Giant Road Improvement
Plans for the Future

The nations road program for the
last four years should result In the
Improvement to some degree, Of about
100000 miles of highways before 1880,
according to L. II. Mcdonald, chief Of
the United States road bureau. These
figures are based On accomplishments
by national, state and local depart
nents in the past. The annual e1
penditure will average well we 81,
00O,WD0,000.
''The American Road Builders asso-
citation has given new incentive to the
building of good roads and 1t Is very
probable that reports at the 1927 con-
vention of that organization will show
much progress in actual construction"
he added. 1.-THE government encour-
agement to rodd construction Is evil
denced by the continuation Of the $751;
100000 annual appropriation for 1927
and the consideration given a bill au-
thorizing this federal aid expenditure
for 1928 and 1929"

Success in Hog Raising
Depends on MANAGEMENT

Farmers In all parts Of the country
In recent years have undertaken to
some extent the business of hog grow
ing, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. For many years
farmers, particularly In the principal
~corn-growing states, have recognized
hat hog raising Is one Of the quickest
and surest ways to market their crops
Success In this enterprise depends
in large measure upon proper manage
ment and suitable equipment, accord
ing to Farmers Bulletin 1490-F, Hog
Lot Equipment" just issued by the de-
partment.
Defective fences, say the authors.
are responsible for considerable an
noyance, disagreement among neigh
bors, damage to gardens and crops,
and often for the appearance of dis
ease. The average farm fence is more
often unsatisfactory because of faulty
construction than on account OF I'M
suitable materials. Woven wire is re-
ga~dcd by the department as the most
practical hog-tight fence. The dura-
bility of this type of fence, says the
bulletin, depends largely upon how Sc
curely the corner posts are set.
The new publication contains nu-
merous other suggestions as to
troughs, feeding floors or platforms,
self feeders, hay feeders, shades, oil
ers and dipping watts, wallows, breed
ing and shipping crates, loading
chutes, scales, record books and other
equipment. A copy Of the bulletin
may be obtained free, as long as the
supply lasts, by writing to the United
States Department of Agriculture.

Success in Incubating
Duck and Turkey EGGS

To get the best possible success in
%incubating duck and turkey eggs, Sc
cure a hygrometer. Keep 1t in the
egg chamber during the entire hatch,
the same as you do with the Their
mometer. BY examining the eggs oc-
casionally to determine the size of
the air cell you will be able to know
whether or not the moisture content
is running about the right degree. II
the eggs dry down too fast, it is an
indication that too much moisture Is
being e%vaporated from the egg con-
tent. On the other hand, IL the air
cell remains small without much Of a
detachable change such often in
licates too much moisture. A by
grometer can be purchased from most
any incubator manufactures or poul-
try supply house.

E FOR EWES
DURING WINTER

The feeding Of the flock during
the winter months depends a great
deal on the condition of the ewes at
the beginning of winter.
If the ewes are in good flesh and
in a vigorous condition, explains w.
c. Skelley, assistant animal husband
man at the New Jersey State College
Of Agriculture, l%egumiHous roughages
such as alfalfa, clover, outs and peas,
and soy bean hay, will be sufficient for
the greater part of the pregnancy pc
riod. Timothy and marsh hays should
never be fed to ewes. as they are con-
stipating and may cause losses An
other objection TO timothy hay is thai
the heads get into the wool, making
ii hard TO shear and lowering Its mar
ket price. Where corn stalks are
available they may be added to the
legume hay, as they give good results
and also cut down costs. Roots and
silage if available may be added to
the ration In moderate amounts, but
care should be taken to see that they
are not frozen, moldy, Or sour, for
they may cause abortion.
If the ewes are in poor condition
at the beginning of winter, q small
amount of grain should be added to
their ration. A good mixture is two
parts of oats, one part of corn, and
one part Of bran, fed in amounts of
about half pound to each ewe a day.
One of the problems Of the sheep
owner is TO have his ewes give enough
milk for the lamb. Frequently, when
ewes have been fed the entire winter
on roughage, they have no milk.
This difficulty can be overcome, how
ever, by light grain feeding, beginning
four to six weeks before the ewes are
due to lamb. Two parts of oats and
one part Of bran make an excellent
mixture fed at about the rate Of half
a pound to each eve a day.
Another point to keep In mind about
the ewes is to see that they get plenty
of exercise, since this insures stronger
and healthier lambs, and the ewes will
have less trouble in delivery. To get
them to take exercise a good plan is,
on bright clear days, to scatter some
Of their roughage in the field and al
low them to feed In the open. On
wet stormy days they should be kept
inside, as their fleece will get wet and
colds or pneumonia may result.

