The following data as to the rela-
ton between the size of the farm and
the size and efficiency Of tractor are
based on. an analysis Of reports on
tractors from nearly 200 farms in
Illinois which employ tractors Of diff
ferent sizes. These reports, which
were collected by the department,
have been carefully studied and the
opinions and actual experience of in
dividual users have been analysed and
condensed into tables and certain con-
illusions in Farmers Bulletin 719, "An
Economic Study of the Farm Tractor
in the Corn Belt" The authors, after
pointing out that every improved
farm machine permits one man to ac-
complish more work, call attention to
the obvious and well-known fact that
farm business must be of sufficient
size to permit of the economic use of
such Machine to justify invest
ment- In consequence, many small
farms either must use the old methods
or must hire modern outfit, as the
amount of work to be done each year
may not warrant owning machine.
Among the more important facts
disclosed by study of the use of the
tractor for farm work, are those re-
lating to the increase in the acreage
which can be farmed by one man,
when a tractor is used in connection
with horses, over that farmed with

Not long ago / received pamphlet
giving excerpts of the Covert Act,
the same being prefaced with these
words: Visitors and even our own
people may wonder why Michigan,
with all its wealth and resources, does
not have better roads. The answer
is that it has lacked legislation under
which Good Road building could be
started and paid for. We have the
law; we already had the desire and
the money. Now we are going to
get the roads,"
This law came from the officers of
the Michigan State Good Roads As
ISOLATION. Trustee John Lentz of
Maybe, Monroe County, to whom /
had sent copy of the Ohio law, sim
liar in many respects to the Covert
Act, came to Hastings to talk over
with me legislation which we now
call the Covert Act.
Together we spent many days and
even weeks at Lansing in perfecting
the bill which was drafted by Mr..
Baldwin of Monroe. Mr.. Frank Rod
gers, the State Highway Commission
er, gave us much assistance and to-
gether with the faithful work of the
committee on roads, and bridges in
the house and senate the present law
was perfected and the legislature
gave it force Already we have seen
the great benefit derived from this
legislation and we are looking into
the future with fondest anticipation
that it will solve the hard problem we
have so long been confronted with.
That the National Congress is now
actively engaged in the passage of a
bill looking to the development of a
general system of improved highways
is matter in which we are not only
deeply interested but profoundly
grateful
The bill known as H. r. 7617 COM
monty called the Shackleford Bill to
promote agriculture, afford better
facilities for rural transportation and
marketing farm products, and en-
courage the development of general
system of improved highways to be
used in the transportation of inter-
state commerce, military supplies or
postal matter, provides for an appro-
priation of not more than twenty-five
millions in any fiscal year.. After de-
Quoting the sum which the Secretary
of Agriculture deems necessary to de-
fray the expenses of his department
I'm the administration OF the act, the
balance of the appropriation after APP
lpropriating $4,000 to each state, one
half of the remained to be appropri-
ated in the ratio which the population
of each state bears to the population
of all of the states as shown by the
last available Federal census, and the
other half Of such remainder in the
ratio which the mileage of rural free
delivery and star mail routes in such
States bears to the mileage of rural
free delivery and star mail routes of
all of the States as shown by the last
available report of the Postmaster
General.
This bill has been amended in a
most substantial way and section
three provides: "That for the purpose
of carrying out the provisions of this
Act there is hereby appropriated, for

airy market prices.



Downy chicks and duclxlings are
just beginning to make their appear
ance, but the Chinese method Of
Matching as many as 500 duck and
chicken eggs in one sitting has not
yet been adopted in this country. IN
husked rice is used for the purpose,
and when this has been roasted it is
either cooled by tanning process or
the wind is allowed to blow through
it until it is lukewarm. The breeder
then sprinkles a three-inch layer of
rice in the bottom of wooden tub,
and on this surface places about 100
eggs. Another layer of rice about
two inches thick is spread over them,
and on this layer eggs are also. plac-
ed, and the tub is filled with in this
way until there are six layers of rice
and five layers Of eggs, making 500
eggs in all in the tub.
Every "a hours the rice has to be
heated, and for this purpose the eggs
have TO be removed, the bottom layer
this time being placed on top, and the
other layers one row lower down, the
eggs that occupied the central position
in the tub now being placed at the
edges, There is some difficulty in
gauging the exact time at which the
eggs will hatch, and unless care is
taken, some of the young ones are
likely to be smothered. This is, of
course, the point at which the ability
of the expert is shown.

