Classified Lands for Agricultural Use.
One of the largest tasks of the
forestry service during the past year
has been the classification of lands
within the nationaEforests in respect
to their highest future use. This work
was undertaken during 1913 on a more
comprehensive scale than ever before,
because there was a specific appro-
priation for the purpose. Large areas
are being classified where the amount
OF land chiefly valuable for agricul-
ture warrants its being taken out of
the forests. and it also takes care of
areas On which detailed classification
viii disclose small areas suitable fer
agricultural development within the
forests. The work is being carried
on with the assistance Of the bureau
of soils and the bureau Of plant in
dustry, department of agriculture.
One result of this work was the
elimination of 100000 acres from the
Nebraska national forest. $4,000 acres
from the Rainier, in Washington, and
41S,770 acres from the Deschutes and
Paulina. in Oregon. About 100000
acres in small isolated tracts were
listed for settlement during the year
The areas now being examined for
classification have a total area of
about 10000 acres.

1t takes a healthy, well-fed flock to
produce eggs. Fowls must not be al
lowed to become too fat, as but few
eggs will be laid by hens in such con
dition. To prevent their getting over
fat, it is best to make them work for
most of their feed by scratching in
the litter, of which there should be
about four inches on the floor. This
litter can be of straw, leaves or chaff,
and should always be kept dry.
A good feed for egg production is
n composed of corn, wheat and
oats, equal parts by measure. 1t is
advisable to use homegrown grains
whenever possible. In sections where
corn and oats do not thrive, other
grains can be used to good advantage,
for example, a mixture of equal parts
by measure of kair corn, pats and
barley will produce good results.
Scatter a small handful of this mix
u for every three hens in the litter
morning and noon, and give them all
they will eat Of it in a V-shaped
trough at night. In the winter time
some green feed should be fed at
noon; cabbage or mangel-wurzels,
either chopped or whole, are good.
Every few days look in the litter
carefully and see if the fowls are eat
ing all the grain being given them;
if not, reduce the quantity. Fowls
that have to work for what feed they
get seldom become over-fat. Grit and
oyster shells in a hopper should al
ways be kept before them. The grit
is used to grind their feed, and the
oyster shell furnishes the lime foi
the eggshells. Be sure to keep watei
before them at all times. Birds tina

5O69 EN- PlOYES

Denver, Colo, Feb. 1O.-Great inter.
est was manifest today in the an
nouncement by President Field of The
Mountain States Telephone & Tele-
graph Company, that he is in hearty
accord with the plan for the control of
the company he represents by State
Utilities Commissions elected by the
people. The company. which operates
in the seven mountain states, is one
of the biggest public serving corpora
tions in the country, and this an
nouncement, coming as 1t does, in the
midst of public distrust of all corpora

ton of the company and its affairs.

Good Roads News.

D. Ward King, known all over
the country as the Father of the
road drag" and who has reyolu-
'tionized the method of making
.and maintaining dirt roads in ten
states, is coming to Lakeside.
The county commissioners, work.
ing with the Denver Motor Club,
the State Highway Commission
and the Colorado Good Roads
Association, have secured Mr..
King for big good roads rally
the last of March, when he will
tell the farmers and business men
what he knows about the use of
the drag on o,r roads. AS a
talker King has a reputation as a
stem -winder, and his ideas are
always the subject of discussion
in every community for months
afterward.
After every talk Mr.. King goes
right on the road and gives de.
monstration with team and drag
of the right and wrong ways to
use the split-log drag, where the
crowd can see his theories put in
to practice. He forces himself to
make good. He particularly likes
to meet the "man from Missouri,
who has to be shown. He always
invites questions, and when he
meets farmers and business men
who think they know thing OF
two about roads themselves, the
session is n warm one.
King. Missouri farmer himself
made special study of the care
of dirt roads, which resulted ii
his construction of drag from
the two parts of split log. Will
this he kept his roads in such per
feet condition every month in tn,
year that people came for mile'
to see them. Then other states
went after him and adopted hi
method. The results were mar
velous. Then the railroads begal
taking him over their lines in
private ear to deliver his message
at every station. Ten states have
appropriated money to carry on
his ideas, and Iowa enacted n law
making dragging of the roads by
The King method compulsory. Al
