ROAD TESTS IN CALIFORNIA
Sides With Macadam in Middle
Surface Topped.

An experiment in road construction
over adobe land is being made in a
section of the county highway between
Bay Point and Pittsburg, in Cali
fornia.
Experience has shown that concrete
roads built over adobe land results in
the cracking and disintegrating Of the
road in a few seasons and in an effort
to overcome this trouble County
Surveyor Arnold is having the link Of
the county highway constructed In
manner tried in several eastern states
and proved successful.
The concrete is laid in two separate
sections, each eight feet wide with a
two-foot strip through the center. In
this strip is placed oil macadam which
is rolled level to the surface Of the
concrete and the entire surface Is
faced with q topping.

PREPARE HIDES FOR MARKET
Farmers Bulletin Should BE Especial
iy Useful to Owners-BuIIs to
Be Discarded.

To meet the demand Of live stock
owners for information on proper
methods Of skinning and preparing
hides for market, the department of
agriculture Is preparing for distribu-
|tion the second edition of Farmers
Bulletin 1855, Country Hides and
Skins" The suggestion has reached
the department that the publication
mentioned should be especially useful
to owners Of scrub bulls, particularly
those who are discharging unfit sires
and are demonstrating their interest in
live stock improvement by joining the
federalstate campaign for better sires.

GOOD ROADS ARE ESSEN INITIAL
Success Of Motor Truck Express Lines
Depends Greatly on Character
Of Highways.

The success Of the motor truck ex-
press depends to a very large degree
on the character Of the roads over
which the routes run. Bad roads in
crease the operating costs, and conse-
quently the rates to patrons, beyond
the point Of economy. Trucks are de-
structive to roads unless the roads
are permanently built. Therefore, the
problem of improving and developing
the marketing facilities for farmers
through the establishment of rural
motor express lines is directly con-
nected with the problem Of permanent
improvement Of the highways.

GRANITE BLOCK FOR PAVING
Material Regarded as Particularly
Suitable for Trunk Lines Enter
ing Large Cities.

Study of various paving materials
suitable for much-traveled highways
has disclosed interesting data on
granite blocks to the bureau Of public
roads of the United States department
Of agriculture. Many road builders
are coming to regard this material as
particularly suitable for trunk lines
entering large towns and cities where
there is an increasing amount OF
heavy traffic.
Though the initial cost of granite
block construction is high, the main
tenance of the pavement, if properly
laid and grouted. is less than that of

MANURE CARRIER IS USEFUL
Cost Of Handling Fertilizer Is Mate-
rally Reduced-Hauled to
Fields Immediately.

The cost of handling manure may
be reduced by the use of a carrier and
an overhead track. The usual plan is
to throw the manure into the carrier
this requires but one handling. The
carrier is then dumped into the spread
er, which is hauled to the fields and
unloaded by the horses. Manure is
thus handled but once.

more Truth Than Poetry in Old Saw
About Hens Teeth Being Scarce.

particles, the hen and every other
member Of the bird family is able to
dispense with teeth. The teeth" Of
a bird are really the ''grit" which it
consumes with its food. Sharp sand,
small stones, broken shell and similar
substances, in the gizzard, assist in
pulverizing the other articles in it's
diet. In fact, this gritty material ac-
complishes the same purpose that mo-
lar teeth do in other animals mouths.
Until it becomes useless as digestive
aid it is stored in the gizzard.
The hard, callous pads Of the giz-
zard are contracted and expanded dur
ing digestion by powerful MUSCLES.
This motion, together with the grit,
reduces the food to fine particles. The
grit is retained in the stomach until it
10 smooth and then is discarded natur-
ally and another supply is eaten to
take its place.
Grit for Confined Fowls.
For this reason fowls kept in con-
dnement need grit at their disposal
quite as much as other kinds of feeds.
The grit already in their gizzards, at
the time flock is penned, might be all
that the fowls will require for three
or four weeks, but If more is not sup
piled digestive trouble will soon set in.
It is safer to supply it from the begin
ming. Sand will do for the purpose,
but chickens seem to prefer a coarser
grit, one Of a size between wheat and
corn. Oyster shells are commonly sup
piled to the flock because Of the lime
they contain, which is necessary for
shell formation, but they also serve
ito some extent as grit in the diet. The
pieces become smooth more quickly
than harder grit and a fresh supply
must be eaten more often.
United States department Of agricul
Eture poultry specialists state that
hen needs and will consume about one
pound of grit in 12-month period.

