HIGHWAYS
LINCOLN HIGHWAY is WONDER
Ocean-to-Ocean Road Is No LONGER an
Unrealized Oream-Specificatio
Not Decided

Seven years ago the idea of a trans
continental highway connecting New
York with San Francisco, improved
throughout its length and forming a
backbone for great national system
Of arterial roads, was only a dream in
the minds of few. Today the accom-
plishment Of this great memorial route
stretching from ocean TO ocean is as
sured.
The Lincoln highway breatheS the
twentieth century. In years to come it
will be adorned, as were the Roman
roads, with statuary, landmarks,
homes, hotels-a panorama Of the
achievements of man. 1t will be the
path of advancement, a golden chain
linking the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The motor truck is in its infancy
and highway freight transportation as
an adjunct to the railroad is only just
beginning But the Lincoln Highway
association feels that it is well within
it's province to act as clearing house
fer the best thought in the United
states tOuCci ullS tllt ~ obdDlC ACQuiS
mentS of main arterial American high
ways in the next 20 years.
What will be the specifications for
this wonder road? That has not yet
been decided. The association real
ICES that it is undertaking a difficult
problem, but it believes that it will
have in solving it, not only the inter
est and support of the American pub
lie, but the cooperation of the eng-
neers and highway commissioners, and
also the best technical experts the
country affords.
Some of the finest concrete roads of
the country are to be found in Michi-
%an These have a standard thickness
ut the sides of six and a half inches.
About the best stretch of highway we
have at present is the Lincoln high
way from New York to Philadelphia.
1t is 90 miles long, and every day there
passes over it an average of 1900
tons. This road is eight inches deep
at its center. This is the thickest
surfacing in the United States today.
Whether the show road Of the world
will be of this thickness or deeper is
under consideration There is some

Distribution Systems.
Three principal methods Of market
ing domestic hides and skins prevail
at present, as shown bv studies made
| by the bureau Of markets. The one In
which the farmer. ranchman and local
butcher usually participates is need
lessly complex and costly. The hides
which any one of these individuals has
to sell are usually disposed Of either
to a junk dealer or local buyer.
These men. In turn sell to travelling
buyer. The latter passes on his goods
to the large hide dealer, and this deal
er sells to broker or tanners buyer,
from whom the collected skins are
finally disposed Of to a tannery. Thus
there is maintained long. circuitous
distribution system that adds needless
ly to the final cost.
Contrast this system with the direct
methods which the packers are able to
employ Each packer having a large
assortment of hides is able to grade
and classify his output 50 that he can
dispose of it advantageously to a hide
broker or tanners buyer direct.
From these men the hides go direct to
the tanner Thus various Intermediate
agencies and their profits are elm
mated.
SO simple distribution system is,
of course. impossible for the small pro-

TRAP NEST is VALUABLE AID
Enables Owner to Ascertain Just
Which Hens Are Laying-Requires
Much Attention.

The purpose of trap-nesting the flock
is to ascertain which hens lay, either
for determining what record they
make, or for identifying their eggs
during the Matching season SO that
pedigree records are possible. Trap
nesting requires a considerable amount
of attention, but Is valuable aid In
developing flock of poultry along
lines of breeding for egg production.
A trap-nest is a laying nest so ar
ranged that after hen enters It she
Is confined until released by the at
tendant. One trap-neSt should be pro
vided for each four hens kept in tiocks
of so or more, while more trapnests
are necessary in smaller tocks. The
hens are marked with numbered bands
and q record is kept Of their egg pro
duction. The nests should be visited
at least four times daily, and prefer
ably much more often, frequent trips
being especially necessary when the
hens are laying freely and during hot
weather.
The trap-neSt may be attached to the
underside of the dropping board with
the front facing the pen, and arranged
SO that it can easily be removed, OF
it may be placed on the walls of the
pen. If the nest is placed under the
dropping board, the latter will serve
as top for the nest, and the rear OF
the nest may be of wire to allow good
ventilation in warm weather. If the
nest is placed on the wall, Stats er
wire should be inserted from the front
of the nest to the wall at sharp angle
to prevent the hens from rOOSting on
the nest.
OF course, it is essential to make the
nests as attractive and coy as posi-
BILE, and this is accomplished by PRO
viding them with plenty of clean lit
ter, as often as a new supply of straw
is needed. Furthermore, in partic
ularly Objectionable cases it pays to
clean all the litter from the floor of

DIFFICULT TASK TO
IMPROVE OLD LAWNS
ReseedIng and FertiIizing Will
Assist Materially.
Loan or Humus Forms Suitable
Medium for the termination of
the Seeds and Development of
the Young Grass Plants.

To improve an old lawn is frequent
ly more difficult than to make a new
one. 1t is usually impracticable to
attempt the improvement of turf that
is very poor. Reasonably good turf,
however, can be bettered materially
by reseeding and fertilizing.l Reseed
ing an old lawn should be done at the
same time Of the year as new seeding.
South of New York 1t should be done
in the early autumn. If the lawn is
patchy the small areas should be
scratched with steel rake or similar
implement and dressed with a mixture
Of good loan, compost, or humus and
the grass seed then sown. The loan or
humus forms a suitable medium for
the termination of the seeds and the
development Of the young grass plants.
If the turf Is thin over large areas,
seeding can best be accomplished by
a disk seeder, which cuts into the turf
and deposits the seed. If disk seed
er is not available. some implement
should be used that will loosen the
soil but not tear the turf badly. After
seeding. a dressing of loan or compost
should be given and the area rolled
lightly.
In the northern tier Of states re-
seeding should be done early in the
spring At that time the soil is more
open than later in the season and Of
fers better seed bed. Light rolling
after seeding In the spring is usually
beneficial.
Care should be taken when moving
avoid disturbing the young grass.

FEEDING. STOCK IN TRANSIT
out Proper Facilities Must Make
Own Arrangements.

When the distance is such that q
live stock shipment to destination can
not be made within the time provided
under the federal 2S-hour law, animals
must be unloaded, fed and watered.
The railroads which have the heaviest
long distance shipments provide feed
in-transit stations for this purpose at
intervals along their lines. Railroads
which do a small live stock business
often are without feed-in-transit sta
tons, and the shipper patronizing these
lines must make his own arrangements
for feeding and watering.

Of India

One Of the worlds most prolific gold

In prosperous years. when the gods

vest Of rice, grains of gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
ly mystified the natives, who ascribed
the gold TO supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains, derived from the graveIIy
soil, lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
with water.
The strange occurrence. at first
deemed supernatural, led to the discov-
cry that the gravels of the valley were
rich in gold. brought down from the
mountains. Since then the Kolar dis
trict has contributed largely to the
