.acadam Roads
Not Made Properly
Such is the Opinion of Delegates TO
the Paris Good Roads
Congress.

Declaring that u an automobile destroys
a macadam road Il is a sure sign that the
road has not been properly constructed,
Philip Henry Of New York, a delegate 20
the recent Good Roads Congress held in
Paris. addressed the Bridgeport Automo-
bile club last week on the subject Of motor
vehicles and roads.
He said that while the United states
boasted OF as well constructed highways
as Europe, the method of maintenance
could not be compared as in France, as
soon as a road was completed the govern
ment Immediately assigned a force Of men
to cover a certain mileage and carry ON
the work of\improvement. The method Is
very similar to that employed by the rail-
roads In this country.
At the meeting Of the congress in France
the general effects noted were that the
fast automobile scattered the dust
gravel on the surface Of the highway and
eventually wore il down until the bed was
exposed to travel. 1t was also decided that
in order to keep the highways in good con-
dition II would he necessary for the motor
vehicles to abide to a speed Of eleven or
twelve miles an hour, thus lessening the
friction Of the driving wheel on the surface.
Speaking further, Mr.. Henry said: If
automobiles destroy a macadam road it is
a sure sign that it has not been properly
constructed. Where traffic is light the
macadam highway is very efficient, al
though II the number and speed Of the
machines is increased this form Of road is
impractical"
He told Of the various treatments which
had been experimental with in the foreign
countries, none OF which had been found
to be Of epecial advantage. Sea water had
been found TO have its advantages over
fresh water, while sprinkling with a pc
troleum solution seemed to be advan-
tageous.
A conference similar to that held in
will take place in Brussels next
year. and at that time Information based
on actual experience gathered by the dele
gates will be related.
Drawing his own conclusions, Mr.. Henry
said; I'VE are far ahead of the European
countries in dealing with the road prob
lem, although their system Of maintenance
is far ahead of ours. ] have ridden over
the roads which they claimed were de-
stroyed long ago, although they were far
better than ours

Beet Suoar All Riuht,

Owing to an opinion sometimes eX- pressed that beet sugar Is not as sati&- factory for making preserves and jel- lies as cane sugar, the California eX- pertinent station studied the question under commercial and domestic condi- tions. Of 2,OOO cans of cherries, apri- cots, plums, peaches and pears pre- pared with sirups of different strengths and stored for two years in cases un- der rather unfavorable conditions only six cans from the beet sugar lot and seven cans from the cane sugar lot were found to be spoiled, evidently owing to imperfect sealing. This shows, according to a report of the station, "the utter lack of foundation for the idea that fruits do not keep well when preserved with beet sugar and that such sugar does not work we'll in the cannery."

Little Things Worth Knowing.

No shoes should be left on a farm horses feet longer than two months and on a road horse not more than six weeks.
 Barrel salt is too coarse and dis solves too slowly to make good butter salt. Fine table salt is always the most economical to use.
 During the last twelve years the yearly average agricultural balance of international trade in favor of this country increased from $234, 100000 to $411, ,OOOOOO, or 76 per cent.
 In digging a round cistern one eight feet in diameter and seventeen feet deep will hold POP barrels of thirty-one and a half gallons. If ten feet in diameter and eleven feet deep 1t will hold 205 barrels.
 When the staple article of diet is cornmeal mush, fried mush, corn bread, with corn fed meats, and for trimmings corn cakes and corn sirup, l and the chief topic of conversation is corn growing, as 1t is with some peo- pie, it certainly looks as if it were an example of a one sided ration.
 Leguminous hays are very much more nutritious than the hays from other grasses, even sucb as time hon ored timothy. The clover and bean tribe contain nearly twice as much protein as the ordinary grasses. The manure from the legumes contains a propOrtiOnately lar%er share of nitro gen (also more pOtash) than the ma nure from other grasses.

A Little Good Paint in
 Time. Saves $$$

When your buildings need painting, every days delay costs you money. The sun, rain. snow and frost are getting in their work. Lumber costs too much to let it decay for want of little paint. It costs less to use good paint than to go without it. We use nothing but good paint and artists with the brush on all our work. We guarantee first class and durable job, prices reasonable. Don't put it off, let us figure with you on all Painting, Papering, Signs, etc.