TRUCK IS QUITE Efficient
Cost Of Construction and Maintenance
Is Lowered one-HaIf by Use
Of Equipment.

In the construction and maintenance
Of the earth roads in. the rurcl Sec
tions, the most efficient equipment yet
found consists Of a road grader drawn
by a five-ton truck. This equipment
will do the common grading such as
is usually done on this type Of road
for about one-half the cost Of doing
the same work with teams in the old
way.

The Maintenance Cost Of This Kind
Of Pavement, If Properly Laid, Is
Less Than That Of Almost Any
Other Kind Of Pavement.
almost any other type of pavement.
In Worcester, Mass. over a period Of
10 years the average maintenance cost
per yard was less than a half cent.
This also is true in other cities, re-
gardless Of the fact that in general
the streets covered with granite block
paving are those carrying the most
severe traffic.

WATER OUT OF
WAGES IS URGED
Increased Production is
Keynote of Metal
Trade Meeting

ATLANTA. June 17.-Increased
production to meet the increase in
wages as a means Of "t2king the wa
ter out of wages" and routing dis
content throughout the country was
recommended to delegates to the
third annual convention of the South
ern Metal Trades Association, which
opened yesterday and closed today,
by j. F. Trazzare, manager of en-
ployment and public relations of the
Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany.
Mr.. Trazzare's subject was "Tak-
ing the Water Out of Wages" He
laid emphasis upon the falicy of pol
itics in endeavoring to straighten out
the industrial unrest of the country
or the use of coercive measures by
capital or labor, and urged realiza-
ton by both manufacturers and en-
ployees that the maximum produc-
ton was necessary to end unrest.
Among the features of entertain
ment for the delegates was an auto
mobile ride to Lakewood Park,
sightseeing trip over the city and to
Camp Gordon and theater scheduled
for tonight at the Lyric for delegates
who remained over until that time.

Chaplin Winter Home at
Thomasville Burns

TOWNSVILLE, June 17.-Fire
of unknown origin completely de-
stroyed the winter home of Charles
M. Chaplin, of New York, here yes
terday. When discovered, the rear
of the house was in flames and, be-
ing two miles from town, it was be-
yond fire protection.
Much valuable old furniture and
rare articles of value were de-
stroyed, and the insurance of 100000
will fall far short of covering the
loss, it is stated. The house was
bought from members of the Mac
Intyre family about 80 years ago
by the late Mrs. Wyman Jones, the
mother of Mr.. Chaplin, and had been
largely added to. Mr.. Chaplin is a
large landholder here and will prob
ably rebuild.

Senator Harding also voted to
limit federal control of railroads to

of the war, while organized labor as
a rule favored its continuance for a
much longer period.
The Republican nominee further
more was one of the Republican sena-
tors who voted to pass the Volstead

veto of President Wilson.
Other important votes by Harding
include the following;
For woman suffrage.
Against submission of woman suf-
frage amendments to state conven-
tions instead of legislatures.
In favor of the prohibition consti-
tutional amendment.
Against prohibition in the District

the United States, says The Boersen
Zeitung.
Nothing hitherto" the newspa-
per declares, warrants apprehen-
sion that relations with Germany
which have been initiated by Amer
lean commercial and financial in
terests will be hampered, and, on
the contrary, it is probable they will
be furthered. The character of Amer
lean diplomatic relations with other
countries has of late been different
from American commercial relations.
The American business man has
emancipated himself more thorough
ly than those of other nations from
government and politics. He does
business wherever business offers.
American foreign policies have al
ways been chiefly party policies, and
will remain so under Mr.. Harding or
