VALUE OF IMPROVED ROADS Value of Farm Incressed by Getting Crops to Market Rapidly and Cheaply as Possible. The value of good roads Is becom ing more and more recognized In the 1 United Btates every day. Wise men I point to the fact that tap-line railroad spurs cannot be constructed In the I country for less than $75,000 a mile, and that the cost of these roust be paid by the commodity transported over them. The good roads do not cost so much snd are Just as efficient. Everything that makes It easier to get crops to the mnrket raises the value of farm I lands by mnklng them more profitable to the fanner.

CONCRETE SURFACE IN TASTE Types of Architecture May Be Con sidered That Could Be Attained Through No Other Medium. In building permanently It Is advis able to select a ty|>e of architecture that will not only avail Itself of the natural quality of the building mate rial, but will at the same time, be best adapted to an economical development. Simplicity of architectural lines rarely fnlls to give the quality of beauty. The dignified colonial houses of early New England and the Georgian houses of New York and Virginia offer models that mny be easily followed In perms- I nent materials. 80. too, are those pe culiarly American adaptations of the I Spanish, the California and mission I types susceptible to the same construc . tlon.

CHANGE RATIONS OF CHICKS Suitable Mixture Recommended for Youngster of Four Weeks—Va riety Is Needed. Chick feeds, as usually made up, are for small chicks only. A normal chick Of four weeks old has in a large meas ure outgrown chick feed. At this age, If not already started on something coarser, a mixture something like the following should be fed: One hundred pounds of chick feed, 25 pounds of whole wheat, 25 pounds of coarse cracked corn or kaflr corn. In a week or two the per cent of chick feed can bo reversed and soon entirely omitted. The Important thing is to change feeds gradually and let the period of change lap over a week or two. Do not try to make the change by giving occasional feeds, as ofj say, all whole wheat; rather mix the wheat in, an Indicated in the above formula. Any one grain fed alone is not sufficiently balanced to produce proper growth, and, on the other hand, is so concen trated in certain food elements as to be detrimental to proper digestion. MALES FIGHT MORE OR LESS When Yarded Together There Is Bure to Be Some Scrapping—Old Bird Maintains Peace. When cockerels are yarded together they are sure to fight more or less, especially toward the natural mating and breeding season. If they haven't enough vigor and vim to scrap they aren't of much value as breeders. On n farm where many game chick ens were raised the matured young male birds were kept in small flocks, linlf a dozen or so In each yard. To prevent any serious Injury an old male was confined with the youngsters In each yard. Ordinarily he didn't bother them, but if they started trouble among themselves he was In the midst in a hurry. He was simply bound to maintain peace among them if he hnd to light for it. Ills action soon frlghteued them out of their mimic war. The plan would probably prove as efTectlve with other breeds. If any youngster bad the temerity to dlsputo tile "boss" ho would probably soon get the conceit knocked out of him. PULLETS GIVEN FREE RANGE Although Fowls Will Oather Bugs and Worms They Must Be Qlven Suc culent Qreen Food. If the pullets are given free range they will gather bugs, worms and green food and get sufficient exercise to keep them healthy, but It is a se rious mistake to think that because a young chicken picks up a great deal while roaming about the farm It docs not need other food. Animal foods and succulent green food must be supplemented by some form of grain to produce satisfactory results.

