ENTRANCE ROADS FOR FARMS
Engineers of Bureau of Public Roadt
Give Advice on Application of
Bituminous Material.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Owners of large farms and rural
estates socking a more satisfactory
typo of entrance road have applied
to the bureau of public roads of the
United Slates department of agricul
ture for advice regarding the applica
tion of bituminous material on main
entranco and much-traveled farm
lanes.
The bureau's engineers point out
that such applications may bo made
successfully on any farm road which
hns nlrendy been constructed of stone,
gravel, or other similar material, and
Is In n thoroughly compacted and rea
sonably smooth condition. A coal-tar
preparation applied cold, or an nsphal
tic oil, can bo used nnd If applied by
tho farm employees, the cost should
not exceed seven or eight cents a
squaro yard for materials. The com
pacted gravel or stone road should bo
thoroughly elenned of dust and the
bitumen applied with ordinary sprink
ling pots from which the perforated
nozzle has been removed and the spout
carefully flattened Into a symmetrical

may be poured in a broad. Hat stream.
If a large amount of work Is to he
done, a speclnlly designed pouring
can may be purchased of dealers In
road equipment. Care should be
taken to have an even distribution,
nnd the quantity applied should be
approximately one-half gallon to o
square yard of road surface. Aflei
applying tho bituminous material,
clean gravel or stone chips should be
spread evenly over the surface, and
If possible, rolled with a lawn or field
roller. Where gravel or chips are not
available, clean, coarse sand will serve
as covering material. It should be
spread In sufficient 'quantity to pre
vent the bituminous material from ad
hering to tiros of passing vehicles.
Attention is called to the fact thai
this treatment should not he made

HANDLING FOAL
IN PROPER WAY
Many Young Anirpals Losl
Through Inefficient Manage
ment in First Few Weeks.
"COLOSTRUM " IS IFAPORTANT
Right Amount of Nourishment Is
Necessary for Good Growth and
Development Dam Should
Have Good Pasture Grass.
(By W. T. WASEL, Colorado ABrlcultur
al CollcBo, l''ort Collins, Colo.)
It Is of the highest lmporta'nco In
horse producing that the young start
llfo In full health nnd vigor. The
foal should, as soon as being able to
stand up, take a good draught at tho
"colostrum" or first milk of the mare.
This milk or colostrum has purgative
properties which discharge from tho
alimentary tract the foeX'nl material
which collected within during foetus
llfo. If the foal does not naturally
pass tho foetus matter, then glvo a
gentle purgative of castor oil.
Utilize Natural Milk.
With the alimentary tract cleared
tho foal can utilize the natural milk
which follows. Tho young foal will
naturally at once gain weight,
strength nnd make a good growth.
The owner of the mare and foal
should know tho condition under
which the dam must follow.
If tho dam Is not able to supply
the proper amount of nourishment,
the foal will not make the proper
growth and development. Tho mare
should have a good pasture grass,
but If this Is not available some con
centrate?, such as oats, rolled barley
or wheat bran with some corn should
bo used.
Tho first few days after foaling, the
mare should bo In a box stall nnd a
small lot, with simple feed and not too
abundant.
In seven to ten days the mare and
foal mny be turned to pasture; but
protect them from the Inclemencies
of the weather. Keep under favorable
conditions, and the mare and foal will
shift for themselves, but use watch
fulnesa us to tho first appearance of
Jlfi'ercnt ailments. Diarrhea is ano
Df the most common troubles, nnd
should bo checked at once. The cor
rectives for this are as follows : Boll
vd milk, parched flour or a gruel.
Excellent Type of Mare and Foal.
These materials are simple nnd can
he ttscd mtst successfully. Constlpa-
ttot', another ailment, may ho relieved
by the use of castor oil.
Acquires Taste for Grain.
At the age of two months tho foal
should acquire n taste for grain. As
soon as the colt begins to eat readily
it pen should be built, limiting It high
enough to keep tho dnm out, nnd the
foal will pass below. Thus, It will
soon get tho habit of feeding from the
regular feed trough. Keep the ration,
nnd especially the oats, well supplied
By using this system tho colt at
weaning time will be easy to wean,
and then they do not miss their dams.
The foals are usually weaned nt the
ugo of five or six months old. At
Venning time increase tho ration, nnd
the foals will make a good growth,
tind later mnture Into n good grade of
horses.
PREVENTING SMUT OF WHEAT
One Pint of Formaldehyde to Forty
Gallons of Water Will Treat
Fifty Bushels of Wheat.
Treat seed wheat for smut and pre
vent more smut In the next crop. One
pint of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of
wnter will do the work for 50 bushels
Spread the wheat In thin layers, sprln
kle nnd shovel over until nil the grains
tiro wet, pile up nnd cover with can
vns or blanket for couple of hours
then sprend out and shovel over some
more to help It to dry. Sow as soon
ns possible, always within 24 hours,
Never trent more thun can bo sown
In one dny. This will knock tho smut
off next year's crop.
VALUE OF CORNCOBS IN SOIL
While Relatively Low In Plant Focd
They Are of Value to Turn
Under on Clay Land.
While It Is true that corncobs an;
relatively low In plant food, their
value must not be computed upon this
liasls ulnne, for tholr value Is far
greater as organic. matter.
There Is no question that where
cohs can bo obtained without cost m-
ccpt tlie hauling, mid the haul Is short
that they are worth the hauling to

