ers that the price of wire is higher
than 1t should be, and that some trust
promoters and others have been fat
tening at the expense of the Western
farmer. Certain 1t is that the cost OF
any fencing is now so considerable
that the amount required should be
reduced to the minimum, and the first
step in doing this is to have the law
changed to compel every one to fence
in his own animals.
OF course. the cry viii be raised that
this is oppressive to the poor man. that
it is taking away his pasture. etc. We
have found, however. that where the
law has been changed the poor man
has been able to find pasture for his
cow, and she has certainly Jared much
better than before. The roadside very
rarely affords good pasture, and when
to scant and uncertain feed are added
racing by boys, tormenting by dogs
and clubbing by angry owners of dam
aged gardens or crops, the lot of the
highway cow is not such as to make it
any real charity to her owner to allow
her to be a highway cow. 1t is GER
tainly very expensive charity and the
quicker 1t is ended the better for the
community.-Jo NJ. Stahl, in The

Progress in Poultry Kcep,nr.

Within the past ten years poultry
has made rapid strides as an industry
in this country, largely owing to the
perfection of incubation and brooders.
1t is now customary on large poultry
farms to hatch chicks in November
for the early market, the chicks being
sold when less than one pound weight
each, they being substituted for
squads, which are usually scarce in
January and February. Later in the
spring the demand is for heavier
chicks. Some poultrymen hatch chicks
for market every month in the year.
Although prices are lower in summer
the expense for food and care is less
than in winter. Choice broilers bring
high prices, but the large majority of
chicks that reach the market after
Christmas is not of sufficient quality
to come up to the requirements of
choice" and the chicks do not. there
fore, bring the best prices.

Road Making.

I T Is pretty certain in our judg-
ment that the farmer. sooner or
later. will be forced to construct
better highways. The bicycle
people, while perhaps not quite so en-
ergetic in the matter as they were a
few years ago. are still calling for bet
ter roads, and there is a sufficient
large vote at their command TO give
influence to their demand upon legis-
lation. There is a disposition to create
new offices in the connection with
the Improvement of roads, and the
prospects are exceedingly good for
the introduction of road building re-
form, whether we farmers like it or
not. 1t, therefore, behooves us to
look into the matter ourselves. Per-
haps, in many instances, at least, we
can improve our roads in n substan-
tial manner ourselves, and at much
less expense than the State would do
it for us. The gravel road is a good
one. II IL has any foundation, and
where there is no foundation it is
difficult to see how n good road can
be constructed with any reasonable
outlay. If there is a good natural
foundation, and gravel is applied to
the centre of the road, and good drain
age provided. we shall have a road
that is substantial, as substantial as
scientific" road makers could con-
struct. The application OF coal oil, as
is generally known. makes a good
road though what the cost is we are
not advised. Wherever oil has been
applied the results have been satisfac-
tory. We apprehend, however. that
such a road is not satisfactory to the
wheelmen. We suspect, too, that
while crude oil is used it is too ex-
pensive. Otherwise we might expect
a more extensive application of the
method.
We probably may safely conclude
that the Improvement of roads will
take the shape of either tramways-
wide iron rails on which the wheels
are to run or stone construction.
The tramway would seem to be the
only practical method in sections
where there is no natural foundation.
and it is unquestionably the cheapest
road anywhere. Where gravel is

proftably used. In some localities
there is no gravel, but there is plenty
of limestone. 1t would pay. under
such circumstance, for the authori-
ties to purchase a stone crusher and
prepare this limestone for application
to the roads. In every State labor
puts up a fierce fight against the en-
ployment of convict labor in manu-
featuring articles Of commerce, though
just why mechanic who is unfortu-
nate enough to get into prison, should
become a non-producer and a gentle
man of leisure. is not plain. Passing
all that, convicts might be proftably
employed in crushing stone for road
building. There would he no antag
onism to this kind of employment,
for 1t is not one that is sought by
those opposed to convict labor The
application of crushed stone thus
prepared-with a covering of sand,
and rolled with n heavy roller. would
make an excellent road. and would not
be very expensive, provided the stone
was close at hand.-W c. Hall, in
The Epitomist.
