"5 A CARD FROM MR. MINES Editor Hertford Herald, Dear Sir: I noticed in yj*ur paper of last week, an editorial concerning the street and road work being done in and aroand Ahoakie. Relative to the dragging and harrowing of roads with high-powered trucks, 1 beg to advise ?hat no truck of higher power than a Ford has pulled a harrow on any road in the county. We did har row a little in Harrellsville township with a Ford truck, but a Ford truck ? is not made to pull a drag or harrow either. The Mack trucks have been pulling drags when we c^uty get out at all. 1 will admit as you say that the trucks cosl more than .a Fordson tractor. In the first place it is against the State law to run a Fordson or any other tractor with cleats on the wheels on any public road, second, plate, they were not made to do road work and if put to the work that the trucks will do, would not last at the very longest over sixty days, without repairs that would amount to the Ant cost of the tractor. You say tl)e trucks cost around three thousand dollars and the Fordson tractor six to eight hundred dollan, but you are mistaken. The trucks cost about four thousand and the tractor abaut Ave hundred; about seven and one half times leas. I have never known a Fordson ? tractor to do heavy road work for more than two months but I do know a Mack that has been doing road work for more than six yean every day that weather was so that they could get out With it and the only repairs have been the drive chains and the cost of operating it is . the same as the Fordson. I too be lieve that every taxpayer in the county should know where every pen ny of the public money goes and should try to see that they get all that is possible for it; therefore I ask every reader of this paper to ask any reputable road builder who buys his own equipment and pays for it out of hit own poekst, if the Agures here are not ninety nine per cent, correct. There is one' tractor?the Holt Catapillar, tea tons,- that will do real road work, -that costs $4,260. but tie track they ran on will last only from forty to sixty days and a new traek costs $080 at the factory. I would thank this paper to write to any of the real road people about ' this matter and print their replies for the beneAt of the people of Hert ford county. Respectfully, F, G. HINES. o HOW DO YOU LISTEN ? TO SCANDAL? Wen scandalous or unpleasing stories are told to yon, do you first consider the source or do you believe them first and investigate after? Some persons are so gullible that they believe everything anyone says in their hearing. Others are so glad to get some thing on one of their friends or neighbors that they do not care to investigate to know whether the tales are true or not That seems a rather hard state ment, but when so many things are circulated that are false it seems as the truth might have been known had any one inquired. When anyone come to you with a malicious story about any one you know, if you will reply after this fashion?"Too bad. I certainly must see So and So (mentioning the name of the one slandered,) and give him, (or her). an opportunity to refute such a statement," you may be sur prised at how it affects the tale bearer. Just try this out your first oppor tunity, for it has been known to si lence the bitterest comment and stop, idle words whiclj no other way could do. The story which comes "just be tween ourselves" as they like to put it, should come under the same cate gory, when it turns out to be damag ing.?j. j. Mundy inRoanoke Times. To Ths Alumna.

DUCKS OR GT.ESE Han Will Always B? tha Laadar Among Farm Poultry. (Piwpwnd kr tkw Uattsd Ststw D?p*rtm.?l ?f AkrtcoKur. l Farmer* give rnheh attention to va rton* combination* and rotations oi crop*., endeavoring to secnre an ar rangement that 1* most profitable tot each Individual farm. They do the same In selecting the kinds and num bers of Hve stock. Bat not so much attention la paid to the selection of poultry to suit the peculiar condition! of farms und neighborhoods. The hen will always be the leader among farm poultry, says the United States De partment of Agriculture, but she re quires the aid of turkeys, guineas, geese and docks. Just as on a dairy farm the cow often requires the aid | of pigs aud sheep to make the farm I business most profitable. ! Ducks Gather Feed From Streams. Where grain fields of neighboring farms are In proximity to the barn and dooryard It would, perhaps, be better not to keep turkeys. The. farm through which no streams rOn, and which has no large pond, would prob ably be better without ducks. But the circumscribed farm, on which tur keys would be a disadvantage, may be supplied with a small pool so lo cated that duqks would .be profitable, and the farm that has no streams and poods may have large rang* for tur keys. ? Turkeys, ranging further afield, prey upon the Insects that escape tfce hens. From the time the poults are old enough to forage until near frost, they take the bulk of their feed from field Insects, devouring mllltoos of grasshoppers and other injarlous worms that fedd on crops. In regions where wooded areas are still fairly extensive mast is an important ltritt In the diet of the turkey. When the supply of Insects begins to fail the mast larder begins filling up. Feed ing on acorns, chestnuts, beechnut* and the like, turkeys will go a long way toward fattening themselves for the Thanksgiving or Christmas mar ket, and will not require much feed ing" of corn or other grain to finish them. Generally speaking, turkeys will