Which do you think won?

Not long ago two men, athletes, went into a contest to see which could stand erect and hold his arms stretched out full length at either side of his body for the longer time One man had fed on steaks and chops, sausage, lam, roast beef, etc. the other ate heartily, but con- fined himself to such foods as Quaker Oats, rice. macaroni, etc. Which do you think held out longer?
 The first man lasted twenty-two min utes. The Quaker Oats-macaroni-rice chap concluded to stop after he had been a. it more than three hours.
 There's more strength and economy in eating lots of Quaker Oats than most people imagine.
 Every family should eat plentifully of Quaker Oats at least once every day; breakfast is the best time. It strengthens you for the day.
 The regular size package sells for 10c the big family size package costs 25c; the same package with a piece of fine china in it in addition to the Quaker Oats, costs BOG. Grocers sell all ot these.

AFTER PRUNING.

inclined more severely; otherwise they will overbear and, becoming exhaust ed, go into decline.
 If a tree has become exhausted and stunted from overbearing or other cause 1t may be revived by cutting back into the old wood and allowing the tree to make top of new wood. This has been repeatedly and success fully done.
 The person who trims should be able to tell what to cut, how to cut, why he cuts and the probable effect of the pruning upon the tree. If he cannot give a reason for everything he does he is an unsafe man to trust in trim ming a pear orchard.

 The cutting back and thinning out must continue annually to obtain the highest results. How closely this should be done depends upon the vari- ety and the vigor of the tree. Some trees have a tendency to set more fruit than do others. It is necessary to watch the orchard and trim trees So

 HOW TO SET A BROODY HEN.
What to Do When She RuffIes Up Her
 Feathers.

What to Do When She Ruffles Up Her
 Feathers.
 The season has arrived when the hen is apt to show signs of broodiness. The average beginner in poultry cul- ture is pretty sure to imagine that be- cause the hen stays on the nest for some time after she has laid an egg she is broody, and many a sitting of good eggs has been spoiled by too much haste.
 When a hen Is real broody she will not only show 1t by "clucking" when off the nest, but when on the nest she and sometimes pick at you the moment you approach her. When in that con dition she is to be trusted.
 The average beginner does not know how to set hen and much less how to take care of her. He is apt to tack up boxes about the house or allow her a regular laying nest and in order to keep the rest of the flock from worry ing her will inclose her with a cage or something. About once a day he will take the hen off the nest to allow her to eat and dust herself. It is a wrong move to make. No man Is so wise that he knows just when a hen wants to get off her eggs or when she must re- turn to them.
 The best plan is to use a barrel out doors. Place the barrel on its side and fasten it so it will not move. A good plan is to dig away a few inches of earth and have the barrel fit in the eX- cavation. Then throw in several incheG of earth and on top of this make q nest. Cover the barrel with some heavy waterproof paper to keep out the rain.
 In front of this place an A shape[ run, made of lath. Provide water whole corn and grit and then allow the hen to get off and on her nest at will. Never tamper with her nor disturb her nest. She knows her business, and you cannot help her. At night close up the front of the nest so as to protect her from rats, cats or dogs.
 After the hen Is removed from the house to the outdoor barrel nest she should for a day or two be allowed to sit on China nest egg. This will give her a chance to become reconciled to her new quarters. Always remove broody hens and also give them their eggs at night.
 When the hatch is due close up the front of the barrel so the chicks will be protected and do not remove any of them from the nest or the heat of the hen will be lowered, and poor hatch ! may result.
 More chicks are killed or weakened than raised by this continual pamper- ing with the hatch. Nature has pro- vided hens with the proper knowledge so that they can care best for their offspring A newly matched chick had better not be fed for from thirty-six to forty-eight hours after coming out of the shell.

PRUNING THE PEAR TREE.

What to Cut, How to Cut and Why the
 Cut.
 It may be safely assumed that all modern farmers are interested in fruit Next to the apple, there is no fruit in such general demand as the pear. How to make pear tree most produc- tive Is a subject that must interest every fruit raiser. Success begins with proper pruning.
 In pruning the pear orchard a sym metrical shape should be given the trees, according to the form that the
