THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY,
Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 2—Although
hampered by insufficient funds where-
with to build first-class highways
throughout the Commonwealth, the
State Highway Department expects
to spend such money as is available
Jn putting the highways of Pennsyl-
wahim in as good ‘a condition as is
possible during 1914. This was made
clear in a statement issued by the
Department this week in which the
program for the coming season was
outlined.
The appropriatioms made by the
last Legislature fot the purpose of! ga
road construction wnder the Sproul
Act have been c¢Imost exhausted and
the Department lis now waiting a le-
gal decision as $0 the momeys in the
State Treasury received ‘from the
taxation of moter vehicles. The last
Legislature appropriated #11 moneys
hereafter ‘collected from this source
to the State Highway Department
for use in the construction and main-
tenance ‘of highways but the Auditor
General ‘has raised the point that
the Legislature excesded its powers
in thus ecting and that the moneys
must be specifically appropriated by
each Legislature for this purpose.
Pending" a decision en this questiom,
the State Highway ‘Department has
been -umable to obtain the money
mow in the State Treasury and this
2 delayed the laying of piams for
i oming season.
State Highway Commissioner E. M.
Bigelow has d«leecided that if the
automobile meney is made available
“for road work, the amount shall be
used for putting:in shape as many
of the highways'in the state as pes-
sible. It is hisiintention to have the
goads gone over, scraped and elehned |
and then to haye all gutters eleamed
out and repaired and to have dhe
drains and culverts fixed. After this
thes‘been done the roads will be pa-
trolled and efforts will be made to
keep them in.as nearly perfeet<con-
«dition as possible. It will net be
feasible to procecd with mueh in
ithe way of construction of new high-
ways, since the amount of money
available will not suffice to do more
than keep the highways in passable
‘condition.
The foregoing program, of eeurse,
does not. apply to work to be done on
State.aid applications. There re-
mains from the appropriations made
by the last Legislature a sufficient
sum to enable a certain amount of
work to be done on these applica-
tions .made by counties, townships
pesoughs but even this amount
is far below that which would be
required to comply with all of the
applications now on file at the De-
ent.
AE
Perhaps the most notable work
to be dune during the coming season
will ‘be that of maintenance and the
Maintenance Department is planning
an active year. Repair of worn-out
roads and resurfacing! of others
where the vehicular traffic is heavy
occupy the time and labor of .the
eDepartment during a greater part of
the season.
When the new experimental labor-
atory for road making materials is
established it is expected that - a
school. of instruction: for road mak-
. ers will form a portion of its actiy-
ities and this, it is hoped, will result
in the transmission of a great deal
of teehnical knowledge to the men
who will be in charge of the actual
construction of the highways.
The State Highway Department
maps of the. counties in the state
are being eagerly sought for by these
who are .anxious to have accurate
, data on the roads in the various
counties. These maps, which are
made from -snryeys by the Depart-
ment engineers, are of the same
quality that .map makers usvally
charge for.at the rate of from $2.00
to $3.50. They are furnished to the
public by the State Highway De-
partment atthe nominal cost of 25
cents each. At the present time
the Department has for sale maps
of the following counties:—Bucks,
Chester, Clarion, Crawford, Dauphin,
Delaware, Erie, Fulton, Juniata,
Lancaster, Montgomery, Perry, Pike,
Warren and Wyoming. Maps of
several ‘of the other counties have
been, prepared but the Department
is unable to have them printed
owing to insufficient appropriations
for that purpose by the last Legis-
laturs.

