Remarkable System Of Concrete Roads.
Wayne county. in Michigan, has the
most remarkable system Of concrete
roads In the United States. Their con-
struction began about seven years ago.
The value Of farm lands has in many
Instances more than doubled. Farmers
who formerly required four horses to
transport their produce to town now
use one horse. Where trips to market
formerly occupied an entire day, or
perhaps two, the journey is now made
In a few hours. These roads radiate
like the spokes OF wheel with Detroit
rs their center. The great department
stores Of the city deliver merchandise
sver a wide area. going now into what
were formerly remote rural districts.
In brief. many of these farms, in 80
far as easy access to the city Is con-
rerned, have become suburban proper
Ties The average maintenance on con-
crete roads sixteen feet wide has been
less than $50 per mile per year, and in
the case Of a concrete road built in
Bellefontaine. o.. more than twenty
years ago, road subject to constant
nse since that time. the average repair
Iharges have been less than SIS per
mile per year.

HARDENING CHICKS.
Heat In Brooder Should Be Gradually
Reduced a. Birds Grow.

Unless chicks are hardened to out
side conditions there is apt TO be seri-
GUS loss when they are moved from
the brooder to the poultry or colony
house, says a writer In the New Eng
land Homestead. The actual process
OF hardening Off, is begun at the
end of the first week or ten days after
Matching. From the first | see that
enough fresh air is admitted to the
brooder to prevent hot. close atmo-
sphere. At the end Of week OF lit
tie more | begin gradually to lower
the temperature under the hover until
at the end of the third or fourth week
The amount Of heat and the length Of
time 1t is required depend ON the
weather and the time of year. but ordi-
narily | am able to dispense with 1t
entirely when the chicks are month
old. often considerably before.
| admit more and more fresh air and
induce the chicks to stay out more dur
ing the day. They are fed outside and
given free range. Usually they will
range long distance from the brood
er, scratching and digging like old
chickens. coming In only to eat now
and then unless the day Is damp or
unusually chilly. This gives me hardy
thrifty chicks that naturally outgrow
the need of the brooder and adapt
themselves to less sheltered conditions
have found 1t az bad to leave the
chicks too long In the brooder as to re-
move them too soon. Usually my chicks
are ready at about four weeks old. al
though early In the season ! generally
have to leave them week or two
longer. Sometimes find 1t best to
move from the first brooder to larger
and less close one for week or two
before making the final change.

CHILD MURDER CHARGED.
Helen Godlesd of Rutland Is Held for
County Court.

Rutland, MAY 22.-Charged with child
murder, Helen Godleski, Polish woman
boarding with Florence Bailey on Grant
avenue. was arrested Saturday afternoon
at 3 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff d. A.
barker, assisted by James Pitaniello and
States Attorney c. V. Poulin.
According to evidence in the hands of
the states attorney, the Godleski woman
gave birth TO a prematurely born child
May 8. which, however, was living and
sufficiently developed to bring the crime
of killing the infant within the realm of
the law. This, the state win charge, was
killed by the mother in a cruel and re,
voting manner.
The charge is infanticide. equivalent to
murder. aud the GOdleski woman will be
placed on trial for her life when the case
comes before county court. The guilt or
innocence Of the accused will be deter
mined by the trial but the circumstances
which led to her arrest were worked up
by Mr. Pitaniello.
According to the statements Of the lat
ter, the woman Tyas the victim Of a Grim
inal operation. performed by some person
or persons outside the jurisdiction OF the
state, and that upon the birth Of the
child, the mother herself killed the baby
by depositing il in a toilet so that il was
carried down the sewer and drowned.
The accused formerly lived in West
Rutland. but moved into the city recent
~, where she has been boarding.

The landlady looked just long enough
