American Liner Haverford Detained
by Health Officers.

PHILADELPHIA, July 9.-The Ameri-
can Line steamship Haverford. from Liv-
erpool via Queenstown, which was de-
tanned at the government quarantine at
Lewes, Del, yesterday, while those on
board were being examined for conta-
gious diseases, arrived here today and
landed IS1 first cabin passengers. The
400 storage passengers taken off at
Lewes will remain there about twelve
days All the first cabin passengers
were vaccinated on the run up from the
Delaware capes.
The extra precautions taken with the
Haverford are the result of q declaration
by the Philadelphia health authorities
that the steamer on her last trip to
this port brought case Of smallpox.
which was communicated TO others in this
city.

heads of wheat lying on the surface
of the ground. This does not germi-
nate so readily as the shattered grain
and for this reason the field that is
hogged- off will be. the greener in the
fall after the rains begin.
Men who hog off wheat aim only to
use it until the stubble fields are
open, for the ripper the grain gets the
greater is the loss from SCATTERING.
After the grain gets ripe and dry
hogs do much better il they have
access also to green feed such as
alfalfa, rape or thousand headed kale,
So far as our Investigations have
gone they show that wheat may be
hogged off to good advantage for a
month or six weeks during the sum-
mer. We desire more complete data
on this subject, however, and would
be pleased to get into touch with
farmers who are In position to weigh
their hogs and determine the amount
of gain made per acre when the crop
is used in this way. 1t is also de-
sirable that the yield of the crop In

Third-Permanent construction.
"Better roads, improved highways

ed with the tax-levying power, city
councils, city commissioners, county
commissioners, state tax commission
ers, all are studying the paving and
road problems with an earnestness
that promise hopeful results. All
are agreed that more roads and better
roads are needed in Washington.
ROAD MILEAGE.
Washington has 10000 miles OF
roads; $500 miles have been graveled;
100 miles are covered with macadam;
30 miles are paved with some form OF
bituminous macadam; 30, 900 miles,
or about three-quarters, are wholly
unimproved, and less than 10 per
cent may be called good roads.
"It may interest you to know that
tue government bureau of good roads
states that 10 per cent OF the roads
receive 80 per cent of the traffic.
Such roads then should be provided
with maintenance and repair fund
nine times that received by the aver
age road. Such roads might be de-
signated Eroads of the first class
They bear nine times their proper

they cost two or three times as much

ing, in fact it is now at hand in some
parts of tue Inland Empire. During
the harvest season farm work IS
usually very pressing and it is de-
81 sSble to so manage that the stock of
the farm will require as little atten-
tion as possible. In the case of hogs
this can be done to good advantage
by hogging- off wheat. The hogs are
turned into the standing grain when
the kernels are in the stiff dough
stage This will be several days be-
fore the crop is ready to cut with the
binder. Ii provided with water, salt
and shade the hogs then take care OF
themselves until they have cleaned
up the field. A soft variety of wheat
must be used. Turkey Red is too
hard when fully ripe for the hogs to
eat it rapidly.
On farms where hoggingoff wheat
is common practice a small field is
usually prepared especially for the
purpose. Farmers who have never
used wheat in this way can do so by
fencing off a small area Of the main
wheat field Some of the farmers who
are cooperating with the Office of
Farm Management are using wheat
in this way this year. When the
grain is in the stiff dough, nearly
ripe enough to cut with binder, the
hogs are weighed and turned into the
field. When they have cleaned up
the field it is measured and the hogs
reweighed. This will give the gain
per acre or the worth of the crop
when hogged-otf. The rest of the
wheat crop is threshed and marketed.
This gives comparison OF the profit
ableness of hogging- off wheat and
harvesting and marketing it in the
usual way.
At first thought one is inclined to
say that this is wasteful practice.
1t is not, however, under good manage
ment. Where the crop is light there
is very little waste. Where the crop
Is heavy the waste is more marked.
especially it the grain is allowed to
become over ripe. Where the crop is
heavy the hogs should only be turned
into small areas at time, that each
are used in this way may be cleaned
up before the hogs are turned into
the next. This done by the use OF
movable fence, either wire or movable
panels.
Where the grain is hogged-off there
is a saving of approximately the cost
of feeding and harvesting. This is
no small item for it costs from 10 to
40 cents per bushel to harvest and
market wheat in the Inland Empire,
the cost varying with the yield, the
method OF harvesting and threshing
and the distance to market. In much
of the dryer portions of the wheat
belt of Oregon and Washington the
yield of wheat is frequently as low as
six to eight bushels per acre. The
cost of harvesting and marketing such
a crop is from 80 to 40 cents per
bushel. The approximate cost of
heading, threshing and marketing a
20 bushe crop of wheat is 20 cents
per bushel When the hogs are so
managed that they thoroughly clean
up the field, hogging-of the crop

of hauling, weight of loads-all must
be considered in determining the
width of roadway necessary to pass
the traffic in convenience. We must
also consider the character of pave
ment that will be adequate to sustain
the loads imposed upon it.
Hitherto those having charge OF
road building have unfortunately
given too great consideration to first
cost.
"There are three factors that enter
into the cost of road, and that road
is the most economical which is so
constructed that the sum Of the three
factors determined annually is
minimum. The three factors are:
First interest on first cost.
Second-Annual repairs and main
tenance.
Third-A renewal sinking fund.
Having provided all three, the
road may be maintained permanent
ly.
''To illustrate my point let me COM
pare plank road with we'll built
ordinary macadam road. The right
of-way, grading, drainage, culverts
aud bridges will cost the same for
either kind of surface and a plank
road 16 feet wide will cost, exclusive
of grading, about $4,000 mile and
last six years with repairs.
ga stone road Is feet wide will
cost, exclusive of grading, about $1,000
mile and with proper repair and
proper maintenance last indefinitely.
"Then, with interest at five per
cent, the two types of roads will cost
per mile annually:
Stone road
Five per cent interest on $1,000. $3.50
Repairs and maintenance $50
Sinking fund (indetinite) nothing

Plank road
Five per cent interest on S4500. S 225

though the first cost of the stone road
is 55 per cent higher than the first
cost of the plank road, the total an
nual cost of the stone road is about
40 per cent less than the cost of the
less durable road.
"Another illustrations:
'Let us compare an unnamed pave
ment costing $18, 900 mile, exclusive
of grading, whose life.is 80 years, one
which needs no repairs and costs
nothing for maintenance with another
