FOWLS OPEN DOOR OF HOUSE
Hens Nay Liberate Themselves
by Stepping On Il

The following is one Of the simplest
methods Of enabling hens to open the
henhOuse door In the morning, there
by relieving their owner OF the neces-
sity of rising at daybreak to let them
out. The door OF the henhouSe is
hinged at the top, so that it opens out
ward, and the lower edge catches
against the floor, so that it cannot
swing inward. Near the lower edge
on the outside a cord is attached,
which passes upward over two small
puleyS hanging from a beam. The
other end Of the cord supports a tin
can weighted with stones, so as to be
just heavy enough to pull the door
open and keep it so. On the floor Of
the henhouse, right in front OF the
door, is fitting platform, with hook
in the front edge, which fits an eye
screwed into the door. The door can
therefore be locked at night by catch
ing the hook In the eye. and the pull
Of the cord against the door on the
outside has the effect Of making the
hook hold securely. When the own
er has locked the door in the evening,
after the hens have gone to roOst, he
sprinkles a few grains Of feed on the
outward end of the fitting platform,
which is now In a horizontal position,
and leaves the henhouse by the large
door, which he locks behind him. On
the following morning. the first hen
which jumps upon the platform to
pick at the feed tits the platform,
releasing the hook from the eye; and

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Prosperity Made to Flow Into Any
Locality by CONSTRUCTION of Sub
stantiaI Highways.

The way to make prosperity flow into
any locality is to build roads that
will last and not have to be done over
every few years.
With good roads farmers can deliver
ali their products directly to towns
within a radius Of so or more miles, and
by making more profit themselves they
reduce the high cost of living for other
people; for merchants are able to take
advantage OF new sources OF supply to
buy their stocks under favorable con-
ditiOns, and sell them to their custom
ers at lower price.

Fifty-nine livestock breeders asso-
Citations, with a reported membership
Of 1924, were organized during the
last fiscal year with the help Of the

numerous calf clubs were organized

the work Is being done in regions
where the beef-cattle industry is prac-

One OF the purposes OF beef-cattle
extension activities is to eliminate
scrub bulls and replace them with
purebreds Of good quality. The fed
eral workers cooperate with the state
agricultural colleges through their e1-
tension divisions and particularly with
county agents.

BENEFITS OF BETTER ROADS

Cost Problem.

To both city man and farmer the
good road means release from bond
age. Counties and states where good
roads have become a part OF a pro-
gressive program Of legislation have
seen values rise, and this again has
brought home the fact that good roads
pay for themselves. More important
TO the city dweller, however, is the
fact that eventually good roads will
prove the solution OF the high cost OF
living problem.

trucks; and the trucks will undoubted-

Good roads are a paying investment.
Local authorities in cities, towns and
counties should act without delay TO
meet the growing national and local
demands before trade goes in other di-
rections. It is almost impossibIeSt to
get back the lost advantage after other
districts have won 1t.

BoIshevism Finding Favor.

I found the word bolshevism IN the

people Of Europe. I expected to find
them antibOlshevik If for no other rea-
son than that bolshevism came from
Russia and the bolsheviks made peace
with Germany while the allies were IN
a death struggle with her with the re-
suit in doubt. I found them confess
ing their faith in bolshevism, speaking
OF it as a new religion. resenting the
obstacles their own governments had
placed in its way.
In Ireland, the last place expected
to find a leaning toward bolshevism, l
found an open devotion to 1t. The Irish
people are in many respects the most

Political Action Called Failure.
heard a speech In London that
deeply impressed me. 1t was applaud
ed by several thousand men and wOm-
en-average good British working peO-
pie. Most of the men wore service
badges. The speaker, a clean young
Engiishman of about thirty-five, said:
Political action is a failure. We
vote and We are betrayed. Political
parties are the agents Of bands of
capital Their purpose is to keep the
workers apart, knowing that divided
we are poWerless. The only time they
are willing we should unite is when
war calls for men. What did we win
in the war; Nothing. We thought we
had stake in the game, that the hand
we were playing was our own Now
that it is over we have discovered that
we won nothing
What did the working man ever
get by voting. except the worst OF it2
The word vote comes from a Latin
word. meaning to wish Who ever got
anything by wishing?
1--WE are like the story in Bellamy's
Looking Backward You remember
he spoke Of a coach On top OF this
coach the capitalists sit in the sun
shine enjoying the ride. On the side
Of the coach, hanging by their finger
nails and toenails are the hundreds Of
thousands who make up the middle
class. Millions Of men are pulling the
coach. They are sweating and trudg-
fng-they are the working men. Run
ming along the side of the coach are
millions more, fighting to get a chance
to get hold of the rope and pull the
coach. They are the idle. There is
only one thing to do. That is TO stop
pulling the coach, let go of the rope.
Don't wish about it; do 1t. The fellows
on the top of the coach don't do any
wishing-they boss and drive"
The crowd cheered. There is some
truth IN the speech. It is true that
the working man has not had a square
deal, but the fact that he has not had
fair treatment does not make the plan
Of direct action a sane, wise plan.
Revolution would only lead to blood
and disorder and leave the very men
who revolted in a worse plight than
they are now. The millions who are
the majority have an infinitely better
weapon than force. They have the
