ONE CENT A DOSE a n | PATROLMEN TO REPAIR ROADS ,To Keep Recently Constructed High ' wayg*"Jn New Hampshire In Condi tion Many Men Are Employed. Within tbe last ten years -142 miles Of gravel rothls have been built Jn •New Hampshire at an averngo cost Of ta.»M per mile. It Is clear that auto travel would ruin them In a short itlmo If they were not maintained In good condition all the time. To meet tbl* necessity several hundred patrol men aro employed from the last of March to tbe first of December In patching every little run and hole that appears, In cleaning the ditches and i culverts and in spreading oil lightly over tho surface. Knch patrolman has a section of road assigned to him and • Is required to XurnlMi a one-horse wagon, a shovel, a rake, a drag and such other equipment as Is needed for hi* work. If the road Is not oiled It Is smoothed .with the after every rain; oiled roads do not* require fre quent dragging. Tbe patrolmen are paid an average wage of $3.25 the day. In 1015 the total cost of main taining these rouds was $2lO the mile. The road officer* of New Hampshire reckon that well-maintained gravel roadi cost about .$2550 the mile an nually less than nliy of the more ex pensive tyi>es of road for tho class of (ravel on four-fifths of the through routes In the state. On one-fifth of these routes tho travel Is too heavy to be carried by gravel anil more expen sive construction Is necessary; no amount of innlolotuinco of a gravel road will make It strong enough to carry moro than a certain denalty of travel, particularly where automobiles are pnmeroua.

A YEA* SPECIAL CARE FOR ROOSTER Keep Male Exercising, Supply Plenty of Proper Kind of Food and Eggs Should Be Fertile. Good breeding males sometimes.get themselves out of breeding condition by overgalluntry. Instead of taklne their share of-the food they call the hens. A good plan Is to give every mule a special feed at night. Many breeders coop the male lit night und feed him morning and night. See to It that the male's spurs are not long and sharp enough to the backs of the hens. Either wrap them with narrow strips of cloth or suw them off. , If "tlie miif&Tins a hare spot on the bend, or a torn wattle, the hens are likely to pj'ck at him. Some males will permit the hens to pluck feuthers and peck at their noses until there Is n raw surface. Grease these bare spot* with carbollzed vaseline, coop the bird until the wound has a chance to heal over. An open wound of this sort Is apt to become Infected with the germ of chlckenpoz and give lots of trouble. I'lgeona, sparrows and other birds are said to carry chicken pox. If the germs are In tbe gtound, and the hinlc rubs lil* sore spots with Infected feet, he Is almost sure to get the disease. Keep him exercising, give him plen ty of the right kind of food und tlie eggs should be fertile.

MAKING PROFIT WITH GEESC Much Depends on Kind of Fowls That Are Raised—Plentiful Pasturage Saves Feed Bills. The profit made from geese depends on the kind of fowl that Is raised. Common geese weigh ten to thirteen pounds. The goslings weigh from eight lo ten pounds. The profit OTr one of these Is from sixty cents to II dollar. Purebred* Weigh from fifteen to twen ty pounds, ami goslings from thirteen to fifteen pounds apiece. It costs ntiout ten cents a pound to rnlse them, Ilulslng gosllngs 'Ts' also Ideal for farm women, as usually plenty of pas ture Is available; and a plentiful sup nly of pasture means small feed bills.

