flee inspectors before recon-
meDding postmaster are sup
posed 10 be published or posted
at the post Office in question, but
those who have eyes on post of
fees should keep a close watch
for the inspector and not fail to
bring their qualifications and en-
dorsements to his attention. The
movements of the inspectors are
not known by Senators or Con-
gressmed and however much
they might want to help an appli-
cant they can not do so unless
they know when the inspector is
to make his investigation. If a
Republican inspector finds no
Democrat an applicant for the
postmastership. he is very likely
to recommend a Republican.
Democrats generally therefore
should assist in seeing that due
notice of the coming of an in
spector is given by the postmast-
err and the inspector and that fair
play is used in selecting the post
master. The inspector is requir-
ed to make selections regardless
of politics and if he fails TO APP
point Democrat simply because
he is a Democrat the fact should
be reported.
Impotence at apparent delays
in filing many offices with Dem
Gratis would not be manifested
by persons if they realize the en-
ormjty of the work before the
President and the Postmaster
General. A great deal of work
is necessary in connection with
every change of postmaster. The
old postmasters must be checked
up and his accounts settled; the
new postmaster must give his
bond, which must be examined
and approved; the commission
must be issued to the incoming
postmaster and he must be in
stalled. There are about $4,000
post offices in the United States,
and some one is clamoring for
each of them. The administra-
ton has been proceeding with
caution and care for the good of
the service and has done a vast
amount of work, but there is still
more to be done and in due time
all the Offices will be reached.
West Virginia has been more
fortunate than some other states
in the matter of getting Demo
Gratis into the post Offices, and
while Senator Chiffon and the
Democratic Congressman. Nicely
and Brown. would like to see
changes made more rapidly if
possible, they are still satisfied
with the way they have succeed
ed so far, as compared with what
has been done in other States.

Good Reads at Expense Of Good
Land

Washington. ID. c., Nov. 25. -
The average life of horses and
automobiles may be increased and
the cost Of hauling reduced. ac-
cording to the Offices of Roads.
OF the Department of Agricul-
ture. by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific lay
ing out of new ones. The natur-
al tendency in road building is to
build a straight road. whether it
goes over steep grades or hills,
or not. and pulling over these
grades naturally adds to the
wear and tear on horses and We.
hicles.
The doctrine of the office of
Roads is that the longest way
around may often be the shortest
and most economical way home.
and that frequently by building
a highway around a ill ~ grade.
but little appreciate dista .ce is
added and this is more than off
set by the reduced strain of haul
ing.
The chief drawback from the
farm owners point of view is
that the laying out of roads on
this principle of avoiding grades
necessitates. in some cases, run
ming the road through good farm
land or orchards or pastures, in
stead Of going around the farm
line and building the road through
old worn-out fields and over
rocky knobs. This, of course.
must raiae a question in the
mind of the individual land own
err as to whether the cutting up
OF his property by road yields
him individual advantage and so
benefits his community as to off
set the use Of such land for a
road, or to overcome the incon-
venience OF having his land d.
vided. In this connection the
Office OF Roads points out that
the running of q road and the re-
sulting traffic through a good
farm. where there are good sheen
cattle. horses. grain, fruit, or
vegetables. has a certain adver-
Using value and in many ms anc-
es makes the land mere valuable.
in other cases, the Importance of
such a level road to the commu-
nifty is 30 great that it might we'll
repay those using the road to
give the farmer the equivalent in
land equally good in place of
what ne has sacrificed to the COM
mon welfare.
Atany rate. the Office of Roads
IS now taking special pains to
make clear the ecor on;c adyan-
tage OF avoiding steep grades in
their roads. even at some sacri-
flee Of better land, Investiga-
ton shows that the laying of
such roads over hills las resulted
more from attention to the pres
ervation Of farm lines than from
scientific attention to the problem
of Road building.
According to the testimony of
farmers consulted, where a heres
might be able to pull 4, 900 pounds
on a level road, it would have
Cificulty in pulling 5000 pounds
up a steep hill. The size of the
load, therefore, tends to be meas
ured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road to market. In a
number of cases actual expert
ment shows that tie relocating of
roads around hills has been &C
comp. ished. either with no addi-
ton in road length in some in
stances, and with the adding of
only few feet to the highway in
others. The Office knows of no
case where a properly relocated
road which has cut out grades
has led to any question as to its
material reduction Of hauling
costs.

hatch out n brood of chicks.
This pertinacity would not be SO
important If 1t were not for the fact
that she quits laying and stays quit
She has decided upon vacation and
she refuses to work during this period
The loss OF couple of months of a
hens time Is not to be thought Of
at any period, and especially during
the spring, which is the natural time
for setting and heaviest egg produc-
tion as well.
If we do not wish to set the hen on
eggs we will have to adopt strenuous
means to dissuaGe her from her pur-
pose and start her to laying again.
There are q number OF successful
ways OF doing this. and conditions will
indicate the most favorable. The main
thing is to act promptly and be thor
ough.
Remove the broody hens from the
nests each night. as they are most
easily detected then. They stick to
the nest instead OF going to roost
Dust them thoroughly with insect pow
der and confine them In an open slat
crate or cage In cool. light location.
Keep water before them and give
nothing to eat except little whole
wheat and green stun once a day. This
will not hurt the hen and about three
days of this water cure" will con-
vince her of the error of her ways
Another good way Is to have sep
rate pen with absolutely bare floor
and walls. and no possible place to
nest. and place all of the broody hens
in 1t. in the company Of two or three
vigorous male birds. This scheme is
frequently used on large poultry
farms.
The heavier breeds are especially
addicted to broodiness, the Asiatics
being the worst offenders and the

ing In the American class. Leghorns
and Minorcas and Hamburgs set so
rarely that they cannot be depended
on to raise their young. For this rea-
son the Leghorns are the most popu-
lar breed for large egg farms, as they
waste no time setting and the young
are easily raised artificially.
