FOWLS FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Old Hens May Return Profit, but
Younger Ones Will Give More
Pullets Preferred.

Some folks have the right kind of
fowls, house and feed them properly,
and still don't get eggs early in the
winter because their hens are too old.
1t seldom pays 20 keep hens for lay
ing after they are two and one-half
years old. They may give a profit.
but younger fowls will give more.
Many poultrymen who make a spe-
cialty of winter-egg production keep
only pulIets, disposing of even the
yearling hens, before it is time TO put
them in winter quarters.
Early Matched pullets, if properly
grown, ought to begin laying in Octo-
Der or early November, and continue
to lay right through the winter.
Yearling hens seldom begin laying
much before January l, and older hens
not until later. 1t is the November
and December eggs that bring the high
prices. The laying breeds should be-
gin laying when from five TO six
months old. general-purpose breeds at
six to seven, and the meat breeds at
seven or eight months.

BEEF CATTLE BENEFIT FARM
Make Possible Greater Use of Rough
age More Efficiently Than Any
other Animals.

The use of beef cattle in connection
with general farming throughout the
corn belt, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, offers the
following advantages:
It is possible to make greater use Of
dry roughages produced on the farm
as beef cattle consume larger quanti-
ties of these feeds than any other
classes of stock.
Beef cattle can be used profitably
on rough land unsuitable for crop pro-
duction, also on low, wet land I'M
suitable for either crops or for other
classes of live stock.
Beef cattle use the total production
of grain and rOugkages on the average
farm. without the purchase of other
feeds, more efficiently than any other
class of live stock.
Beef cattle ON the farm favor a
well-balanced distribution of labor
throughout the year. They require
very little attention during the sum-
mer and fall, when crops need atten-
ton, and during winter and early
spring, when there is little field work
to be done, farmers can utilize their
time TO advantage by caring for the
breeding herd. wintering the stockers
and feeders, or fattening some steers.

COST OF HIGHWAY VEHICLES
Government to Determine Expense of
Operating Surplus War Road
Building Material.

What 1t costs the government to OPP
crate motor vehicles engaged in road
building is shortly to be determined
through a system of operative records
recently installed by the bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Out of the surplus war material
turned over to the War department for
distribution among the states, the bu-
reau has retained a large number of
motor vehicles, which are used prin-
cipally on forest road work in the
West. These motor vehicles are kept
at various central points where shops
are maintained for repair work.
Complete records will be kept of all
oil, gasoline and supplies of every
Kind used by each vehicle Even the
number Of tube patches will be kept.
Record viii also be kept of the num-
her of hours OF shop work required;
of days idle, and why; of distances
loads are carried and the character of
the loads; and the gross income from
the operation of the vehicles. The In
formation thus obtained will be COM
bined with similar information from
some of the states operating the sur
plus war equipment turned over to
them, and will form valuable addi-
ton to the knowledge of the cost of
highway transport

lee, and the conservation of this
moisture. Here cultivation was pos
sible within four feet of the trunks of
the trees, so that the increased yield
of the field, amounting to about four
teen bushels an acre at the highest
point, was practically clear gain.
The total gain for the whole field
amounted to the yield of a strip of
ground as long as the windbreak, and
three times as wide as its height. Or,
had the windbreak which was 20 feet
high, occupied a strip of ground 60
feet wide, the gain in the field crop
would have paid the rental on all this
ground.
Extent of Tree Belt.
The corn crop showed more consist
ent and marked benefits from protec-
ton than any others In the region
concerned the summer winds are al
most wholly from the south, so that
the only effective rows and belts ex-
tended in an east-west direction. The
effect on corn was very marked for.
short distance on the south side of
such windbreaks, and for a much
greater distance on the north side.
The effect was visible early in the
season, which was rather cool. Height
measurements on one field showed the
plants to be Az feet high in the first
IS rows next to the windbreak, while
beyond this protected zone the height
was only 21a feet. This luxuriant
growth was still in evidence at the
end of the season. and not only pro-
duced more fodder, but bigger and
heavier ears. The field showed a pro-
duction of SO bushels to the acre in
the protected part, and only Al bush
els in the exposed area. The net gain,
including the area shaded by the trees,
was equivalent to the yield of a strip
twice as wide as the height of the
trees. which were SO feet high. The
increased yield paid, then, for a strip
76 feet wide. The windbreak hap
pened to be wider than this, but need
not have been to afford the same
amount of protection.
With ordinary field crops the farmer
may come on q benefit from wind
break protection which will compen-
safe for the loss of the area used by
the trees. Under Middle West condi-
tions-Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Da-
kotas. Nebraska and Kansas-a wind
break whose width does not exceed
two or three times it's height will
more than pay for itself, regardless of
the timber it may produce.

