BODYBUILDING PROBLEMS.

The New York state engineer re-
ports the expenditure of about $S,000,-
900 in the building of country roads
in the course of year. A critic de-
clares that the larger part Of this vast
outlay was money thrown away. The
trouble was not with the engineer He
did what was expected of him, and
did it we'll. More than 500 miles of
macadam roads were built as econom-
ically as possible. But when built
they proved to be unsatisfactory The
reason for such state of things is
the automobile. Reviewing the situa-
ton, the engineer declares that the
accepted methods of road building are
failures. They do not meet the de-
mands of the present, and there is no
indication that they will serve for the
future. He sees two alternatives.
Either the use of automobiles must be
restricted or new methods Of construc-
ton, no matter how expensive they
may be, must be adopted. The various
plans for saving the surfacing through
the use of tar and oil are counted as
of slight value. They do not prevent
destruction. 1t is plain that there
will be no regulation Of automobiles
that will be effective. That form of
locomotion has come to stay. Every
day sees its applications more extern
sive.
The roadway. designed for travel on
horse or in carriage or wagon, is not
adapted to the demands made upon It
by the swiftly moving machines OF
modern invention. There will be no
step backward in respect to the ma
chineE There must be forward steps
in road construction. It is a problem
In whose solution some engineer will
win lasting fame. The road building
movement in this country is In It's In
fancy. Associations in many states
are urging the Importance of good
highways. 1t is a popular movement.
But 1t is evident that large amounts
of money are likely to be wasted In
construction unless new methods are
devised to withstand the wear and
tear of swift machines. The problem
is not limited to the country high
ways. 1t causes much worry in park
board meetings. 1t troubles city street
superintendent. It Is common to this
country and other lands.

him it begins to Lose vigor. II It
were not for the fact that all focks
tend to go down In vigor. high scor-
ing birds would be the rule and not
he exception.

The selection of the right birds for
/ breeding is a study in itself and
would take columns of writing to
fully explain il for single breed
but the average man can soon learn
10 pick out his matings fairly We'll.
AS or vigor, it must be given special
attention in selecting, and the stock
must have wide range especially
dlring the growing age. It is not
iced that the most successful breed
ers. those who succeed in raising
large numbers of prize birds. and
who keep up the excellence of their
stock for a long term o. yea ;, are
those who give wide range, o, who
put out their stock to be raised by
farmers under farm conditions.
Early Matching is a point Always
emphasized for business focks with
common stock, but it is much less
important for the raiser of purebred
stock, 1t costs more to hatch and
raise an early chicken. and the price
OF a pure-bred depends more on its
appearance than upon its early ma
turity, except for a limited demand
for exhibition in the early poultry
shows. So mos breeders try only
to match moderately early; April,
May and part in June, when eggs
hatch best and chickens are easiest
to raise. Birds Matched in May will
mature well enough by the following
spring season to bring good prices.
The greatest demand or breeding
stock is after midwinter February
and March being the months OF
greatest activity in shipping fancy
stock Early Matching. then is not
essential; but late Matching should be
avoided because the chickens will
! fail to reach full weight. and nearly
all buyers insist on birds that are
heavy or the particular breed want
ed Heavy weights command pre-
MUM both for exhibition and for
| breeding flocks.

Late Summer Chicks.

There is one advantage in late
chicks notwithstanding the fact that
they usually do rot get their full
growth before the cold weather.
They are bought and put into cold
storage and sold in the spring in
place of broilers, at a different price,
of course, and this creates demand
for the chicks until late in the sea

in spring win still be large, and
those who wish the best prices must
begin r. gather eggs for setting.
Gays the Mirror and Farmer. These
late chicks do not lessen the price
of the real article in the early months
of spring. as may be supposed, but
they do demand better prices when
stored and sold as late-hatched chicks.
The cold storage fowl can never
compete with the fresh-killed broiler
for the same price, and the honest
poultryman would never substitute
the late-hatched chick for a broiler

do not bring the same price. and

it is maintained, it must be cared
for, and if it is to be properly cared
for it must be given a due share Of
the farmer time. In too many in
stances this is denied to it, for the
reason that direct revenue is not OBJ
tanned from the garden.

Success with pure Breeds.

The requirements for raising pure
bred poultry with success are very
much the same in general as those
for ordinary stock, but the en4pha-
sis is different on different points,
more on good foundation stock. good
breeding and good selling and less
on early Matching and stimulating
feed, says the American Cultivator.
Starting with frst-class stock is very
important. Vigor is the main thing
in starting any kind of poultry.
Health and vigor are as pre-eminent
ly important with poultry as with
human beings in leading TO success.
There is a temptation to sacrifice
health and vigor for fine plumage,
but it is usually possible to find stock
that combines both vigor and appear
ance. and when such stock is found
it is worth buying at any price.
The highest priced stock is often
the best investment to the man VINO
knows how TO use it. If $25 cock
,erel will give you % young cocker
els, that sell for an average of IS
each and 25 pullets averaging 81
each, he has paid for himself FIVE
times over the first season and is
worth perhaps 500 himself to carry
over another season, when he should
repeat the performance and sun be
worth $40 to carry over a third sea
son if in good vigor Even a S. bird
that gives so chickens worth an ay-
erage OF $3.50 each is also a good
Investment. He costs 10 cents extra
for each of his chickens but adds
at least % to so cents each to their
value over common stock.
The need of getting vigorous stock
is even more important with pure
bred birds than with ordinary stock
Better visit the place you buy from
and satisfy Yourself The last place
to get vigorous stock is in the back.

The Sen Davis Apple.

! Probably no variety of fruit has
caused so much argument as the
Ben Davis apple. In the last few
years the violence of this argument
has somewhat subsidized, but it has
not altogether died. There are still
some men who consider it criminal
to grow Ben Davis, while Others are
very sure that it is the most profit
able apple that can be planted, says
the Country Gentleman. Some of
those who are opposed to the variety,
but who will admit that ii is usu-
ally profitable, content themselves
with predicting its early downfall.
Such predictions have been common
for 40 years, yet Ben Davis has gone
on increasing its hold in every di-
rection throughout this time.
Some figures which the Massachu-
sets experiment station has recently
collected, give intimation that pos
sibly the long-looked-for check in the
planting of Ben Davis has almost
arrived. circular letter of inquiry
! was sent out to nurserymen in all
parts of the United States and Can
ada, asking how the sales of Ben
Davis at present compared with those
of other varieties, and whether the
sales of Ben Davis are now increas-
ing or decreasing. A large number
of replies, covering the continent,
give very interesting results. About
3 per cent of Ben Davis trees is
still increasing. About 20 per cent
report no change, while So per cent
report decreased sales of this vari-
ETY.. In some cases the decrease is
very marked.
While it is unsafe to draw any
very sweeping conclusions from cor.
respondents of this sort, these figures
are sufficiently striking to merit some
attention. 1t seems all the more
probable that there is some truth in
this inference, from the fact that
! many other varieties are specifically
mentioned as taking the place OF
Ben Davis. In reply to a question on

ties were named. Jonathan led the
whole field by large majority. and
this very fact would indicate that the
conclusion regarding Ben Davis is
well founded, since Jonathan is pop
ular in the territory where Ben Davis
has always been pre-eminent.
The second most important variety
being used as a substitute for Ben
Davis is Gano. This substitution Is
entirely Ineligible, but will strike
many readers as being a very small
change for the better. It indicates
however, that the tendency away from
Ben Davis is still localized in tina
section where the variety has reigneC
