INJURY DONE TO GOOD ROADS
Harm Than Steel-Tired vehlcles
on Account Of Speed.

There is more damage done to the
roads now by autos and motor trucks
than steel-tired vehicles ever did, for
the reason of greater speed Of motor
vehicles and their drivers have the
same fool tracking habit the horse
drivers always had. Driving In the
same tracks never damaged steel tires.
but 1t is the destruction of the roads
and rubber tires. The motor vehicle
liz worse for the roads than horse rigs
on account Of greater speed. The rea-
son running In a track Is damaging to
rubber tires, Is sharp rock will be
set in the side Of the track with the
sharpest corner out to nip a piece out
of every tire, and sharp rocks cannot
dodge or bounce out Of the bottom of
the track, but cut holes in the tires and
break the fabric. causing the so-called
stone bruises and rim cuts, even on
properly inflated tires.

DOUBLED LIFE OF HIGHWAYS
French Engineers Find That Simple,

Much Benefit.

It has been the experience of the
French engineers In building roads dur.
ing war times that simple, surface
coatings of a tar preparation more
than doubled the life of the road. This
being true, 1t would seem advisable liz

to cover the surface with some crushed
rock or gravel, and then use the heavy
tar preparation, because the binding
effect prevents the material from slip

Pullet love of home and content
ment with simple surroundings. no
matter how humble, make it advisable
to transfer the prospective layers from
the range to the winter quarters early
enough in the fall that they will be
thoroughly accustomed to their new
quarters before they begin to lay.
Many practical poultrymen neglect
this precaution and maintain their
birds under range conditions almost
up TO the beginning of cold weather
with the consequence that egg laying
Is retarded and often ieopardized.
Accustom PulIets to Winter Quarters.
Timeiness-and timeliness means
to do today the Jobs Of today-is
highly essential in the full moving of
the flock. The owner of exhibition
fowls would never neglect to feed and
condition his birds for the exhibition
circuit. 1t Is just as essential that
the reproducing squads be properly
quartered for the winter season ms
early as possible consistent with the
most progressive poultry management.
This means to accustom the pullets to
their cold-weather home before they
begin to lay.
When pullets are moved to the win
ter quarters at the right time they
soon become reconciled to their new
surroundings and begin to lay with
out any interruption. On the other
hand. IL they are kept out on the
range until they attain maturity,
when they finally are moved to the
cold-weather houses their laying abil-
ty is so seriously checked that the
birds do not produce any eggs for sew
eral weeks and In some instances do
not lay again for some months.
Where the mature hens are to be
confined closely all winter it Is essen
tial to provide three to four square
feet of -four space for each bird. while
fowls having free access to range all
winter in a mild climate In addition to
comfortable quarters need only about
one and one-half to three square feet
Of floor space apiece. 1t Is important
