ROAD BUILDING
DURABILITY OF ROADS VARY
Classification of Passenger and Freight Highways Is Predicted by
 Chairman DiehI

Freight roads and passenger roads are probabilities of the comparative
 ly near future in congeSted sections
 Of the country, according to Chairman
 George c. Diehl of the A. A. A. good
 roads board, who has sent communi-
 cation to this effect to the office of
 the chief of engineers of the War de
 partment. Mir. DiehI thus comments
 on the up-to-date highways problem:
 There will never be a time when
 all roads are of equal durability and
 carrying capacity. Highways and
 railroads are analogous, in that they
 are both designed to carry traffic, and general rules which have been devel-
 oped through scientific management of railroads apply as well almost in- variably to highways. The heaviest locomotives and rolling stock are car ried on roads like the New York Ger tral and Pennsylvania and Union Pa cific. Their use over lighter con- structed railroads would ruin the roads in comparatively brief period.
 There must come classification of highways. Over class l the heav- fest motortrucks and trailers would be permitted; each truck should have large figures conspicuously placed on the sides to indicate the total weight that it was permitted to carry; Oper- ators and owners of trucks should be , prosecuted for using the heaviest trucks on roads designed for lighter traffic It would be comparatively simple to enforce such provisions, as there seems to be no defense of the proposition permitting one or two heavy trucks to ruin an investment of many thousand dollars the lighter constructed highways.
 At the road intersection the high way capacity could be indicated. as the highway department should, I be lieve, have a traffic department under a chief traffic engineer, having to do, not with construction and mainte- nance but merely with the control of traffic. It is extremely likely that 1t would result ultimately in a system | of freight roads and passenger roads, | and that wider and parallel roads l would result ultimately in system | of freight roads and passenger roads, | and that wider and parallel roads |

FEEDS FOR GROWING CHICKS
In Addition to Grains Growth of Young Fowl Can Be Hastened by
 Supplying Milk.

As soon as chickens will eat whole wheat. cracked corn, and other grains, the small sized chick feed can be elimi- mated. In addition to the above feeds the chickens growth can be haStened if they are given sour milk, skim milk, or buttermilk to drink.
 Growing chickens kept on a good range may be given all their feed in a hopper, mixing two parts by weight of cracked corn with one part of wheat, or equal parts of cracked corn wheat and oats in one hopper, and the dry mash in another. The beef scrap may be left out of the dry mash and fed in separate hopper, so that the chickens can eat all of this feed they desire. If the beef scrap Is to be fed separately it is advisable to wait until the chicks are 10 days old, the poultry division of the Uni- ted States Department of Agriculture advises, although many poultrymen put the beef scrap before the young chickens at the start without bad re- sults
 Chickens confined to small yards should always be supplied with green feed Fine charcoal. grit and oyster shell should be kept before the chick ems at all times, and cracked or ground bone may be fed where the chickens are kept in small, bare yards, but the latter feed is not necessary for chick ems that have a good range.

FARM POULTRY
AIM FOR HEALTH AND VIGOR
Appearance and Action Taken Toaeth- CT Are Fairly Reliable Guide
 for Selection.

Only by continuous selection for health and vigor is it possible to build up a flock that will produce fertile eggs, strong chicks capable of making quick growth, and bullets with sufficient stamina to withstand the strain of heavy egg production. The appearance of a bird is not al- ways a sure indication of it's vigor, but appearance and action taken to- gether are a fairly reliable guide for picking out vigorous birds. say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture
 The comb, face, and wattles should have good bright color; the eyes should be bright and fairly prominent, and the head should be comparatively broad and short, having a fairly short, well-curved beak and showing no tendency to be long "snaky,' or "crow-headed."
 The bird should be alert and have a strong, vigorous carriage: the legs

Much Good Road Building.

Last year recorded unthought of road building activities throughout the United States. A few years ago some narrowly bounded community might have done something to make the roads within it's confines better. Such an act. however. was little cause for comment except locally. The au- tomobile with the range of travel it has brought within everyone's reach, had not been developed and could not have been used if it had. This means that the advent of the automobile has forced good roads.

FARMER BACK OF GOOD ROADS
Seasons Do Not Wait and Crops Must Be Sowed, Cultivated Reaped
 and Marketed.

The farmer or rural dweller, in cer- tain sections, for a long time stood in the way-he wanted the roads, but he didn't want to pay for them. He did not realize that in the long run good roads pay for themselves out of savings made to the community in haulage of people and merchandise But the farmer today is reckoning in units of time, for seasons do not wait and crops must be sowed and culti- vated, reaped and marketed at the right time. Therefore the farmer is now back of the road improvement.

