ALL RECEIVE SOME BENEFIT
Good Roads Are Advantageous Alike
70 Producer and Consumer
Storage Charges Less.

When the roads of the great pro-
ducing zones of this country are i'm
proved, benefits will accrue not only
to producers, but to consumers. When
marketing is distributed throughout
the year. storage charges must decline.
This country is paying at present large
storage prices on fOOdstuffs. The dis
advantages of freight congestion in the
fall cannot be entirely eliminated in
many places, but good roads will GER
tafnly have q marked tendency to dis
tribute hauling over longer periods.
It is reasonable to say, therefore,
that good roads mean that diversified
farming will be encouraged, the area
of profitable production increased. the
opportunity for favorable marketing
improved, and more uniform distribu-
ton of farm products secured.

LOCATION OF POULTRY HOUSE
important Factors to Consider Are
Convenience, Good Drainage
and Yard Space.

The factors OF Importance to be
considered in selecting the site for the
poultry house are convenience of loca-
ton, nature of soil, good water and air
drainage, and a large amount of yard
space or available grass range. In the
matter of convenience the poultry
house should be located near the other
farm buildings and within a reason
able distance Of the dwelling house,
but not so near the house that the
poultry will become q nuisance where
they have free range by roOsting on
the pOrches. A southern or southeast
ern exposure should be selected, put
ting the house, ii possible, on a knoll
or elevation Of the land where the
water and air drainage are good. It is
very importan, that the land be well
drained, so that it will always be dry
around the poultry house. Where
there is good water drainage, the air
drainage is also usually good, while If
the poultry house is located in a low
place, cold and frosty air tends to set
tie In such low place, making it
very undesirable site for the location
OF the poultry house.
In regard to soil one must be rela-
lively Influenced by the kind Of soil
on the farm, but, If possible, select a
site which has sandy loan soil and
one that is well drained. Avoid q
heavy clay soil or q very light sand.
The land should be heavy enough to
grow good grass and green feed and
not burn up quickly in hot weather.
A heavy clay which does not drain
properly and which remains cold and
wet late in the summer is very unde-
sirable.
Free range is the ideal condition un-
der which to keep poultry, where it is
possible. On many farms the gardens
can be fenced, allowing the poultry
free range, provided the poultry house
is erected at suitable distance from
the dwelling house or from the crops
which would be materially injured by
the fowls. Where only very limited
range is available and the fowls must
be kept yarded, it is advisable to ar
range for two yards. Alternate these
yards. growing one yard TO green

which type of outfit is the best pur-
chase.
Application OF Limestone.
Limestone ground to pass through
a ten-mesh screen, all finer particles
included, is recommended by the de-
partment of agriculture for the com
mon application of two tons to the
acre. Either very finely pulverized
limestone or burnt lime is recommend
ed where an application of only a few
hundred pounds to the acre is to he
made. For general use in the more
humid portions of the country it ad-
viSeS an application of one to two
tons of ground limestone TO the acre,
or one-half that amount of burnt
lime, once in a rotation Of not more
than five years unless actual test
proves this unnecessary. For alfalfa
and permanent pastures. an initial ap-
plication Cf double these amounts
should be made. Lime may safely he
used at any point in the ordinary farm
rotation without serious loss of the
material. If applied I'm connection
with titled crops. its mixture with the
soil will lie insured. The effects of
lime are likely to be in proportion to
the thOrOughneSS with which it is
mixed with the soil in which the crop
roots develop.
The Hays free press., 1920-10-21

crops, such as oats. wheat, and any
quick-grOwing grain with a small
amount of rape seed. or some other
quick-growing crop which makes a
tender succulcnt growth. If the fowls
have to be yarded, and two yards can
be kept in grass or alfalfa, this makes
a splendid arrangement, alternating
the yards so that the grass is not kill
ed in either yard. Where the space is
so limited. it is advisable to renew the
land in this yard by blowing or work
ing the land and planting it two or
three times each year to some Of the
quick-grOwing grain crops, putting a
temporary fence a half foot from the
front of the house, thereby keeping the
fowls off Of the growing crop until the
grains are from 2 to inches high.

IMPROVED
HIGHWAYS
INCREASE IN MOTOR TRAFFIC
Statistics Show Increase of 1,41s,a2s
Cars Over 191s-Roads Must
Be Maintained.

That the present interest In the con-
structiOn Of new highways should not
divert attention from properly main
tanning highways already improved is
point which .the bureau Of public
roads. United States department of ag-
r1culture. has had occasion to empha-
size many times in recent months, par
1cularly In view Of the enormous in
crease in motor vehicle traffic which ia
taking place. The bureau recently
completed a compilation of statistics
from all the states of the Union show
ing that there were a total of Z, 1865, ,446
registered motor cars (including motor
cycles and trucks) In the United
States In 1919. This is an increase Of
q per cent, or 1,41S,S29 motor cars
over 1918. Such figures indicate that
the country's highways are being used
far more than in the past, it is pointed
out, and in consequence added atten-
ton must be given to the repair prob
lem. The increase In the number of
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than the
total number registered in the entire
United States for 1913.
Additional use of roads and streets
has. of course, been accompanied by
additional revenue paid to state and
local governments in the form of Ii
cense fees, which in nearly all states
are devoted to highway needs. The
registration and license fees for auto
mobiles. trucks. and motor cycles in
use in 1919 totaled $64, ,697 .255. .5S-an
increase of 20 per cent over 1918. The
total revenues for New York and Penn
sylvania the past year were about dou-
bic the revenues received for all mo-
tor vehicle registrations and licenses
in the entire United States in 1912.

LITTLE TROUBLE WITH GEESE
Lameness, Caused by Confinement and
Improper Food, Is Chief Ailment
Of Fowls.

Geese should be easier to raise than
any other kind of poultry, as under
correct conditions there should be no
disease among the young. a leading
breeder Of geese says that the only
aIIment he has to contend with is
Iameness, which IS generally caused by
too close confinement, unwholesome
food. too warm housing or too close
quarters. Geese require dry and wind
proof quarters with litter on the floor
and will stand the hardest winter
weather.
To treat Iameness give tablespoon
full OF castor oil, by holding the beak
open and working it down the throat
