POULTRY PRODUCERS MEET.
Stories About Eggs Sold by Secretary
Jewett

Eggs, all the way from one day to
nine months old, were shown to the
members of the Somerset Poultry
Producers Association by Secretary
Jewett Thursday night, and with the
aid of a powerful electric light some
mighty interesting stories were told
about them. First there were fresh
eggs laid that morning, then there
were gathered eggs upwards of
product in several stages. There
were we'll fed eggs, and watery eggs,
as we'll as other classes, and in each
case Mr. Jewett gave the approximate
history of them, and was then corro-
borated by the parties who brought
them in Then he went on to explain
the characteristic features of each
kind, and showed that it made very
little difference what the seller might
say, for the egg itself always told the
full story. The arrangements made
for the show in December will make
that affair different from anything
ever held in the country. Instead of
giving the prize money to the few who
own the best birds in each class, it
will be divided pro rata among the
exhibitors whose birds reach a reas-
enable standard of excellence. Thus
the man who gets no ribbons will be
paid for making the exhibit The
dressed poultry class will also be the
first of its kind, and will be modelled
after the great International Fat
Stock Show at Chicago. The birds
will be brought In alive, killed at the
show by an expert, and then prepared
for the table to permit calculation of
the dressing percentage. Such COM
parisons have had a wonderful effect
on the beef growers of the west, and
the plan is already attracting great
interest.

FACTS MAY Be
EXPLAINED
A Statement of the Case In Re-
gard to Care of Cemetery Lots.

Sometimes the peculiarity of facts
is caused by a misunderstanding as
to the facts themselves. If "Taypay-
er" will look again at the tabulated
account of charges for care of Gem
etery lots, we can, perhaps, explain
the seeming peculiarities. The charge
for moving the lot of oliver Walker
was 4x50 cents or $500, the charge,
not for four mowings, but for four
months June, July, August and Sep
tember,) work including nine now
ings. The extra, $1.00, included ferti-
lizer and moving for May. The
charge on Huldah Parlins lot was
for five months moving at $1.00 per
month, not fifty cents as shown, but
it was moved twelve times and there
was a charge of $1.00 for trimming
shrubs and for fertilizer making the
total $500 as shown. On Miss Helen
Robinsons lot the total charge again
was correct. $500, but 1t was for five
months moving at $1.20 per month
and the lot was moved thirteen times
The extras were $100 for cleaning
and fertilizer in May and $500 for
watering in July and August, eight
times in all, making the totals as
above. The other instances admit Of
similar explanations. The tools used
are not furnished by the town and
some lots are harder to NOW than
others, requiring more trimming by
hand.

House To House Visitation

We believe the Sunday School is one
of the greatest moral forces in the nni-
verse. We believe we ought to make a
greater effort to bring more people under
its influence.
There are $500 pro 1estant children in
the county between the age of 6 and 20
who are in no Sunday School.
We believe thorough house-to- house
visitation made in the proper spirit aud
then properly foil owed up would bring
in 1000 OF these $500 aud many who
are older.
Now if this be true, and we do not do
it, will not God hold us responsible?
Mr.. c. c. Bennington, who is Super
intendent of this department, we are
sure will be glad to help ia any way he
can to bring it about We think he is
planning for the work but he needs the
cooperation of all workers.

miliar with the method of construc-
ton of the macadam road, but he
must also know when it is possible to
use a thinner layer of stone. thus re-
ducing the cost of construction. He
also must be so familiar with this type
of road that he will not make mis-
take of using too thin coating of
macadam. According to the character
of the subsoil and the hardness of the
roadbed, the thickness of the macadam
viii vary from four inches to ten
inches. The cost of four inch mac
adam is so much less than a ten inch
that an engineer will wish to use it
as often as possible. and there is often
a tendency to use the thin coating
where the thicker one would give bet
ter results.
The character of rocks suitable for
use in the construction of macadam
road must also be known to the road
engineer for the reason that many
rocks are not at all adapted for this
purpose on account of their softness
and lack of minerals that make good
binding surface The best rocks for
this purpose are trap, diabase and CAB
bro. These rocks are all basic in
character and when used as top
dressing for macadam give the very
best binding qualities. Many other
rocks, as granite. gneiss, quartzite
limestone. etc. have to be used on ac-
count of the inaccessibility of rocks
Of the other type. There is a great
variation in GRANTEES and gneisses in
their chemical composition. those
which contain a great deal of horn
blende giving the best results in the
construction of macadam roads. They
are, however, rather soft and wear
down quickly If the traffic is very
heavy The limestone. although a
soft rock, has exceptionally good bind
ing qualities and makes q good mac
adam road, but one that has to be
watched constantly.
"The sand clay road which is coming
into general use throughout many of
the southern states Is one that the road
engineer must know how to build In
some instances this road can be built
to better advantage than macadam and
will give just as good results. All sand
or all clay will not make good sand
clay roads, and in building this type
of road both the sand and the clay
must be tested as to its adaptability
to use for this purpose"

In an address recently delivered be-
fore the Appalachian Engineering as
sociation at Winston Salem, n. c., Dr.
Joseph Hyde Pratt. president Of the
Appalachian Good Roads association,
spoke as follows on the surfacing of
roads,
"The question of surfacing material
for a road is one that is causing road
builders considerable trouble, for with
the introduction of the automobile, the
wear and tear on our public roads,
especially of the surfaced roads, is
very materially increased. 1t is not
due to the automobile alone. but to a
combination of the cutting action Of
the narrow iron tires of heavy wagons
and the suction of the rubber tires of
the automobiles. The iron tire has a
cutting and grinding action which re-
duces the surface of the road to
powder and loosens up small frag-
ments, which are readily lifted up
and thrown to one side by the suction
power of the rubber tire of the auto
mobile. The iron tire alone or the au-
toBobile alone would not do such great
damage, for the material ground up by
the iron tire acts as a protection for
the surface of the road beneath it and
remains as such protection until blown
off by the wind or washed off by heavy
rains. Wien removed, however, the
iron tire at once comes in contact with
the stone surface of the road and be-
gins to wear it out. The automobile
alone would not do anywhere near as
much damage to the public roads, as
the suction power of the tires would
not seriously affect the well surfaced
road 1t is the combination of the
two. however. that causes the great
damage that is laid to the. automobile
For country roads there are three
types of surfacing material in use
macadam, sand clay and gravel.

to solve. He must not only be ia
