In most cases the stable Is at fault. It will be ankle deep In wet manure and soggy trash. The man who permits such s condition to exist will use the currycomb and brush only when be feels like It Muddy roads, filthy stable floors and lack of proper care of the horses' feet are nearly certain to result In an at tack of "scratches" some time during the winter. Scratches is an inflammation result ing from dirt, filth and cold, aggra vated by driving or working in the mud. It is bard to cure. Prevention Is easy compared with curing the cracks aud raw sores that accompany the irritation. Briefly stated, this trouble may be prevented by keeping the stall clean and removing the mud from the horse's feet If there are no holes to colhvt urine nud liquid tilth In the stable floor. If manure Is promptly removed and plenty of dry bedding is provided, there will be no apiiearance of scratches. SHOTES THAT THUMP. Lack of Exercisa and Damp Bads Often Causa the Disease. When we have wintered fall pigs in the opeu field with a run of tell rods to feeding place we have never hud a pig affected with thumps, but when run nlng in the feed lot and sleeping in u nearby hog house that was closer and warmer we had trouble with thumps, writes (5. I. Williams in the National Stockman. The longer these shotes are left In the drove the worse they thump and sooner or later die. We have ! found two treatments that proved suc cessful. The first treatment la to take the af fected pig from the drove us soon as he v E it V it -V AS. X At one time the Chester Whits was rated as the largest breed In the United State, but the tendency of modern breeding- ha been to ward the production of a finer boned, smoother and smaller hoc than the older type, and at present the Chester White I similar to the Poland China in size, though It is commonly claimed that It Is a larger breed. The face Is straight, and the snout Is usuelly a little longer than that of the I'oland China, la B'-neral conformation the Cheater White Is similar to the Poland Chi na, though often longer In body. The Illustration show a prize win ning Chester White boar. is observed thumping and sell to B shipper, eveu though a special trip be necessary to take him to the yards. TIil- other method is designed to be ef fective unci consists In turning the af fected sliote Into a field with a small pen only m-nntlly supplied with bed ding. The pig generally does n good deal of fretting along the fence In try- I lng to get out, und In a few days this exercise und fresh ulr will often be found to have stopped his thumping. Dust, lack of exercise, sudden change from warm pens to outside drafts, damp beds, etc., are common causes of thumps, n nd remedial agencies must be along the line of correcting these details. Watering Cows. Where water la before cows con-' stantly it Is Interesting to note how often they will take a few swullows, then go uhead with eating or chewing cud, says Hoard's Dairyman. It would be hard to estimate the benefit of hav ing water before the cows In winter when it Is warmed to the temperature of even a cold burn over the system of turning cows out to drink once or twice a day from a tank thut is too often frozen, or even If the water is fairly warm the atmosphere is too cold for cow comfort, and she Is compelled to drink far too much at ono time, thereby chilling her and diverting en ergy thut should be used In making milk to bringing her temperature up to normal.

The white of au egg Is S.S.P2 per cent protein and the yolk 30.'J per cent, and a hen requires much protein to keep up the bodily functions. Many disregard these facts and feed no meat in winter.

Collection to Be on View at Panama- Paoifio Exposition. Arrangement are to lie made by the fulled Slates department of agricul ture, through Ixigan Waller I'age, ill rector of the olllco of public roads, to place on exhibition at the ranaiua-l'a-cllic exposition in 11)15 the greatest collection of road models ever display ed In any part of the world. The mod el will furnish exact duplicates of tho old Itotnau roads, French roads and alt of the various types of modern roads, together with miniature models of road machinery operated by electricity. The ottlce of public roads made sn exhibit of roud models for the first time at the Alaska-Yukon -Pacinc ex position. The aim was to put on view such striking examples in miniature of road models that visitors would not only appreciate the beuellcent effects of Improved highways, but would, at the same time, be able to understand the methods of their construction. Sim-e the Alaska-Yukon Pacific ex position closed, tho eihlhlt has been displayed at numerous oilier exposi tions and fairs lu many purls of the country and In South America and Kil rope, lu the meantime, (he collection has been greatly augmented until ev ery single type of road Is now repre sented nnd every known de Ice Used lu the making of romls bus Ins-n re produced in miniature. The models have also been displayed on road (rains at all Important places along the route of the Pennsylvania railroad !n the state of Pennsylvania, the entire system of the Southern rail way. Hie Frisco lines, the Atlantic Coast line and the Nashville, ('hatlu-noou-i an, I SI. Louis railway. As a result of the Inst met Ion furnish ed by these road models many farmers have Joined forces to Improve their own highways, and the road building movement bus bad a great Impel us. When application for expert advice concerning any special road problem is made to (ho department the olllco of public roads furnishes It without ex acting any fees. DETAILS OF ROAD MAKING. Construction, Maintenance and Water ways Ar Difficult Problems, "Of all the factors which go to make up (he perfect macadam road," snya Logan Waller Page, "there Is un doubtedly none more potent than thut of the suitability of the material which enters lis construction. There are two ways In which the