Likely to Gain Entrance
From the Top.
WATER MADE UNWHOLESOME
Thorough Examination Should Ba
Made of Curb for Defects Deter
mine If Carbonic Acid Gas Has
Accumulated at Bottom.
Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If properly locnted, built nnd pro
tected, dog wells ure more likely to bo
permanently satisfactory than nny
other kind, but to Insure the safety of
the water supply they require clean
ing occasionally. Even In protected
wells dust nnd other foreign matter,
which may pollute the water, are like
ly to gain entrance nt tho top, and
the washing In of clay and silt with
'.ho ground water may make the sup
ply unwholesome.
First Step In Cleaning.
The first step In cleaning n well
should be Inspection of the curb,
which, If weak or defective, may
uiake entrance dnngerous. This ex
imlnntlon may be made moro thor
oughly, nnd even the bottom of tho
well may be observed by the aid of
a beam of sunlight reflected Into the
well by a looking-glass. Next lower n
lighted candle to determine If car
bonic ncld gas has accumulated in tho
bottom of the well. Complete or par
tial failure of the candle to burn In
dicates that It is dangerous to cntet
the well. If found safe to enter a
ladder should be lowered and tha
curb from top down scrubbed with
wire or other stiff brushes and
rinsed thoroughly. The well then
should be pumped as low as possible,
nnd any mud, moss or other debris
should be scraped up Into palls and
removed.
Pump Out After Cleaning.
After thorough cleaning the well
should be allowed to All and then bo
pumped out rapidly. This operation
may be repeated to advantnge two or
three times, and often the whole work
results In n freer, larger-yielding well.
Many wells enn be drained by hand
pumping, but In other cases, a power
pump Is necessary.

so doing there Is little use In attempt-

HOW TICK RELEASES
FOLLOW DIPPING VAT
Greatest Record Made Since

Number of Cattle Treated Was 39,263,

vious Year No Hope Where
There Are No Dippings.
(Prepared by the United Stnton Depart
ment of Acrlculture.)
Tho amount of territory released this
year In nine southern states from the
federal quarantine agnlnst tho cnttle
fever tick was 70,217 square miles, the
greatest on record since the state and
federal governments began to fight tho
tattle parasite In 1000.
Another record, too, was broken this

exceeding the number In nny previous
year and by more than 10,000,000 the
number of the entire year of 1017.
Officials of the bureau of animal In
dustry, United States department of
agriculture, emphasize the direct relit
tlon between these figures. Where
there are many cattle dippings release
of territory from quarantine Is much
moro probable than where there are n
few. Where there are no dippings
there Is little or no hope. Itelcnscs

