NOVEL ROAD BUILDING PLAN
to Endure Is to Be De-
stroyed Rapidly.

A road about a quarter Of a mile
long, built as enduringly as possible,
to be destroyed as quickly as possible,
Is the odd but practical basis of an
experiment now being conducted at
P~ittsburg, Cal, says the Christian
Science Monitor. The road Is laid
down In the shape of a race track and
is constructed of Is sections. each n
Of a different type OF concrete pave
ment. The problem is 10 find u
which will last longest. A procession
Of some 40 motor trucks, loaned by the
United States government. travels con-
tlnuously over its surface. There are
tunnels underneath and bitches along
the sides from which observations of
the effect Of traffic on the different
sections are being made. Sections that
wear out first are to be restored and
kept In repair until the stoutest sec
ton, whichever IL may prove to be. has
been destroyed. The cost of building
and wearing out the road, which Is be
ing betrayed In part by contributions
Of men, machinery and material by the
road building interests, probably will
run into hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars. II Is hoped, however, that the
practical information thus obtained
will more than Offset Its cost.

MAKE MONEY RAISING GEESE
Success Can Be Had With Small Mum
bers Where There Is Low Pas
ture and Water.

The Toulouse and Emden are the
most popular breeds Of geese In this
country. The Toulouse Is the largest
breed, the adult gander and geese
Weighing % and 20 pounds, respective
ly, while the standard weights of the
Emden are 20 and IS pounds.
Geese can be raised In small num-
many farms where there Is low, rough
pasture land containing a natural sup
ply of water. The market for geese
is not so general as for chickens, but
the demand and prices are especially
good in sections where goose fattening
is conducted.
Geese need only a house during cold
or stormy weather, when an open shed
should be provided. One gander Is
mated with from one to three geese,
and the matings are not changed from
year to year unless they prove I'M
satisfactory. When mated, they are
allowed to run together In flocks. Tou-
louise and Emden geese will breed
when ahout two years old. The fe-
males are usually kept until they are
from twelve to fourteen years old, or
as long as they lay well. Sex is diff
cult to distinguish, especially In young
geese. The gander is usually some
what larger and coarser than the
goose, and has a leaner, longer neck
and a larger head. The sex Is some
times determined by a critical exam
ination or by the action of the geese
at mating time.
Large boxes. barrels or shelters are
provided as nests for geese, or they
are allowed to make nests on the floor
of the house. The eggs should be col
lected daily and kept in a cool place.
First eggs are usually set under hens
while the last mes which the goose
lays may be Matched either under hens
or under the goose II she "goes
broody." II the eggs are not removed
from the nest where the goose Is lay
ing, she will usually stop laying %

Jack BROWN, PURvEYOR
OF CHECKS, GOING YET

No complaint having been sworn
out-at least so the officers say
Jack Brown, bogus check purgeyor,
is still going and nobody after him,
so far as known. He knows the
ways of the country and II is not
doubted that he will be able to travel
quite a distance before he is appre-
hended, If ever that should come to
pass.
The sheriff's office is saying moth
ing about Brown one way or another,
not admitting that it Is after him.
This silence may be ominous, for 1t
might turn out to be hot In pursuit
and all but ready to grab him and
bring him back to home and justice.
IL in his travels, which were started
to put the most miles possible be-
tween him and Ely, Brown should
happen to become apprised of a loca-
ton with a restricted district needing
the services of a talented messenger,
it is regarded as among the possibili-
ties that he might reason 1t out hat
the wicked feeth when no man pur-
sueth and impel him TO settle down
not so far away after all, in which
event he might be dropped onto and
forcibly induced TO return.
From the list of contributors TO

fund of the erstwhile Ely messenger

name expunged. He says he is not

comings to which flesh is heir that is

INDIVIDUALITY OF Her OWN
Different Breeds of Chickens Have
characteristics-Many Do Not
Study Their Fowls.

Each hen has an individuality and
her own notions and customs. That
different breeds have different charac-
teristics. We all know, but many do
not study their flock or do nor on
slider 1t necessary to do SO.
Some one suggests that hens which
are talked to and made much of will.
In turn, be good layers. There Is a
measure of truth In this; certainly
fowls treated with kindness will do
better work than those which are
never timed and are frightened at the
approach of any one. But don't get
the idea that kindness Will produce
eggs. A hen possessing no laying
strain worthy of mention will never
repay ones affection by eggs II there
are no eggs bred In her.
Secure the breed and strain, add to
this a study OF the flock, and TO this
companionship and care. and the re
suits will be satisfactory.
