DAl|NA
ROADWAY.
|HOLLY HILL NAY BOND
FOR IT'S IMPROVEMENT.
TOWN COUNCIL OF HOLLY HILL
DISCUSS WAYS AND MEANS or
IMPROVING THE RIVER ROAD
THROUGH THE TOWN.

The regular meeting of the town
council OF Holly Hin, Wednesday
night, was mainly devoted to a dis
cussion OF ways and means for the
improvement Of THAT part Of the Or
mond-Daytoua road situated within
tihe Holly Hill limits and this in
cludes the most unprotected section
Of the highway, subject to the de-
vastating effects of the fall storms
with which this section is sometimes
visited.
Every fall the roadway is more or
less damaged in the lower PAGES by
the wash of the water from the high
tides usual at THAT season of the year
but the severe storm OF, last October
cut the higher banks away in many
places and ate deep into the road
way. The town was out of funds and
the road could only be made barely
passable for vehicles with the money
available.
The municipal taxes are SOW in
coming in and the bulk of the tax
is not paid until about the limit O.
time, April firs- Even then there
is only the paltry sum of $3.50 with
which to work and sd00 of this is
consumed in running expenses. This
amount is barely enough to cover or
binary repairs upon the ma led roads
in the town Limits, without meeting
such damage as resulted f ON the
storm of last October The roads
hard surfaced have all been built by
subscriptions or donations in con-
nection with the public money. The
towns owns its own mari pit.
5, Under the town charter. shat of
the general Incorporation act, no
special road tax can be levied and
the limit of taxation for general pur-
poses, one per cent?, is already in
force
Besides, it is discouraging to put
the road in passable condition only
to see the work washed away by the
first high tide in the fall, and IL now
looks as though the only solution of
the problem lies in the bonding of
the. town to raise funds for building
retaining wall, Or sea wa |, in these
places most exposed to ithe wash of
the river, and the town officials are
now engaged in ascertaining, ap-
proximately, what sum will be nee
essary to accompl' sh this purpose If
it comes within the bonding limit of
the town, $4,000, the mater will
probably be put to a vote of the
people.
In the meant;m let i,he automobi e
owner or driver who sweaIs at the
miserable condition of the road, bear
in mind that there are no wealthy
residents in Holly HilEnet an au-
tomobile is owned in lhe town and
practically every cent Of taxes is
expended upon the roads for outside
ers, principally automobile people, to
wear out.
1t is hardly worth while to 6alk Of
surrendering the town charter and
thus throw the road upon the county
as the county already has more roads
than it can look AFTER, and previous
TO the incorporation Of Holly Hill it
was impossible to get any financial
and very little other help from the
county Such roads as there are
have been built almost entirely by
local work and effort.

widely in the number of fertile and
hatchable eggs produced. The Maine
Station has been studying for several
years the causes of this variation and
the relation between fertility and
Matching quality. In recent bull
letin of that station, Raymond Pearl
and Frank M. Surface state, as a
result of these studies, that while
fertility and Matching quality or
ability of eggs are two essentially
different things" there is apparently
a small but still sensible correlation
between the two.
This means that in general or on
the average the hen. whose eggs run
high in fertility will also tend to show
a high Matching quality of eggs (per-
centage of fertile eggs hatched) and
vice versa.
Conditions of housing have marked
and definite influence on the mean or

average fertility and Matching quality
of eggs. In the experiments here dis
cussed it was found that both fertility
and Matching quality of eggs we're
very much better when the breeding
was done in "curtain-frOnt' house,
which furnished an abundance of
fresh, pure air, then when it was
done in what was formerly considered
to be highly desirable type Of heated
house, without curtain front but with
a supposedly adequate system of in
direct ventilation.
While there are great individual
differences among different females
in respect to the fertility of their
eggs, even when mated to the same
male, it still remains the fact that
this character, as compared with
Matching quality Of eggs, is to very
large degree Influenced by external
circumstances. The same
relative degree of fertility is not
characteristic of the same bird in
two successive seasons; nor is this
character affected by winter egg gro
duction. 1t is not inner tied.
On the other hand, the Matching
quality of eggs is an innate constitu-
tional character just as much intrinsic
as any other physical character, such
as shape of body or length of limb.
Relatively the same intensity or de-
gree of this character is persistent in

posed of, and other conditions that
will vary in different places. Where
it can be done in connection with the
sale of other produce, such as dairy
products, the most profit can usually
be made by selling direct to the con-
sumner. In such case it will probably
pay to put the eggs either in plain
cartons or in cartons which have the
name of the farm printed on them.
The plain Car tons can be bought for
60 cents a hundred, or perhaps for
less in large quantities; when print
ed, of course, the cost would be
greater, but it would probably not
exceed one cent each.
If it is not feasible to sell the eggs
direct to private customers, it may

the same bird in successive breedin
seasons. 1t is adversely affected by
heavy winter egg production. 1t is
inherited.
Any factor which tends to reduce
or impair the general constitutional
vigor of breeding birds in general
tends also to reduce the Matching quail,
ity of the eggs from these birds. The
relative condition" or vjgor of
breeding birds may be impaired in a
variety of ways. For example, i'm
proper feeding may bring about this
result. \ High winter egg pro-
duction has, on the average an adverse
effect on the Matching quality of the
eggs produced by the same birds in
the subsequent Matching season. This
again can probably be regarded as
the result of reduction of constitu
tional vigor following heavy laying.
Similarly adverse housing con di
tions most probably produce the bad
effect which they have been shown

