TO KEEP STATE ROADS OPEN
Trucks and Flows to be Operated Over
Entire System.

The main arteries of the State roads
system, from Oakland to Point Look
out, st. Mary's county,a ARE to be Kept
free of snow this winter, as a result of
the adoption Saturday by the Roads
Commission of comprehensive plan
for snow removal. The plan was sub
mitted by Chairman and Chief Engine
err MackaN
Under the planl big trucks which
have traction on all four wheels will
start out over the roads, pushing snow
plows ahead of them as the first snow
falls. Each truck will be assigned a
definite section of road to keep clear,
and will continue in operation as long
as snow is falling.
Arrangements have been made with
the United States Weather Bureau for
storm warning signals, and on notice
of an approaching snowstorm, the
trucks will start for the section expect
ed to be visited by the storm.
The roads selected to be kept clear
at the time are the main line from
Oakland, Keyser, Cumberland, Hagers-
town and Frederick, to Baltimore;
Belair road to the Delaware line near
Elkton; Washington and Annapolis
boulevards, main line Prince Georges,
Charles and st. Mary's counties, from
Washington to Point Lookout and on
the main line in Anne Arundel and
Calvert counties from Annapolis to
Solomon's Island
Places in the mountains where drifts
occur are to be protected by snow
fences. The places requiring them
aggregate about six miles, all of which
cannot be constructed this year, as the
cost of these fences run into some
thing like $4,000 mile.
Chairman Mackall said the project
was thoroughly practicable and had
been successful in Pennsylvania. The
only equipment needed are the trucks,
which the state already owns, and the
snow plows, which cost $500 each.
Twenty of these will be required.
"The system which we have outline
for the removal of snow" said Mr..
Mackall, contains about AIS miles.
Experience and the cost Of doing. this
work will determine whether it is ad-
visible to extend it over all the more
important highways in the State.
"The Pennsylvania Highways De-
partment informs me that the cost Of
removing snow averages from $50 to
5000 a mile, according to location and
the amount of snow to be removed.
feel that the work can be done more
cheaply in Maryland, because there is
much less snow here.
II am convinced that the prompt re-
moval of snow will not only be a great
convenience to travellers, but will keep
down road maintenance cost. Roads
upon which snow and sleet is allowed
to lie deteriorate. 1t is probable that
the cost of snow removal will be offset
by the saving of road repairs in the
spring"

MEAT FEEDS MAKE EGGS

Meat scrap or other animal
feed high in protein is the one
essential part of the mash which
cannot we'll be omitted, according
to A G. Oliver, Poultry Club
Leader for North Carolina. In
a recent experiment at the gov
ernment farm, Beltsville, Md,
a pen Of pullets on free range
which did not get meat scrap or
any other animal protein feed,
laid only 80 eggs in year, COM
pared with yields of from 1875 to
$50 eggs from pens fed rations
containing meat scrap.
The eggs from the pen
where no meat scrap was includ-
ed in the ration cost % cents
more a dozen than when the
meat scrap was included. Fish
meal or fish scrap can be used
to replace the meat scrap and
compares favorably with a good
grade of meat scrap containing
the same per cent of protein.
Skim-milk or buttermllk either
sweet or sour is excellent for re-
placing part or all of the meat
scrap. The milk may be used in
mixing the mash, if a moist mash
is fed, or it can be kept before
the fowls as a drink. If clabber-
ed and fed thick, or like cheese,
hens will eat enough of it to re-
place all the meat scrap needed.
A little bone meal makes an eX-
cellent addition to the mash or it
can be used to replace part of
the meat scrap.
On general farms during the
growing months the fowls pick
up many bugs and worms which
furnish an excellent source of
animal protein feed, therefore,
they do not need so much beef
scrap as hens which do not have
a good range, but the bugs dc
not furnish enough meat feed tc
give good egg yield.
The use of table scraps anC
cooked vegetables also helps tC
reduce the necessary meat from
one-third to one-half, depending
on the quantity of meat products
in the scraps. The scraps are
fed to the best advantage j.
ground up mixed with the mast
and fed moist.
High vegetable protein feed
do not entirely replace meat O
animal protein feeds to advan,
tage, but in sections where pro
duced they may be used to re
place one-fourth to one. half tn,
meat scraps.
Of the high vegetable protein
feeds, cottonseed meal has givel
the best results followed by pea
} nut meal and soybean meal. No
more than one-tenth of the mas
: should be composed of cotton
seed meal, as the use ofa larger
proportion cuts down the egI
yield materially and may affec
the quality Of the eggs, producing
spots and blotches on the yoll
which makes them look bad
1 Other high vegetable protei
. feeds which can be used wit
!. success for poultry are glute
