The Roads in This Village

At the village meeting in January
the voters will be asked to consider
the matter of buying stone crusher,
engine and the necessary equipment
for making good road material 1t
is to be hoped that there will be a
large attendance at this annual talk
over community affairs.
The village has for years been
patching up its highways, using
good gravel " hen obtainable, other
material when that WIS not to be
had putting on a little dirt here
and there one season, scraping it off
again the next, and now has next to
nothing to show for the money ex-
pended.
The problem before the hero OF
Brewster's Millions " was to spend
million dollars within year and
to have absolutely nothing to show
for it at the end of that period. The
village of Woodstock, and other YER
mont villages, might have given him
points on its solution.
We might make one exception,
however. Last summer the village
trustees built a small section OF
roadway on Central street, using
crushed stone bought in Massachu-
sets, and it is likely to make good
through the trying spring season,
without calling for repairs.
Good gravel makes good tempo
rary roads, but not highways that
are in any sense permanent. And
gravel is scarce in this neighbor-
hood laid down in the streets here
it costs little less than crushed
stone, while gravel road under
present conditions is only make
shift.
The case will be presented to the
voters here fairly and squarely, and
along with the proposition will be
presented some interesting and in
structive figures and comparisons
as to the cost of good and bad roads.

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

It Is a fact not generally known that
Of all farm products poultry stands
fifth In value. 1t is estimated that
the cash derived from the sale Of poul-
try and eggs amounts to half billion
dollars annually. 1t is believed that
this amount is being rapidly increased
each year, due to the fact that farmers
are beginning to realize the profits
there are in a well cared for flock Of
hens. When all poultry keepers fully
appreciate how easy 1t is to increase
the productiveness of their fowls, 1t
is fair to assume that this branch of
farm products will advance well toward
first place in relative value. The fol
lowing letter from G. D. Chatterton of
West Brookfield, VT, indicates the way
In which some are increasing their
egg production. He says: II have used
Pages Perfected Poultry Food for the
last two years, and got one-third more
eggs than before. can't get along

former firm He made two offers:
First, if the people of Bethel would
furnish him with buildings estimat-
ed to cost from $4,000 to $4,000
he would come here again; second,
if the people would raise the sum of
$4,000 and give the same outright
he would come.
