The GOOD ROADS QUESTION
By E. A. CHASE. Supervisor wavsrly Twp.

he says: IF adopted it would give us
about 200 miles of perfect road within
the space of five years without any
expense TO the township" To my
mind that is the most misleading state
ment / ever saw expressed in so few
words. What kind of roads are they
going to build? A gravel road is not
perfect road, but they are the only
practical kind here, and what would
they cost? Many townships have very
little gravel and to build roads in
them the material would have to be
gotten outside and that is very expen-
-sive. In Wayne county it costs them
81, 500 per mile to build a II foot track
of gravel road. We could get along
with foot track and at that rate
we might expect cost of 60, 500 per
mile. If we get the state reward the
net cost would be 5000. Two hundred
miles at $1,000 per mile is 5000, 600.
Now add to this sum all the other
items previously mentioned and you
can get some idea of where we are
drifting
Mr.. Ravens statement would seem
to convey the idea that because the
money was paid into the county treas
ury that it wouldn't be a tax and that
we of the townships would not know
when we paid it. Such statements are
nothing but hot air and are just build
ing roads on paper No one ought to
be deceived by them. Should we adopt
this proposition we will have an ele-
plant on our hands as the scheme is
not practical in this county or any
other where there is so little wealth
on so large a territory. Should we tax
ourselves to the limit prescribed by
law, which is 50 per 1000 on all coun-
ties assessed below % million and 81
per 1000 when assessed between 20
and so million, and 81 per 1000 between
so and 100 million, and so cents per
1000 when assessed over 100 million)
we could realize around $50, 600 on our
present assessed valuation, but should
our next assessment go to 20 million,
which it probably will, the amount
would be around $40, 600. Now take
llOlu iIldl dllOlUl what the commas
sioners would have to be supplied
with and they could not build one
mile of road in each township each
ar
Should the proposition carry our
county tax would nearly double the
first year and these commissioners
could not build any more road nor any
better and not as cheap, neither could
they get a greater amount of state
reward than the present township
system can for the same amount of
money This being fact, by all
means let us vote the proposition
down, then let every township in the
county get in the game and next sum-
mer build one or more miles of state
reward road and thereby get back
some of the money we have been pay
ing into the state treasury for other
peoples benefit.
Respectfully,
K. A. CHASE.

IMPROVEMENT OF FARM EGGS
Government Bulletin Contains Result
of Careful Study of Industry in
State of Kansas.

Every reader should read circular
141 entitled "The improvement of the
Farm Egg" issued by the department
of Agriculture, Washington, d. G.
Among other things this contains the
results of the careful study made of
the industry in the state of Kansas,
where an effort has been made to
bring about an organization of the
egg industry and the cooperation of
the state authorities for the purpose
of compelling the traders in eggs to
buy on a quality basis only. There is
no question in our mind but that the
result of the investigation in Kansas
will be that the ease count" system
will be discarded in the very near flu
ture and there will be substituted in
its place the 'loss-off" method OF buy
ing, says an exchange. When this goes
into force 1t will be squarely up to
the egg producer to handle his product
SO that when it is marketed It will
be In first class condition. We pre-
Dict that there will be a very radical
change in the next few years in this
matter and as a word to the wise is
sufficient, it will Be enough to again
suggest to our readers that they send
to the department of agriculture,
Washington, ID. c., for this circular.

PROPER HOUSING OF POULTRY
Chief Requisites Of Building Are
Dryness, Perfect Ventilation and
Plenty Of Sunlight.
(By N. r. CELEBRITY


Frequently poultry keepers COM
plain bitterly of the failure of their
fowls to show profit, when the whole
fault lies in defective housing.
Poultry lead an entirely artificial
life when they live penned in run.
or even when at liberty and provided
with a sleeping-house-that is to say
they have their food provided them
and do not sleep in the trees, as their
natural instinct wsuld teach them.
1t is simply the difference between
sleeping in a house and sleeping in
trees that upsets them. When they
do the latter, they may not lay well
but they keep their health. More than
half the diseases modern fowls suffer
are caused primarily by this defective
housing.
The chief requisites of a house are
that it should be weather-proof, so
that whatever the inclemency of the
season, the fowls keep dry. 1t must
be provided with ample ventilation
and should have a sunny aspect.
The sun Is life to all animals, and
the more fowls get of it, the better.
Yet, sometimes, fowl houses are
placed in dark, secluded corners, and
built to admit hardly any light. A

Would the adoption of the proposed
county road commission be a good
proposition for Van Buren, county?
AS was one of the supervisors that
helped 10 submit the question TO the
electors of this county / will explain
the situation as / saw it then and as
view il now. For fear that there may
be some effort TO misconstrue the
meaning of the board in submitting
the question, / feel safe in saying
that considerable majority OF the
board were opposed to the proposition
at that time, but were willing to give
the people an opportunity to discuss
and decide the question by their votes.
At the time the matter was first
brought to my attention / was quite
favorably inclined that way, but now
after looking at the proposition from
many angles l am DECIDEDLY and VIC
oRoUsLY opposed. | have not one
word TO say against the Building OF
good roads On the contrary, am very
much in favor Of them, but am ever
lastingly opposed to wasteful and un-
necessary expense
Should we adopt the proposed coun-
~ roads system we would add to our
present burdens three more county
officials. Their salary would be from
81 to IS each per day and for just as
many days each year as they felt dis
posed to charge for and to be paid
from the county contingent fund.
Such officers would have TO be pro-
vided with an office to do business
in; such Office would have TO be sup
piled with furniture and the sup
plies that an up-to-date office requires.
AS the county clerk is clerk of this
board it would entail new duties upon
him and he would have TO have an in
crease in salary or an extra deputy
county clerk would have to be appoint
ed and his work paid for. Then
such commissioners would have to be
provided with some conveyance to go
about the county in, Horses are too
slow now and automobiles would serve
them better They would also have to
have road building outfit. The ex-

sible, be placed on ground sloping
slightly away from it, then in the wet
weather the rain drains away. II the
ground is quite level the rain off the
roof shows a tendency to remain In
the form of puddles.
A trench should be dug to carry 1t
away, or better still, there should be
a spout on the roof to carry the wet
away down to down spout connected
with surface drain.
1t Is important that the ground
around the house, as well as the house
itself, be kept dry, as fowls never do
well on wet land.
Special attention should be paid to
the roof The caves should overlap
some three inches, and it is all the
better if built of stouter wood than
the walls.
There is no necessity to cover the
roof with felt, provided it receives a
good dressing of tar at first and a
further coat each year. On no ac-
count make the roof of corrugated
zinc.
Such q house will be cold in the
winter and hot in the summer. If the
