MORTALITY IN BABY CHICKS
Often Attributed to Parent Stock
When Fault 10 Really Not Inner
ent-Test for Cause.

The large mortality in baby chicks
Is very often attributed to the par.
ent stock when the fault is really not
inherent. In an effort to ascertain
the real cause for this condition make
test.
Remove carefully all traces Of food
from the breeders, leaving none what
ever near thehm. Take some Of the
chicks that have the care>of the moth
er hen and place them in the brooder
over night. Continue this for several
nights in succession, being sure to
return them to the care of their
mother each morning. Each morning
note the condition of these little fell
lows, and If they are not injured or
are none the worse for their expe-
rience in the brooder you will know
that the temperature in the brooder
Is about right and the fault does not
lie in that direction.
With the brooder eliminated as
possible cause for the mortality, you
most begin to look elsewhere. This
narrows itself down to one of two
~~~~cOo -AAPAOPCI ACcUluS Ut ldCk OF
exercise. Now test for the food cause.
Change your conditions of feeding
radically and note the result. II the
cause is not from the feeding, it must
be from lack Of exercise. Correct
this by supplying them with a proper
amount of this requisite.
Simply finding your chicks dead in
the brooder in the morning when they
are all crowded in a corner is not
sufficient proof that they died from
too low a temperature. Sick, weakly
and indisposed chicks will always hud.
die together whether they are cold or
not.
They will not huddle together, how.
ever. should the temperature be ex-
cessfvely high, in which event they
will spread apart, and when found
dead will usually be lying on their
breasts. This condition, however, is
seldom noted, as 1t takes a very high
temperature to cause them to spread
apart and to cause their death.

FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Ample Room May Be Provided with
Assistance Of Modern Wire Fem
cling and Few Posts.

The old method of free range neet
not necessarily be changed. TIL,
fowls should not. however, be allowed
to run at will within the garden or IL
and about the farm buildings. Moth
Ing is more aggravating or disgust
Ing than to have the nice vegetables
or beautiful flowers scratched up, ant
the doorsteps, the porch, the barr
floor, and the farm machines fouled
with poultry droppings. Separate the
poultry also from the other live stock
of the farm.
II the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings. provide ample range
enclosed by modern poultry wire
fencing. The latter requires ordi.
narily but few posts, is easily put
up and has a very neat appearance
when in position.
Another way of separating the fowls
from the center Of farm operations is
to place the hen houses at a consider
able distance from the farmstead, In
a pasture where the fowls will have
absolute range. The latter plan may
entail some extra travel by the poul-
trynlan and there is the risk In some
localities Of depredations by foxes,
hawks or other wild animals or by
thieves. The young. strong farmer
boy may find advantage in the second
or so-called colony plan," while the
housewife will probably prefer the
fenced enclosure near the farm house.
Thirdly the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes Of his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by a little extra effort he
could gain a select private trade
which would pay far better. His pure
bred stock Of one breed Of fowls In
their we'll kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be a great adver-
tisement for his egg products and uni
form clean appearance of the eggs in
their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making sales.
Then, too. in disposing of his fowls
the farmer often sells the birds alive
when by carefully dressing them on
the farm and selling to his customers
on orders he could secure far better
prices.

GOOD.
ROADS.
PAVED STREETS IN 1000 B. c.
Babylon, Carthage and Other Ancient
Cities Took Much. Interest in
Building Good Roads.

When or where the first road was
built is not known. Herodotus speaks
OF great Egyptian road on which
King Cheops employed 100000 men
for ten years. According to the his
torian. this road was built of mass
i've stone blocks ten feet deep, and.
lined on both sides with temples. MAUI
soleums, pOrticOs and statues. The
streets of Babylon are said to have
been paved as early as 1000 B. c..
and several well surfaced roads radi-
ated to neighboring cities Carthage.
before its fall. was the center Of a
highly developed road system. The
ancient Peruvians had wonderful
system OF national roads connecting
all the principal parts of their em-
pire.
Bridges were also built by the an
clients at very early date. The Eu-'
pirates. at Bebylon, was crossed by a
stone bridge prior to 1000 B. c.. and
1t Is known that the Chinese built
bridges as public works as early as
1900 B. c. says the Good Roads Year
Book.
The first definite and fully anthem
tic information concerning the system
attic construction and maintenance
OF permanent roads comes to US
from the Romans. 1t is generally
understood that the Romans learned
the art Of road building from the
Carthagenians. However, the con-
struction Of their great road was as
perfect as that Of any of their later
ones.
The first Of the great Roman roads
was from Rome to Capua. distance
of 142 Italian miles. and was begun by.
