SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
Office of Public Roads Now in
New Quarters.
CHARACTER OF WORK DONE

Communities.
QUALITIES OF ROAD STONE
Determined by Laboratory Expert
ments-Great Interest Manifested
Throughout Whole Country.

Another step toward the organization OF
a decent system of highways in the United
States was taken the other day when the
office of public roads moved from its old
quarters on 18th street to a new building
that has been specially put up for it's ac-
commodation On 18th street just south of
the bureau of engraving and printing. All
the testing apparatus has been moved from
the basement Of the old bureau of chem
istry at the corner of 18th and B streets
into the new building and for the first time
IN its history the road office has a building
and laboratory of It's own all under the
same roof. There is the testing laboratory
on the ground floor, light roomy place
big enough to accommodate the work for
some time to come. The administrative
offices are on the second floor, and in the
third story there are the stock rooms and
the chemical laboratory, where large
amount of research work is carried on.
1t has never been the purpose of the
government to go into the work Of road
building on an extensive scale. There Is
not money enough at the disposal of the
government in the first place and this has
always been regarded state work. But
several years ago the government COM
menced to accumulate information and
statistics on the subject of road work
through a branch of the Department of
Agriculture known as the office of road

locations of prospective roads and give
advice to the people who are going to build
them, and even put In a mile or SO OF road

in the sort Of work and the way It ought
to be done. There Is great dearth Of
competent highway engineers in this coun-
try. 1t is a work that has never been
seriously taken up by the American people,
and they are Just beginning to realize the
need of It. This need the road Office Is
trying TO supply.

Why Poultry Does Not Pay.

On. l.. BIanchard.)


Judging from the many inquiries
coming to hand there are many fiocks
of poultry that are sorely taxing the
patience of their owners. Why are
they not laying, and how to make them
lay, are the questions. Were II not
for the fact that vast majority Oh
the flocks might be thus described,
the high prices for fresh eggs tnat
have ruled for two months would sell
dom or never occur Now and then
a flock proves to be the exception,
and provides eggs for every day in the
year. This, however, is generally the
result of skillful management and
care 1t is when hit or miss methods
are not tolerated. 1t is when the poul-
try is recognized to be the equal in
importance to any other factor enter
ing into our daily cares. 1t is where
intelligence and common sense were
exercised in the care OF the parent
stock as also the eggs from which the
flock was Matched. 1t is where the
chicks were carefully brooded ana lea
on a balanced ration Ga Variety, that
produced a good all-rOund develop
ment. 1t is where the runts and poor
ly developed ones (and sometimes
there are many such, especially in
incubator hatches), are separated from
the choicest birds-thOse of thrift and
vigor-and not permitted to eventu-
ally contaminate the flock with YER
min and disease. 1t is where the cock
erels and pullets were separated when
the first and smartest bird tried first
to crow, and the pullets were given
their permanent and separate quar-
tiers and treated very much as the
laying hens should be cared for. This,
in brief, is about the history of those
young focks that begin laying in
August, and take the place of the
older birds that are living out their
moulting period of couple OF
months, which is their rest, provided
by nature, after ten months continuous
service.
Now, let the owners of the idle
flocks check off from the above the
things that tally with their work and
care and see what there may have
been left or omitted. Bear in mind
that the omission of single point will
be sufficient explanation as to why
your flock does not lay. Yet there are
many other reasons for such a cOndi-
ton, vermin being among the great
est number of causes, which is due to
improper care causing a low vitality;
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-01-01
also filthy quarters, producing debil-
ity and disease, and also the absence

also filthy quarters, producing debil-
ity and disease, and also the absence
of good dust bath.
Another prominent cause for hens
not laying when not in moult, is a
lack of exercise. They may have the
range of many acres and yet not get
sufficient exercise. Give us room
10x12 feet with dry earth floor, and
from four to six inches of litter on
that, and you can have the range for
exercise By scattering wheat, oats
and sifted cracked corn in equal por-
tions over such litter, the hens will
get the required exercise and will lay
when all other conditions are right.
But do not expect results at once The
hens must first be gotten in condition
for LAYING. This should not be done
by starvation methods. But 1t is well,
for a time, to exclude from their diet
the fat forming foods. such as corn,
and confine them to wheat and a few
oats. clover, roots, shells, gravel, milk
and pure water They should be re-
ouired to scratch for every morsel OF
their food, and their drink kept in
clean vessels. Provide a good dust
bath and guard against vermin. Feed
sparingly till they become active, the
faces and combs redden, and they be-
gin to sing, then feed more literally
until they begin to lay, then all they
will eat, with the precaution that they
scratch for the most of their feed.
In bringing about the laying condition
we have found it to be an excellent
plan to place small pile of old bones
on a fire, and when they become brit
tie hammer them into small grains
which, mingled with the ashes, are
relished by the hens greatly.

the chicken business over again Inere
are more failures than successes. Peo-
ple are importing Homers from the
east. and expecting them to get down
to work within a week. This they
don't do. Even old birds that are
moved from one loft on the Sound to
another place nearby are slow to get
down to work. They have been taken
from their old home and given new
and strange quarters. They don't like
it and they give evidence OF II by
either not getting down to work at
once or even remating. Breeders VINO
say that Homers take mates for life
are not always correct. AS rule
they do, but often birds for no appar-
ent good reason will remate and &C.
casionally, if there is an odd cock In
a loft, he will coax away a hen and
leave her mate to rustic for new
housewife.
William Rice, who wrote the gov
eminent bulletin on SQUAD raising,
takes a position that Homers at liberty
do not look after their young as well
as those in confinement His conten-
ton is not borne out by the experience
of others. The Pennsylvania man to
whom | referred above has had his
birds at liberty for years and says
there is nothing in Rice's contention.
He gives his birds liberty, notwith-
standing that he loses some by reason
of being in a country where hawks are
numerous 1t is true, he says, that
the hawks get a few of his birds, but
the loss is small and if his birds were
penned up he believes he would lose
more through sickness. My own ex-
perience is that birds at liberty give
their young the best attention. My
SQUADS never go below eight pounds
and the average is much higher. My
birds have their liberty the year
around and on the coolest nights my
loft windows are always open.