DARKNESS AND LIGHT.
——
LESSON TEXT-Luke 11:14-26, 33-35.
GOLDEN TEXT — “Look therefore
whether ‘the light that is in thee be not
rkness.” Luke 11:35,
I. The Accusation (vv. 14-16.) The
fact of demonology as revealed in the
New 'Testamient records is here
strongly emphasized. Their existence,
their malignity, their evil powers,
their relation to the devil, amd yet
their subjection to our Lord, is all
clearly ‘set before us. The devil had
80 taken possession of this man that
he ‘could not speak, yet a word from
Jesus, mand the dumb spake. That he
should have such power caused the
‘people to “wonder” (v. 14). Hig mir-
acles were for one principal Teason
(John 5:36). Matthew tells ws (12:23)
‘that“in this case they asked the ques-
tio: “Is this the Som of David,” e.ig.,
the promised Messiah? Whe Tecord
‘does not, however, indicate that ‘they
‘believed on him—were converted.
They knew what had been prophesied
@bout the Coming Ome (Isa. 29:18,
32:3, 4), yet they hesitated ‘to ‘come
‘out on his side. Imto the midst of
‘their controversy (w. 15, Matt. 12:24;
Mark 3:22) the Scribes and Pharisees
projected themselves. They had
come down from Jermsalem seeking,
“that they might accuse him” (John
19:35, 36). It is ever thus ‘that the
devil seeks to divert.
_ Convincing Logic.
II.| The Defense (wv. 17-20). “But
he, knowing their thoughts.” Evident-
ly they dared not openly to make their
accusations. They would not accept
the natural and true explanation.
Jesus endured this contradition and
these charges for ws (Isa. 53:3, 4),
and must not bis disciples expect a
like treatment? (Matt. 10:25). With
convincing logic Jesus reveals their
motive (v. 16) and demonstrates the
untenable position and conclusion
which resulted from their own charge.
Satan is not fighting himself. A king
never sends an army against his own
emy. Therefore, out of their own ac-
knowledgement that the devils were
of God has come upon them. Such an
accusation (v. 15) was to Jesus an ev-
idence of the depravity of their hearts.
There is keen sarcasm in the answer |
he demanded from them (v. 19). Evi-
dently they, too, had had power over |
demons, and it is easy to see the gu
lemma into which he led them. This
victed men out of their own testi-
mony (Matt. 21:25).
III. The Application (vv. 21-26).
With a true teacher’s skill Jesus
drives home the truth brought out in
the preceding paragraph. Satan is a
“strong man,” but he, Jesus, is strong-
er. He has power to ‘overcome and to
take from the strong man his armor
(defense), and his spoil, and to bind
him fast (v. 22; Mark 3:27; Rev.
20:2). Those bound by chains of sin
are the spoil of Satan, and Jesus is
the only one powerful -enough to—
—break the power of canceled sin
And set the prisoner free.
Cleanse the “Palace.”
With Christ there must be entire
possession; there ean be no neutrality
(v. 23). We cannot belong to Christ
and be a slave to Satan, to mammon,
to self, or even to others whom we
may love. The persistence of evil is
here indicated. Unclean spirits are
ever seeking a habitation. Therefore
it is not enough for a man to be
cleansed, his dwelling must be occu-
pied, and if the Holy Spirit does not
take possession, the evil one will. The
parable that follows (vv. 24-26)
teaches this truth negatively. In one
case Satan is dislodged hy Christ,’ he
finds the “palace” (v. 22) (man) to
be pre-occupied. In this case the pal-
ace is empty (Matt. 12:44). The ab-
sence of a positive attachment, too, or
possession by, Jesus Christ, involves
hostility to him. This picture is that
of the reformed man, not of the re-
generated man. This latter hag his
place pre-occupied, and the returning
Spirit can find no place of abode. Un-
less, however, such be the case, the
latter end of that man is far WOTrse
than his first state; witness the gold-
cured intemperate men who return to
their cups (2 Pet. 2:22); they return
because they have no strong defender
to drive off the returning enemy.
This application’ and principle here
propounded may, and: does, account
for most of the back-sliding after many
of the so-called conversions, viz., that
the germ of character has not been
generated (John 3:7). It ig by far
the most difficult proposition in
Christian work to reach one who is
thus gospel hardened.

