BEST WIDTH OF GOOD ROADS
Old Turnpikes, Still Our Best Road
Ways, Were Not Wlde-Bullt for
Service and Profit.

One OF the best roads have ever
driven over was just wide enough for
two vehicles to pass without scraping
the paint of each others hubs. am
not sure that sometimes the hubs did
not touch. But it was a road that
was always in good condition and the
men who kept it up seemed to do so
with comparative ease, writes w. e.
Rose of Iowa in Farm Progress.
Some of the old turnpikes, still our
best roadways, were not a rod in
width. When these roads were built
they were built for both service and
profit, and in figuring the future prof
its the builders saw that the wider the
roadway and the wheel track the more
maintenance cost and, therefore, the
less profits.
1t is a pity that the men who laid
out the first 60-foot and 66-foot high.
ways hadn't taken a leaf from the
book of the turnpike builders. II they
had we would not have millions Of
acres Of land lying worse than idle
along our public highway right Of ways.
Say that the road runs 20 miles from
county seat to county seat. Along its
length there will be anywhere from 30
to 100 acres OF land growing up in
weeds, road grass, brush and thickets
where it is not being washed into deep
roadside gullies. Why, in some states
there is a full half million acres Of
land that is being wasted in just
that way and land in these states is
selling anywhere from $50 to 5000
an acre!
Many of the best and most famous
roads of Europe are but 161a feet in
width and they handle some of the
very heaviest highway traffic. Right
now in those counties and townships
in this country ~'here hard roads, per-
Inanent highways, are being construct
ed, few of them are being built more
than Is feet wide and a good many
Of them are even narrower.
The railroads, wasteful as they are
in some things, are beginning to real
ize the waste of useless right of way.

An improved Hoao IN maryland
A road running through Illinois has
its trackage fringed with alfalfa.
Some farmers have resented the waste
and are beginning to cultivate the land
out to the wheel tracks. This may
cause little trouble at times, but aft
or all is it not great deal better
than letting the roadsides grow up in
ironweeds, sumacs, briars and thick
cts?
Any of our road vehicles needs no
more than a six-foot clearance. Fig
ure out for yourself how many farm
wagons could drive abreast on &C.
foot highway and then try to mag
inc any necessity for any such ar
rangement. On a highway one rod
in width there is room for two We
hicles to pass with about four and
one-half feet to spare. Why have
the roads, then, &C feet wide?
Some Of these days our roads will
be narrowed. We have not really felt
the pinch of real land need as yet.
When we do, then there will be a
sudden narrowing of these wide
stretches that are now weed incuba'
tors and seeders. In the meanwhile
why not make some use of the soil
thanking the public highways? Why
not seed it in grass and NOW it as you
would a meadow? OF course the land
belongs to the state, to the public, but
it is worse than useless. Why not
make it give some return to some
one?

PREPARING FLOCK OF
POULTRY FOR WINTER
QUARTERS
(By R. N. Crane. Division Of Exten-
sion, University OF Tennessee.)

(By r. N. Crane, Division Of Exte1-
sion, University OF Tennessee.)
At this season OF the year no one
thing pertaining to poultry husbandry
requires more stress laid upon it than
the quilting Of the flock. All pullets
that are understood, poorly developed,
or that have become stunted from any
cause, should not be retained as lay.
ers. Hens that are slow to mOult and
over two years old will prove unproht-
able as layers. The pullets should be
toe punched, and record made Of the
mark, so that they can be distinguish
ed from the hens after they are fully
developed.
The male birds that are kept as
breeders should be big, sturdy, robust
birds, typical Of the breed they repre-
sent. II they are not purebred, they
should be discarded and sufficient
purebred males of above description
purchased, so as to have one male for
each twelve hens or pullets kept, II
housed in large fiocks. One pure bred
breed will be found to be equally as
good as another.
The surplus stock culled out should
be held till late in January or Febru-
airy, and fed heavily with corn, and
given a bounteous supply Of clean
water at all times. The eggs they
lay before being sold off will Offset the
feed bills, and the market prices aft
er the 'ddle of January are usually
to Z cents pound higher than those
paid from October / till January Is,
when the great bulk of the poultry
crop is marketed.

GOOD ROADS AND MOISTURE
When Soil is Dry Il Crumbles to Dust
and When it Contains Too Much
Water it Becomes Mud.

(By w. c. PALMER, North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
One of the important factors in
roadmaking is to control the moisture
content of the, soil in making up the
roadbed. When the soil is dry 1t
crumbles to dust and when it contains
too much water it becomes mud.
These are the two extremes to avoid.
To make hard roadbed the soil must
contain fair amount Of moisture.
The control of the moisture requires
that the roadbed be higher in the mid
die and smooth so that water cannot
stand on it but will run off. If water

is the splitlog drag. This tool SHOULD

drag moves but small amounts Of sou

It cuts of any projections and ills
up any low places.
Where there is standing water the
roadbed should be kept at least 81
foot above the water surface and
eighteen inches is better. The nature
of the soil and the length of time that
the water stands along the road wiz
to a degree determine how high the
roadbed must be above the water.
In dry-farming territory it is ina.
portant to keep the weeds away from
the roadbed and to keep the roadbed
well crowned and smooth.