FIND USE FOR WAR BRIDGES
Steel Structures Made for Duty In
France Now Being Placed in
National Forests.

Sectional steel bridges, easily ham
died and ready for instant use, which
were constructed during the war for
use in France, have been turned over
by the War department to the bureau
of public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and now are find
ing profitable peace-time duty on road
ways in the national forests, where
they are used to span streams in con-
nection with roads built by the bu-
reau in forest areas.
The sections were built in two sizes,
one II feet ~ inches long. intended
for the ends of the bridge; the other
II feet 3 inches long and designed for
intermediate sections. By combining
the two kinds. bridges varying from
80 to 81 feet long can be built. The
height of the trusses is 5 feet IL
inches and the bridges when erected
have a roadway IL feet wide.
Along with the bridges there have
been turned over to the department

should be square, for, other things be-
ing equal, the nearer square a house
is the less lumber it will take.
The size of the building required
will depend largely on the number of
fowls to be kept and on the size of
the fiocks. From % TO 100 seems to
be about as many as is safe and eco
nomicaI to keep together. With flOcks
of this size, about four square feet of
floor space should be allotted to each
bird, which will suffice in most cases
where careful attention is given TO
cleanliness and ventilation. Three to
three and One-half square feet is
enough for Leghorns in large flocks.
If the fowls are kept in smaller fiocks
a little more floor space per bird will
be needed. Where the climate is so
mild that it is unnecessary to keep the
fowls confined, exce<t for a few days
at time, and especially if the fowls
are kept in small colony houses, less
space per bird will be sufficient The
smaller breeds. being more active and
restless, require about as much room
as the larger breeds.

Whether the total effect of wind
break is good or bad depends upon
whether the benefits derived from its
influence are greater or less than the
injury resulting from the sapping and
shading of the ground nearby. Some
crops do better than others when
shaded. Seeding crops. such as tim
othy and alfalfa, are least affected.
Grains which develop early in the
spring, such as oats and wheat, are
most affected, and corn takes an in
termediate position.
WIndbreak Sometimes Injurious.
The old argument that a windbreak
uses more ground than it is worth con-
tinues to bob up occasionally, support
ed mostly by farmers who have not
investigated carefully 1t is admitted,
frankly, that the effect of windbreak
is not beneficial in every respect, and
that there are ways in which it is
quite plainly injurious. Every farmer
knows that trees spread their roots
extensively to fields seeking moisture;
and they take not only the moisture;
but some of the nitrogen content of
the soil also. But this does not dis
pose of the question of having or not
having q windbreak.
To determine the total effect, crop
measurements were made by forestry
experts in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and
Minnesota. Average, rather than ex-
ceptfonal. conditions were used, the
object being to discover the effect of
those influences which are continuous,
and affect every annual crop grown.
These measurements convinced spe-
cialists of the forest service of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture that the crop gain in fields of
small grain, in the protected zone, Is
sufficient to offset fully the effects of
shading and sapping.
In a wheat field protected by dense
windbreak the gain amounted to about
ten bushels an acre where the pro-
lection was most complete, and grad
ualIy became less as the distance from
the windbreak increased. The total
gain was about equal to the amount
of grain that could have been grown
on the shaded ground near the trees.
The season in which the measure
ments were taken was not one of high
winds nor did it lack moisture.
In another instance, on the south or
an ash and honey locust windbreak,
the crop benefited very materially
from the accumulation Of snow In the
