BUILDING OF PUBLIC ROADS
DID Idea That Highways Should Be
Constructed and Maintained by
Farmer'ls Disappearing.

That the movement for federal par
ucipation in highways construction is
not confined TO motorists, but is also
being agitated by the farmers, is ono
Of the most hopeful indications of its
ultimate success
On this point the recent convention
OF the National Grange. Patrons of
Husbandry. the oldest and most in,
huehtial of the farmers organizations,
took decidedly favorable stand. Hon.
oliver Wilson. Master OF the National
Grange. in his annual address stated:
The public highway is a matter OF
general concern. The old idea that
the country road should be, construct
ed and maintained by the farmer has
disappeared II is now recognized that
good roads are of as much Importance
to the consumer as to the producer. as
anything that lessons the, ,cost of trans

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Sufficient to Justify Construction a.
Rapidly az Possible Under
Economical System.

! No one questions the statement that
good roads have a high money value
to the farmers of the nation. and II
may be said that this alone Is suffi
cient to justify the cost of their con
struotion as rapidly as practicable un
der an efficient. economical equitable
system of highway improvement.
The big point in favor Of this ex
penditure is the economy Of time and
force in transportation between farm
and market. enabling the growers tc
take advantage of fluctuations in buy
ing and selling. as well as enhancing
the value Of real estate. 1t is estt
mated that the average annual loss
from poor roads is rs cents an acre
willie the estimated average increase
resulting from improving all the pub
lie roads is 50.
The losses in FIVE years would ag
gregate s2.432 for every section OF
land, or more than enough to improve
two miles of public highway. The
necessity of good roads is obvious. as
Is would enhance the value of each
section of land about $500. or more
than double the estimated cost of two
miles of improved highway. which
constitutes the quota for $40 acres OF
land

ARRANGE BEDDING FOR HORSE
6aIed Shavinss and Sawdust Are Best,
Everything Considered-Straw is
Too Valuable.

Always place bedding toward the
side and rear of the stall, as horse
lies well backward and on it's side.
Should the horse kick and scratch
the straw too far back. place coarse
cocoanut-fber mat under the straw
about where the hooks of the horse
lie and there will be no further trou-
BILE. Otherwise, the hooks may be
capped and injured.
Wheat straw is good for bedding.
rye next and barley is tabooed, while
oats is too soft. Besides, horse likes
oat straw and may be tempted to eat
unsanitary bedding, the salty taste OF
ammonia proving agreeable to de-
praved appetite.
:. Baled shavings and sawdust are
best. everything considered; their use
stopping indigestion caused by eating
bedding. Straw, baled hay. old swale
and such matter rolls up too much,
which fact, together with the steadily
increasing value of straw, makes II
almost too valuable for bedding in thu
horse barns.

CARE CT SETTING HEN
Nothing win DisIodge Perfectly
Hard, Working Matron.
Box or Barrel Laid on Side, Painted
Inside With Carbolineum or Some
Other Good Lice Paint, Is
Suitable hest.

by PROF JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
A setting hen is a perfectly respect
able hard working matron. suffering
from an acute attack of spring fever.
She will not work. she refuses to lay
or even talk about it. and she deyel-
ops a very grabbed disposition in a
remar kably short length of time Seek
ing out some chosen nest she takes
possession, by force. IL necessary. and
proceeds to occupy 1t for about %
hours and 25 minutes every day. She
leaves 1t secretly and in silence, only
when food is necessary. Having sat
isfied her wants, she suddenly remem-
bers that unguarded nest, and makes
for it with great speed and confusion.
1t matters not whether the nest con-
tains eggs or a doorknob. 1t is dear to
her, and nothing will dislodge her.
There she will hold the fort until
her motherly longing Is satisfied in
brood of little downy peppers. The
writer once hatched three successive
broods of chicks under the same hen,
the hen setting for 75 consecutive
days. and coming of the nest reluc-
tantly and in good health at the end
of that time.
The best way to detect q broody
hen is to look through the nests after
dark and see whether there are any
hens on them. If so. they should elth-
er be brought up or placed on some
worthless eggs in the Matching quar-
ters, as they do harm in the regular
laying pens by partially ncubating
eggs and fighting with all the other
hens.
Almost any concave nest, we'll lined
with hay. will do for setting a hen.
Take box, or barrel laid on its side,
paint 1t inside with carbolineum or
some other good lice paint. and form
the nest out of earth with two inches
Of hay covering it.
Be sure to get the corners filled so
that the eggs cannot roll into them.
Have the edge OF the box not over
three inches higher than the eggs. SO
that the hen will not jump on them.
Dust the hen with insect powder. place
her on the nest on some dummy eggs,
and cover her with another, ventilated
box. Let her off in "a hours, and IL
she goes back again. IT will se safe to
put good eggs under her.
Use an odd number of eggs. depend.
ing upon the size of the hen and the
season. Thirteen in cold weather and
Is in warm. is about right for a
Plymouth Rock hen.
Keep whole corn and pure water at
hand and let the hen take care of her
self. The chicks usually begin to
hatch on the twenty-first day. Let them
alone until the night Of the twenty
second day. Then move her and the
chicks to a warm, dry coop and do
not feed tie chicks until the twenty
fourth day.
1t is good plan to set two hens
at the same time and give all of the
chicks to one hen after they arc
hatched.

short pieces of by As (E) are bolted
that strike against the rack as it is
being driven between the frames, thus
bringing up the lifting frames and
raising the rack off the wagon. Two
crosspieces of by is ID are bolted
lengthwise to the posts to give the
frames rigidity. Two blocks I'D arc
bolted at the forward ends of ID to
stop the forward movement of the

This prevents the rack slipping back

Amount Of sIIaae for Horse.

HorseS are very fond OF silage, but
according to Kansas Farmer there Ia
considerable danger to their getting
too much Of IL. Forty pounds a day
is supposed to be about the maximum
amount that can be fed to cattle. but
here are very few cattle that will
average this much. and 1t should be
remembered that the horse has a very
much smaller stomach than the COW.