HOW TO REMEDY CLAY SOILS
Beneficial Results Secured by Making
It Loose Apply Ashes and
Dung Liberally.
Physically clay Is a mass of very
fine, minute grains, stuck together as
a cemented jnibstnnce, and Is compar
ably like putty In texture. Water Is
impermeable to it.
As a soli clay is very unsuitable,
for the land gets In n waterlogged
condition and very cold; but as a con
stituent it is very valuable, as It re
tains the moisture and holds plants
firm. Clay contains a small amount
of food substance, and carl be ab
sorbed In very small quantities. It
nlso retnlns the properties of decay
ing manures.
To remedy heavy clay soils by mak
ing It loose and friable, ashes and
long dung liberally applied would have
very beneficial results.
STARCH FROM BAD POTATOES
Value Not Destroyed by Common De-cay-Producing
Fungi Plan to
Salvage Spoiled Tubers
Prepared by tlie United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Starch In potatoes is not destroyed
by the common decay-producing fun
gi or by freezing. It has been found
in recent studios conducted by the
United States department of agricul
ture in laboratory tests that It Is pos
sible to recover most of tho starclr
from frozen and rotten potatoes,
which leads specialists of tho depart
ment to suggest that an attempt
should be made to salvage tho groat
quantities of spoiled stock now re
jected nnd dumped ou the terminal
markets.
Prevent Introduction and Keep the
Live Stock Quarters in Sani
tary Condition.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In dealing with contagious diseases
of cattle, the basic principle of pre
vention Is to keep carriers of Infec
tion away from the herd. Next in
Importance Is maintaining the sur
roundings in a sanitary condition. Fol
lowing this tlie animal's natural re
sistance to disease should be Increased
by natural uud occasionally by artifi
cial means. Ordlnnrlly disease stalks
about the country only in the bodies
of diseased animals or attached to
some Intermediate object; these may
include healthy or recovered anlmnls,
contaminnted feed nnd water, Infected
cars and pastures, or the shoes or
clothing of some Inquisitive person
who Insisted on seeing the diseased
stock. Avoiding such diseased ani
mals and keeping healthy ones away
from carriers of Infection are the Im
portant methods of preventing disease.
Tlie lack of Immediate action upon
tlie pnrt of the farmer when he dis
covers animals that show symptoms
of disease or sickness often Is respon
sible for the loss not only of his own
stock but for that of Ills neighbors.
At this time when every step should j
ho taken promptly to avoid losses and i
to conserve production It Is nil tin1
more Important thnt the farmer with
sick cnttle should get in touch at once
with tlie local veterinarian or county
agricultural agent.
ARMY MOTORIST IN FRANCE
Perils and Pitfalls Are Described by
Colonel Tyndall In Letter to
Carl G. Fisher.
"There will bo n couplo of million
real 'Itoad-lJoostors' back In the Unit
ed States when the war s over, ns I
think nil of tho men over here appre
ciate how good roads can bo made In
valuable. In my mind there is no
doubt that the good roads of France
fenved her In two Instances."
Col. Itobert II. Tyndnll of the Ono
Hundred nnd Fiftieth field artillery
thus writes from "over there" to
Chairman, Cnrl O. Fisher of the A. A.
A. touring board. It will be remem
bered thnt these two were closely as
sociated several years ngo in the trans
continental tour from nullnnnpolls tn
San Francisco, at which time puich
of the routo of the Lincoln highway
was decided upon. Colonel Tyndall

rovered thousands of miles of good,

ways. In his letter "home," he goes
on to say:

AGENTS TEACH CO-OPERATION
Farmers and Bankers of South Give
Credit to Initiative cf These
Representatives.
(Prepared by tho United States Depuri
tnent of AKrlculture.)
Co-operative buying nnd selling linn
taken a firm hold on the furmeru of the
South, and they say thnt primarily it is
due to the leadership of the county
agents. Nor are bankers averse tn
these representatives of the state col
leges of agriculture and of the Unlt d
States department of agriculture. II l
Is the opinion of n bunk president m
Orangeburg, S. O.:
"Co-operation nnd leadership by tins
department of government bus enubh-d
us to establish a packing house where
the farmer can market one hog or u
car of hogs any day In the year. This
agency has established u Farmers' Co
operative Marketing association in
this city, where ull surplus corn, lm.v,
potatoes, or any other crop can !
promptly nnd profitably marketed. It
lias also caused to be organized u
creamery, where cream and milk can
be marketed in any quantity every day
in the year. In its work of generally
helping the farmer to Increase crop
production nnd its co-operation ussl-t-Ing
him to market ills crops Intelligent
ly, I know of no single agency that lias
accomplished so much."

In some Instances you will llntl a tall
poplar standing higher than the rest
of the trees bordering tho road, nt
every kilometer, o that you can read
ily mensure distances with the eye.
"One . of the great things they do
here Is to repair n road and even mnke
nn entirely new surface without in
terfering with tho stream of traffic.
In one cnmpnlgn we were In, over a
thousand trucks passed my regiment,
each carrying 22 soldiers. This was
for re-enforcement on the Hank and

I don't have lights and neither do tlie

W. D. Thompson, acting highway en

New Jersey has been seen to rapidly
disintegrate nnd fall away under the
terrific strain Imposed upon the road
by tho heavy motortrucks now travel
ing it day and night.
Now Jersey hns standardized upon

will build nothing else on Us main
routes of travel. Future building will
bo of concrete of n minimum width oi
18 feet with n foot penetration shoul

loss than a 80-foot right of way.
Two miles of yich construction are
now being completed upon tho Lincoln
lilghwuy In New Jersey, near Iselln,
tho cost of which will bo $1-10.000, In-
dlcatlng In no small measure the ideas
