The maintenance usually runs up
to considerable annual cost, and it
is this maintenance that usually is
neglected by county commissioners
and road supervisors.
AS good an illustration of road
maintenance as 1 have been able to
find is that practiced by New Hamp.
shire. New Hampshire's roads are
mainly graveled roads. Most Of
them are rightly constructed, the
gravel being wet and rolled as it is
placed upon the road, but in many
places this is impossible on account
of the expense and in these places the
gravel is simply spread upon the road
and left for the traffic to compact.
Many of these roads have to bear
fairly heavy traffic, especially dur
ing the summer months, most Of
which is automobile traffic, and the
roads would soon be ruined were it
not for the maintenance feature of
New Hampshire's road system. This
road maintenance Is carried on by
several hundred patrolmen. They are
hired from the last of March until
the first of December, and their
work consists in patching every lit
tie rut and hole that appears, clean
ing the bitches and culverts and in
keeping the roads smooth.
Each patrolman has a section of
road assigned him. He is required to
furnish one-horse wagon, IL shovel,
u rake and light road drag, The
road is smoothed by this drag after
every rain, and if chuck holes start,
fresh material is placed in them,
tamped down and left for the traffic
to compact.
These patrolmen are paid an aver
age of 1925 day and the total cost
of maintenance runs about $24O per
mile per year. The total first cost
Of construction of these roads runs
about $4,000 mile.

CHIPPING EGGS IN CAR LOTS
Average Losses of From to Per
Cent Can Be Greatly Reduced
by Proper Packing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
The amount of damage sustained in
marketing eggs in carload shipments
which, according to various reliable
authorities, averages from 3 to 8 per
cent, has been reduced to less than
per cent in tests conducted by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
covering a period of more than two
years and in which the eggs were ship
ped on an average of 1000 miles. By
following good, commercially prac-
ticable methods of packing, storing,
and hauling, eggs can be transported
in carload lots with a total damage,
including "checks," "dents" and "leak-
ers," of less than 2 per cent.
In order to reduce egg losses to the
minimum they should be packed in new
standard cases symmetrically made
with 5, or preferably 6, 3-penny cement
coated nails at each corner of the sides
and bottom and at the center partition.
Cases made of cottonwood have, on tho
whole, the greatest number of advan-
tages. Medium filters (three pounds,
three ounces) or heavier should be
used. 1t is absolutely necessary, also,
that the filler be perfectly new. Even
a short-haul shipment into the packing
house should disqualify the filler for
further use. Suitable cushions of ex-
celsior, with q fiat, should be placed
on the top and bottom of the case.
The load of eggs must be solid unit
in the car, fitting without play. This
is the most important factor in avoid
ing damage in transit. The amount OF
damage in properly loaded cars buffed
with straw is slightly less than in the
same cars buffed with wood. In plac-
ing the buffing, care should be taken
not to permit it to prevent circulation
Of air, which is essential to good re-
frigerati0h. When the straw buffing is
placed at the bunkers and extends from
the top of the load to the floor of the
car, it is found that at least so per
cent of the refrigeration is lost.
Self bracing of the load by means
Of suitable strips placed below the
cases proved much more satisfactory
than braces nailed to the car. Nailed
braces seldom arrive in place and fire.

of persons to be supplied. Hence,
the smallest flock to be considered
consists of four hens. When hens are
kept only to furnish eggs for the table
no male bird is needed.
A coop for a flock of four hens
should have floor area of about 20
square feet, or about five feet per hen.
For larger flocks the space al
lowed per bird may be little less, be-
cause the space is used in common,
and each bird has the use of all the
coop except what her companions actu-
ally occupy. For the ordinary flock Of
10 to Is hens, the space allowed should
be about four cquare feet per hen.

DIRT ROADS ARE PREFERRED
Much of the Wear and Tear on Hard
Road Can Be Avoided by Making
Dirt Track on Each Side.

Dirt roads are the cheapest-and
for large part of the year the best
highways that can be built. Because
we want to use our roads every day in
the year we are willing to go to the
expense of hard road building, but
that is no reason for discarding the
dirt roads entirely.
More than half the wear on the hard
road can be avoided by making good
dirt track on each side. People will
use the dirt road from preference
when it is passable. The life of the
hard road will be greatly heightened,
the cost of repairs reduced, and the
needs of the road users better served
by building this combination of hard
and dirt roads.

KEEP HENS FOR CHEAP EGGS
Flocks in City Back Yards Can BE
Supported Principally on Waste

prepared by the United States Depart
nlent of Agriculture)
The best opportunity for cheap eggs
for city families during the war lies
in keeping enough hens in the back
yard where they can be supported
principally on kitchen wastes to sup
ply the family table. The keeping of
hens in back yards is an economic
opportunity for city families and at
the same time an essential part of the
campaign for increasing poultry pro-
duction.
The smallest and least favorably sit
uated back yard, says the department,
offers opportunity to keep at least
enough hens to supply eggs for the
household. The number of hens needed
for that purpose is twice the number

ROAD
BUILDING
MAINTENANCE IS A BIG ITEM
New Hampshire Uses Patrolmen, Who
Repair Every Little Hole as Soon
as 1t Appears.

(By E. B. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
There are two elements that should
be figured in the cost of road con-
struction. First, the cost of construc-
ton. Second, the cost of maintenance.
1t is the yearly average of these two
that should always be considered
when figuring the cost of road. True
1t is, that roads may be constructed
in such manner as to need very lit
tie maintenance, but these roads are
very expensive to build, and it is out
of the question to contemplate them
for the West. The other type Of road
is the road that costs moderate
sum to construct and then a yearly
charge for maintenance Of said road.

Helen Makes Some Green Tomato
Pickle and Incidentally Enrages


Think that's fine enough?" Helen
paused in her chopping and held out
the bowl of green tomatoes for Mag
gie's inspection.
Don't know, ma'am,'' doubtfully,
some pretty big pieces there
Then you chop it a little more while
I wash the peppers"
Maggie took the chopping bowl rath-
er sullenly. 1t was plain that she did
not approve of this extra work on her
ironing day.
1t had been just a week since the
dinner at which Warren had been So
enthusiastic about Mrs. Stevens pickle.
When Helen had asked for the recipe
he had scathingly remarked that as
she had never made any pickle, It was
net likely that she could make any so
good as that.
But Mrs. Stevens had sent the recipe
the next day, and now Helen with
anxious painstaking care was follow
ing it faithfully. She was making this
without Warren's knowledge. wanting
him to think when he tried it that
it was part of the jar Mrs. Stevens had
given them.
If he did not notice the differences
she would then triunphantly declare
it was her pickle. So while she washed
and chopped the tomatoes, cauliflower
and peppers, she was happily planning
this denouement.
Her Recipe.
'tThatH do, Maggie, that's fine
enough Now you'd better go to the
drug store for that turmeric. Wait
