Genwood canyon, where the road follows the
Canyon of the Grand Rve~ to Glenwood Springs.
At Rifle the highway turns northward from the
railroad, through Meeker Colo, Vemal, Roose-

Of the lake. via the Lincoln highway through
Reno TO San Francisco. the road by way OF
Tonopah to either Los Angeles or San Francisco.
A look at the map will show that the Pixies
Peak Ocean to Ocean highway crosses the
tral part of the United States in line straight
as the contour Of the country will permit that
IL traverses a section rich in natural resources,
of diversified commercial agricultural and mining
interest; of varying topography; section of the
United States OF historic associations, and that
1t cuts through the heart of the Rocky mountains
and makes accessible magniicence and grandeur
unrivaled in all the world
To demonstrate the feasibility OF this highway,
there was held last summer an official inspection
trip from St Joseph TO Colorado Springs, fol
lowed by reliability run from that point to Salt
Lake City. Regarding that portion of the road
between st, Joseph and Colorado Springs a mem
ber OF the official party said This tour holds
no dreariness weariness, no monotony. This
is pleasant thoroughfare. The meeting that
the forerunner Of this trail held in March,
1912, and so busy have the promoters been that
you can speed along the whole way at rate OF
from twenty-five TO thirty-fve miles an hour

and how to turn Hospitality greets you

You through them just long enough TO get
enjoyment out OF the scene, and then you dip
down into the most delicious valleys and around

always think OF toiling teams and clouds of
dust and dreadful thirst when you turn your
mind toward western Kansas But the real truth
is that travelling through this country-and east
ern Colorado as well-is delightful surprise. You
get Just enough OF everything you've heard about
being there, and never too much. You see
Jack rabbits and prairie dogs. and sod houses
and tumble weed-and silos and cornhelds--

ers for sitting itself, according to a
subscriber to Wallace's Farmer. Two
hens were each given an egg to cover
while waiting for the sitting OF eggs
to come. and when the eggs arrived
two or three days later the two eggs
in the nests were taken out and bro
ken. The egg from hen No l showed
a third less development than the egg
under hen No. 2. AS the first five
days are the most important time in
the sitting period, indications were
that hen No. would hatch out more
chicks than hen No. l. These results
were indicated by the behavior OF the
two hens.
Hen No ] seemed to be lacking
(said the owner) in hen sense. She
felt the fever OF broodiness, but ap.
parently didn't know what was the
matter with her, only she wanted to
sit, and she sat. When she was taken
off the nest for food and water. she
continued to sit, gluing herself to the
floor like lump of putty, picking up
the corn within her range, but max.
ing no effort to get what lay out of
reach.
Hen No. had work to do, and in.
tended to do It. When take from her
nest she expressed dissatisfaction, but
noting that her breakfast was ready,
she ate and drank. spread her feath.
ers, stretched her muscles, and went
back to her nest. No. had to be
put back. People sometimes think
that TO be hen-hatched means well
hatched it doesn't always work out
that way; much depends on the quail
ity of the hen as an incubator.