When sown In September, or earlier, an acre of thla kind of pasture affords, on the average, grazing for six 100-pound fattening plga from the middle of October to May, provided a half ration of grain • used aa a eup plement By C. B. WILLIAMS, Chief, Division of Agronomy, N. C. Experiment , Statiort, West Raleigh. The rape plant closely resembles the rutabaga during its early stages of growth; in fact, so close is this re-* semblance that often an experienced grower cannot distinguish between them. Its ryot system, however, is more like that of the cabbage. It likes cool weather and will grow dur ing any portion of the year after se vere freezing weather is passed. It will endure pretty severe cold weather in the fall and winter without being ma terially Injured; in fact, it may be used for pasturage after being frozen, pro vided are kept off while it is frozen. It does not make much growth during the hot, dry months of mid summer. Under ordinary conditions the plants will attain a height of 18 inches to 2 feet or more. The Dwarf Essex variety of the crop is best suit ed for us under Southern conditions. Possibilities of the Crop. Farmers are becoming more and more Interested in the production of green crops for fail, winter and early spring grazing. Especially Is this true of those who are engaged in the rais ing of hogs and poultry. For winter pasturage an acre or two of this crop will supply many tons' of nutritious feed at the time of the year when green feeds are scarce. It has been fully demonstrated by repeated trials that an acre of rape properly seed ed on good rich land will producb as much pork when used as a hog pas ture as the same acre of land culti vated in corn. The rape can be grown much cheaper than the corn, as It will not require any cultivation, and the preparation of the seed-bed and seeding will be about the same tor both. The hogs will harvest the rape crop, while the corn must be harvest ed by the farmer himself. It should be remembered, however, that the acreage of rape that can be profitably utilized for pasturage on the average farm Is limited, it usaully not being more than two or three acres. In feeding experiments at the Ala bama Station running for 147 days (November 9-Aprll 5) with pigs weigh ing approximately 45 pounds each at the beginning of the experiment, It was found that thei two lots of pigs fed on n ration of two parts of corn and one part of wheat shorts and allowed the' use of a rape pasture during the period, produced pork on an average of 34.4 per cent less cost per pound, counting the cost of providing the rapo pasture, than did another lot fed on the same ration and confined In dry lots. In other wonis, the lots fat tened on rape pasture, supplemented wl(h the necessary amount of the ra tion of corn and wheat shorts, made very satisfactory profit, while the lot fattened on the ration of corn and whpat shorts alone in dry lots afford ed Ilttlo or no profit. 801 l and Its Preparation. Rape Is best adapted for growth on a deep, rich, mellow, loamy soil that Is fairly well stored with humus. It does not do well on the very light sandy or stiff olay soils because thsy are defilclent In organic matter. Any soil that will produce wheat and corn well will be found suited for the growth of rape. In preparing the land it should be well broken, then thoroughly harrowed Into a fine, clean seed bed, as Is usually done (or tur nips or rutabagas. If the land has a liberal application of manure the previous year, so much the better. On average land It will be well to apply broadcast over the land, just after breaking and before harrowing, about 300 to 500 pounds per acre of a fertilizer containing 8 to 10 per cent available phosphoric add, 4 to 6 per cent potash, and 3 to 4 per cent nitro gen. Seeding. For the Coastal Plain and Piedmont sections, the spring seeding may be made daring March or early Is April, and tb« fall seeding any time between August 20 and October 13. In the mountain section the spring seeding will iiave to be made In April and the fall seodtatg daring the latter part of July or early In August In order to ret beet results. The rape seed are POPULAR RHODE ISLAND RED They Are Good Foragers, Exce"ent Layers and Hans Are Docile ai.d Make Best of Mothers. Rhode Island Reds originated in Rhode Island about SO years ago, tak ing their name from the state and the color of the male birds. They were produced by crossing Red Malay Ciime. Red Cochin Chinas, Red Jaras, ('lillagongs, Shanghais and possibly Rrown leghorn blood was Introduced Inter. Little attention was paid to the color of the female until someone ex hibited a pen at a New Tork poultry show, when they attracted attention ns a utility and fancier's fowl. They linre been growing In favor ever since. They are good foragers, excellent lay cm, and the hens are docile and make the bfst of setters and mothers, though tliey are not persLstently broody. The chicks are very hardy, mature early and begin laying younger than many others. They la£ as good all winter sown broadcast alone or with other crops like small grains and crimson clover. In sowing with small gra|ns the rye, oats, or wheat seed should 'first -be drilled in or sown broadcast and covered an inch deep and then the rape seed sown broadcast and lightly covered by means of a light smoothing harrow or brush. Where the rape is used Alone, 4 or 6 pounds of seed per acre will be Sufficient. A good seeding, when sown with oats, would be 1H bushels of Red Rust Proof or Appier oats with about 2 to 3 pounds of Dwarf Essex rape seed. Rye at the rate of 2 pecks or wheat at the rate of 4 pecks per acre may bo substituted for the oats if found desirable to make the substitution. Another mixture that has been found to give good results in supplying pas turage for hogs consists of a seeding made up of 2 to 3 pecks of rye, 5 to 6 pounds of crimson clover, and 2 pounds of Dwarf Essex rape seed. This latter mixture has proven particularly valuable for the mountain section for elevation less than 2,800 feet above sea-level. Usually with rape alone or seeded in the mixtures indicated above the grazing may be started usually within thirty to sixty days after seed ing. Frequently during a favorable season the rape may be lightly grazed by pigs three to four weeks after seed ing Precautions in Grazing. In posturing rape the hogs, should not be allowed on it until the plants are at least 10 to 12 Inches high, for if pastured before thie time the young plants will be likely to be pulled up and killed. Care should be exercised, too, that the number of hogs on the pasture is not so large as to keep the rape too closely grazed, tor such would prove fatal to, the plants and the life of the pasture would thereby be ma terially shortened. After being grazed, the plants should be given an oppor tunity to get well started Into growth befofe being grazed again. By divld-1 lng the field into lota these may be pastured in succession. It sown on { good land and properly handled one' acre of rape will provide grazing for ten (tr twelve hogs for something like j two or three months or more. PREPARING FOR A LARGER CROP OF WHEAT THIS YEAR FLOUR WILL BE HIGH NEXT YEAR AND FARMERS BHOULO IN CREASE THEIR CROP. By C. B. Williams, Chief Division ol Agronomy, N. C. Extension Ser- I i I vice, West Raleigh, N. C. indications are that the ol wheat, and hence. of flour, is to bs high during the next year. This will naturally cause a planting of an in; creased acreage of this crop. Under normal conditions this would not be a promising situation under which to advise the growing of more wheat; but slnoe Congress will In all probab IHty fix a minimum pries for stand ard grade wheat at primary markets of $2,00 per bushel It certainly seems to be advisable this year. In the Piedmont and mountain sec tions of the State, wheat growers should Increase their acreage to some extent at least. Those who have not grown this crop previously In this portion of the State might do so with safety, and in all probability put In a few acres to good advantage ts provide for the needs of the family On some of the more compact eastern soils, also wheat might be grown during the present high prices with fairly aatlsfactory results. Or dlnarlly we would not recommend ths growing of this »rop hat very little, If any, In the Coastal Main Section of the State because Als portion ol the State Is not nearffr se well adapt ed generally to It as the Western half.'

