ACTIVITY IN HIGHWAY WORK
Up to July /, 1919, State Bonds Aggre-
eating $224soo,0oO, Had Been
Authorized.

Aside from money to be used coop
eratively under the federal aid road
act, aggregating nearly $6S0000,000,
some states will expend large sums,
and their several subdivisions will
provide large additional amounts.
"It is interesting to note that up to
July /, 1915" says the secretary of
agriculture in his annual report,
estate bond issues aggregating $224,.
100000 had been authorized and ap-
proved by popular vote and that pro-
vision has been made for voting next
year on proposals for the issuance of
additional state road bonds to the ex-
tent Of approximately $314,000,000.
During the present and the next fiscal
year there will be made available for
road improvement at least $1,000, 000,-
600. Certainly few laws, If any, have
produced greater results, either In
terms Of expenditures for good pur-
pose or in terms Of helpful legislation
and machinery, than the federal aid
road act. 1t seems clear, in the cir
cumstances, that the principal limit
ing factors in the 1920 program will
be those Of rail transportation for,
and production of, suitable road ma
terials, the contractors organizations
available, and the labor supply"

CHEAPEST FEED FOR
FLOCK OF CHICKENS
Corn Is Favored in Nearly AL
Parts of United States.
FaVorite Grains Used by Many PouI.
try Keepers Without Considering
Quality or Possibility Of
Cheaper Substitute.

Farmers, as rule, feed their pOul-
try the grain that is cheapest on the
farm that year. Many poultry spe-
cialiSts and most small poultry keep
ers use their favorite poultry feeds
without considering either the quality
of the supply or the possibility of u.s.
Ing cheaper substitutes.
Under normal conditions, corn is
the cheapest poultry feed, in nearly
all parts of the United States, say
poultry specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
During the past year oats have been
in nearly every locality cheaper than
corn. When corn goes down to $1.50
a buShel, oats should be IS cents and
barley S1.20 bushel to give the same
value as poultry feed
Oats, with the bulls on. contain
more indigestibie matter than corn,
and the indigestible hulls also make
oats less palatable to poultry and Of
less feeding value. An average sam
pie of oats should be valued at about
II to 10 per cent less than a good
sample of cracked corn. The best
wheat usually available for poultry
Is not actually worth more as a pOuI-
try feed than good cracked corn. Low

RlNEBRMAS:

Proper care and food solve the egg
problem.
Musty grain is more expensive than
good stuff In the end.
The busy hen is the one that shells
out the most eggs.
Variety in feeding is very important.
"yariety is the spice Of life" to hens
as we'll as others.
Excessive fat often causes apoplexy
or egg-bound. Corn alone makes hens
too fat. Remember that.
There is little profit and satisfaction
for the poultry-raiser who does not
keen his fowls properly housed and
comfortable in winter.
IF efforts were made to dispose OF
oil hens when their best laying days
wore over a large quantity Of poultry
meat would be placed on the market
Moldy feed, or moldy litter, or any
thing else moldy, is likely to cause
digestive troubles and canker.
When fowls do not have access to
natural green feed, sprouted oats, cab
bage, mangels, cut clover, etc, should
be fed.
When the henhouse is normally dry
and frost appears on the walls, it is a
sign that the walls are too thin, or
that there is not enough ventilation,
or that there are too many hens in
the house.

mail routes and main market roads
free from snow as it is to keep rail-
road tracks clear.
officials connected with highway
work anticipate a prompt response to
this appeal. They report decided
increase in the interest of the public
on this matter of prompt removal Of
snow from highways, not only to meet
the necessity of keeping all sources
of supply and communication in eff
fective operation, but as a means Of
protecting the public's investment in
roads.
If there we're little or no demand
for traffic during snow weather, high
way authorities state the cost Of snow
removal would be justified. Snow
melting on the roadbeds tends to soft
en- the subgrade and loosens the base
under the wearing surface. Evil
dences of these damages may be seen
after heavy SHOWS in the late winter
and early spring.
When snow is not removed on trunk
highways, traffic gradually breaks its
way through when thaw begins. The
traffic will create one or two sets of
ruts or tracks. The constant track
ing in the same rut produces disas-
trOus results to the road surface, max
ing repairs difficult and expensive.
