WHY FAMILY MOVED TO TOWN
Compelled to Make Change Because Of
Poor Schools and Bad Roads-
Remedy for Poverty.

"Why don't they 60 on to farm?"
is the question with which many men
dismiss from their minds the story Of
some poverty-stricken family. The
chances are five to one that that same
family was induced to move to town
because of poor schools and poor roads
in the country. The remedy for much
of the poverty now in our towns is
good roads and good schools in the
country. Why should not country
schools be given the same attention
given city and town schools? Why
should not the children be permitted to
60 to them over good roads with dry
feet, instead of wading through mud
and water? Good roads will make the
country better place in which to live.

REVENUE FROM HENS
Fowls-Dry Leaves Make Ideal
Scratching Material.

A scarcity of eggs in winter is loss
that every true poultry keeper tries
to avoid. Being the only source Of
revenue expected from the flock at
this time of the year, everyone is
anxious to have a goodly supply, and
with proper care and feed, satisfac-
tory results can reasonably be ex-
pected.
Proper quarters in which to house
the hens is the first and foremost
necessary essential. The house should
be kept clear of dirt and rubbish, and
the nests sweet and clean. A cold
dry hen house provided it is free from
dafts, is to be preferred to damp
warm one, as the latter is sure to bring
disease to your flock.
In the dust bath-which must al
ways be provided in winter-should be
mixed reliable louise powder, to keeI

tested fowl positively won't lay and
is losing proposition, always.
Make the hens work for every single
bit of food they get in winter, it will
prevent them becoming too fat and
helps keep up a vigorous circulation,
preventing a chilled and shivering
fowl.
Hot food in winter Is imperative;
every morning and night it should be
fed piping hot. In the morning feed
dry mash, made by boiling small pota-
toes, beets, turnips, vegetable parings
and the like, thickened with bran or
other middlings. This mash should
be fed in clean troughs, placed high
enough to make the hens hustle to
reach them. Hens delight to scratch
in litter of dry leaves and it makes
the most ideal scratch-material. Small
grain generously scattered in a deep
litter of leaves will keep the flock hap

NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Expert at National Capital illustrates
How Scheme Is to Be Brought
to Successful End.

The establishment of a national sys-
by the federal aid road law, which
compels all the states that would share
in it's benefits-and that means all of
the states-to equip themselves with
state highway departments. With these
state highway departments devoting
their attention to the building of state
systems of main, through-line high
ways, every condition is favorable for
the next and browning act-the estab-
lishment of a national system of high
ways.
By way of illustrating how a ma
tional system of highways is about to
be evolved by easy and logical stages,
an expert at the national capital made
the following statement:
"Gradually the state has made itself
a compelling factor in the handling of
local road problems and, as logical
sequence, the federal government, first
through educational activity and later
by the financial aid provided by the
federal aid law, has made itself q
powerful factor in the working out OF
the state highway problems. The next
logical step follows the same course
which has been pursued by the state
governments, namely, the broadening
of federal participation to provide fol
the establishment of system of ma
| tiOnal highways.
'This policy can be put into effect
without disturbance of existing organ
izations, without providing new means
Of finance and with but little change
In existing laws. The process would
logically take course somewhat al

TERM "c0LIC" IS VAGUE ONE
Impossible to Give One Remedy to
Apply to All Affections Commonly
Termed "CoIlc."

By H. 8. EAKINS, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
The term "colic" is vague one and
Is generally meaningless. In the horse
there are ten common affections of the
intestines, four of the stomach, three
of the generative SYSTEM four of the
urinary organs, three Of the rectum
and seven miscellaneous conditions
making total Of 81 common condi-
tons known as collie. There are also
q number Of conditions not frequently
met which are also known as collie. 1t
Is therefore out Of the question to sug-
gest a remedy to cover all Of these
conditions, but each case should be
studied, and after correct diagnosis
the proper steps in treatment may be
taken.

and vines bearing fruit relished by
birds are great attractions in their
season.
Birds are desirable about premises
not only on account of their beauty
and song, but because of their eco
monte worth, according to the United
States bureau of biological survey.
They are especially useful as insect
destroyers during the breeding period,
when they have To work early and late
to obtain sufficient food for their
nestlings, and their movements at this
time are more interesting than during
any other season. There is, therefore.
Il double purpose in offering them spe-
cial nesting facilities. Ii mud is avail
able, swallows, robins and phoebes will
found and wall their nests with it. If
we put out feathers, bits Of wool or
Irvine, a dozen different kinds OF birds
will make use of them. If we furnish
safe retreats in which they can rear
their young comfortably most of them
will be occupied. In fact, no attrac-
tlOll IOT SulnHleT DlTuS Is more eHec-
tual than a series Of houses suited 10
the needs and habits of the various
/ kinds Of house birds.
A few years ago only four species
were commonly regarded as house
birds-the house wren, the bluebird,
| the tree swallow and the martin. Since
the movement To protect birds and
make neighbors of them began. how
ever. their natures and needs have be-
come better understood, and il is now
known that many other species will
avail themselves of houses construct
ed for them by their human friends.
| The practice of erecting brdhouses
in this country, while now nation
wide. is not so common and uniformly
distributed as ii should be- and more
extended provisions of this nature
cannot fail to result i'm largely in
creased number of house birds.

the final placing of birdhouses, care
should be taken to have them face

Oped homing instincts of birds can be
relied on to attach them To the neigh
borhood where they first saw the light,
and the identical pairs which nest in
the house provided for them one year
will often return the next season TO
enjoy the same bounty and protection.
Location of Houses.
The location OF "a birdhouse or food
shelter has much To- do with its sue
cess, for the reason that birds have
decided notions as to proper sur
roundings for "a dwelling. Martins
prefer to breed near houses, but not
within 20 feet of trees or buildings.
Bluebirds are inclined to select or
chards or pastures having scattered
trees. Wrens, thrashers and catbirds
live in thick shrubbery Robins like
trees with sturdy trunks and branches.

QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE BE-
FORE BUILDING HOUSES
Before erecting brdhOuses one
should first determine the kind Of
birds to which his premises are adapt
ed. The question usually next arts
ing is as to the number Of birds that
can be accommodated. Unless grounds
are large, it is generally useless To eX-
pect AS tenants more than pair of
each species, except martins, accord
ing to the United States Biological
survey. However, tle singular intol
erance shown by most birds during the
breeding season 10 others OF their
kind does not operate between those
of different species. A dozen differ
ent kinds of birds will pursue their
several modes of hunting and raise
~ IA. L. I.,,e
rarely two Of the same sort. OF all
our native house birds, martins alone
are sociable.
Birds Are Tolerant.
The fact that birds are more toll
Grant toward strangers than toward
relatives was well illustrated by an
observation made recently i'm New
Mexico. A onestory Toulouse ten
feet square had nailed To three cor
ners of its roof rough birdhouses made
from packing boxes. One was occu-
pied by violet-green swallows, another
by western bluebirds, and the third
by English sparrows. A still more re-
markable association of different spe-
cies has been reported by resident
Of st. Louis, Mo-, who once had a
pair each of liickers, martins. house
wrens and English sparrows nesting
in the same house.
The fact that there is limit TO the
possible bird population on any given
tract must be taken into consideration.
When the probable tenants have been
decided uDon the selection of sites is
I'm order, for the site often decides the
