SCOTS USED FIRST MAcADAM
Resident of Ayrshire Made His First Experiments About 1S14-
 Roads Now Common.

Macadam roads are so common in America that national pride may well lead us to look upon them as a do- meStic product.
 But John MacAdam was Scot, resi- dent in Ayrshire, where he made his first experiments about 1914. accord ing to the New York Sun. Five years later the first public roads were laid with the pavement and a grateful par liament awarded the inventor a grant of $5O.OOO.
 In 1927, after the new pavement had been thoroughly tested, MacAdam was made surveyor general of all metropolitan roads in and about Lon don and the use of his method became general throughout the United King dom.

On account of his wide experience Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects Address all inquiries to William A Rad ford, No. 1927 Prairie avenue, Chicago H., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply.
 Time was in the history of American farms when a barn was merely poor ly constructed shelter for the farm live stock and some of the feed need ed to maitain the animals throughout the winter months. No particular at tention was paid to the needs of the animals other than a roof over their heads and walls to break the winter winds. Cows housed in these StrU2c- lures were cold and a great percent age of the feed they consumed was used up to maintain the required body heat, and little went to produce milk. Horses were not needed for farm work in winter, so they were put on light feed, and when spring came were in poor condition for the heavy work of that season.
 Study of the livestock industry showed that this type of poorly con-

Auntie Not an Old Maid.

Aunt Mary is now twenty-five, and her married brothers twit her about her single state. They also tell her that since she has had her last birth day she is an old maid. This both she and her adoring five-year-old niece Jean deny.
 The other night one of Aunt Mary's admirers called. and little Jean was made a member of the party. Natu- rally she was more in love with auntie than ever, and when the young man laughingly called her an old maid Jean Loyalty sprang to the rescue. No, she ain't an old maid neither" she denied.

of labor, and wages reached the high est levels attained in the history of the country. In 1917. competent labor could be secured for from S1.5O to S3 per day, but the corresponding wages in 1920 were from S3 to S5 for a short CT days work.
 In proportion to this demand there was also a pronounced scarcity of con- struction o materials. Sand, gravel stone. and cement, and materials com mon1y used in road work increased in price between 1917 and 1920 from 50 to 100 per cent. Naturally. these in creaSeS in cost were reflected in the prices paid to contra ctors for road work. Gravel roads increased from S4,535 to $7,25O per mile; concrete from $21.165 to upward of S4O,0O0 per mile, and brick roads from S33,OOO to S55. .OOO per mile.
 As funds available for road con struction are largely limited by stat ute, or by the returns from taxation, a majority of the states this year have deliberately withheld work, the1 plans for which had been completed, until they could obtain a greater return for their expenditure.

IMPROVED ROADS
ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1920
1917 on Account of Distinct Shortage of Labor.

Prepared by the U. S. Department of
 Agriculture)
 Every kind of road cost about twice as much to build in 1920 as it did fin 1917, according to the chief of the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture. and high way construction suffered more than any other class of work through rail- road congestion, strikes, labor troubles and material shortages.
 After the war there was a great public demand for improved roads. Many roads had been seriously dam- aged by war traffic. and it appeared that the return of men from military service would provide an abundance of labor. The army of laborers which was expected to apply for the work did not. however, materialize. On the contrary. there was distinct shortage

 The Mediterranean or egg breeds are best suited for the production of white-sAeiled eggs. Representatives of this class are bred largely for eggs rather than for meat. Among the popular breeds are Leghorn Minorca, Ancona and Andalusian.
 An outstanding characteristic of the egg breeds is the fact that they are Classed as nonsitters; that is, as a rule they do not become broody and hatch their eggs. When fowls of this class are kept. artificial incubation and breeding usually are employed. Farmers Bulletin sos, Standard Va rieties of. Chickens. II.

 Lanicshans. Brahmas, Cochins, and Cornish fowls belong in the meat breeds, rather than for eggs, and al- though cIassed for meat are some times kept as general-purpose fowls. They are all heavier and larger than the egg breeds, or those of the gen. eral-purpose class, and lay brown shelIed eggs.

A comparison of this barn with those in use twenty or thirty years ago, and the structures found on too many American farms today, will give a good idea of the progress in barn construction and equipment. Dirty, dark, cold and drafty structures are expensive because they cut down pro- duction and increase labor cost. while the modern barns increase production and cut labor costs.
 It is economy when building to build well. That is especially true of barns that are to house live stock and their feed. Every farmer who needs a new building of this type should bear these facts in mind

structed farm building was expensive
 It proved that when dairy animals are kept in a weather-proof building the milk flow greatly increases during the cold weather. Better buildings demon strated that there were means of not only keeping the anmials more healthy and productive, but of doing the work necessary in caring for the live stock more easily and in. less time Step by step the design of barns was inn proved, until barn architecture be came so important that it attracted the attention of the architectural pro- fession. and an intensive study of the needs of the live stock and the farm owner has brought about standard, ar chitectural practices in barn design ing.
 The. modern barn, like the modern home, is built with two ideas upper
 most; comfort and conveniences-com- fort for the animals that are to live in it, and convenience for the men who care for the animals. Modern barns are constructed of good materi- als and are put up in first-class work maIalike manner; they are provided with systems of ventilation that keep the air in the stables pure, but elim- mate drafts; they are equipped with labOr-saving fixtures, such as steel staschions that do not accumulate dirt and filth, water cups that supply fresh water at the stall heads continuously litter carriers that eliminate the un- pleasant job of removing manure; feed trucks that carry the feed to the managers
 A good example of the modern dairy and horse barn is shown in the ac- companying Illustration. This barn is of about the right size to accommo- date the live stock-horses and dairy covas-that are found on the average farm in the Middle West. It is 124 feef1ong and 39 feet wide, and is di- vided into two stables, one to accom- modate nine horses and the other to house 2S cows, their calves and a bull.