"PREVENTION" FIRST"
IS BEST FOR SHEEP
Parasitical Diseases Are Difficult
to Overcome.
Stomach and Lung Worms, Mange and
Ticks Are Most Troublesome Ail
mentsCarefully Avoid Buy
ing Infested Animals.
Parasitical diseases of sheep nro
hard to fight and overcome. Dr. O. P.
Fitch, head of tho division of veteri
nary medicine of the University ot
Minnesota, believes that the ounco
of prevention Is worth more than tho
pound of cure. He says :
"Most discuses of sheep nro caused
by parasites fnich as stomach and lung
worms, mange, ticks, and tnpe worms.
In Minnesota the losses duo to stom
ach worms are probably the heaviest;
next to them probably Is the toll tak
en by lung worms. Any treatment for
lung worms Is unsatisfactory nnd
sheep nflltctcd with theiri should bo
disposed of promptly. Diseases caus
ed by stomnch worms enn be treated
to good purpose by the upo of 1 per
cent solution of copper sulphntc, 100
cubic centlmctors for the oldor sheep
and hnlf tlint quantity for lambs. Tho
.solution is given In the form of a
Fine Prize-Winning Oxford-Down
Ram.
drench nnd should be repeated onco
or twice at intervals of ten days, enro
being taken not to get tho fluid Into
the windpipe of the nulmnl. Tape
worm can he expelled by the use of
nspldlum, otherwise known ns tho ex
tract of male fern.
" 'Prevention' should be cmphnslzcd
In tho matter of sheep diseases. Farm
ers and breeders should exercloo ev
ery possible caro when buying sheep
to avoid bringing infested animals In
to the country. Newly purchased an-
Imnls should bo kept by themselves
and confined to single fields for tho
first six months. In this way tho
spreading of disease to orlglnnl UockB
can bo reduced to the Minimum. Now
that tho sheep raising industry is bo-
lug stimulated In Minnesota, It Is ex
ceedingly Important that all breeders
Inquire carefully Into the history of
flocks from which they may purchase, i
All Imported stock should bo closely i
inspected by a competent veter
inarian." LICE ON CHICKENS NEEDLESS
So Says Entomologist of University
of Minnesota Urges Use of
Sodium Ftuorld.
L'ouso Infestation of chickens Is
needless nnd they should not be al
lowed to enter upon tho winter with
such n handicap, says W. A. Itiley,
chief of the division of entomology
of tho University of Minnesota. Doc
tor Riley holds that tho most satis
factory control men&ure Is the use of
commercial sodium iluorld. Tills pow
der Is applied by the "pinch method."
Tho chicken Is held by the legs or
wings nnd a smnll pinch of sodium
fluorld Is applied to the head, anoth
er to the neck, two on the bnck, ono
on the breast, ono below tho vent, ono
on the tall, one on each thigh and ono
on the under side of each wing. An
other efficient remedy, snys Doctor
Riley, Is the Cornell louse powder.
"With either of these powders avail
able," ho says, "thero Is no point In
buying proprietary lice powders which
cannot he more efficient nrfd which nro
vastly moro expensive."
THOROUGHLY DRY SEED CORN
Beet Germination Tests Made From
That to Which Some Artificial
Heat Is Applied.
Tests In caring for seed corn at tho
Ohio experiment stntlon show that
corn giving tho best germination tests
In tho spring Is that which has been
dried out well In the full and to which
some artificial heut has been applied.
It Is necessary to keep tho corn well
ventllnted, which mny bo accom
plished by suspending tho cars from
a wire In n shed or attic, or tho cars
may bo placed In a sling between two
strings so that they do not touch each
other. If the corn is thoroughly dried
before freezing wenther, tho germina
tion test generally proves satisfac
tory In the spring.
WINTER LAYERS AID RETURNS
Whether Eggs Aro Forthcoming or
Not Fowls Will Keep on Con
Burning Costly Feed.
It will make u great deal of differ
ence in the roturns from the flock
whether tho pullets lay fairly well
during tho winter or whether they do
not begin to Iny until spring, for In
either case they will bo consumlna

