Roads and Mail Routes.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
eral De Graw says that good roads
and rural free delivery go hand in
hand The Post Office Department,
in fact, not only encourages com
munities to improve their roads by
the establishment of free rural mail
routes, but in frequent cases where
the patrons of a route refuse TO keep
their road in a passable condition.
after specific warning, withdraws
the route or changes it TO some other
adjacent section where the roads are
in betto- condition. The department
is in receipt of letters of a great
variety Of character from different
rural carriers, in some instances
showing that the farmers are willing
and anxious to do everything possible
to help the carrier in times OF flood
or snow drifts, while other carriers
write that the people of their COM
munities are entirely Indifferent and
averse to lending any assistance, say
ing that ii is the Governments bust
ness and not theirs. On the whole
the rural free delivery Is strong
factor for better roads.

Culverts Too Short.

A common fault in small country
bridges and culverts is that they are
too short. AS a rule it will be found
as cheap to carry the tile entirely
across the road, using shorter head
walls and widening out the fill, than
to use shorter length of tile with
necessarily higher and longer head
walls to retain the earth fills. Short
span bridges on country roads should
always have width of at least 20
feet to accommodate traffic. IL is an
improvement in the appearance of
such short bridges to extend the wing
wall almost straight, carrying them
to the top of the roadway and putting
on a suitable hand rail The public
sees little but the hand rail Of short
bridges, and if it is strong and of a
good appearance, are impressed
thereby. A bridge need not be or.
namented, but is often a chief feature
of the landscape and should not dis
figure it. Though not ornamented, it
can, by good design and workman
ship, be ornamental to the situation.

in small fountain, so they can drink

feed upon rolled oats, finely cracked

course of two week whole wheat can
be given. This is the dry method of
feeding, which is coming into vogue
quite extensively. Here is another
method of feeding: Mix dry two
parts of corn meal, one part of finely
ground wheat bran and one part of
beef scraps After they are thorough

POULTRY.
A Cheap Hen House.

An economical plan for building q
poultry house is given by T. M. Polk,
Jr., as follows: Build foundation two
feet from ground and lay on 1t
double floor of rough boards. Around
the ends and north side OF this floor,
one foot back from edge, nail down
2x4s. To the overhead joists nail an
other line of 2x4s. To these, at top
and bottom, are to be nailed the
boxing (boards) for inside wall. If the
poultry netting is close enough for a
board. Brace the corners securely be-
fore attempting TO stretch the poultry
wire The outer walls are made sim
liar to one described except that box
ing is nailed to stills and plates. The
space thus formed is to be packed
with straw or other material OF like
nature. The loft Is laid of loose
boards, or even small poles and then
filed with straw The front is built
on the curtain front plan. The inside
may be arranged to suit the individ-
ual, though | strongly favor partitions
separating roosting room from
scratching department. The roosts
are built so as to touch no part OF
the building. The plan here given
may also be modified to suit those
who prefer dirt floor Roof 1t both
ways and the house will be warm
and windproof.

STATE AID SOUGHT.
Demand for Good Roads Greater than
Ever 6efore-Equitable Plans.

Farmers from Maine 10 California
have Joined the cry for better roads.
The Post Office Department has mott.
fed road officials that the highways
must be put and kept in good condi-
ton or rural mail service will cease.
The demand for good roads is greater
than ii ever was before. The discus
sion shows the farmers OF the Middle
West they are behind the times and
have been carrying heavy and I'M
just burden in paying all the money
required for good roads.
All through the East and in Mary
land and Virginia and as far West as
and including Ohio, the states pay
from one third 10 three-fourths OF the
expense OF building and maintaining
good roads. This is as 1t should be.
The roads are public property-they
belong to all the people, are used for
the benefit of all the people as part
of a worldwide system of transporta-
ton and all the people ought to
help pay the bill In proportion as
they are benefited.
The most equitable plan seems to
be to have the state pay one-half the
expense and the township the other
half, leaving the question Of deciding
whether the roads shall be built en-
tirely with the township This is as
it should be.
Whenever the people of town
ship are willing to tax themselves
for half the expense of building a
road it is absolutely certain the road
ought to be improved. Thus, the
building of roads is governed In each
case by local sentiment The state
money is raised by taxing all the
property in the state. making the
burden light. In Illinois, for instance,
the farmers pay only thirty percent
OF the state taxes. The combined
state and local tax for building gravel
or macadam roads all over Illinois in
ten years, coTering all the main
roads, will not exceed ten cents per
acre per year on farm lands under
