MAINTENANCE COST OF ROADS
Depends on the Small Amount
Needed 10 Keep 1t Up.

The cost of a road involves not only
first cost but the cost of keeping it
in continuously disable condition. If
this were not so, the cheaply built
gravel road would be entirely suit
able for our main Travelled thorough
fares. The ultimate economy of the
concrete road depends upon the ex-
tremely small amount of money re-
quired to keep it in excellent cOnd-
ton. The only maintenance needed on
q well built concrete road is that nee
essary to keep filed with tar the joints
and the cracks that may develop. The
1919 report of the state commissioner
of highways Of New York gives the
average cost of maintenance for the
three years 1915, 1916, and 1917 as fol
lows: Macadam $4,000 per mile per
year for the maintenance of 2,40S
miles; gravel, $S24.0O per mile per
year for the maintenance of 17S miles;
first-class concrete, $12400 per mile
per year fer the maintenance of 264
miles.

those having free range in sumH&-
twice a day. When there is a ve:y
long interval between feeds it is Diff
cult to keep fowls busy which are
kept in confinement Idle fowls often
contract bad habits, such as feather
pulling and egg eating, besides going
out of condition from lack of exercise
In case it is not convenient to feed
three times a day, the moistened mash
may be fed in the morning, and at
the same time the noon feed of grain
may be scattered in the litter, which
will keep the fowls busy a great part
of the day.
For those who cannot conveniently
feed their fowls early in the morning
q good plan Is to scatter grain plenti-
fully in the litter after the birds have
gone to roost. This grain will furnish
feed for the early morning, say poul-
try specialists in the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Some poultry keepers can look after
their fowls only once a day. If this
is in the morning, mOistened mash may
be fed, followed by throwing grain in
the litter to furnish feed for the re-
mainder of the day. If it is in the
evening, before dark, moistened mash
may be given, and either after the
fowls go to roOst or in the morning,
before daylight, grain may be scat
tered in the litter for eating during
the day.

upon latitude, altitude, longitude, and
other local conditions. The date varies
considerably in broken or hilly country,
even on the same farm, being appre-
ciably later on the southern slope of
a hill than on the northern slope Of
TIE same hill at the same elevation. Be-
cause of the fact that the larger part
of the fall brood appears and is gone
within a week or so, it is possible so
to time the seeding Of winter wheat as
to avoid the Hessian fly, and this is
one of the most practical and effective
measures that can be applied.
A full discussion of the Hessian fly
and how to prevent losses from it is
contained in Farmers Bulletin 1888,
copies of which may be had free by
writing the United States department
of agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart

Rice produces its largest yields on
clay soils that are not too deficient in
organic matter. The land selected for
rice culture should lie in level tracts
that can be cheaply drained.
The crop requires an abundant and
always available supply of fresh wa,
ter, and to obtain good yields of high
grade rice ample drainage facilities
must be provided.
The surface soil of the seed bed
should be loose and finely pulverized
to a depth of at least two inches.
The field levees should be low, broad,
and permanent and constructed on con-
tour lines at distances which will hold
the water at an average depth of five
inches. They also should be seeded to
rice. This will increase the cultivated

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
Teeth Like Chalk

Mr.. Herbert M. Gessner writes from his
home in Berlin, N. H.:
| had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January | got
so bad that what l would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
| suffered terribly. prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day | read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me box at the drug store as l was going
to York at p. m. | took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
three-tourths gone, felt fine and when it
was used up l had no pains. Wife got me
another box but l have felt the pain but
twice. used five tablets out of the new
box and | have no more stomach trouble.
Now | write to tell you how thankful I
am that heard of EATONIC. l feel like
new man; eat what l like drink plenty
Of water, and it never hurts me at all.

AID NATIONAL FOREST ROADS
Secretary Meredith FaVors More Lib
eral Financial Cooperation in
Western States.

Speaking before highway represent
atives for western states, Edwin T.
Meredith, secretary of agriculture,
stated his belief that in the western
states, where large areas of govern
ment lands are located. the federal
government should adopt a system of
financial cooperation more liberal to
the states than is the case in the rest
of the country.
II think we must recognize the fact
that the existence of these large areas
of government lands places these
states in somewhat different situa-
tion from the remainder of the cOun-
try" said Mr. Meredith, "and that it
would be only equitable for the fed
cral government to increase it's per-
centage of cooperation over the
present basis I am also heartily in
favor Of continuing the appropriations
for the building of national forest
roads. These forests constitute a
great natural resource, and their
preservation and development is ma
tional responsibility which ought to
be met in full measure.
Mr.. Meredith advocated active con-
tinuati0n of present federal and state
cooperation in connection with state
road systems with the systems of ad-
Joining states in order that the work
ing out Of an adequate highway pro-
gram for the whole United States may
proceed in an orderly manner. He
also advocated the continuance of
work now going forward under the
federal aid road act.
CAS- 1921 is the last year covered by
the act" he said, cit would be highly
desirable, in my opinion, for congress
to make another provision as promptly