GREEN FEED DURING WINTER
Poultryman Should Havo Supply to
Last Through Season to Keep
Fowls In Condition.
(Prepared by tlw United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Green feeds for poultry contain only
a smnll perccntngo of actual food nu
trlcnts, but nro important because of
their succulenco nnd bulk, which light
en tho grain rations and nsslst In keep
ing tho birds (n good condition. Tho
poultryman should secure a sufficient
supply of such feeds to last through
tho winter months In sections where
growing feeds cannot bo obtained.
When chickens nro fattened without
the, uso of milk, green feed helps to
keep them In good condition.
Cabbages, mangel wurzels, clover,
alfalfa, and sprouted onts are tho
green feeds commonly used during tho
winter. Cabbages do not keep as well
in ordinary cellars as mangel wurzels,
so whero both of these feeds nro avail
able tho cabbage? nro fed first. Thoy
aro often ausponded, whllo tho mangel
wurzels aro split and stuck on a nail
on the wall of tho pen. Clover and al
falfa may be fed as hay, cut Into one
half to ono Inch lengths, or mny bo
bought In the form of meal. Alfalfa
meal has a feeding analysis equal to
bran, but Is not as dlgcstlblo on ac
count of Its lnrger percentage of fiber.
Clover and alfalfa should bo cut whllo
slightly Immature, If they are to bo
cured and fed to poultry. The lenvca
and chaff from such hay are especially
adapted for poultry feeding.
Sprouted onts make a very good
green feed nnd ure used quite ex
tensively In this country. The oats
can be soaked for 12 hours In warm
water nnd then spread out In a layer
of from one-half to ono and one-half
Inches deep on a floor, or In n tray
or tier of flats, which havo openings
or holes or a threc-3lxteenths inch
mesh wire bottom, bo that the wnter

trymen prefer to allow the sprouts
to grow to two or three Inches long.
Oats need n moist and wnrm ntmos
phero In which to sprout quickly, so
that it Is necessary to furnish heat or
to keep them in a warm room during
tho winter, whllo they may bo sprout
ed out of doors during tho rest of the
year. It takes from six to ten days
to sprout oats, depending on tho tem
perature of tho room.
MITES REMAIN IN FEATHERS
Night Pest of Chickens May Stick to
Fowls In Sufficient Numbero
to Scatter Themselves.
Chicken mites, tho night pest of
poultry, may not always leave tho
fowls before daylight, as commonly
supposed, but mny remain In tho
feathers In such numbers as to make
poultry possible carriers of this pest
to unlnfested plnces. This fact was
brought out recently by nn entomolo
gist of the United States department
of agriculture In the course of a
study of the llfo history and habits of
the chicken mite, undertaken to dis
cover principles on which combutlve
measures might bo based.
