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.
PREPARE DUCKS FOR MARKET
When Fowls Reach Two Pounds in
Weight Confine Them and Feed

HARD ROADS ARE NECESSARY
Big Essential In Using Trucks for
Transportation of Farm Products
to City Markets.
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

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.

eral government to the states will rap-
Idly Increase tlie proportion of good
trunk roads. This co-operation la al

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.

PREVENT SPREAD OF DISEASE
Important That Hog Cholera and
Swine Plague Be Recognised In
Very Incipient Stagea.
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.
SHORTAGE OF SOUND HORSES
Every Farm Mare Should Be Bred to
Good Stallion—Motive Power Al
ways In Good Demand.
Breed every sound mare to a good
stallion. There is a decided shortage
of good horses and the demands will be
very heavy In the months to come. It
takes five years to breed and bring
horsee to the general market. We will
always need more horses than any oth

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.
Landscaping Fundamental*.
livery owner of a bit of toll should
make a limited ftudy of the art of land
scaping so that fundamental mlstakea
are not made. First do not plant your
•pace all over, as though It were an
orchard. Leave ftt open center for
lawn or even a htm soil and plant
only about the borilMi flNftln varying
widths. Never cumber the center with
trees or shrubs. Mam the planting by
placing many of a klif together; do
not space regularly ao each will appear
lonely or have an orchard effect It
matters little If they grow together In
a mans nature so disposes them. This
effect U more neceMary in Shrubs than
trees hot even trees should Interlace.
In a small garden aome or even all of
formality must be had but in a place
of slss we need little or none. In the
large places we shoold avoid straight
Unas. H «ns will follow these few sim
ple -rales be cannot go far astray In
planning his own garden.
