a while back Of having
a special election this fall to let the
voters in the county decide the ques-
ton but it appears that there is no
law authorizing the commissioners to
expend county funds for such an
election, which puts the question of
building solely up to the commits
sioners. All three commissioners are
said to be convinced in their own
minds that if the county records are
to be properly safeguarded, the build
ing of new court house is the prac-
teal and economical thing to do but
they hesitate to take such action with
out some definite expression from the
voters.
Mr.. Stockdale said he secured a
large number of signatures to the
petition in White Bluffs.

TuRNAGAIN POINT

F. c. Koppen has deceived official
notice from the postoffice department
that the transportation of mail be-
tween Wahluke and Corfu will be dis
continued on September 18th and that
after that date the Wahluke office will
be served from the White Bluffs Of
flee. The rural carrier from White
Bluffs will deliver mail to a point on
this side of the river and it will be
carried across in boat, Henry Glanz-
man having been awarded the contract
70. carrying the mail across the river.
The service from Corfu was twice a
week and under the new arrangement
it will be three times, a week. The
point at which the rural carrier will
exchange mail has been designated by
the department, at Mr.. Koppen's sug-
gest;on, "Tuanagain Point"

HEN MANURE.

A ton of fresh hen manure should
contain about % pounds of nitrogen,
20 pounds of phosphoric acid and 10
pounds of potash as a general average.
When air-dry, hen manure should con-
tain about 40 pounds of nitrogen, 40
pounds of phosphoric acid and 20
pounds Of potash in the ton. Fresh
manure from fattening cattle should
contain Is pounds of nitrogen, pounds
of phosphoric acid and 10 pounds of
potash per ton, while as a general
average, mixed barnyard manur
after exposure to the weather in open
yards, is estimated to contain 10
pounds of nitrogen, 6 pounds of phos-
phoric acid and 10 pounds of potash
to the ton. A ton of dry hen manure is
therefore worth approximately as
much as four tons of average yard
manure.
Many persons propose to mix ashes
with hen manure, but no material con
tanning lime, in the form in which it
is contained in ashes. should be mixed
with moist manure, as the lime will
cause the liberation of a considerable
part of the nitrogen in the manure,
and it will escape as ammonia gas.
Ashes and dry hen manure may be
mixed Immediately before applying
the manure, as the ammonia will most
ly be absorbed and held by the soil.
The proper material to mix with ma
nure is acid phosphate, as this serves
TO fix the ammonia instead of liherat-
ing it and also reenforces the anu
With phosphorus, which is the element
most needed by most Ohio soils. Acid
phosphate, sprinkled over the dropping
boards, will reduce the loss of am
menia and increase the effectiveness
Of the manure
A mixture of $50 pounds of dry hen
manure. $50 pounds of acid phosphate
and 100 pounds unIeached hardwood
ashes will contain practically the same
quantities of ammonia, phosphorie
acid and potash as would be carried
IN, 800 pounds of a 2-10-2 fertilizer.
By using a sand sieve and a wooden
pestile to ~pulverize the manure such
a mixture may be applied with the
ordinary fertilizer drill, and if the
ashes are not added until within a
few days Of the application there will
be no appreciate loss of ammonia.
Coal ashes have practically no fertiI-
izing value, but may sometimes be
used with advantage in loosening a
compact clay soil, or as a mulch
around small fruits in the garden

Crops Not Affected BY Moon.

Scientists ere now convinced that
the moor has no mor influence on
crops than it has upon the tempera
ture or the amount of rain or the
winds or any other weather clement.
The growth of plants depends upon the
amount of food in the soil and in the
air that is available for them and
upon temperature, light, and moisture.
The noon obviously does not affect
the character of the soil in any way,
neither does it affect the composition
of the atmosphere. The only remain
ing way in which It could influence
plant growth, therefore, is by its light.
Recent experiments, however, show
that full daylight is about 600, 900
times brighter than full moonlight,
yet when a plant gets 1-100th part of
normal daylight 1t thrives little bet
ter than in absolute darkness. If
1-100th part of normal daylight is thus
too little to stimulate a plant, it seems
quite certain that a 600, 000th part can
not have any effect at all. 1t is there
fore a mere waist of time to think
about the moon in connection with
the planting of crops. The moon,
a Y the scientists, has nothing more
to do with the building of fences, the
time for killing hogs, or any other of
the innumerable things ver which it
was once supposed to exert a strong
influence.

HAS FINE, DRY Barn
PROVIDED BY NATURE.

Cave With Entrance Large Enough to
Admit Team-Handy Chute for
Hay and Grain.
Jesse l. Wilson, a farmer neal ST.
loan Springs, Ark, has been provided
by nature with a barn, stable and
granary all in one-a cave, the en-
traroe of which is just large enough
to let a go in abreast. Within
the cave widens and the roof becomes
higher, allowing plenty of room for
stable use, with bins which he has
erected for the storage of grain and
hay.
Wilson'S farm is on the fiat top OF
a hill, and the cave opens up in the
top lodges of rock and extends back
under his field.
At a point just outside of the field
there is a large chimney that extends
from the top Of the ground into the
cavern underneath. At the bottom of
this he has erected a wide platform
with sides in the form of a great bin.
When "haying," a mar is placed in the
cave, who places the hay t o one side
cave, who places the hay to one side
then, when he is ready to place his
grain in the natural granary it is sini-
ply allowed to slide down the smooth
wall Of the chimney into the bin,
where it is allowed to remain.
The cavern is 'dry as dust" and as
Wilson has built a waterproof cover
ing over the chimney it makes a sp1en-
did place for storage of feed. He has
a double door built into the rock sides
Of the entrance, which he keeps lock
ed to prevent theft.

