Gull Out Old Hens and Increase Eaa
 Production of Flock.

Experiments carried on at the Col lege of Agriculture, University of Ar kansas, under the direction of Dean Martin Nelson show that farmers too often keep their old hens too long. and as a result of this practice. the production of eggs decreases almost in proportion to the number of old birds retained. However. enough yearling or old hens should be kept to produce eggs for matching. Chicks matched from yearling or old hens are stronger and more vigorous than those matched from bullet eggs. Quite often the bullet eggs are infertile. The small eggs produce small chicks, the size of the chick being almost in proportion to the size of the egg matched One should save about one third of the best yearling hens for breeding stock and dispose of them al the end of the second year. The trap nest is the best means of locating the good individuals

doing away with antiquated systems
of administering our county affairs.
Our association has Joined with other
associations, and it is hoped that
measures will be adopted that will
mean further saving to the taxpay-
ers.
The close scrutiny of public ex-
penditures which the association has
brought about can not but result in
much good, and the people who are
living in this county and paying
taxes have gained a keener apprecia-
tion of the fact that carelessness and
waste in public matters react to the
detriment of every member of the
community and interfere in a ma
terial way with his continued well
fare.

CITY PLANS MORE SAN
ITARY IMPROVEMENTS

AS a result of the report to the
city council Tuesday evening by Mrs.
Myrtle Cardiff, Pullman's only wom-
an councilman and chairman of the
committee on sanitation, the septic
tank on Guy street in West Pullman
will be thoroughly cleaned and more
adequate dumping grounds, hidden
from the casual human eye, will be
provided for the city refuse. Mrs.
Cardiff made a thorough investiga-
ton of the sanitary conditions sur
rounding the septic tank and dump
ing ground and her report showed
both to be in deplorable condition.
Attempts will be made by the
council to secure a location for a
dumping ground at some point re-
moved from sight. where a huge pit
can be excavated and the refuse
dumped into the pit. Mrs. Cardiff
recommended the cleaning up of the
present dumping grounds by burn
ing all the refuse that can be des-
troyed in that way and dumping all
the cans and other metal refuse into
a pit.
A committee, including City En-
gineer Myers, was named to select
a location for the proposed dumping
pit.

CATERPILLARS FOR
ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
State College Expert Believes Tract.
Ors Would Prove Efficient for
Dragging and Grading Roads

The following statement from
Prof. o. l.. Waller is timely and
should be given careful considera-
ton by the commissioners in plan
ming their road program for this
year:
81 believe caterpillar tractors used
to drag and to grade our roads
would be efficient and would save a
bunch of m oney. Possibly some of
the lighter tractors would do the
work as we'll. The tractor COM
panes should be invited to demon
strate the possibilities of their ma
chinery. Horse drawn road drags
and graders are too slow, do not
cover enough milage per day, are an
awkward. cumbersome outfit and
waste too much time getting into ac-
ton, morning and noon, and in get
ting to their feeding quarters at
noon and night, and on account of
farm work, can not be used on the
road early enough in the spring,
when the work can be done more eff
ficiently.
The tractor peoples recent DEM
onstration of some half dozen splen-
did tractors, to the gas engine stu
dents of the State College, convinced
me that lot of money could be
saved by using tractors for general
road work.
They could probably be used for
dragging the roads to pull road grad
ers, to haul repair materials, etc.
They could be in service most of the
year.
THE county should call for DEM
onstrations and only after thorough
tests and proven efficiency should
purchases be made.
"If under test they do not make
good, then we must stay with the
horse, but if they are able to deliver
the goods then Whitman Co. should
purchase tractors, organize perma-
nent road maintenance crews and
thereby secure all-year-around bee
ter roads for less money"