The farm truck Is destined to play an Important part In the marketing of farm produce, but in the meantime much attention must be paid to the j roadways over which they are to be operated. In the opinion of W. H. San ders, Instructor In farm motors In the Kansas State Agricultural college. "To use a truck to advantage hard roads are necessary," said Mr. San- I ders. "Trucks have been used with marked success for a number of years on paved streets. Although they were used to transport food and water to the United States troops during the recent occupation of Mexico, the war department soon decided that hard roads were a requirement In operating trficks to the best advantage. "Use of a truck on "the farm saves time and reduces the number of men required to do the farm hauling. When a truck Is operated on the farm great er care will be used In laying out the fields so as to give a more efficient use of power expended. Time will be saved, because less time will be spent on the road between town and the farm. The number of farm hands will also bo reduced." PERMANENT ROADS IN FAVOR Money Bpent for Location, Grading and Drainage of Roads la Use ful Expenditure. Investing money In the proper loca tion, grading and drainage of roads is about the most permanently useful expenditure of public funds that can be made. Usually courthouses are considered typical of such an Invest ment, but a well-located road Is serv iceable for a far longer period. The courthouse Is outgrown at the end of a quarter century; If It continues In Road «f Bituminous Macadam. use longer It must be remodeled and the public officials in It clamor for bet ter quarters. But a road laid out on proper lines and grades serves the public forever, and on that account its location should be made by a com petent engineer. Furthermore, even the local ronds should be laid out with the same care, BO that as the country develops they will Improve with It and not require expensive purchases for new rights-of-way. Foresight In such matters will have valuable results within a comparatively few years In a country growing as fast aa the Unit ed States. FIRST ROAD UNDER U. S. AID Will Be Located In Apache National Forest, Arizona—Several Advan tages of Highway. The first national forest road to be constructed under the federal aid act will be located in the Apache National forest, Arizona, a survey for which has been authorized by Secretary Houston. The proposed road will be 71 miles In length and cost about $342,600, to be borne equally by the federal gov ernment and the local community. Among the advantages of the highway will be the opening up of enormous In dustrial resources and a magnificent recreation area for tourist travel. Influence of Automobile. The Influence of the automobile sp oil road Improvement Is constant and omnipresent. It reaches the remotest rural regions and tends to convert bad roads Into good and good roads Into better. Cost Is «SOO a Mile. The average cost for repair and maintenance of 7,900 miles of highway In Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Khode Island for the year Wl2 was about *BOO a mile. Grading and Drainage. The first step In the making of good roads is grading nnd draining. The next Is dragging, and the next step. In most localities, I s long aa the cost of a good grade of asphaltlc road oil re mains below 0 cents a gallon, will be oiling. Increase of Trunk Roads.

Doriiculiardl MANURE GOOD FOR ORCHARDS i No Other Fertility That Will Stimulate Growth on Treee Better Than Barnyard Manure After fruit trees bear a few years, If the soil was orglnally thin, a dress ing of barnyard manure may be need ed to keep the trees In growing con dition and to insure the formation of fruit buds. It will be required that the trees grow every year in order that they may form fruit buds. Since growth is necessary, nitrogen in the ; soil will be necessary also. Worm soil may lack available nitrogen, hence tlie need of barnyard manure or commercial nitrogen. Old orchard soils may need organic matter. This the barnyard manure will also snpply. There Is no oth-r fertility that will stimulate growth In trees better thnn barnyard manure, for it affords both organic matter and ni trogen. In applying manure to large trees do not make the mistake of applying the manure close to the tree, around the trunk. The young roots where the plant food is to be obtained for old trees may be considerable distance from the trunk of the tree. It is a good practice to spread the manure as far away from the trunk us the branches extend, possibly farther. This will provide that the manure Is above many of the roots that are to absorb plant food. DANGEROUS SAN JOSE SCALE Insect Multiplies Rapidly and It la Only Matter of Time Before Orchard la Destroyed. (By PRESBLEY A. GLENN, Illinois Ag ricultural Experiment Station.) It Is difficult for one to realise fully the dangerous character of the Han Jose scale unless he has seen Its work. It feeds on the sap of the host plant. The amount of sap that a single iodl- j vidunl, or even several hundred Indi viduals could extract could not Injure | a healthy tree or Shrub, but the species multiplies so rnpidly, that from a few scattered pnrents millions of progeny may be produced In a season or two, sufficient to cover completely the bnrk of parts, or even all, of the tree. Most of our Insect pests have natural ene-; mies which so restrain their multipli cation that they become destructively j abundant only now and then; but those of the San Jose scale are inade quate to Its control. A young tree or shrub may be killed by the scale