ROMANS AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Roads Built Two Thousand Years Ago
Are Still In Active Service
How Constructed.

Two thousand years ago the Romans
built roads, some of which are still
in active service. These roads have
lasted through the centuries simply
because of their massive construction.
The Romans built four successive
cog ses or layers on the earth sub
90 lie, carefully prepared and drained.
First came the statumen or fOunda
ton, then the rOdus, next the nucleus,
and finally the pavimentum or wearing
surface, says writer The statumen
consisted of large fiat stones, while the
two intervening courses were built of
smaller stones laid in lime mortar.
To carry the chariot and packhOrse
traffic Of Roman times, these roads
were seemingly ridiculously heavy, yet
the wisdom Of the builders was amply
demonstrated by the 800 years dur
ing which the Roman road system
formed the backbone Of the transporta
ton system Of what was the greatest
empire Of all time.
We can learn mighty profitable
lesson from the Romans, and II we
teke the lesson to heart now, standing
as we do on the threshold Of a new
highway era, we shall save ourselves
much pecuniary sorrow.

color-shanks and beak pale, ear lobes
showing no yellow. In seeking quail
ity. observe that the skin is soft, fine
and velvety: breast bone thin; bones
straight and flexible. To be in laying
condition, the abdomen is soft and flex-
ible. Vent moist and expanded. Body
depth four inches or more. Width Of
pin bones at least three fingers.
Pick Out Best Layers.
No difficulty should be met in pick
ing out the best laying or the poorest
laying hens in the farm flock. With
some birds, however, the distinguish
ing marks are not SO distinct and may
sometimes be rather contradictory.
Thus one hen may be an early molter
and yet show good body depth. An
other bird may mott late and at the
same time show poor quality. Birds
Of this type are usually medium pro-
ducers and the owner must decide
whether they should be kept or sold.
If the birds are being culled very
closely with the idea of keeping only
the highest producers then all those
In the doubtful class should be dis
posed of. If only the unusually poor
birds are to be sold then those show
ing uncertain characteristics should be
kept. Any person who will examine
few mems, keeping in mind the charac-
teristics of the good producer as OPP
posed to those Of the poor producer,
should be able to Gull satisfactorily.
