Is it not strange that in this coun-
try, where We have the largest aggre-
gate of wealth that the world has
ever known and where We have
achieved the greatest success in hui
man history along certain lines of en-
deayor that we have failed to keep
pace with the march of progress, and
that we are century behind the rest
of the world in the matter of handling
public roads?
The conditions of the highways in
American are a great surprise to the
foreign traveller who has been used
to smooth, hard roads throughout his
land. Upon his arrival in New York
he is overwhelmed by the immensely
OF the buildings and the gigantic scale
upon which everything is done. A day
or two in the metropolis prepares him
to believe that Americans can do
anything and accomplish anything.
The resources of the country seem to
be boundless. In this frame of mind

Utilization of Waste,

A distinguished chemist once OBJ

sentiments TO her lord with ink made
from an old copper coffee pot on paper
made from old collars" The utiliza-

the world. furnishes many such fam

wooden factories which used to pol
lutte hundreds of rivers, is now precip-
itated and the coagulum is pressed
into bricks and converted into supe-
rior illuminating gas. These are only
examples of the ingenuity of man.
That the field is far from exhausted is
instanced in the estimate that from
500 to 1000 tons of fine coal are
thrown away every day in the ashes of
New York. 1t is not impossible that
some one will shortly invent a pro

against the plan were soon among Its
foremost advocates.
New Jersey began state aid with an
appropriation of $4,000 per year, this
sum was soon increased to five times
the amount. The state aid plan of
road building spread from state to
state, until now fully half of the states
have adopted it, and it has everywhere
proved popular and successful. 1t is
the plan that gets the roads and so
distributes the burden that the taxa
ton is not appreciably higher than it
was before. State aid would have
been impractical in the early days of
the republic, but now under the coun-
try-wide plan of distribution of food
products and the factory output and
the enormous amount of city and cor
porate property, all of which is
moves heavy burden from the farm
ers, by requiring all classes of property
to stand its just proportion of the cost.
New York presents a striking exam

construction. This state began state

ment authorizing the issue of $50, 000,-
900 of bonds for state aid in road
building. Thus the wave of progress
goes on with increasing momentum,
and it will eventually sweep the whole
country.
When one looks back over the cam

he finds that when the subject was

Teaching School Girls to Swim.

In the apparatus in use in Ger

swim the pupil is supported in such
a position as to leave the legs and
arms free to perform the motions
of a swimmer. The body is hung in
a wide belt. suspended from a over
head rail, while the feet are attached
to pair OF ropes running over pull
leys and adjustable to various re-
quirements.
The pupils thus suspended are then
taught how to perform the movements
of the breast stroke until the action
becomes inmost instructive. There
is decided advantage in teaching
these NOV sments in sue way in.

is not distracted by the fear of a
ducking. It is not at all easy to learn
the swimming movements even out

Quiring this knowledge until 1t be-
comes almost instructive before en-
tering the water.-Scientific Ameri-

from the railway window he can see
roads that are practically bottomless
and teams struggling through the
mire that is nearly knee deep. He is
perfectly amazed that such conditions
should obtain. He cannot understand
why II should be so in country that
has such marvellous resources. The
fact is that America is the only coun-
try in the world that is rich enough to
stand the drain. handicap and the
losses that bad roads impose.
Again, may we ask, why is 1t that
in this land, where so many great
successes have been scored in so
many fields that We have utterly
failed in dealing with the highways?
In the writer's opinion the reason will
be found in certain fundamental mis-
conceptions. They date back to CO
lonial times In the early days the
PEOPLE settled along the water courses,
in the valleys Farming was done in
a primitive way Ii was the day of
the homespun. The hand loom and
spinning wheel were found every
where. The people lived very simply;
what they wore, they made: what
they ate. they raised. The community
was self-centered and had very little
to do with the settlement over the
hills in the next valley. The spirit of
home rule was everywhere dominant.
the roads were regarded purely as of
local concern. They were just such
roads as the people cared to build.
and whether good or bad 1t was no
ones business but their own.
Thus the concept that the highways
we're purely a local matter and did
not concern any one outside of the
Immediate vicinity became firmly es-
tablished and held undisputed sway
until about 20 years ago. when New
Jersey man made a discovery that
was far more important than finding
the north pole, and that was that the
roads were public property-they be-
longed to all the people and as such
1t was the states duty to take up the
question of highway Improvement and
not leave the whole burden upon the
township where the amount of taxable
property was limited. II was shown
that the worlds food supply had to
pass over these roads and that bad

FUTURE POULTRY MARKETS.

One of the pleasing things about the
poultry industry is that it is capable of
almost indefinite expansion. Almost
any part of the United States is adapt
ed for chicken raising. and an increa 1e
in the supply of poultry products has
the effect of increasing the demand
High prices of meat, due to higher
prices of land and feed, have brought
about an increased demand for eggs and
chickens. Another factor which has
served to increase the demand for poul-
try products is the tendency among
consumers and middlemen to demand
fresh eggs and young chickens. Every
good. fresh egg that is consumed is an
advertisement for the poultry business.
The man who is served stale eggs two
successive mornings for breakfast. dis
likes eggs afterwards, and ceases to
order them. so that selling inferior eggs
is the worst injury that a chicken raiser
can do to his business. The sdultera-
ton of other food products has reacted
favorably upon the egg industry. the
consumer feeling sure that no one has
yet invented an imitation egg.
Many city-bred men have made re-
markable success in the poultry bust
ness 1t is true that it cannot be learn
ed out of a book nor in few months,
but few years of experience will teach
the novice all that is necessary for him
TO know to make the business success.
The farmer who hasn't much time
to give to the raising of chickens
may have fair success with mongrel
stock. For generations this kind of
stock has been neglected, and they have
learned to thrive on neglect. They
know how to shift for themselves, and
VIII survive under conditions which
would Kill off more classy breeds. If
the farmer has little money to put into
his chickens it may pay to start with
mongrel hens, and then grade them up
by the purchase of few well-bred
cockerels
The farmer who desires to breed for
egg production, which seems to be the
favorite mode in these days, should sell
ect standard Mediterranean bred roos.
ters. Leghorns. Minorcas and Spanish.
The Rhode Island Red is IA good gener al
purpose breed. Plymouth Rocks and
Wyandottes are also good general pur-
pose fowls.
Poultry raising may be advantageous
ly connected with several other lines of
agricultural operations. Chickens may
utilize the skim milk from the dairy
cows where there are no pigs The
fruit raiser will find the chicken his best
friend. for not only will the fowls use
spoiled fruit, but they will save large
part of the crop by destroying insect
pests. The market gardener can feed
his chickens economically by using the
unsold beets, carrots, potatoes and
waste lettuce and cabbages.

could stand the tax and that good
roads spelled ruin. In every case, how
ever. where the plan was proceeded
with by state aid, the people were sur
prised that they had the roads and
that they did not feel the tax.
that, in fact, more and more roads
were demanded. up TO the lawful limit.
Thus 1t has ever been. and probably
will be, for years to come.
Good roads mean more social life,
more pleasure. less drudgery. They
mean better schools, more enlight-
ened and intelligent citizenship, they
mean progress and civilization.
