In response to requests for information, the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agriculture has collected from the highway departments of the various states figures indicating the profitable number of returned soldiers and sullors that can be used during 1919 in road construction and repair work.Of the 38 states re- plylng only 29 gave definite figures.They report they can use 11,637 soldlers and sallors as skilled laborers, and 91, 904 as unskilled.Under the head of skilled labor the state highway departments were asked to report on the requirements for masons, carpenters, quarry bosses, concrete finishers, road foremen, roller men and superintendents.Unskilled laborers were not separated into classes.The states that have thus far given definite figures, with the estimated number of men that may be used, are: Alabama, skilled 60, unskilled 1,000; Arizona, skilled 48, unskilled 100; Colorado, unskilled 1,250; Connecticut, skilled and unskilled, 4,000; Delaware, skilled 100; unskilled 1,000; Florida, skilled 685; unskllled 4,315; Georgia, skilled and unskilled, 4,000; Idaho, unskilled, 200; Illinois, skilled 2,500, unskilled 15,000; Kansas, skilled 1,000; unskilled 4,800; Kentucky, skilled 826; unskilled 3,500; Loulsiana, skilled 110, unskilled 1,000; Maine, skilled 100; unskilled 1,000; Massachusetts, skilled, 150; unskilled, 2,000; Michigan, skilled 200, unskilled 2,500 ; Minnesota, skilled 1,200, unskilled 4800; Mississippi, skilled and unskilled, 2,000; Montana, skilled 104, unskilled 644; Nebraska, skilled 267, unskilled 2,250; Nevada, skilled 35, unskilled 265; New Hampshire, skilled 332, unskilled 1,000; New Good Roads Between Annapolis and Baltimore\u2014Job for Many Men to Build and Maintain Road Like This, .York, skilled 1,400, unskilled 7.000; Oregon, skilled 270, unskilled 2,430; Rhode Island, skilted 50, unskilled 450 ; Routh Carolina.unskilled, 1,500; Vir- ginin, skilled 900, unskilled 5,100; Washington, skilled and unskilled, 2000; West Virginia, skilled 700, unskilled 9,300; Wisconsin, skilled 600, unskilled 7,500.EXPENSE OF CONCRETE ROAD Average Cost for Surface Only Estimated at About $12,300 Per Mile\u2014Filling Cracks.(By A.W.DEAN, Chief Engineer Mass.Highway Commission.) The average cost of a concrete sur face, 15 feet wide, not including grading, drainage, culvert work, ete, but including the concrete surface only, is about $12,800 per mile, according to contract prices under which concrete ronds have been constructed by this commission.Of course, the cost of grading, drainage, culverts, ete, will vary greatly.So far as the concrete surface bee coming more or less cracked and full of holes after three or four years is concerned, I would state it Is true that it oracks to a certain extent, but if properly built, with expansion Joints, no holes will appear, and very few cracks, and the cost of filling the cracks with bitumen is very slight.GOOD GARDEN IS BIG ASSET Useful for Fresh Vegetablés and Surplus May Be Stored for Use During Winter.A good garden is very useful for fresh vegetables, Where there ls a surplus the vegetables may be stored : und saved for future use, In this way you may have nice vegetables, easily and quickly served in winter.The result will be better and cheaper living from the farm.TESTING FUEL SYSTEM CARBURETOR IN OPERATING AN ENGINE \u2014 AND ADJUSTING (Prepared by the \u201cUnited States Department of Agriculture.) When an examination has shown that a good spark is being obtained at the right time, the next step is to see whether the engine is receiving the proper mixture of fuel and air, Many carburetors are made so that it is casy to remove the cover and see whether there is gasoline in the bowl, and where this is possible it is the easlest way to determine whether the fuel supply is all right up to that point.Other types of carburetor have tight covers, but are equipped with small petcocks, by opening which one can determine whether a supply of fuel is available.If there is no fuel in the carburetor, cither the tank is empty or there is some obstruction in the pipe line between the tunk and the carburetor.Water in Gasoline System.To see that the carburetor contains jit liquid which looks like gasoline, however, is not enough, as water and gusoline look very much alike, and it is A Gasoline Engine Furnishing Power to Pump Water.not at all uncommon for water to be present in the gasoline system.Nelth- er does this water always enter the system when it is being filled, as is generally supposed.It is often the re- xult of condensation of moisture on the sides of the gasoline tank, which runs \u201cdown and settles at the lowest points iin the system.This may be in the | \u2018bottom of the carburetor, in the supply ; pipe, or in the strainer, or settling!