Parable of the Woodpecker

Now, in a morning | entered my
Study, and / sat me down to read a
book by a learned Man on The Uni
formity of Nature. And | thought
much about the Reasons Why the
Heat that Burneth man on one day
doth not Freeze him on the next, and
why the Sun which Riseth in the East
a part Of the Time doth not Rise in
the West the Remainder of the Time,
and why the Law of Gravitation
which sometimes pulleth the Apple
Down doth not sometimes Hurl it Up.
And These Studies proved Weari-
ness to the Flesh, so that | opened my
Window for Fresh Air. And immedi-
ately there flew in a Woodpecker.
And no sooner was he in than he wish
ed to be out. And he circled Twice or
Thrice about my Ceiling, and then
flew swiftly toward another Window
which was not open, and Struck it
with all his force, so that he Fell to
the floor and lay there as if he were
Dead. And | Rose, and Stood, and
looked down at him. And / touched
him not, but it was revealed to me
that in his ASKING Red Head he was
thinking thoughts like these:
Behold, hitherto have / flown
wherever there was Transparent
Space, and have struck Nothing. But
/ have been Knocked Down and we'll
nigh Killed while flying through
Space in which | could see plainly.
Yea, and beyond were Trees, and the
Free Air of Spring. Never again
shall | trust in the Uniformity of
Nature; and the ways of the Lord are
not equal.
Then i left him, and / opened my
windows from the top downward and
he rose and flew straight at one of
them, and was gone.
And i, who am but very little wiser
than he, mediated concerning the men
/ had known who suddenly come Up
Against new experience which they
are unable to Catalogue among their
Theories of life, where something
which they see not riseth up before
them and layeth them low, so that
they cry out in their anguish that the
Lord hath forgotten to be Gracious,
and that His Mercy is clean gone for
ever. For | have heard them think
aloud even as / heard the woodpecker
with the Aching Red Head.
Now the Uniformity of Nature is
the Veracity of God. Yet hath God
ways that are not as the ways of men.
So besought my God that. he would
give me Grace to Trust Him when
fly through what seemeth Clear Space
and come Up against Something.

POULTRY
CONSULTING DEPARTMENT
Ground Grain for Chicks

The people of New York State got
to wondering whether it was more
profitable to feed whole or ground
grain to their chickens. This caused
the state station to hold experiments
to determine which grain was best for
poultry.
The first experiments were begun
with two lots of % chickens each,
one lot being fed all its grain finely
ground, the basis of the ration being a
mixture of two parts by weight of
corn meal, two parts wheat bran, and
one part each of wheat middlings, old
process linseed meal, and ground oats.
This was supplemented by skim-milk,
dried blood, and additional amounts
daily of corn meal and ground oats.
The grain fed to the other lot of
chickens was either whole or cracked
and consisted of oats, wheat, corn
and barley. Skim-milk, fresh-cut
bone, and dried blood were also fed in
addition.
At the end of twelve weeks the
cockerels among these chickens were
caponized and fed the contrasted ra-
tions during the winter, twelve cap
ons in each lot being fed for four
months and eight more continued
nearly seven months. Two other lots
of capons from chicks raised by hens
and treated alike until caponized
were fed the contrasted rations for
about five months.
The ground grain ration proved by
far the most satisfactory and profit
able than did the whole grain ration
with the growing chickens; and the
same was found true of capons Of
equal weight from these flocks and
from others of equal weight and age
fed alike before caponizing. No diff
ference was noted in health and vigor
of chicks or capons fed either ration,
but all desirable gains and returned

Worm Rail .......... sos 436
Should the fence run between two
pasture fields, practically no land
would be lost, but when it divides two
cultivated fields the width of the strip
of land made untillable, as shown by
the table, should be doubled, and the
number of rods of fence required to
occupy an acre OF ground would be
one-half stated in the table.
When a forage or small-grain crop
is grown, less land is lost along the
fence row than when corn, potatoes,
or some other crop is grown, for much
land is taken for turning along the
fence row with the latter. Local
practices also influence the amount Of
land along the fence row which is not
cultivated. Thus, in certain parts OF
Iowa and adjacent states, it is not un-
common for a farmer to leave head
land 10 to IL feet in width along his
fences; these are used as driveways.
In many localities of the East it is
the practice to use one horse to pillow
along the fence row in order to get
as close to it as possible.
1t will be noted from the table that
wire, board, and picket fences take up
but little over 3 feet on a side, while
worm-rail fences occupy double this
amount of land. The amount of land
that the hedge fence renders useless
for cultivation will depend upon the
size of the hedge. If it is left un-
trimmed it will sap the fertility of
the soil for more than rod on each
side of it; if it is well-trimmed it oc-
cupies nearly double the amount of
land taken by wire fence. If the
season is dry, hedge does much
more damage than when there is
plenty of rainfall, as its root system
extends out to a considerable dis
lance and takes up moisture that is
needed by the crops in the adjacent
fields.
