NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD.

: With over 20 distinct breeds Of
fowls to select from it always seemed
curious to me why some people in.
sisted upon keeping scrub hens.
When poultry is being cross bred
for special purposes, such as roasters,
broilers, ETC., believe that better re-
suits will come when we use a male
of the smaller breed and hens of the
larger breed of fowls.
Incubator chicks should be fed with
more caution than those Matched with
hens. Their artificial condition makes
them more delicate and more suscsp-
tible to changes of food and temper
ature.
With poultry there is greater oppor-
tunity for choice among a long list Of
breeds than amung any other kinds
of stock. We can select color accord.
ing to our taste; we can breed for
eggs. or for flesh, for sitters or non-
sitters, for large or small fowls.
Feeding fowls does not consist IN
throwing out to them a certain guam
tity of feed one, two or three times q
day. 1t requires judgment to properly
feed fowls. They will not require the
same quantity every time, nor the
same kind of feed. This Is a matter
that can be studied with profit.

PROFITABLE POULTRY FEED.
Successful Raising Of Chickens D.
pends on Supplying Proper Kind
Of Feed at Right Time.

The successful raising Of poultry,
whether for meat or eggs, depends
upon supplying the right kind Of feed
in the proper proportion. A fowl re.
quires certain quantity Of food CON
tanning protein, carbohydrates and
ash to sustain life. A surplus over
and above this goes to produce eggs
or accumulate flesh. A study OF the
composition of the body and feathers
of fowl shows that almost one-half
of the dry matter Of the body ID pro
tein and about eight per cent. ash.
Investigations by Jeneter at the
New York experiment station show
that the body of q Leghorn hen
body, bones, feathers and visoera- -
contains 55.8 per cent water, 11.e per
cent. protein, 2.8 per cent ash and II
per cent. fat. The analysis Of fresh
egg shows its composition to be: Shell
11.4 per cent, water 65.7 per cent. fat
S.9 per cent. and protein between IL
per cent. and 13 per cent OF the to-
tai dry matter in an egg, including
the shell, there is 35.6 per cent. ash,
25.9 per cent. fat and from 80 to 80
per cent. protein.
A study of the above analysis shows
clearly the importance Of supplying Q
liberal allowance Of both protein and
ash matter in the rations of poultry.

AFFECT FERTILITY OF EGGS.
Too Warm Quarters and ovsrfeedIn0
Laying Stock Have Injurious
Effect,

Of1cials of the department Of agri-
culture have been collecting data re-
garding the factors which Affect the
fertility of eggs. It has been found.
that too warm quarters for laying
stock and overfeeding are commonly
believed to exercise an unfavorable in
fluence on egg fertility. The way eggs
are handled or stored II also believed
to affect the proportions which viii
hatch.
The conditions under which ineubar
ton occurs also have an effect The

bird has been with the hock ase 49,
important questions with respect -
egg fertility. At the outset Il sAou1l
be stated that fertility ana '1hatuAa+
bility" are not necessarily iAsntlea3sl
An egg may be fertile and still the
germ does not have su0cient vitality
to produce healthy chick under the
ordinary conditions Of incubation. In
: a series Of incubator experiments at
the Rhode Island station, OF S.e77 eggs
tested SO per cent. were found to be
fertile, while only 46 per cent. of the
fertile eggs, or 3S.6 per cent Of the
total number Of eggs. hatehed vnAef
the conditions Of the tests.
The various observations made,
while not entirely conclusive, indicate
that, in order to secure fertile eggs
which will hatch. the laying stock
must not be kept in very warm guar
ters; males should be kept with the
hens continually and only those eggs
should be used which are produced
after the male has been with the hens
several days. Only fowls from very
vigorous parent stock and those known
to produce high percentage Of fertile
eggs (hens vary widely in this re-
spect), should be used The hens
should be allowed to rest after each
laying period, while the eggs should
be handled carefully. not be subjected
to extremes Of temperature in storage
and be used only when comparatively
fresh.

Road Construction.

A few suggestions about the proper
construction of a roadbed may not
be amiss.
To begin with the surface should
be made very crowning, for 1t i'm
mediately begins to flatten by use,
and will continue to grow more and
more so all the time If nothing is
done TO prevent 1t. But 1t can be
held II good shape by occasional
scraping. The scraping will also do
great deal towards filling up the
small depressions, which are the real
beginning of all trouble. But some
new material must be carefully put
In by hand where needed-not too
much, as that will create two holes,
where before there was but one. Use
more brains and less stonel A good
road cannot be made without hard
thinking. Keep IN mind all the time
that you are fighting water! You
will notice that the roads always re-
main in the best condition on the
grades where the water can easily
run away, and you will also observe
that they always grow bad first In
the valleys and level PAGES, and that
II Is because the roadbeds are fiat, or
perhaps even following with little
dams Of sod on the sides so that the
water stands there until it soaks In
or dries up, instead of running away
quickly, as It should, and would II

the burrows kept from forming,

Rural Delivery for Better Roads.

together with the general prosper

or business to say nothing OF the
driving required by the great system
of rural delivery which has 30 re-
Gently been inaugurated, have Great
ed a pressing demand from one end
of the country to the other for a
better grade of highways than have
heretofore been dreamed OF. Some
roads Will be built by the national
government and others by the States,
but the counties will always be the
greatest promoters and builders of
good roads.
Some States are already spending
millions on their highways. Massa-
chusetts appropriated 100000 a
few years ago for that purpose and
now has many r.iles of beautiful
roads as smooth as asphalt pave
ment. All Europe ebounds In fine
roads; but they have been at it for
centuries and have learned the art

ONE OF THE GREAT PROBLEMS.
With Good Roads the Farmer Can
Haul to Highest Market.

Here is what George w. Lattimer,
Chairman of the Joint Roads Com
mittee of the Ohio State Board Of
Commerce and the Ohio State
Grange, has to say on the subject of
good roads in his recent report:
The farther one studies and in
vestigates this subject, the more he
is convinced that it Is one Of the
greatest problems of the United
States. 1t touches the welfare and
interest of more individuals than any
other one question that is before the
American public to-day. There ia
not a man, woman or child, in the
country or city, that is not obliged to
use the roads.
owing to the extremely bad
roads of the present time, the far
mer, who is the producer, is obliged
to haul his product to the nearest
market at such times during the
year as the roads are passable. This
occurs within two or three months
In the fall. after the harvest. This
glut and over-supply makes the very
lowest prices of the year for the pro-
ducer, and the consumer, in the cit
les and centers of population is
obliged to pay the very highest prices
during the months OF the bad wealth
er. Good roads will eliminate such
conditions so that the farmer can
haul his products to the market at
any time during the year, whenever
the demand calls for It, and the con-
sumer can buy whenever the goods
are wanted. Thus the producer will
be able to secure a better price for
his product and the consumer pays
lower prices for his necessities.
For years the United States and
State governments have been appro-
priating money for waterways, steam
railroads and other means of COM
munication, all of which are good,
but these questions become insignifl-
cant Of what good roads will bring to
the Inhabitants of this country. Ev-
erybody should be interested in this
question, and should urge Federal,
State and county aid for improve
ments which at this time are all vital
to the welfare of our country