Because the best ylelding varieties of cotton produce 20, 30, and even 40 per cent more than the poor varicties, as shown by experienced results, a campaign Is being waged in Louisiana by the State Agricultural college, in department of agriculture, to secure the planting of only high-yielding varieties.It is emphasized that whatever variety is planted, it should bo pure: that is, every stalk should be similar in appearance and in productive capacity to every other stalk.The mixed or hybrid variety will never do this, for many of the stalks will be barren or will be \u201cshy\u201d producers.It is also emphasized that the cotton grower should not depend wholly upon improved seed as his means for increasing yields, for a fertile soil is the most important feature in- successful cotton growing.\u201cIt is a very poor policy,\u201d say officials !n charge of the campaign, \u201cto plant very poor land in cotton at all.\u201d WHITEWASH FOR HEN HOUSE Disinfectant Given to Put Coop and Fixtures in Sanitary Condition \u2014Use Pump.The following disinfectant white- wush muy be used to put the poultry house and fixtures in a sanitary condition: Five quarts cream of lime, one quart kerosene, one pint coal tar disinfectant and equal parts of water.This is applied with a force pump if possible, ns this method will drive the material into every part of the interior of the house, The doors and windows are left open for a couple of hours in order that the house may become thoroughly dry.The floor and nests are then relittered and the birds allowed to go back into the house, MAINTAIN A FARM WOODLOT Proven by Experience That 10 Per Cent of Farm Area Should Be Devoted to Trees, No farm acre should lie idle, All land may be made to respond with that product which It is most capable of sustaining.In the case of the non- agricultural and rough farm land, a portion of it may be maintained in a farm woodlot, Experience has proved that 10 per cent of the farm aren should be maintained in tree cover, used for woodlot purposes, Still other lund thinly set with trees or without forest cover, hut agriculturally unprofitable, may well be devoted to special tree crops, and among these are the nut-bearing trees, \u201cKAISER\u201d PEA CHANGES NAME Variety Known as \u201cMcAdoos\u201d and Are as Widely Distributed as Liberty Bonds, (Prepared by the United Stawes Depart ment of Agriculture) Farmers who want to buy quantities of the variety of field pea introduced several yenrs ago by the United States department of agriculture from Germany, and then known ne the \u201cKaiser\u201d pea, will save trouble by not using that name any more.These peas are now known as \u201cMeAdoos,\u201d and they are ns widely distributed through the North.west as Liberty bonds, which eausel | the substitution in nomenclature, | EGGS FOR HATCHING Purebred 8.C.Rhode Island Reds, good lay- FOR SALE OR EXCHAGE 15 h.p.Gray Gasoline engine, nearly new, PS rita ag for $1.00 delivered in the derteot working order.Will sell for one-hal ses.A.A.BRYANT .its actual value, or exchange for livestock.16 \"2 CRD.L'Beehe, Que.| R.G.GOOD, Boynton.THE AMES GARAGE DERBY LINE, VT.I am putting in a general line of FORD PARTS, and will carry ome of the most complete lines of these goods to be found in the country.Complete Line of Accessories All Kinds of Repairing, including Brazing and Welding promptly and skillfully executed by experienced workmen.At your service both day and night.GEORGE T.AMES, Proprietor fl The Caswell & O'Rourke Store Company GENERAL STORE Rubber Boots are actually cheaper than last year and the Boots have been manufactured since Jan.1st Ball Band Gum Rubber Boots at $4.50 Vac Rubber Boots, the best boot ever made 5.00 Boys\u2019 Boots, Misses\u2019 Boots, Children\u2019s Boots and more Rubbers for everbody than we ever had SPECIAL Nut Butter 35c lb.Touraine Coffee 45c.Car of Cotton Seed Meal at Depot.Car of Maple Sugar Pails and Syrup Cans.A few more Tons of Middlings at our Canada Store House.The Caswell & O'Rourke Store Company MENNNEEERNNERNENNSENENSEENEBENHHHNNESEE THE YOUNG GARAGE MY GARAGE IS NOW READY FOR BUSINESS Gasoline, Oils and Supplies Ample Floor Space Efficient Workmen Prompt Service at any hour of the twenty-four \"Phone this Garage if you need assistance, and we will soon be with you.Full Line of Tires E.A.YOUNG ELM STREET, -

Much remains to be done in rural districts, according to the annual report of the secretary of agriculture, to control such pests as mosquitoes and the hookworm, to eliminate the sources of typhoid fever, and, even more, to give the country districts the advantage of modern hospitals, nurs- fng and specialized medical practice.Noting that many agencies, some of them private enterprises with large funds, are working for improvement, the report says that the department of agriculture, through its home demonstration service, is giving valuable aid, and the public-health service is increasingly extending its functions.To what extent the further projection of effort Is a matter for state or local action remains to be determined, says the secretary, but it seems clear that there should be no cessation of activities until there has been completed in every rural community of the Union an effective sanl- tary service and, through the provi- slon of adequate machinery, steps taken to control and ellminate the | sources of disease and to provide the necessary