GOOD ROADS BUILD ROADS ON WAR FRONT Poaaible and Desirable to Conatruet Higheat Typea of Burfacea for Moving Suppllea. With the arrival of the Balfour mis sion late Information has been obtain ed regarding road building methods followed In the war regions of France und Belgium. English military engineers have re cently made experiments demonstrat ing that It Is possible and desirable to build the highest type of road sur faces for the temporary or emergency movement of artillery and supplies. Roads built with asphalt sent over from England have recently been con structed In the rear of the French-Bel gium front. Roads so Improved gave far better service than any type here tofore attempted under the swift and heavy movements necessitated by the artillery action which precedes Infan try attacks. It was observed that mo tor trucks and gun carriages suffered no Injury In movement over these hastily constructed asphalt pavements, while frequent breakdowns were ex perienced when road building was not attempted. These experiments being done, a mission Including officer*, the Brit ish and French engineer corps looked over the pavements In the environs of Paris built in the last three br four years. Among other roads Inspected early in this month was the Trini dad asphalt pavement laid on the road to Versailles which has been carrying military traffic ever since the war be gan. As a result of these experiments and Investigations It has been decid ed, wherever possible, to construct sim ilar surfaces for the movement of mili tary traffic In regions where roads have been destroyed or where they may be made necessary by battle plans. GETTING CROPS TO MARKET Of pittle Avail to Raise Produce of Any Kind If It Cannot Be Moved to Shipping Point While a great deal is being said, about the crying need of cultivating every acre of land which can be made to yield crops at a fair profit, there is a surprising silence about the equal ly Important need o£ providing facili ties or getting those crops to shipping] points. It is of little avail to raise' wheat if It cannot be hauled to mar ket At a recent convention of the Ohlo ( Good Roads association the farmer' delegates spoke with the utmost con viction of the need of improved roads,! good 305 days in the year, if they were to do their part in the mobilization of the resources of the country in the cause of humanity. Moreover, these delegates from the farms did not ask ''' v ">jig Using Drag. to have the roads Improved for them; they promised their full proportion of flnaticlul support for their construc tion. An entirely different condition Is re ported from New England, New York and New Jersey. There the conges tion of railway traffic makes the high ways of great value In delivering man ufactured materials from one city to another; the motor truck has sudden ly become a real necessity in meeting the urgent requirements for transport- j lng the products of the cities. In short, the rational Improvement of roads is an essentia element of the grave economic problems of the day, to make the valuable products of the farm and shop available to the user at the lowest possible cost. This sub ject should be studied at once as an economic problem, the same as the provision of railway and waterway transportation, the Increase In culti vated acreage and the Improvement of manufacturing facilities. Crops that cannot be moved, from the farms ex cept at enormous expense and manu factured products that must lie In storehouse because of congestion of railways are of little value to a na tion which needs such things now.

CHICKS ON A GRAIN RATION Superior Method for Forcing Growth „ and Maturity of Cockerels— Mixture for Maah. Chicks do well on a grain ration, but they do a great deal better when once they are started on a wet-mash ration and are fed alternately two feeds of wet mash per day with three feeds of grain, the latter being given morning, noon and night and the wet mash being given about ten in the morning and three In the afternoon. For forcing growth and maturing the cockerels for market a* quickly as possible such a method of feeding Is far superior to the ordinary straight grain ration method. The following mixture makes a very palatable mash: Equal parts by weight of cornmeal, bran, middlings, corn gluten feed and commercial meat scrap. CONSTANT SUPPLY OF WATER Qeod Use Can Be Made of Tin Can From Which Top Ha* Been Melted —Brick Held* It Steady. Fresh clean water Is kept before the chicks constantly, and is kept clean by using a tin can from which the top has been melted with an opening made In the open end three-fourths inch long (high) and one-half inch wide. The can is filled .and Inverted In s common earthen flower-pot ssu cer (open end downward), msklng an automatic fountain which Is raised one and one-half Inches from the floor of the brooder or coop. If the fountain Is used with hens, some way must be pro vided to keep the hens from knocking the can over. Overcome this by plac ing a brick on top of the can.