ity by lowering the general vital con-
dition of the fowls.
To this factor of constitutional vigor
as affecting Matching quality Of eggs
the experiments of the Maine Station
add another, viz, Inheritance:
Matching quality of eggs is in some
measure ''bred in the bOne' char
acter of poultry, and must be reckon
ed with as such. But if hatch
ing quality is inherited it means that
it is character which can be i'm
proved by selective breeding.
This emphasizes the Importance in
practical breeding work Of (a) the
selection of breeding stock with ref
'erence to constitutional vigor or vital
ity, (b) the maintenance of the breed
ing birds in vigorous condition by
proper methods of housing and feed
ing, and (c) paying attention to the
actual breeding ability las shown by
Matching performance) of the stock
and the exercise of selective breeding
to improve this character.

be possible to sell them to a grocer
who has high-class trade and will
be glad to get absolutely reliable eggs
for his customers. In such a case it
would be worth while to put the eggs
up in cartons, with the name of the
farm on them, in order to educate
the customers to call for eggs from
that farm. When farmer has good
many eggs and does not wish to bother
with cartons, he can often do we'll by
selling his eggs to hotel or restaur-
ant.
If none of the ways suggested are
feasible, then the eggs can be sold to
dealers, but an extra price can be
obtained from them also as soon as
they are convinced that the eggs fur
nished them are absolutely reliable.
If there are children on the farm,
they can be taught to care for the
eggs, and will take pride in doing it
we'll, especially if they are given a
share in the profits.
1t should be remembered that it
will take time to work up a demand
for selected eggs, but when people
are once convinced that the eggs can
be depended on. they will not only
call for such eggs, but will tell their
friends about them.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-07-15

From a discussion of this subject
by A. e. Phillips in bulletin of the
Kansas Station the following facts
are drawn:
The demand for eggs seems practi
cally unlimited, more especially for
the better grades. The growth of the
storage industry has tended to equal
ize prices by increasing the demand
in summer when fresh eggs are plenti-
full and supplying the deficiency in
winter when fresh eggs are scarce.
Since the demand is greater for the
best grades, it seems obvious that a
little more attention to details will
result in profit amply repaying the
extra time and labor involved.
1t is not the purpose here to enter
into any discussion of the ways of
increasing the production of eggs,
but simply to point out the possibill-
ties of drotit as result of extra care
in handling and marketing the eggs
now produced; the extra profit is to
be made by obtaining the top retail
price, and, as consumers become &C
quainted with the product, by obtain
ing a premium of from l to cents
per dozen over the regular price paid
for ordinary eggs.
In order to obtain top prices for
eggs, they must be uniform in size,
uniform in color and uniform in
quality. The uniformity in color is
not always important and depends on
the market; uniformity in size eX-
clude small eggs and unusually large
ones as we'll; while uniformity in
quality calls for absolutely clean eggs
that have been gathered promptly
after being laid, kept under the best
possible conditions, and marketed
not more than three or four days
after they are laid. 1t should also be
noted that only eggs with firm strong
shells should be marketed. One thin
shelled egg may not only prove total
loss but may also spoil half dozen
others.
In order that eggs may be clean, 1T
is necessary to provide clean nests for
the hens to lay in. The eggs should
be gathered at least once day and
oftener in warm weather. The eggs
should be kept in clean, dry, cool
place. Any small or dirty eggs should
be used at home; dirty egg if used
at once is as good as any, but it will
not keep as we'll and will spoil the
sale of clean eggs. Never put in an
egg that is not known to be absolute
ly fresh.
The time of marketing will depend
on local conditions, but should be as
often as once a week at any time OF
the year and at least twice or three
times a week in summer. In case
where it is impossible for farmer to
take his eggs himself as often as that,
he can arrange with a neighbor to
take the eggs on alternate marketing
days.
The methods of selling the eggs
will depend on the distance from the
market, the number of eggs to be dis

CREWS OF L|FE-SAVERS
IN PURSUIT OF WHALE
Exciting Adventure Is Reported
Off the Coast of
Long Island.

LONE HILL LIFE SAVING STA
TON. L. l.. April s.-The life savers
private telephone line stretching along
the sandy beach of Long Island this
evening brought here the story of a
exciting fight with it. The Southamp-
ton life savers reported that early this
morning they sighted a leviathan a
few miles off shore and put out in a
small boat in pursuit. The whale,
however, was too speedy, and they lost
it.
Sighted at Amagansett.
Word Of the chase had been sent to
Amagansett, where the whale was
sighted shortly after noon. A start was
made in pursuit. and Capt. Edwards
finally shot the harpoon into the whale
amidship.
The whale dived, raced, came up and
soon was pulling the Amagansett crew
at lightning pace through the sea. AZ
ter all the line had gone the crew
commenced to pull in, intending to
get alongside the whale and deal the
death blow.
Whale Smashes the Boat.
But as the boat pulled up near the
whale the latter gave a terrific lash
ing and it's tail smashed into the boat.
The harpoon line was cut and while
the whale made for deep sea the boat
turned for the shore. In the surf the
boat broke in two and the men had
to swim for shore, which they made
after hard struggle.
