that il is one of the best features of
state aid for highways. In Massa-'
chusetts the city of Boston pays pos
sibly 40 per cent of the total state
highway fund, but not mile of state
aid highway has been built within its
limits. New York City also pays
about go per cent of the cost Of the
state highway bonds. Some state
laws prohibit the expenditure of pro-
ceeds of state highway bonds within
corporate limits of cities or towns.
The improvement of market roads
results in improved marketing condi-
tons, which benefit the city. Most
cities are essentially dependent upon
the surrounding country for their
prosperity and development. The de-
velopment of suburban property for
residence purposes is also dependent
mon highway conditions, and it is
becoming evident yearly that what
ever makes for an increase in rural
population must be encouraged. Since
the introduction of motor traffic coun-
try highways are used to an increas-
ing extent by city residents. In fact,
the cost of maintaining many coun-s
try highways has been greatly in
creased by the presence of city-owned
motor vehicles. The general advance
in facilities for doing country bust
ness from town headquarters when
roads are improved is no inconsider-
able factor in the commercial life of
the community.

There is nothing mysterious or spec
tacular about breeding for utility. One
is not likely to astonish the world
with the story of his results. 1t is
rather of workaday proposition, not
game Of chance, but regular bust
ness. But il is possible for many
farmers by such methods of breeding,
proper housing and methods of feed
ing to make net profits of from four
to six hundred dollars a year from
flocks Of from two hundred to four
hundred hens, and there are few
men who are doing it.

Culling Pullets

There seems to be general rule
among farmers of the country to
dispose of no pullets. The pullet that
does not give promise Of laying before
cold wtather will rarely lay until
spring, and it certainly is an aconom-
zeal practice to dispose Of all runty,
understood pullets, rather than carry
them through the cold weather with
out profit.
If one. would build up a profitable
flock it is essential that the pullets be
culled as closely as the cockerels. The
bullets that grow rapidly and begin
to lay early, should be marked and
held as future breeders.
