What the use of building great
highway systems, at an expense of
millions and millions of dollars,
when in few short years all the
freight and passenger traffic will
be carried in the air?'
The question is always being
asked by some one, usually some
one who is unendowed with fac
ulty of thinking straight, but
sometimes by those who think,
but without data on which to go.
The next ten, or the next hun
dred years, will see enormous
strides made in aviation. Mail,
some express, some passenger traf-
tic will go via plane, and much
sport and travel will use it. But
no future development of aero
nautlcs can overcome the funda-
mental fact of nature, that to
raise a weight in the air and main
tam 1T there, requires power, and
that power is an equivalent for
value; IN our terms, money.
Therefore, no matter how desir-
able otherwise, no system of trans
portation which requires an expen-
dlture to support a weight, can
compete in cheapness with those
in which the weight is borne by
the earth.
There will always be railroads,
always be vessels on the water, al
ways be roads and road vehicles.
They will change, improve, become
more economical, more speedy,
more safe, but the earth will con-
tinue to carry the bulk of the
traffic, simply and solely because
it doesn't charge anything for
holding up the weight, whereas
nature makes us pay, and heavily,
to hold the weight up in the air,
while we transport it.
Those who build roads to-day
will not live to see the time when
their roads are not used. Those
who bond themselves for roads to-
day will never see the day when
those bonds are outstanding
against disused highways. The air
ways will be increasir oily used
but not for freight!

BREEDING OF PULLETS
Authority on Poultry Cues
tons Use of Pullets for
General Breeding Purposes

throughout the United States
IN 1923, the Matching results of
pullets were very poor, and it
leads to a question of whether
they should be used as first year
breeders. There are doubtless a
number of contributing causes,
and, according to DIR. M. A. JUL,
IN charge nof poultry investiga-
lions of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, one of the
causes of poor matches has been
the use from year to year of pull
letas as breeders.
In a general sense it is apparent
that the hatchability of eggs de-
ponds upon the constitutional vi
gor of the breeding stock produc-
ing the eggs. If the breeders are
healthy and vigorous and are kept
IN comfortable quarters, then the
eggs should hatch we'll, providing
the methods of incubation have
been satisfactory. Taking the
country as whole, however, Doc
tor JUL believes that the Matching
results from one season to an
other are not as good as might be
expected.
The use of pullets as breeders
may affect this situation in the
following manner: The practice
of using pullets as breeders fire.
quently leads to the use of imma-
ture birds. In this way Matching
results are effected because the
young pullets do not seem to have
the abundance of constitutional
vigor possessed by older birds.
Moreover, all birds as pullets us
ually lay smaller egg than as
yearlings. Since the size of chick
Matched depends to a considerable
extern upon the size of the egg
producing the chick, it is obvious
that, as a rule, larger chicks are
produced from the eggs of year
lings. Then again it has been a
matter of common observation
among poultrymen that the chicks
from yearlings are usually strong
er and grow better than the chicks
from pullets.
Another very important matter
to which poultrymen should give
more attention is the influence of
forced feeding on hatchability.
Many focks of pullets are fed
heavily throughout the fall and
winter to induce heavy egg pro-
duction, and then in the hatch
ing season the eggs from these
pullets are used for incubation
purposes. This Is a questionable
practice, says Doctor JUL, since
heavy egg production is a heavy
strain upon the stamina of the
hen and the eggs from birds that
have been fed heavily are very
apt to be slow in Matching quality.
Finally, it would see that all fac
tors point to the ACCESSIBILITY of
the use of yearling birds as breed
ers rather than pullets.

Before cutting a tree a beaver
usually paused and appeared to
look at It's surroundings as if
choosing a place to squat or sit
while cutting it down, but so far
as | could tell, he gave no thought
as to the direction in which the
tree was going to fall. This is
true of every beaver which I have
seen begin cutting, and have
seen scores. But beavers have in
dividuality, and occasionally NAV
be, therefore that some beavers
try to fell trees on a particular
place.
I'm fact, l remember having
seen in two localities, stumps
which suggested that the beaver
who cut down the trees had plan
ned on just how they were to fall
In the first locality, | could Judge
only from the record left by the
stumps; but the quarter on which
the main notch had been made, to-
gether with the fact that the
notch had in two instances been
made IN quarter of the tree
where it was convenient for the
cutter to work, seemed to indicate
a plan to fell the tree in a par
tlcular direction. | knew the at
tltude of the trees before they
were cut, and in this instance the
evidence was so complete and con-
elusive that | must believe that
the beaver that cut down these
trees endeavored to get them to
fall in definite direction. IN each
of these cases, however, Judging
chiefly from the teeth-marks,
think the cuttings were done by
the same beaver. Many ohserva-
tions induce me to believe how
ever, that the majority of beavers
do not plan how the trees are to
fall.
Once a large tree is on the
ground, the limbs are trimmed off
and the trunk is cut into sections
sufficiently small to be dragged
rolled or pushed to- the water
where transportation is easy"
G. l.. Harrington, Of the state
conservation commission, says that
some of the beaver houses built in
Ashland and Bayfield, counties are
among the most unique in struc-
ture to be known, and that some
of them we're distinct specimens
| of engineering art.