ROUP IN THE CHICKEN FLOCK
Disease Is Prevalent Where Fowis Are
Kept in Filthy, Damp and Poor
ly Ventilated Quarters.
By F. W. KAZMEIER.)
Roup is prevalent in flocks kept in
filthy, damp, poorly ventilated quar-
ters. Vigorous stock in good sur
roundings proves quite resistent to the
disease
roup if the specific germ is not pres-
ent. The common belief is that roup
is developed from a neglected cold.
"This is not the case, although it sup-
plies the gonditions so that the roup
germs can ieasily get a foothold.
For the benefit of those who have
been unlucky enough to get this ter
rible disease introduced into their
flock I give the following successful
way of combating roup: First, re
rove all conditions which tend to fos-
ter it, next, remove all affected birds
a8 soon as discovered. Place them in
a clean, dry room, of even tempera-
ture, that is free from draughts of air.
If you desire to doctor them, treat as
soon as the earliest symptoms are
detected. Disinfect the poultry house
and runs with a five per cent. solution
of carbolic acid and repeat this disin-
fec ion at least once a week. Feed a
well balanced ration containing ‘some
meat scraps. Burn all dead birds. A
far developed roupy chicken is worth
more dead than alive. One good rem-
edy is to put a few drops of kemosene
oil on the affected fogl's head. This
|is also excellent for common colds.
| Peroxide of hydrogen and water half
| and ha.f, or ereolin or carbolic acid in
| two per cent. soluticn may be mused in
| the same manner. One of the remedies,
that as a rule gives the best results,
| is a solution of twe ounces of perman-
| ganate of potash im six pints of water.
| Sabmerge the fowls head in it jus
| long enough to prevent it ‘from suffo-
| cating. Any of these liquids will help
| clear the nasal and throat passages
and destroy disease germs.
A good preventive is to dissolve
| two ounces of permanganate of potash
| in twelve parts of water and give to
all the birds'to drink at least three
times a week and on such days give
no other water to drink.
Remember, the very best preventive
| is an abundance of fresh air without
draughts, plenty of sunshine and sani-
|
|
i
f
|
| tary surroundings, and guard against
| introducing the germ.
COCHIN IS FAVORITE BREED

s Four Varieties, Each Having Single |
is not the only time that Jesus con- Combs and Differing Only in |
Point of Plumage Color,
The question is frequently asked,
| what is the best breed of chickens?
| The answer depends entirely upon
what purpose you wish them for, and
| can be answered best by yourself.
The larger birds are intended as a
combination fowl, i. ©, to produce
both eggs and meat in desirable quan-
tities, while the smaller and more ac-
tive breeds are considered the egg
machines, and many breeders of them
claim excellent table qualities for
them, which no doubt they possess,
the only objection being their small
size.
. The Cochin is-an old and popular
breed 2nd has four varieties, each
having single combs, and differing
only in point of plumage color, which
is: Buff, partridge, black and white,
the buff being, the preference. Their |
weights are: Coeks, 11 pounds; cock- |
erels, 9; hens, 81%; pullets, 7. |
The other varieties in this class
are: The Langshans, black and white. |

wooden troughs for dry feeding should

Herewith are given some ideas for
hoppers which are adaptable for small
or large flocks as dry feed receptacles
or for wet feed if the trough part is
of metal. Any handy man can make
them of wood. If of metal, the help
of a tinsmith may be needed.
Hopper No. 1 is a useful style in a
poultry house having an alley-way
with a partition between it and the
poultry compartments. It is arranged
80 that the feeding trough for the
fowls is replenished from the chute-
like trough opening into it from the
alley-side of the partition. The feed-
ing portion is six inches wide and
three inches deep, with a cover that

chute is nine inches high, and six
inches wide at the top, with a hinged
cover. The space through which the
feed passes from the chute to the
trough is three inches high.
When the feed is poured into the
chute it fills the trough gradually,
but without enough pressure to over-
flow it. As the birds eat the feed
in the chute gradually settles into the

Legislction For he Child.
The Palmer Child Labor Bill intro-
duced in Congress Jan 26 by A. Mit-
chell Palmer of Pennsylvania for the
National Child Labor Committee is a
radical departure from the other
measures designed to this abuse by
Federal Law.
The bill is drawn on the general
lines of the Pure Food and Drugs Act
and seeks to prohibit employment of
children under 14 years in manufae-
turing occupations and to limit the ’
work of children under 16 to eight
hours per day, It also fixes the age
limit for mines and quarries at 16.
Section 1 of the bill which contains
the standasds sought readsas follows:
‘‘No person, partnership, association
or corporation or any agent or em-
ploye thereof manufacturing, produe-
ing or dealing in the products of any
mine or quarry in which children un-
der ‘age of16 are employed or per-
mitted to work at any time; or at any
time; or of any mill, cannery work-
shop, factory or manufacturing es-
tablishment In which children under
14 years of age are employed or per-
mitted to work at any time or im
which children between the ages of 14
and 16 years ane employed or permif-