would be found to be the most eco nomical method of laying out the high way system.
 ''It is impossible to lay out all roads of the heavy form of construction in the first place, the money is not avail able, and, secondly, too many years would elapse before the more sparse 1y settled sections of the country were developed. It would not be at all difficult to break bulk when leaving the heavy traffic roads, and in a com paratively brief time an excellent the ory of highway construction would be developed whereby each locality would be able to determine the amount 1t was feasible for them to expend on each mile of highway construction"

 support the body, giving no indica-
 ton of weakness or a knock-kneed condition. The bone, as seen in the shank, should be strong and not too
 fine for the breed, while the toes should be strong, straight, and not
 too long. The plumage should be clean and smooth, as a lack of con- dition often accompanies soi1ed, roughened plumage. The condition of flesh should be good, as a very thin bird Is usually in poor health. Sick fowls, or fowls that have apparently recovered from sickness, Should never be used for breeding if 1t can be avoided.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, La, October 26.-The opening in cotton today was lower, the depression remained in force throughout the session and the close was at the lowest, at losses under the final quotations of yesterday of 51 to 57 points, with December down to 1S.2Sc a pound. Professional traders did most of the days business and they sold on an unfavorable view of general trade conditions and a pessimistic interpretation of the days news of the railroad labor ne- gotiations. Spot accounts were less favorable, indicating little demand in the western belt spot markets, while spots here were 25 points lower at 1S.75c for middling.
 In the early trading a much better Liverpool than due had no effect on the local market and before the ses- sion was half an hour old prices were about dollar a bale down. Galveston wired that the spot edmand there was poor and Waco telegrams intimated the considerable liquida- tion of spot holdings was accepted on yesterdays advances.
 The weekly crop reports from the government were called highly unfa- vorable as they stated that picking was completed in Georgia and almos completed elsewhere In the cotton re- zion, but they aroused little buying The hurricane caused heavy rains in the Atlantic coast portion of the belt but it's actions i-idicated that it was passing away from the belt and If was hardly regarded as a factor in the trading.

BULLS GET 4 JOLT

 RED WINTER WHEAT
Corn and Oats Take the Count for a Loss With Wheat, While the Provisions
 List See-SaWed
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 26.-Assertions that exporters were selling red win ter wheat back to primary markets at profit gave decided jolt today to bulls in the wheat markets. Prices closed heavy. 1kc to 2Ac net lower. Corn lost Ac to Ac and oats Ac to sc. In provisions, the outcome varied from 5s decline to an advance to 2hc.
 Owing to fancy premiums at west tern terminals, Montreal was said to have shipped wheat back to Toledo, and there was said to have been a sale of red winter wheat at New Or leans at 5 51ac over December, fob. New Orleans, as against 10c premium here for an ordinary car of No. 2 red. Besides, resellers were understood to be offering wheat at Liverpool below the cost of the wheat at New York. All these factors caused liquidating sales here on the part of holders and sentiment in general changed from the bullishness which had character ixed the market during the earlier part of the session. Initial upturns appeared to be based chiefly on opfn- ions that receipts of grain would be small for some time, at least until the railroad strike problem was set tied. Complaints of dry weather, too, continued from parts of the winter crop belt
 Corn and oats were governed all most entirely by the action of wheat. Corn husking was reported as mak- ing excellent progress Support from pack CTS counter balanced in the pro visions market the effect of weakness in the grain and hogs markets.

Steel Corporations Recent Cut Is Big
 Factor In Market

Cleveland. O., october 26.-(spe- al.)-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Producers and consumers of iron and steel seem to have shifted their attention from the threatened rail strike to the new attitude of the in- terstate commerce commission. as evidenced by it's decision to reduce freight rates on grain approximately le per cent. Action of the commits sion cannot fail to encourage carriers to push through their in- tention to seek further reduction of 10 per cent in wages, and 1t also Is interpreted as an indication that lower freight rates on other com modities, including iron and steel, will follow in due time those on ore and grain.
 Reduction in price of steel ralls from 347 to $40. announced Satur- day by the United States Steel Cor poration. fits In most opportunely with the railroad rate and wage developments.

RECENT ADVANCES
 DW|NDLE IN THE
 COTTON MARKET
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Forty-one to Fifty-six
 Points on the Day
By Associated Presss

New York, october 26.-About half of yesterdays advances were lost in the cotton market today. It seemed that the covering movement inspired by smaller ginning figures than expected had been completed during the previous day and todays market was without any support of consequence, with prices easing off under scattering liquidation com bined with renewal of Wall street and loca! pressure. December broke to 18.7Sc and closed at that figure, with the general market closing steady at a net decline of fl to 56 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of IS points on April but generally 1 to points lower. The early cables from Liverpool were firm but prices there weakened as soon as the local market openeA while houses with Liverpool con nections were considerable sellers. There was also selling by the south, supposedly in liquidati ton of long con tracts and the market very soon weakened under liquidation by buy CTS of yesterday and q selling by some of the people who had covered short contracts on the advance of the previous day
 Trading was very quiet until we'll along in the afternoon when renewed nervousness or uncertainty regard ing the outcome of the Chicago con- ferences seemed to be making itself felt and there were increased offer ings from Wall street and the west. January broke to 1s.5Sc with active months generally showing net de- clines of 41 to 61 points and while offerings were little better taken below the 19 cent level. last prices were the lowest of the day.
 The feeling appeared to be that aside from covering of shorts, yes terday's ginning figures have failed to stimulate buying power either in goods or raw materials, and the ab- sence of trade demand encourages a little scattering pressure. There were reports of a slightly easier basis in the eastern belt, but other wise very little was heard from the spot situation and very little hedge selling wass reported. Weather ad- vices indicated that the effects of the tropical storm had been pretty well confined to Florida, and the weekly report of the weather bureau reiterating reports of rapid picking appeared to be without market in- fluence.