in ' Mature Male San.Jose Scale. two or three years; older trees with stand the attack longer, but sooner or later are likewise destroyed. Young orchards are killed out more quickly thnn old ones; and where young trees are set In old Infested orchards, they also become Infested and die before they are old enough to fruit. Where this Insect Is present, orchards or oth er plantations containing trees sus ceptible to Its Injury can only be pre served by spraying. WINTER KILLING IS AVOIDED Many Orchardlets Harden Trees In Late Summer and Early Fall by Planting Cover Crop. Did you lose some of the trees In your orchard by winter-killing last year? B. B. Crulkshank of the Ag ricultural College Extension Service, Ohio State university says that many orchardists are preventing winter-kill ing by hardening their trees during the late summer and fall months. They cense cultivation lnAugunt and plant a cover crop of clover or rye. This takes *he moisture out of the soil which ordinarily would be takeu up by the trees. Growth of the tree Is finished by this time and the lack of moisture causes the wood to become firmer. IJttle damage Is said to occur where this practice Is followed. AVOID HARM BY "SUNSCALD" Beet Preventive Probably Is Whitewash —Liberal Amount of Balt Will ' Make It Stick. During the winter is the time when Injury Is done by what Is commonly termed "sunscald." The best pre ventive Is probably whitewash. White wash made from strong, fresh, stone lime will r.tlck fairly well if a liberal amoc'it jf salt is added. Flour paste or a small amount of glue will also help. QUESTION OF BETTER ROADS Poor Policy for Farmer to Refuse to Listen to Argument* for Improve ment oi Highways. It wouldn't do any of us any harm to look thoroughly Into the question of better roads. Don't be narrow enough to take one aide of the question and refuse to listen to any facts or opinions advanced on the other side. A man told as the other day that he had been trying to talk to another man who had an entirely erroneous opinion In regard to the federal aid proposition. "He literally wouldn't listen to me," he said. "His head was so full of the wrong Idea that no sound aeemed able to penetrate It" To listen la not necessarily to be con vinced, and to refoae to listen Is to refuse to be broad minded enough to hear both aides and form a real opin ion.—Twentieth Century Farmer.

It Is very necessary that we recog nize hog cholera and swine plague in the very early Stages in order to pre vent them from spreading. In some outbreaks the symptoms are not typi cal and we cannot diagnose the disease by the symptoms alone. In such cases we should destroy a sick hog and make a careful post-mortem examination. If the disease proves to be hog chol era or swine plague, and It Is practical under the conditions, the herd should be divided Into small bunches. The sick animals should be separated from the well ones and all possible precau tions taken against the spread of the disease. Do not move the hogs to different parts of the farm, nor scatter the dis ease over the farm. If the yards and hog houses are in such a condition that they cannot be properly cleaned and disinfected, we should move the herd to some convenient place and build temporary quarters. When the weather Is warm the only protection needed Is shade. In cold weather It Is necessary to provide I Contented Money Makera. quarters warm enough to prevent the' hogs from piling up and catching cold. j '• Portable hog houses are very useful for this purpose. The yards, feeding 'floors, troughs and hoghouses must be kept clean. All litter must be removed dally, and the ifrequent spraying of the hogs, feed ling floors and sleeping quarters with a water solution (2 per cent or more) !of a tar disinfectant Is a necessary part of the care. jWATER FOR HOGS IN SUMMER i Muddy and Filthy Wallow-Holea Are j Often Means of Spreading Con tagious Diseases. Hogs should have access to plenty ;of wuter during the hot summer months, but the muddy and filthy wal low-holes that are so common over the country are often the means of spreading contagious diseases, espe- Olallyicholera. Farmers are encouraged to con struct wooden or concrete wallows for their pigs, and to keep them In rea sonably clean condition. A boarded up wallow is very satisfactory; but a better way Is to dig a shallow hole, big enough for the pigs to lie In, and to use concrete for the sides and bot tom, plastering right onto the earth. It is a good plan, also, to put in a drain so that the water may be read ily changed. In addition to making the hogs more comfortable these wallows can be used as a means of ridding them of lice and fleas. To do this, cover the surface of the water with about hulf an Inch of crude oil. When the pigs go Into the water they will be come covered with the oil and the vermin will be killed. BOT FLIES CAUSE ANNOYANCE Parasite* Attach Themselves to Lining of Stomach and Absorb Food Intended for Animal. Bot flies are about the worst annoy ance to a horse In summer and early fall. They buzz around his legs and throat nnd deposit small yellow eggs on the end of th« hairs. Later these eggs enter the horse's mouth, hatch in the stomach and develop bots, which attach themselves to the lining of the stomach and there remain until late the following spring. They absorb some of the food that should nourish the horse and undoubtedly cause con siderable annoyance. Every few days during early fall clip off the hairs that carry these yellow eggs. The number of eggs that reach the horse's stomach and hatch there will be reduced correspondingly.

