In order to have muscles powerful enough to lift his weight In the air by | flapping wings, a man’s breastbone ; would have to develop a keel like a bird’s and his collarbone would have i to be changed to a giant “wishbone.” Some writer on aviation has calcu lated that this keel and “wishbone” would have to project at least six feet in order to furnish attachments for the necessary muscles. For man, in proportion to his size, is far heavier than an albatross This bird has small and very light legs, whereas man's legs are solid and heavy. , The albatross’ long wing bones are hollow tubes.

Now, is it possible for us to breed a sheep of the butcher’s ideal type and still retain the vigorous constitu tion necessary in a healthy breeding animal? 1 say no. Why? Because it is against the laws of nature. In our flocks we must have head and neck, brisket, shank and side meat in order to get that strong constitution that is necessary for the animal to possess for the development of the more ex pensive cuts of the butcher’s ideal. In order to bring the breeder and the consumer nearer one ideal it is necessary for us as breeders, to see that our mutton sheep come as near the butcher’s ideal as is consistent, without impairing the constitution of our breeding flocks. In order to obtain these results, we must see that our mutton sheep pos sess straight backs and under line, with the ribs well sprung, and a broad, thick loin with full, round quarters. As a rule, a sheep possessing these points you will find evenly covered with flesh or muscle from crops to | tail. A sheep that Is unevenly covered with flesh or is lumpy along the back, always has a weakness of the mus cles. Therefore, we must educate our j selves to see that our mutton sheep possess the evenly covered backs of muscle or flesh, and having that sen sitive” touch known to all good judges with full, round quarters, thus en deavoring to get as much of the high er-priced cuts as possible, without im pairing in any way the constitution of our breeding flocks. MEDIUM LITTER OF PIGS IS BEST PLAN Idea of Selecting Sow to Grow Large Number of Young Is Not Good Practice. (By A. J. EEGG.) It is customary with hog raisers I when selecting a brood sow, to want ; one with a large number of teats in j order to accommodate a large litter of : pigs. I had an inquiry from a custo ! mer some time ago for two sow pigs j and he said that people told him that a sow should have 14 teats. There are few sows with so many teats and really the very large litter is not in my opinion the most .profit able one anyway. A sow with ordinary care cannot properly nourish more than 8 or 10 pigs and I am not sure that but 6 or 7 is better than 10. 1 have had sows with 10 and 11 pigs but there are always some runts that do not grow fast. It takes just about all that the sow can digest to keep the pigs making satisfactory growth. The sows with 6 or 8 pigs will keep them growing rapidly and 1 believe as many pounds of pork as the large litters and there is not such a strain on the sow’s system to provide food for the pigs. I have a sow now with six pigs. She Is getting moderate feeding twice a day and the pigs are growing rapidly This sow has raised 8 and 9 pigs to the litter heretofore, but she never grew so uniformly nice pigs before Taking everything into consideration 1 believe that the medium sized litter is more profitable than the very large litter and that the idea of selecting a sow to grow very large litters is a mistake and a wrong standard to'meas ure by when selecting brood sows. IMPORTANT NOTES OF THE SHEEPFOLD Animals Are Excellent Farm Cleaners, Weed Destroyers and Fertilizers. As the country ages and the fertility of its fields becomes exhausted its ap preciation of the sheep will increase. Early maturity is an important quality to consider in selecting sheep Whether you are keeping sheep for pleasure or profit, your desires will be more fully met if your flock is of su perior quality. * A strong sheep does not necessarily have to mean a large one; in fact, a majority of the strongest sheep are medium in size. Every sheep owner should keep a purebred ram, but every man is not qualified to keep purebred stock. Everything possible should be done to bring the ewes to a vigorous, fiesh forming condition at the mating period. Sheep are excellent farm cleaners, weed killers and fertilizers. The man who desires large profits from his flock should afford it the best that good management will pro duce. Nothing heed be wasted on the farm where sheep are kept—tufts of grass, weeds and aftermaths and odd bits of feed can all be utilized and con verted into wool and mutton. Work Cheerfully. Better do your roadwork cheerfully and honestly, or have the grace to grin when you have to take the con sequences of your own laziness. Planting Fruit Trees. There are two periods in the year when fruit trees may be planted, namely, in the fall or early winter and in the spr'ng. Winter Flowers. Sow rrvf’f-nptte in pots for winter F,. • ANIMAL MEDICINE CHEST FOR FARMS Corrosive Sublimate Is a Fine An tiseptic—Several Other Use ful Drugs. Turpentine with milk—one part tur pentine to J6 parts milk, is good for stomach woi ms in sheep. Use blue stone or common blue vitriol as an antiseptic for wounds. Use one to four drams in a pint of water, or even stronger. It Is a great germ-killer. Corrosive sublimate is a fine anti septic, but care must be taken in its use. it can be had in small tablets with directions for its use. Always label it ‘POISON.” A good condition powder is made as follows: Sulphate of iron, two ounces: nux vomica seed, one ounce; gentian root, two ounces; nitrate of potash, two ounces. Have your drug gist pulverize each well, mix thorough ly and give a teaspoonful three times a day in the feed. Every medicine chest ought to con tain a bottle of carboiized vaseline. It i§ good for chapped hands, and for chapped heels on horses. Pure acetic acid wiil remove warts. Boric acid is an excellent remedy for sore mouth, sore eyes and roup in chickens. Use 20 grains to one ounce of water. Ringworm and enlarged glands may be reduced by tincture of iodine. Paint once daily, until the parts be come sore, then cover with vaseline In order to reduce swelling in horses, caused by great