f@BUHD1FG
ENGINEERS AIDED
BY SOIL

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
knowledge of the properties, constit-
uentS, and behavior of different types
of soil has not only an agricultural
bearing but is of great Importance to
the highway engineer. Hence it often
becomes necessary for the specialists
of the bureau of soils of the United
States Department of Agriculture to
public roads in Investigations in locali-
ties having peculiar soil conditions to
throw light on problems in highway
engineering.
1t has been shown, for instance, that
the clay soils in the eastern part of
Texas and in the Piedmont region pos
sess the properties indicated by a low
ratio of silica to iron plus alumina,
and are probably the best to meet the
requirements of good highway sub
grade material. In southeastern Ohio,
again, 1t was found that hillside slip
ping Of masses of soil and subsoil ma
terial in the extensive area Of Upshur
soils of that region had completely de-
molished sections of recently laid con
crete roads. Similar destructive slid
ing connected with this type of soil
has occurred in southwestern Penn
sylvania. The program seems TO be
one that will require serious attey ton
from highway engineers. Another ex-
ample of the cooperation between soil
and road experts is the Black Waxy
belt of Texas, where, in the opinion Of
the soil expert, the black clay of the
region is lot the best material upon
which to lay hard surfacing. 1t tends
to swell and shrink according to ex-
tremes of moisture. Other available
road material is advised for use In the
subgrade.

Improved Highways Are
Big Aid to the Farmer

Much has been written regarding
the value Of good roads to the farmer.
Tax authorities have made elaborate
statements as to cost of state high
ways to the ruralist and the adj
vantages he gains in living adjacent
to good roads. But these were mostly
estimates with frail foundations and it
vas not until just recently that definite
figures could be secured to prove the
claims. And in this the newly de-
veloped roadside market appears to
be the greatest contribution.
We are told that farm produce to
the value of more than S2,116.000 Il
month Is now sold direct to motorists
from roadside booths and counters in
the rural districts of the United
States. This new market which lends
itself extremely well to the disposal
of se%cond-grade products, or fruits
and vegetables too ripe for distant
shipping, has grown to an unusual
business of $50, 100000 for the farm
ers fortunate enough to live along
popular highways. This figure, it is
stated, includes only the produce pur-
chased direct from the small truck
growers. The sale of fresh eggs, milk
and butter to urban residents who
drive TO the farm, 1t is felt, would
easily bring the figure TO approx
mately S50.O00.0O0 annually.
Indiana, it Is claimed, possesses
more miles of. improved roads than
any state in the Union. For this we
are grateful, for good roads carry
many benefits to the farmer, and when
the costs can be justly distributed, In
diana agriculture is highly in favor of
keeping up our reputation as d good
roads state.-1ndiana Farmers Guide.

Egg-Laying Period May
Be PrOfitablv PROLONGED

The fact that hens lay heavily in
March and April as a result of ma
lures urge, causes many poultrymen
to overlook giving the hens the sort
of feed and care that will prolong the
laying period. Nature has been pre-
pairing the hen for laying in the
spring, and her body has a store of
protein-the scarcest egg-making ele-
ment. But a hen that lays five eggs
a week will lay eggs in two months
to equal one-half her W weight, and
unless her feed has replaced this pro-
tein, she will lay little after May Is
or June /. To avoid the slump, feed
her heavily with rich protein feed at
this time, and she will have the neces-
sary egg elements to go right ahead
during the summer.

Reduce Accident Toll

The increasing number of accidents
to tourists at highway grade crossings
has led to the adoption Of a policy
looking TO The elimination Of such
dangerous crossings wherever practi-
cable on federal aid roads. The policy,
which has mel with the general SUP
port of the states, is that all existing
grade crossings on the federal aid
highway system shall be classified and
the impr0vc,W MS shall he carried out
as rar.;ly af practicable. The rail

Mothers for Guinea Chicks

Ordinary hens make the best moth
ers for guinea chicks. Given warm.
dry weather, and plenty of range, tur-
key and guinea hens can be used sue
cessfully, but should a rain or heavy
dew occur the mother turkey or
guinea hen is apt to drag the chicks
through the wet grass, and many are
lost from becoming wet and chilled.
Neither turkey nor guinea hens can
be induced to seek the shelter Of the
coop at night and during storms, but
will remain out In the fields to hover
their brooda.

Enormous Road Building
Helps Develop Country

One of the countless direct results
Of the great development of the auto
mobile industry is the enormous road
building program for the expenditure
OF $1,OOO,0OO,0 900 a year, to say moth
ing Of the enormous upbuilding of all
suburban communities. In many
American cities, so building records
show, suburban construction is larger
than in the urban district itself. This
development is looked upon as the di-
rect result of the automobile and
makes this invention probably the
most important factor, both from an
economic and social standpoint, in
modern life.