Appius Claudius. about 312 B. c.
It was known az the Appian Way
or Queen Of Roads" This road was
later extended to Brundisium. total
of 800 miles. and was probably COM
pleted by Julius Caesar. About 220,
B. G. the Flaminian Way was built.
1t crossed the Mar river on stone
bridge which had a central span Of
$50 feet with rise Of 100 feet. When
Rome reached the height of her glory,
under the reign Of Augustus. no less
than 20 great military roads radiated
from the city. These roads extended
to every part of the vast empire. and
are estimated to have total length
of $4,000 miles.
The Roman construction was In
general extremely massive. The Ap-
plan Way Is said to have been in good
repair 800 years after 1t was built.
On a carefully prepared subgrade
were placed four successive courses
Of layers. the rodus or second course,
the nucleus or third course and the
or wearing surface. The
top and bottom courses consisted In
OF large nat stones, while the
two intervening course were built OF
smaller stones or other suitable ma.
terial laid In lime mortar.
With the fall of the Roman empire
tAe roads were neglected and gradual
" fell into decay, so that today but
little more than Q trace remains OF
these splendid achievements.

Auto and Good Roads,

The auto has come to stay and there
10 no use lighting against 1t or trying
to penalize the owners for destroying
country roads. There is no doubt that
an auto will wear out a dirt road
quicker than q team carrying 5000
pounds. and while the latter are Pc
nalised in some states. all efforts to
give the same medicine to the owners
of autos have failed. The only remedy
10 to build roads that will stand the
wear and tear of heavy wagons, autos
and anything else and then take the
penalty on everything.

Duty Of People.

The making Of good roads is one of
the most important duties Of the
American people and their prompt

sential. There is probably no sub
ject in which the progressive farmer
Is more deeply interested than that OF
having roads connecting him with his
market over which he may be able to
haul greatest possible load. Good
roads. like all other good things, are
expensive to build and Of too much
value to be neglected.

LIMIT FOR TIRES AND LOADS
Board, Favors Highway Conven-
ton OF state Commissioners.

A meeting Of leading state highway
commissioners and the manufacturers
Of horse-drawn wagons and motor
driven trucks. 10 the suggestion of
Chairman George c. Diehl of the A.
A. A. National Good Roads board. to
consider legislation governing the
width of tires and the weight OF
loads.
Many states have enacted laws to
regulate the width of tires, but there
has not been strict enforcement Of
these regulations" says Chairman
Diehl. Marrow tires, especially dur
ing the wet season. form ruts in i'm.
proved roads, and In many instances
where the roads are weak. break
through the surface. causing rapid de-
struction of the highway.
"One great difficulty in enforcing
wide-tire ordinances with horse-drawn
vehicles has been that while less trac,
ton is required with wide tires, on
slippery clay or billy roads. 1t is very
difficult in wet weather to manage q
horse-drawn vehicle with wide tires,
owing to its tendency to skid and
slide into the oltches

Data Showing Land Values In

The direct effect that changing bad

the United States department of agri.
culture. The department has just is
sued q statement on the subject,
based upon a mass Of information

which Is making a special study of the
economic effect Of road Improvement
In the country. According to data

such an extent that the cost Of road

ceeded. The geenral land values. as
we'll as farm values. show marked ad-
vances. following the improvement Of
roads.
Among the illustrations cited by the
department are the following:
In Lee county. Virginia, a farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur
and Jonesville. which he offered to
sell for $1,000. In 1908 this road was
improved, and although the farmer
fought the improvement. he has since
refused $4,000 for his farm. Along
this same road a tract Of 1873 acres
was supposed to have been sold for
$4,000. The purchaser refused the
contract. however. and the owner
threatened to sue him. After the
road improvement, and without any
Improvement upon the land. the same
farm was sold to the original pur-
chaser for $4,000.
In Jackson county. Alabama, the
people voted a bond issue of $25O.OOO
for road improvement and improved
"a per cent. Of the roads. The cen.
sus Of 1900 gives the value of all farm
lands in Jackson county at IS 80 per
acre. The selling value at that time
was from Sc to SIS per acre. The Gen.
sus Of 1910 places the value OF all
farm lands in Jackson county at 1919
per acre, and the selling price Is now
SIS to $25 per acre. Actual figures of
Increased value following road i'm.
provement are shown.
As the roads In no way affect soil
or quality of the farm, ad-
are due essentially to the de-
crease in the cost of hauling produce
to market or shipping points. Farms
are now regarded AZ plants for the
business of farming. and any reduc.
ton in their profits through unneces-
sarily heavy costs for hauling on bad
roads naturally reduces their capitaliz-