strain, an ap plication of one drachm each of crys tal iodine and powdered cantha.ldes and an ounce of vaseline, will ofteD give relief. For soft tumors, or swellings, the following ointment is often very effica cious. One drachm each of powdered cantharides, blniodide of mercury and oil of turpentine mixed with one ounce of vaseline. Apply freely and rub well for ten minutes. Wipe ^>ff with a cloth and about the third day apply some lard or vaseline. After two days apply the blister again, and repeat until the enlargement subsides. PRESERVATION OF BARNYARD MANURE Scientific Investigations Do Nol Give Better Method Than That of Chinese. Prof. F. H. King, in his book "Farmers of Forty Centuries." de scribes the methods used by the Chi nese, Koreans and Japanese in collect ing and preserving precious manure, both solid and liquid, also the systems of composting used. In China the manure is placed in glazed terra cotta urns, some having a capacity of 1,000 pounds. In Japan cement-lined pits are used, the liquid excrement as well as the solid being carefully pre served. Tn China the compost piles are carefully plastered with a layet of earth mortar. The results of the latest s-ientific investigations do not give us any bet ter method than that practiced by the Chinese for centuries. Cow Easily Disturbed. Do not tolerate loud words' or. rough treatment in the dairy barn or around the cows. A cow Is a highly organized, complex machine easily put out of order. Discard Swayback Pig. Beware of the swayback pig, no matter if all the other points are good. Cheaoest in End. In purchasing grass seed, the beat is always the cheapest in the end. Government Studies Show .How the Agricultural Output of Country Depends Upon Its Highways. That an improved road will increase vastly the productiveness of the area through which it runs has now been satisfactorily demonstrated by stud ies conducted by the United States department of agricultural in Vir ginia. Conditions in Spotsylvania county were investigated with par ticular care and the results have proved suprising. In 1909, the coun ty voted $100,000 to improve 40 miles of road. Two years after the com pletion of this work the railroad took away in 12 months from Fredericks burg, the county seat, 71,000 tons of agricultural and forest products hauled over the highways of that town. Before the improvement of the roads this total was only 49,000 tons annually; in other words, the quantity of the county's produce had risen more than 45 per cent. Still more in teresting, however, is the increase shown in the quantity of the dairy products. In 1909 these amounted to 114,815 pounds, in 1911 to 273,028 pounds, an increase of practically 140 per cent in two years. In the same time shipments of wheat had increased 59 per cent, tobacco 31 per cent, and lumber and other forest products 48 per cent. In addition to this increase in quan tity the cost of hauling each ton of produce was materially reduced. In other words, the farmers not only pro duced more, but produces more cheap ly, for the cost of transportation to market is of course an important fac tor in the cost of production. From this point of view, it is estimated that the $100,000 spent in improving the road in Spotsylvania county saved the farmers of that county $41,000 a year. In the past two yeafs the traffic studies of the federal experts Ehow that approximately an average of 65, 000 tons of outgoing products were hauled over the improved roads in the county an average distance of eight miles, or a total of 520,000 “ton miles.” Before the roads were im proved it was estimated that the aver age cost of hauling was 20 cents a “ton-mile;” after the improvement this fell to 12 cents a “ton mile," or a sav ing of eight cents. A saving of eight cents per mile on 520,000 "ton-miles” is $41,000 a year. Because this saving, in cases of this character, does not take the form of cash put directly into the farmer’s pocket, there is a widespread tendency to believe that it is fictitious profit, while as a matter of fact it is just as real a source of profit as an in crease in the price of wheat. In Dinwiddie county, Virginia, for example, where peanuts are one of tl^e staple crops, the average load for two mules on a main road was about a thousand pounds before the road was Improved. After its improvement the average load was found to be 2,000 pounds, and the time consumed in hauling the larger load to market was much reduced. IDEAS ON ROAD IMPROVEMENT Speedways, Joy-Ride Trails or High ways for Pleasure Traffic Not Wanted by Farmer. Sanity lias overtaken the advo cates of better rural highways. In the old days the good road advocate dreamed of nothing less than macad am, and his visionings ran often to brick-paved paths and concrete coun try lanes. All the rural world rolled smoothly by over traffic ways that would cost anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 per mile. That was before the farmer had really entered into the movement and before the small town merchant, the rural banker, and the county seat cities had begun to think about good roads in terms of dollars and cents. Twenty years of agitation has brought us face to face with the fact that the taxpayer does not want speedways, joy-rider trails or roads for pleasure traffic, says St. Louis Re public. The man on the farm wants a good firm, well drained highway that he can use at any and all seasons of the year, and he does not want to be bankrupted or driven to the poor house in getting it. Laying Pullets. Pullets very often are slow' at start ing to lay owing to becoming too fat. In growing pullets there should be more nitrogenous and less carbo naceous food given therh. Importance of Movement. Of the 2,000.000 miles of public roads in the United States only about two hundred thousand miles have been given a hard surface. This shows the importance of the good roads movement. Poor Highways. • Poor highways lessen the profit of iabor, increase the cost of living, bur den the enterprise of the people, dull the morality of our citizenship and hold down the educational advance ment of the country. Prevent Colds. When hens are molting they feel these changes very much, and great care should be taken that they do not take cold. Fowls for Breeders.
