CLDBON COLLEGE EXTENSION WORK Hf Qnlwm mmd Its Co^rol - Sanitary T« Frotoct Hcahky When cholera exists in a neighborhood every hog owner should establish a strict quarantine on his individual premises. No one except the person taking care of the hogs should be allowed near the fields or pens where healthy hogs are confined and this man should not, un der any conditions, visit premises ufhere there are sick hogs. Dogs and buzzards should be consid ered dangerous and should be guarded against. The buzzard is undoubtedly one of the most common carriers of the disease , and it is unfortunate that these scavengers are protected by law in some sections of the State. All new hogs should be considered in fected and should be isolated until suf ficient time has elapsed (three or four weeks) to prove their freedom from disease. Hogs purchased from distant points should be protected by injection with anti-hog cholera serum before ship ment, as they are apt to be exposed to the disease en route. When cholera exists on adjoining farms hogs should be protected by in jection with anti-hog cholera serum. It is also the duty of all citizens to see that the State law relative to proper dispos al of carcasses is strictly enforced. To Provont Spread of Cholera from Infected Herds.—The sudden death of one or two hogs should lead owners to suspect cholera. Careful examination of the carcasses should at once be made, preferably by a veterinarian, and the carcasses should then be buned or burned. If the lesions found on post-mortem examination are characteristic of chol era, a strict quarantine should be es tablished and all healthy hogs should be moved to new lots or pens untii they can be protected by injection with anti hog cholera serum. Pens and lots that hare been occupied by «ck hogs should be thoroughly disinfected. The lots can be disinfected by plowing - the re fuse should first be cleaned up and burned or buned Pena, feeding troughs, etc . can be disinfected with 3 per cent solution of compound aotu- Uon of erwsoi, 5 per cent rsrhoiic acid or other satisfsrtory disinfectant Car ceases should be immediately burned or buned.

EARTH ROADS-HOW TO REPAIR AND MAINTAIN Th« Drag ia Said to ho Boat Mothod of (Cooping Roods Smooth. If you look at the ordinary country’ road after a shower you will see small puddles along the wheel ruts and some times larger pools. This water stays on the road surface because it cannot dram away into the side ditches. If you look closely you will see side ditch es which have grown up with bushes and weeds in many cases, and which are so far from the traveled part of the roa<j that the rain water does not drain into them. That part of the roadway where the wagons travel is called the traveled way. To prevent water fram standing on the traveled way the road should be raised in the center and should slope gently into broad shallow, ditches. It is then said to have a crown. If it is 10 feet from the center of the road to the side ditch, the surface at the side ditch should be at least 10 inches lower than it is at the center where the horses tra vel. The road then has a 10-inch crown. The rain that falls bn a road properly crowned will run quickly to the side and not soak into the surface or form pools. The side ditches for surface water should run parallel to the right of way, and should be open at every low point so that the water can run out of them into neighboring brooks or streams. If the ditches merely collect the water from the road surface and it cannot run away, large pools will be formed along the roadside, which will gradually soak into the soil beneath the road and make it so soft that the wheels of wagons will cut through the road surface and soon destroy it. Sometimes water runs from land along the road into the road and forms a little stream down the wheel tracks or in the middle where the horses travel. When driveways into farm yards are built across the side ditches they fre quently form channels for water from the farm sard to run into the road. The pipes under dmewa\s berime filled with leaves or ruhb.sh and the water can no longer run awav If the drivewa>s that ship the dit< h wa'rr were re! u.lt so that no pq* s were Her - eaaary and the ditch could be left o(*-n, much trouble from surface water would l*e stopped Sometimes a road runs across low ground or through a swamp whe^e the road cann.M be drained b) side ditches alone If the rowd were built higher like a railroad embankment arrows such low land and made with a crown, it would be dry and hard Sometime* a road passes through what is called a cut This is a place where the earth has been dug out so that the road can go over a hill without being loo steep The water which alwajs flow* ijuietl) under the ground on hill tides it known as ground water In road ruts such water aumetimrs make* the road serj muddy and the road then nerds whst road builders call undrrlramagr \ good kind of underdrsmagr is a trrnch to go along under the side dram and about 3 fret dt-rp arid a foot and a half wide In this trrnch s pi[««- is laid near thr bottom and Ccsrrrd with io*»*e Stones fto bigger than an egg When the trench is com >.etri> filled with looae sturtes the ground water, instead of soaking into the road * a>. will stop among the stone* and flow down the hill through the pij>e To keep a road smooth and crowned the best method is to drag it w ith a road drag A road drag is made easily with two halves of a log which has lieen split.

Alderman Out for Lieutenant Governor. Biihopville, July 7.—The Hon. B. Frank Kelley, an attorney of this place, has announced that he is a can didate for Lieutenant Governor in the Democratic primary in 1914. He is well known throughout the State, hav- inc served in the Houae of Represent atives for two years, and the State tor four years from Lee Coun- . *• often gets the best of the ar- of homes may be used to drag the road and are hitched to a chain fastened to the front half of the log. The road drag should move forward so that it slants across the road in such a way that a small amount of earth will pass the smooth face of the log toward the cen ter of the road, thus forming the crown. The edges of the logs will smooth out the ruts. The best way to drag is to begin at the side ditch and go up one side of the road, and then down the other. In the next trip the drag should be started a little nearer the center and the last trip over the road the drag may work close to the center itself. Small ridges of earth will be thrown in the horse track and smeared by the round side of the log smoothly over the road. The smearing of the earth by the drag is called "puddling” and it tends to make the surface of the road smooth and watertight after the sun comes out. The road is always dragged after it has rained and not when it is dry. A good, strong pair of horses with a well-built drag can drag about 3 or 4 miles of road in a day, and it is the best way to maintain good roads. In every county some farmer along each 4 miles of road should own a drag and drag the road when it rains. He would always find the road in good con dition when he goes to market. Owing to the fact that many rural schools were doted at the time when the prize maintenance essay was announced by Director Logan Waller Page of the Office of Public Roads, it has been decided to extend the limit and pleasing management of this journ al, which had become really distin guished under the administration of its long while scholarly editor, Maj. Holmes, of whom Barnwell was justly proud. I wish you many years of suc cess in your work and thank you sin cerely for the pleasure your paper has given me. "I am cordially yours, “Rebecca Aldrich.” Indianapolis, Ind., June 22, 1913. Dunbarton News. Dunbarton, July 8.—The Knights of Pythias and the Woodmen of the World held their annual picnic at Cypress Chapel Church on the 25th ult. The pretty girls of this section and the chil dren, with their parents, and the gallant young men all turned out en masse. It was a large and happy crowd. These folks had one of the finest dinners we have ever seen and in such quantities that there was perhaps enough to feed two or three times as many. It would not seem like hard times around old Dunbarton. The crops are poor up this way. It is the most variable season known in fifty years. Mr. Silas Rountree has returned from the Augusta Hospital, where he under went an operation for appendicitis. He looks well indeed after the ordeal through which he has passed. Many a boy has acquired some very good habits by not following in the footsteps of his father. •+•+•+•+•+•+•+•+•+•+•+•+•+ •■f*+«+»+*+«+»+*+*+*4-»+«+«+» !HOME BAN Solicits Your Borrowing and Deposit Accounts Officer* Harry D.
