ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Public Improvements Will Effect Mate
rial Reduction In High Cost
Of Living.

"Food products were never higher
priced or more needed than they were
this past year. and yet the food adj
ministration states that one-half Of our
perishable produce rotted on the
ground for lack of transportation ia
cilities," said George c. Hubbs, sales
manager for large automobile con-
Germ. "Such waste would be I'M
heard of In Europe. 1t would spell ma
tional disaster. And at first thought
1t seems remarkable that 1t should be

miles Of railroad as against 349,391
miles for all the rest Of the world put

But we must remember that all
this great network Of railroads and
waterways might as well not exist. so

Every consumer who has sufficient
backyard space may reduce the high
cost of living to a certain extent by
maintaining a small flock of poultry
The product of such flock, both In
the form of eggs and fowl for the ia
BILE, may be obtained at low cost be-
cause of the use of table scraps and
kitchen waste.
Ordinarily one Of the general-pur-
pose breeds, such as the Plymouth
Rock, WyandOtte, Rhode Island Red,
or Orpington, is preferable to the
smaller egg breeds, as the former fowl,
on account Of their larger size, make
better table poultry, while the young
chickens, for the same reason, are bet
ter adapted as fryers and roasters.
However, If the consumer desires eggs
only, one Of the lighter egg breeds,
such as the White LeghOrn, will be the
best for him to maintain. No matter
what breed is selected, it Is advisable
to keep poultry only of some pure
breed or variety.
Number Depends on Space.
The size Of the flock depends upon
the space available and the quantity
Of table scraps suitable for feed. Do
not overstock and do not overcrowd
the yard. Fowl do best where they
have plenty of room and sufficient
food. For flock of 20 or 25 hens, a
yard space of not less than rs by 30
feet should be provided, as 20 to 80
square feet Of yard space should be
provided for each bird.
It is advisable for city poultry keep
ers to procure well-matured pullets in
the fall, so that they will begin to lay
before cold weather sets in. An mex
pensive, commodious, and comfortable
house should be provided, with 8 to 4
square feet of floor space to the bird,
although some poultrymen report good
results where the allowance is only
az to 3 square feet. Often an I'M
used shed or small building in the
back yard can be easily converted into
a chicken house. Satisfactory shell
tiers can be made from piano boxes or
packing cases by purchasing a small
quantity of 2-by-4 or 2-by-3 lumber for
framing. The box boards can be used
for siding or sheathing, and then can
be covered by roofing paper.
Nests should be simple and may be

The farm bureau Of Buchanan coun

Every piece Of business stationery

tionery and envelopes bearing it. Five
thousand galvanized signs, IA by 20
inches, are being made and will be
posted on all roads leading into. and

this organization with its 1872 mem
bers. Space has also been contracted

papers in which this trade mark will

made out Of boxes about II inches
ordinary orange box with a partition
in the middle is suitable for this pur-
pose, each box providing two nests, the
top being removed, the box laid on Its
side, and a strip or inches wide
nailed across the lower front. Ordi
narily q 5-foot fence of poultry wire
is adequate, unless cats are bother
some, when occasionally it is neces-
sary to cover the top of the yard, also
with wire. II hens show a tendency
to fly over the fence which has no
top, the flight feathers Of one wing
should be clipped.
Keeping Feeding Cost Low.
The city flock should be fed as
cheaply as is possible and consistent
with the steady flow Of eggs. All ia
BILE scraps, kitchen waste, leftover
vegetables, beet tops, turnip tops, car
rot tops, potato Feelings, onion tops,
watermelon and cantaloupe rinds, cab
bage leaves, lettuce leaves, bread and
cake crumbs, and meat scraps are
keenly relished by the hens and should
be devoted to egg and meat produc-
ton. Usually 1t is necessary to pro-
vide some supplementary grain for the
use Of the backyard flock during the
winter, although some owners do well
without purchasing any grain at all.
This, Of course, depends largely on
the amount and variety Of table wastes
available.
Often 1t is inadvisable to attempt to
renew the city poultry flock by hatch
ing and rearing chicks or by buying
and rearing day-old chicks. Previous
experience in the raising Of chickens
usually Increases the chances of sue
cess. Generally the land available is
usually small in area and no attempt
should be made to raise chicks unless
plot Of ground can be provided sep
arate from that to which there is grass
or where supply Of green feed can
be furnished Under average condi-
lions, where the yardage is limited, 1t
Is preferable to Gull the hens as soon
as they have outlived their usefulness
and to replace them by well-matured
pullets In the fall.
Thus the keeping Of roosterless and
chickless flocks can be successfully
carried on and the ultimate purpose
Of all such flocks satisfled-the reduc-
ton of living costs.

Motor cars and motor trucks are a
partial solution. But they are not

requires good roads as well, over

never was q sounder investment In
the world than money expended in
the building Of good roads. The

ago, and they built their roads so well
that some Of them are used yet.

ESTIMATED YIELD OF HONEY
Crop Of United States Placed at 92.1
Per Cent on July by Department
OF Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart

The honey crop Of the United States
was 92.1 per cent of normal on July
l, according to the estimates Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Reports to the bureau Of crop
estimates warrant the estimate that
the yield Of surplus honey per colony
was 25.8 pounds and that about one
half Of the annual product per colony
was realized by July /. At the same
date In 1918, the estimated surplus
was 25.8 pounds and at about the
same date in 1917 1t was 1875 pounds.
The high condition Of 92.1 per cent Of
normal on July this year compares
with 88.7 in 1918 and 1858 in 1917.