require s larger feeding of grain than chickens to finish them for mar ket, but as they utilise forms of wasta that hens and their broods would not reach, the keeping of a few turkey.1 is good economy. The finishing period Is short Guinea fowls use still other kinds INCREASING SALES OF MILK r Campaign* Have B**n Inaugurated la Variatn taction* to i*o*t Dairy Product*. (Praparad by tho Unltbd Ktlu D*p*rtip*at ?t Acrteultan.) Consumption of milk 1* on the lu cre*?? ** * result of the milk cam paign of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and the state ag ricultural colleges and local agencies. Inaugurated to extend and Increase the use . of milk and other dairy prod ucts In cities, towns nnd rnrnl dls Cleanliness It Moat Essential in Pre. duction of'Milk. | ? trlcts. The Increase in sale* of milk a* a raoalt of these educational cam paigns carried on during the past gear In 11 sfates. 15 dtlea and 4 counties range from 8.6 to 38 per cent, th* average Increase being 15 per cent The health of the- children has been ! Improved while undernourishment has been reduced. Nutrition clinics have been bald, and underweight, pforty fed children have Improved greatly In health aa a conse quence of the more general and Intel ligent nse of milk as a dally food. In Kansas City a previous survey . showed a condition of SO per cent un it arnourUhraeot among the children, ^?hBe after the milk campaign and rag t of waste that would escape both hens , and turkeys. Taking a wider range than chickens, and yet not quite so wrae as turkeys, keeping largely to the thickets and weed patches, and committing fewer depredations against field and garden than either chickens or turkeys, requiring little feeding at ! any time, being good layers during ; their season of eggs that are thought by many to have a richer and finer flavor even than hen eggs, the guinea is a good fowl to keep on any farm where a serious effort la mad* to con vert all waste Into meat or eggs. Geese, In a larger measure than chickens, or any other kind of poultry, are grazing stock, taking their living In large part from the ordinary grasses of the pastures. When the facta are taken Into consideration that the de mand for geese la strong, steady, and extended practically over the entire year, not confined to the holiday sea sons as the demand for turkeys, that geese excel all other kinds of poultry as producers of fat, the importance of an adequate number of geeee In the poultry scheme becomes apparent On farms where ponds or straams are available, ducks will convert late meat and eggs great quautltlea of water Insect* and various aqdatlc formft that would not be utilised by any other kind of poultry. Ducks, while they consume large quantities of grass and other green stuff, are more partial to animal feeds and ara very energetic In patrolling the branch es, creeks, and ponds as sources of toed supply. Plgeone of Questionable Value. The one kind of poultry of .question able economic value on farms Is the pigeon. Almost exclusively s grain eater, the pigeon renders no Important service as a conserver of waste, ex cept, perhaps. In the case of shattered grain hi the fields, and that in a large measure would be taken up by other poultry and by pigs. The pig eon has Its place In the towns and cities, but, except tufteolated Instances where conditions arSrpeculiarly favor able, Its production Is not often de sirable on farms. Hie back-yard poultry keeper can hardly hope for success with turkeys, geese, ducks, or guineas, but for those who have lofts over garage, stable or coal shed the opportunity for squab, growing la worth considering. * / ular instruction in health habit*, a second Investigation showed that mal nutrition has been reduced to 15 per cent Of late milk campaigns have been held in Madlaoo, Wis.; Wheeling ? W. Va.; Seattle. Wash.; Greenvljle, S. C.; Akron, O.; Warren. O.: Winston-Salem. N. a. Springfield. Mass.; Oaktloooa. la.; Baltimore. M<L; Oakland county,' Michigan; Cumber land county, Maryland, and Jackson ville aad Duval county,. Florida. Despite disturbed industrial condi tions, increases in milk consumption have been effective, and even in places of much unemployment the quantity of milk consumption hds been kept up to fiormal. In nearly all caaea the milk consumption subsequent to the milk campaigns baa been greater than it ever waa before. SPACE REQUIRED BY CALVES Individual Pens Acs Good W(ten Farm er Can Afford Them?Labor le Exptnalva. Twenty to twenty-five square feet, I 'of floor space exclusive of mangers should be provided for calves under six months o\d. Individual pens are good when one can afford them, but they are more costly on account of the large amount of material peces sary for pen walls, apace required, nnd labor In cleaning them than pens holding four or five calves apiece. The latter are entirely satisfactory provided the calves are stanchioned while being fed. GIVE PIGS WORM TREATMENT Young Animals Should Be Looked After as Soon at Weaned? Clean Pasture Fevered. Pigs should always be given worm trsetmeat Immediately after weaning. If ueceauary give them u second dues two weeks after the first If they are then turned on u good alfalfa, clover or rape pasture und are fed grain In addition ?o that they remain thrifty there la Uttle danger of further trooMa from worms. In other words keeping bogs reasonably free from worms la ?not a difficult thing to do. If they are looked after at the proper tlama I':-' " V.jff ' '? .V-Qj v? PENN5 SPELLS CHEWING TOBACCO / A.