GETTING Rid Of BATS.

We have had considerable trouble
with rats in old buildings and espe-
clally in the cellar. Last fall, a year
ago, after we had placed our apples
in the cellar for the winter, the
rats destroyed several bushels. We
tried some patent preparation for kill
ing rats, but they did not seem to get
any scarcer, and when we had placed
the little chickens in outdoor brood
ers, the rats got into q brooder n
night and killed almost the entire lot.
So last fall before we placed the ap-
pies in the cellar, we bought g ferret
and kept it about the house a few
DAYS and then removed it to the barn.
Whenever we find any sign OF a rat
about any Of the ont buildings, we lei
tho ferret loose about it for = short
limo. we have not teen troubled
with rats this winter but our neigh
bors say .'they are just about eaten
M with them" The ferret is such 2
deadly enemy to rats that they VIII
not stay anywhere near one.
This seems to me to he the most
practical plan Of getting rid of rats,
for in poisoning them one is liable TO
poison other animals, either by their
eating the poison directly or by eat
ing the poisoned rats. Every farm
should have its pen of ferrets, for they
are not only useful in Kidding a place
of rats, but are profitable when raised
to sell.

Many beginners in poultry raising,
as well as ONE poultrymen of expe-
rience make the mistake Of trying to
real young stock by certain hard and
fast rules. While they may raise a
certain percentage of chicks in this
way, they would have a greater mea-
sure of success in using judgment and
applying the methods that would best
meet existing conditions.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-10-22
Give the Turkey
a Show.

A good market turkey dates farther
back than the cgg-back to the parent
stock; and its quality Is due in grcax
measure to their health and vigor and
the care thcy received. Disease is
making a great inroad on turkeys. n
some localities they cannot be raisoI
prontably 1T all because Of disease.
Ten hens can be successfully kept
with one tom. Hens two years old or
older lay larger eggs than pullets End
the poults are stronger, but the year.
ling hens lay more eggs, beginning
early and sometimes refusing to sit
until late in the summer, if at all.
Poults Matched in May and June make
the best turkeys both for market and
for breeders. The late ones are scarce.
" worth fussing with. A hen that has
proved herself a good quiet home-lov-
ing mother Is worth keeping as long
as she lives. Like an old sheep, she
will lead the flock to pasture and
home again to bed, if she has been
properly trained, without aid from tie
keeper.
About March l we put the turkeys
on "short ~rations," Inducing them to
take all the exercise possible. Nests
are placed in fence corners and Sc
cluded places where the hens will find
them when ready to Law. Almost in
variably the first clutches are laid in
these nests, saving all the bother of
searching for hidden eggs in the fields
or woods. The eggs are gathered and
kept from chilling until a turkey
wishes to set. Turkey hens raise
much better poults than chicken hens,
for the reason that they never wear
watch over them days until they are
nearly grown. Many a poor little
poult never comes to be a beautiful

not the right start In life. He does

Indigestion, an enlarged liver and
numerous otaer ills, and soue fine
morning we find him with his little
toes pointed toward the north star. In
the wild state little turkeys spend the
first few weeks of their lives in the
woods and live on insects and seeds.
They have to exercise to get food and
consume only a small quantity at q
time. We cannot follow nature ex-
actly, but we can use good sense if we
will. A raw egg is natures food for
a young bird. More than that it is
easily digested and, like insects, 1t is
a meat food, therefore a good substi-
Whenever we find n sign of a rat
baking food and will not harden In
the bowels and cause trouble. Sour
milk is, medicinal to turkeys and
chicks also, and is a protein food. The
three can be combined in a mash,
made rather dry, never sloppy, and
make an excellent starter for the little
poults. This alone is their food for
three weeks, fed in small quantities
on a clean board. For the first three
days they are better shut in the coop
with the mother, but after that they
should romp at will in the dry grass.
Grain Is given, only a little at first,
and gradually increased until it forms
one whole feeding, preferably at night,
and after they are large enough to
wander over a wide range feeding
is sufficient each day. Wheat and
cracked corn are perhaps the best
grains. :.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-10-22
Green Food for Chickens

If the poultry is confined in a small
yard without grass they should be
given lawn clippings or other weeds
from the garden. Feed the green food
as soon as it is cut and the fowls will
enjoy it more than if it is very much
wilted when they get 1t. All this will
tend to produce greater egg produc-
ton, and after all that is the prime
object in raising poultry.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-10-22
Corn RepIanter.

A good substitute for a hand corn
planter is to sharpen the end of an old
plow handle and stick 1t down where
the hill or check should be, drop in
the grain, then step on the hill or
opening to cover the seed. There viii
be better check than if a hoe is used
and the job is much more quickly
done in this way.

One morning as little Jack Rabbit
hoped through the Shady Forest, up
the Winding Trail farther and farth-

stream. Maybe it was a part of the
Bubbling Brook before it reached the
Forest Pool. All of sudden he saw
Mrs. Otter swimming swiftly toward
the bank.

wishing to speak to her, for it had
been a long time since he had met

claimed Mrs. Otter, climbing up on
the bank, her rich, glossy brown fur
on the upper part of her graceful
body sparkling with water drops,

long neck toward the little rabbit,
she showed him the furry sole of one
of her strongly clawed, webbed feet.