engineer may avail himself of the information necessiry to a proper selection of road ma terial. The first and only certain one Is to make an actual service test on the material under observation and under the sume conditions of tralllc and cllmato to which the proposed road will bo subjected. The second method is by means of short time la boratory tests to approximate as near ly as possible the destructive agencies to which tho materlul will bo subject ed on the road." A properly designed waterway struc ture should fulfill the following re quirements: Waterway sufficient to curry off promptly the water coming to It: prop er foundations to bear the lends, resist undermining and give long service; su perstructure designed to bear for a long period of years any loud which may legally be Imposed upon it, and so constructed ns to serve the comfort and convenience of travel nnd economy of maintenance. FLAGS FOR ROAD PATROL European Plan Adopted to Keep High way Repairers at Work. KIght hundred white Hugs inscribed "8. II. D. 1'utrol" lire Hying on tho highways of New York state, marking the places where the men engaged In repairing roads ure at work, according to n plan of Commissioner of High ways John N. Carlisle. Many coin plulnts huve been made regarding tho failure of patrolmen to care properly for tho highways, nnd uuder the new plan Commissioner Carlisle hopes to make the patrol service inoro effective. The flag system has been adopted from the Furopeun countries, where tho muliiteiiauce of highways has be come more of an exact sclenco than It Is In America. The display of tho little white Hags along the highways aliroud has hud the effect. Commissioner Cur lisle snys, of making patrolmen more efficient, ns tho failure on the part of the citizens of those countries to see the flags usually Is reported to headquarters. USE OF SLAG IN ROAUJUliLDING Better Than Stone For the Macadam Highway. SPARE ROLLER, SPOIL ROAD Plenty of Water Absolutely Necetiary In Manufacture of Slag Roarta Slag la Cheaper, Last Better Under All Condition and la Easier to Oet. To construct a highway correctly proper excavation should llrst be made and the auhhaso thoroughly well rolled with a roller of at least ten tons ln weight. Tills should be done no una" ter what kind of base material Is used. However. In the construction of a slag road, lu outer to obtain the very best results, It Is necessary that the loose slag I spread on the subbase to j proper depth and then thoroughly istiiiui rrtiiu iitiiM io lima nm mat work progresses. During such procedure It is recom mended that the road be kept well wet with water. If water Is available, and In finishing It Is only necessary to put on top of the stag base Uut two Inch ea of slag screenings, which contain dust and slag particles as large sa one fourth of su Inch, which, like all ce ment. Is Inert lu the dry stste. This likewise should 1st thoroughly wet and well rolled. In fsrL the top should never he put on except with plenty of water aud thoroughly rolled. This Is necessary because of the natu ral cementing qualities of slag, snd In order to get It proNrly bound this ma terlal must U rolled to eliminate a many voids as xmslhle. A slug road built under these spectfl cations, Instead of deteriorating, as Is too often tho case with most other road metals, will gradually Improve until the entire roadbed becomes solid mass, thereby giving practically a con crete road. It Is sail Indeed to watch road forces at work, not only along country high ways, but more espis-lnlly In the cltlen. 5 i AL, -- n A . . -if :ea .m.trrr v"' 7 (H'lTSMI HI. All roll IIOAII WOIIK. where there are umcadamlM-d roads, for the wiiFle of time and material Is something appalling. Streets are repaired merely by throw ing loimo slag or some other material Into the nils and. Instead of finishing the Job by rolling and compacting tho material, making It more or less per manent, the loose material Is allowed lo remain, and vehicles passing over It, Instead of compacting the filling', will cause the particles to grind Into dust, which will be carried off either by tho wind or by rapidly moving au tomobiles, leaving the street In as bad condition as before It was repaired. Slug Is the one material that not only Is cheaper ns a rule than all other road bases, but It Is uvallublo lu large quan tities and at all times, regardless of the went her. The rainy sensou has no ef fect on the shipment of slag, as is the case lu the risk quarries and gravel pits, and by reason of tho fact that it Is usually loaded at ilnts where m number of railroads center cars are avnllnble when such Is not tho caso at quarries nnd gravel pits located exclu sively on one line. The advantages to be derived fronv the use of slag In building hlghwuys may be analyzed ns follows: It Is n natural cement rock. It will cement together If properly compressed by wetting and rolling. It Is. ns a rule, vastly cheaper than any other road materlul. It Is available In large quantities and at ull times, regardless of weather con ditions. It Is an Impervious material. It Is considerably lighter In weight than stone or gravel, consequently a great saving lu freight Is effected whero distances aro equal. A New Road Material. A new road material doslirnivl to stand hard usage from automobiles Is being tried by n Swiss engineer. W. Frllcb. and Is said to consist of a mix ture of broken stone about the size of a hazelnut, but not limestone, with a binding material whose composition Is not divulged by tho Inventor. In tho present process the stone Is heated lit first from KMI to 1."i0 degrees 0. and mixed lit this temperature with the melted composition. When in use tho muss Is rcmelted in order to put It on the roud. A road roller, heated to n rather high point Is passed over the KUiface, the roller weighing about "I tons. Iteports slate that a very frond road surfuco can be obtained In this wuy,
