COUNTY ROAD ENGINEERS
By .Rodmsn Wiley, Department. oI
Public Road. Frankfort. Ky.


II is believed that one Of the most
important positions in any county Isl
that Of the County Road Engineer.
In the first place practically fifty per
cent. and sometimes more, Of all tax
es collected for county purposes is
expended on the roads and people
should be interested in the men selee-
ted for the position Of County Road
Engineer.
A great many men think that any
one can build roads but the concensus
Of opinion among men informed con-
corning roads, is that it requires
training and years Of experience for
any man to know how to build and
maintain roads economically.
The less money a county may have
to expend on roads the greater need
for a competent man so that every
dollar is expended in a way that will
do good. and at this time particularly
we need the most efficient men SO
that the road system of the various
counties can be maintained in the
highest degree at the minimum Of ex
pense, and it certainly requires ex.
perieneed men for that work.
The law says that @ man TO be !
county road engineer SHALL ETH
Err BE A REPUTABLE CIVIL EN-
GINEER OR A MAN WHO HAS
HAD PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
AS A ROAD SUPERVISOR or
BUILDER FOR TWO YEARS AM
WHO SHALL HAVE PASSED

Any court that appoints a maj
that does not possess the above quail

and such action should receive tn

A LOAN PLAN TO FIT

money.
Frank A. Vanderlip, President of the
National City Bank, of New York, said
on one occasion in an address at Wash,
ington: 1--WE must borrow in advance
of our savings and liquidate as we save.
This applies to all, millionaire and en-
ploye alike"
This is exactly the FARMERS SITUATION.
This is the amortization plan. The
farmer gets his money in bulk and pays
it back out of his savings.
Until recently our FINANCIAL
SYSTEM took NO account of the FAR
IMER. Everybody else could borrow
money on terms to suit their particular
business.
The returns from the farm were
slow in accumlating and to borrow large
sums meant hardships and sometimes
loss of the farm at the loans maturity.
NOW ALL HAS CHANGED.
THE FARMER MAY GET HIS
MONEY TO SUIT HIS INDIVIDUAL
REQUIREMENTS. The short term
loan is no longer the only measuring
rod for his credit. NOW THE FARM.
ER'S LOAN is MADE TO ORDER.
A great crisis in our country gave
us Washington, Lincoln and Woodrow

THE FARMERS THE AMORHZA-

Under these conditions, the man who

INCREASE OF POULTRY URGED
Appeal Made to City and Country Peo
pie Alike to Help the Meat and
Egg Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
Owners of back yards in cities and
towns are asked to do everything In
their power to help the meat and egg
supply by raising small fiocks of poul-
try In back yards. Farmers are re.
Quested greatly to increase their farm
flocks or hens so that 100 on every
farm will be the average for the ma.
ton.
The following statement regarding
the poultry needs is taken from the
official agricultural program for 1918
issued recently by the United States
department of agriculture:
Poultry production should be In.
creased greatly, especially in back
yards and ON farms where waste ma.
terial is available and the purchase of
expensive grains and other material is
not required.
Increased poultry production may
be attained most economically by early
Matching; by cOnfining mother hens at
least ten days after the chickens are
Matched; by reducing losses on ac-
count of rats, weasels, and thieves,
and from cold, damp conditions; by
thorough sanitation; by discouraging
the marketing OF early-hatched pullets
as brOilers; by eliminating nonprOduc-
ing hens and keeping good layers
through at least two laying seasons (;
and by the pOutryman raising his own
feed as far as possible"

Plain Poultry House for Small Flock


for breeds of fowls having very large
combs, 1t is no longer considered neces'
sary to build houses so substantially
that when they are closed the cold is
excluded and the temperature in the
house appreciably raised by the heat
from the bodies of the birds.
The system Of tight, warm houses
once very popular was based upon the
idea that to have hens lay in cold
weather they must be kept in houses
where water would never freeze. The
methods of housing now most widely
approved and used are based upon the
experience of many poultry keepers
that egg production is more stable and
the hens keep in much better condition
when the house Is built and used with
a view to giving all the fresh air that
can be given without exposing the
birds to temperature that will frost
their combs. 1t has been found that
the combs of hens accustomed to low
temperature become frost resistant to
a remarkable degree, and the birds
themselves much less subject to colds
than when an effort is made to keep
the houses are warm as is practical.
Except when the winters are long
and severe, hens may be kept comfort.

lightest durable construction, provided
the house has water and wind-tight
roof, rear and end walls, and front
which can be opened as much as is nee.
essary to give thorough ventilation, or
closed as much as is necessary to keep
out rain or snow.
For ventilation in summer 1t is ad
visable and often necessary to have
apertures in the rear wall or in the
ends-tOward the rear, which can be
closed perfectly tight in winter and
opened as much as required at other
seasons.

They were all weeping now.
Pretty soon along came Prince and
Princess Gray Ant.
"What in the world or in the Ant
Hill, is all the trouble?" they asked.
"It's so very sad," said Lady Black
Ant.
"What is 1t that is so sad?" asked
Prince Gray Ant. And then Lady Ant
stopped weeping quite suddenly.
"Im sure / don't know" she said.
"YOu're weeping, and you don't know
what abOut?" asked Princess Gray Ant
in surprise.
''Does any one know what it's
about?" asked Prince Gray Ant.
"Lord Black Ant must know" said
Lady Black Ant, because he told me
1t was sad so that wept."
"YOu wept because he said some
thing was sad, and you didn't even stop
to hear what 1t was !" exclaimed Prince
Gray Ant.
81 never heard of anything so abb

81 stopped to hear It," said Lady
Black Ant, "but he didn't tell me.
Maybe it was too sad" And at the
thought that 1t might be too sad to
have heard she commenced to weep
again.
"YOu don't know at all now sad it is,
so don't weep, but wait in patience un-
til he tells you," suggested Prince
Gray Ant.
"What were you going to tell her
that was sad?" asked Princess Gray
Ant.
Il was going to tell her of some
thing that said might make her unhap-

"And what else?" asked Lady Black

''That was all" said Lord Black Ant.