NIW VOWK OttY, FINE FOR PICKING FLOWERS Ordinance Protecting Yard* and Park ing* of City Prevent* Selfish and Theughtl*** Mischief. Of course. In the business sections of a city the front parkings are Im practicable and even many shade trees are often not desirable, the attractive ness of the streets depending entirely upon the architectural beauties of the buildings and the cleanliness and good repair of house fronts, sidewalks and pavements, but in residence sections the beauty depends as much upon the condition of the surroundings as ypon the houses themselves, and especially upon the flower beds and lawns dur ing at least a part of the year. It is often very annoying and dis couraging to the owner of beautiful flower beds in the front yards, which have been cultivated to a state of high perfection by constant care and stren uous effort, to have their beauty marred or destroyed by mischievous children or covetous adults, who often pluck the flowers and break the plants with seeming Impunity. The children should be taught to find pleasure in looking at the flowers without pluck ing them and an ordinance making it a misdemeanor, punishable by a line, to pluck or injure flowers or plants in the yards or parkings of others, would be very useful, to restrain adults from their selfish and thoughtless mischief and keep them from being aggressive enemies of the city beautiful. The back yards, however, protected by fences and gates, are usually safe ground in which the lover of beautiful flowers may employ his taste, knowl edge and judgment and expend his ef forts to produce results that will af ford pleasure to himself and his house hold, as well as to 'his neighbors. KEEP BEAUTY OF ROADSIDE Bomo Town* Appreciate the Value of Permitting Flower* and Shrub bery to Grow on Highway*. In many a charming countryside the towp road-destroyer with his bush scythe garners the beauty and leaves bleakness, a singularly unkempt re sult of an attempt to clean up. Sometimes It Is tie village Improve ment society Itself, meaning well, that sends him forth, says the Boston Transcript More often It Is his indi vidual sense of responsibility to the office whose salary he Is expected to earn. He, too, means well, apd would be greatly indignant if told that bis labors tended to drive prosperity away from his district. Tet such is without doubt the fact. The summer visitor loves the country for Its wild tangle, Its untrammeled growth, Its bosky dells and Its friendly shrubbery which crowds Into the road itself, flaunting dewy fragrance in his face as he walks. When the day comes that he returns and finds 1a place of these along his accustomed walks dry brush, bare stubble and clumsily unkempt cleanliness, bis soul revolts and on the morrow be seeks fresh woods and pastures new. Some country towns seem to have % realizing sense of this purely utilitarian side of the value of roadside beauty. They build good roads, but they take care to leave the roadside growth untrammeled that those who pass may enjoy It It Is a business asset There Is more to It too, than the fact that sentimentalists and nature lovers come to worship this beauty. The school children of such a town go to school along roads lined with ob ject lessons not only In beauty but in natural science, lesftons which they learn without k*owing it and which re> main vMth them an their lives.
