Show Road Problem Is Yet Troublesome $ There Must Be Cooperation of Authorities in Charge of Highways. . (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice. He treated constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, a combination of senna and other mild herbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs! A bottle will last several months, and all can use it. It is pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal. All drug stores have the generous bottles, or Write Syrup Pepsin, Dept.

All Before much definite progress can be made in getting the farmer out of the mud and In getting the city man oat of the city on week ends, there must be and of authorities in charge of local roads and highways in areas adjacent to large cities, according to the bureau of public roads of the United States . Department of Agrlcultuj-eThere are approximately 2,750,000 miles of local rural roads in the United States, say bureau engineers, and approximately 1,000,000 miles are administered by town or township authorities. There are, they say, 3,066 counties or equivalent subdivisions, of which 67 In the New England states have no relation to Improvement or maintenance of roads. Authorities of the remaining 2,999 exercise jurisdiction over the 1,750,000 miles of local roads classified as county roads. Control Construction. 975 of the 2,999 counties have Only control over construction and maintenance which may be described as reasonably competent, according to the bureau, and there are 829 counties which have no definite organization whatever for the maintenance of roads, and in which the work is of the most casual and inefficient nature. The county or township unit is generally so small and its taxing power so limited," says these federal road authorities, as to preclude overhead costs for proper supervision of and equipment for road work. If adequate equipment is provided, the area Is generally so small, and the mileage so limited that it cannot be employed full time. Control Limited. In many counties control Is limited to a single engineer who, In many cases, is poorly paid and Is inexperienced or relatively Incompetent. Only the larger or richer counties have sufficient income to employ competent engineers. Also elective local authorities seldom have the qualifications necessary for highway administration. There Is a tendency for them to permit considerations other than the requirements of traffic and other properly controlling conditions to influence their administration. The outward movement of population in metropolitan areas has caused a rapid growth of suburban sections. Generally, each of these urban units has partial Jurisdiction over sections, of the county highways within its borders, and the lack of a common plan has been a serious obstacle to continuous and consistent improvement of main highways. This condition, coupled with the rapid increase in traffic has resulted in serious congestion. In these areas, says the bureau, land values are higher and with the concentration of population more an-- better highways can be supported. Keeping Records on the Poultry Business Best farmers feel that, poultry L just a side line to be watched over and cared for by the women on the farm and as a consequence they pay very little attention to keeping an account of the income and expenditures Involved in the management of the poultry flock. Often this condition exists even though the flock may be getting the best of care and may be receiving a very ration. Such a feeling should not exist, however. Poultry flocks are one of the big sources of farm income. Furthermore, they furnish, under proper management, a very steady income from week to week throughout the 12 months of the year. It would be an easy matter to keep a record of this income, and in many Instances this is done. Too often the poultry flock bookkeeping ceases with the record of the income and does not lake into account the cost of keeping the flock. Many keeping d Brooder House Needed Now for Young Chicks Probably no building is more needed right now than a new brooder house. One of the chief sources of loss of baby chicks comes from hick of proper brooding facilities, and a good brooder house will very nearly pay its cost In the first season. A brooder house is not a complicated structure. A simple shed type is common, but it must be built with a warm floor, tight, warm walls and a tight roef. The use of good heavy building paper on the inside walls will stop all possibility of cracks, and will make it easier to maintain an even temperature. Bear in mind that in cold weather 60 per cent of the heat of a building is lost through the roof. Therefore, use an extra layer of build ing paper or one thickness of heavy waliboard under the roof.

Salt Lake City, No. 11-1- 929 Much more profit could be realized from the growing of sweet potatoes than is now made if diseases in the field,, storage, and transit were reduced. The inability of farmers to keep sweet potatoes in storage forces them to sell the bulk of their crop ns soon as it Is dug, a time when prices are at the low point. Specialists of the United States Department o. Agriculture are of the opinion that more sweet potatoes would be available for winter use and disposed of at a good price if storage methods and principles were better understood. In Farmers Bulletin No. 1059-F- , Sweet-PotatDiseases, Just issued grow- by the department, sweet-potat- o ers will find much Information of value concerning the prevention and control of storage and other diseases of tlnir crop. Disinfection of the seed, use of immune varieties, and crop rotation are some of the practices advocated for the control of disease. Sweet potatoes infected with field diseases should never be placed in storage, for heavy losses will follow. o Numerous diseases are described in the bulletin, together with practical measures to adopt in reducing losses therefrom.