modern medical and dental facilities, easily accessible to the mass of the people.Truly Peculiar Bequest.Some years ago there died In Montreal a wealthy old Scotsman who had been noted for his shrewdness in business matters.One of the bequests in his long will was a halrbrush that he had used for many years.This halr- brush he gave to his nephew, with the proviso that the sald brush should be kept In the family vault two months out of twelve.During the brush\u2019s sojourn in the vault the legatee was not to brush, comb or cut his halr.The acceptance of the brush meant that the nephew was to inherit and enjoy two-thirds of the estate, and we have not the slightest doubt that this fortunate young man willingly became a \u2018shock-head- ed Peter\u201d in order t8 fulfill his eccentric uncle's wishes.Damage From Fires.This is the time of ycar when great caution should be exercised to prevent fires,

SQUIRRELS TO SAVE CROPS Idaho Farmers Saved $1,250,000 in 1918 by Successful War on Rodents, POWDERED STRYCHNINE USED Poison Acts Very Quickly Through the Mouth and Cheek Pouches\u2014 Saccharin and Corn Sirup Make Bait Palatable.By combating ground squirrels Idaho farmers saved over $1,250,000\u2014in crops during 1918.Twenty-two coun- tiles and 4,025 farmers co-operated with the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture in stamping out the squirrel pest, and as a result 277,751 acres were cleared of the rodents.It is estimated that this ground .squirrel eradication work in Idaho saved at least 5 per cent of the total crops of that state whick formerly went to pay the yearly rodent tribute, As one farmer phrases it, \u201cI used to consider that the squirrels had a mortgage on 25 percent of my crops, as they devoured one-fourth of all I produced.Now after I have cleared my farm of squirrels, I harvest and save 100 per cent of all the crops I grow.\u201d In Bonneville county, Idaho, 114 farmers distributed 6,223 pounds ot poisoned oats over 11,871 acres, and as a direct and immediate result saved $41,265 worth of farm crops which otherwise would have been consumed by the squirrels.In the eradication campuign, one farmer in this county distributed poisoned bait over one of his ficlds and less than one hour later when he returned to the field he counted 278 dead ground squirrels, six rub- bits and ten rock chucks which had fallen prey to the deadly bait.Poison Used.ldaho farmers formerly used stryche- nine sulphate prepared in a variety ot ways to poison ground squirrels, but becuuse this material proved unsatisfactory, the use of powdered strych nine (alkaloid) is now practiced in the organized campaigns.This poison acts very rapidly through the mouth and cheek pouches instead of through the stomach.It is prepared by mixing one tablespoonful of gloss starch in one-half teacupful of cold water and then stirring this combination into one-half pint of bolling water to make a thin, clear paste.Then one ounce of powdered strychnine (alkaloid) ig mixed with one ounce of baking soda in a little water and stirred with the sturch Into a smooth, creamy mass, free of lumps.Then one-fourth pint of heavy corn sirup, one tablespoonful of glycerin and one scant teaspoon ful of saccharin dissolved in a little warm water are stirred together.This Franklin Ground Squirrel.solution is spread over 12 quarts ot oats and mixed thoroughly in order to cont each kernel.One quart of this poison is sufficient for 40 to 60 baiîts.The material\u2014scattered one teaspoonful to a place\u2014should be distributed along the clean, hard surfaces near the squirrel holes where it will not endanger live stock and where there is no chance for the rodrnts to waste the material by tramping over it or by covering it with refuse from their holes, as would occur were the bait to he placed directly in their burrows, Control Columbian Squirrels.Columbian ground squirrels are not controlled by this method of eradication, as they hull oats very carefully before eating them, and hence avoid tte poison.Therefore a special method of prepuring balt for these squirrels is used so that as they hull the oats the poisua flakes off In the rodents\u2019 mouths and kills them.The Columbian squirrel bait 1s prepared by combining in dry mixture one ounce of powdered stryehnine (alkaloid) and one ounce of baking soda, one teaspoonful of saccharin and three tablespoonfuls of flour, adding a little cold water and stirring thoroughly to a smooth, creamy paste, This mixture is distributed uniformly over 12 quarts of outs as in the former case, and the poison baîlt scattered as previously described, This poison should be used within 10 to 14 days ufter preparation, as otherwise the nm- terial will dust off the grain.Poison ground squirrels ns early in the \u201cpring ac possible, as in this way the natural Increase of young squirrels is eliminated.The poisoning cam- puign should he continued throughout the year until the section is free of these pests, The rodents will eat the poison baits at any time, Attention should be given to destroying the squirrels in all their haunts in pastures, uncultivated flelds, fence rows, and roads, as well ax from the culti- vitted fields where complete extermination of the pets js sought, IS COMMANDER OF NEGRO REGIMENT Col.ing 309th infantry, negro troops, Is one of the most popular communders | William Hayward, command- in the army.Both he and his troops covered
