ROADSIDE FARMERS BREED
 HENS WISE TO AUTOMOBILES

BLOOMSBURG, Pa., Dec Al though the reason a chicken cross es the road never has been settled to the satisfaction of everyone, the fact that most fowls attempt to get on the other side of the high way is responsible for thousands of dollars loss to farmers in this part of the state, and many other sections.
 Automobile mortality" is one of the chief sources of loss to poul- tryen, it is declared, and two protective steps are being taken. One is the removal of the chicken pens to points far distant from the road, and the other the breeding of birds that have shown, under observation, a readiness to stay on their own side of the road when an automobile comes along.
 Tests made with nearly 100 flocks of a certain breed revealed but half dozen chickens which went across the road. With other breeds there were less than half dozen of entire flocks along the road which did not try to cross. Some of the farmers are not slow to realize the difference and are turning to those breeds which "stay put" and avoid the losses.
 On farms along main highways the losses to flocks from motor cars has been as high as 25 per cent. In some cases a single passing au- tomobile has killed four chickens.
