If the horses and other lire stock were able to talk, what a taio of Buffering they would telll Wading knee deep in mud, climbing steep hills and jumping bridges nearly ready to coiiapse nave been the necessities of going to town for every farm horse once upon a time during his life. For every roaa has experienced its evil days, no matter how well it may now oe improved. Who suffers? The hone uffers personal injury; the farmer ana other industries only suffer finan cially. aa roaas stagnate business. Thev Injure the social and educational life of the farm. They spoil the pleasure of people living in smaller towns who often wish to ride Into the country and visit ineir rural friends. And, further more, baa roaas are expensive. The cost of road transDortatlon is tndnv BAB BOA OS A KB EIPKNSXVK. just three times as great as it would be If we had good roads all over the Unit ed States. The average life of the farm horse is shortened several years by the bad roads; live stock in general Is less ened in flesli and longevity by having to travel over miry and rut covered, roads. When the farmer of today drives his fattened bogs to market over a country road be expects them to lose a great many pounds of flesh in making the trip. If the roads were smooth and hardened by macadam the loss would be curtailed and bis net profit that much more. The average speed along a country road today is five to six miles an hour with a farm wagon. With a good team of horses it is possible to drive fifteen and even twenty miles an hour. There are communities in' Illinois Where tbe roads are so winding and cut up by ruts that a lightly loaded buggy drawn by two good farm horses cannot reach over an eight mile gait Hill climbing, as all horse owners know, Is hard on the animal. It re duces the flesh very quickly, ine reads of the country should be In such condition as to do away with all steep Inclines. The life of the horse might be extended br several years and the cost of his feed would also be lessened In the Improvement and alignment of these defects. The farmers of this country are los ers by the bad road evil at least $100 per capita per annum. By combining their losaea and Discing them at the disposal of expert road builders wlth lB tea years the roads would be In such a state of travel as to prevent the loaa. every cent of It .Thla system of economics Is beginning to dawn npon k. r.rmam and throUEb the state wx- ' . 7 ..J 4 u.tn, hwi am nams eweu w WMtmvw - miT the country road system.

Nowhere Is this movement for good roads more remarkable, according to the Manufacturers' Record, than In the south country. This begins In the re gion south of the Potomac with the projection and construction of lnterur- ban trolley lines. The trolley lines, now amounting to thousands of miles In the total, are followed by the deter mination to make 'the roads suitable for travel at all seasons of the year, Nothing can be told old soldiers of the nature of Virginia roads in winter. They simply re more famous or lnfa mous, as the case may be, than other roads because so much more of history has been acted over them. But every where throughout the south, as the Record shows, there are a general awak ening and a universal demand for In- terurban railways and with that a like demand for the highways with the hard surfacer-in other wordsfor the good road that is always ready for business and Is Invaluable for every country that builds It ROAD REPAIRING. Bow to Keep a Hla-hway i Coadltloa. . In a paper read recently before a farmers' Institute Charles Williams of I Connersvllle, Ind., gave the following Interesting points on road repairing: 'Now, some points on how to keep roads In good condition and bow to re pair them. A road must have constant attention If it is to be of any use or value. 'Whenever a rut forms it should be repaired at once. The rood should be graded In the spring and graveled in C2MHFBOVBD BOAS. the fall. The load will then be bard And smooth and the gravel will be packed down, but not worn out, before bad weather sets In. It depends on what shape the crown of the road Is In what the condition of the road will bet for travel through the winter. If the crown Is In good shape it wilt shed the water to the side ditches,' and If they are in good shnpo the road will remain dry and solid. Now, I will tell a few ways to spoil a good road: The surest way is to use the roaa grader and pile all the mud, sod and weeds from the sides ana ditches into the center of the road. . This makes the road soft and muddy, and it will be Impossible for the next cost of gravel to unite with the old roadbed. The re sult Is the road will be spongy The best Dlan Is to scrape It up Into- piles and haul it to some gully, of which all roads have a few, and dump It there. "The road grader Is a good road builder in the hands of a man that knows bow to use It but otherwise he will do a great deal of damage. "Another wsy to spoil a roaa is to make tho crown so steep that all the travel will take the center. .The result is the road Is worn out in the center and no use has been made of the re mainder of the road. The center Is cat up by. three gulleys, which bold water and cause tba road to be soft and mud dy when It would otherwise be In good shape." Tha ProoUeat M freed Boada. In his address before the national good roads convention President Roose velt made some good point. Among other thlnas be said: "It Is the habit of road building that give to a people permanent greatness. "The development of the Iron read has been all that one could wish, bat It la mere presumption to consider good railways as substitute for good high way..

On tho other band, some have the Idea that most any old thing will do for chickens . and . never prepare for them; consequently they never receive anything in return. It would be very difficult to give a definite plan for a poultry house that weald suit all poui trymen and circumstances, aa advan tages and disadvantages of locations would necessarily call for a variation of plana, But the houses most gener ally need among the average class of poultrymen Is the, single and double colony plan. We have the double colo ny and single colony, and to aay which la best Is utterly Impossible, as both are good. For the double colony house we make them 10 by 86 feet, with a fourteen foot scratching shed In the center, which gives us a 10 by 11 foot house on each end. Roost poles are . placed In the east end, and nests, grit and charcoal boxes are placed In the west end. We say east and west end because we al ways have our housea facing the south. The studding in rear of building la eight feet, and the front at adding la twelve feet Thla bouse can be built for 20, all finished up In good shape. The single colony plan la Just the same, only cutting off laying room on west end. The single colony we use principally for young stock In the fall Those houses will be found the cheap est of any nouses built and are dura ble. Fifty hens can be wintered In them with satisfactory results. We never, place more than fifty bens in them unless It la for a short time; then we sometimes place 100 hens or more In them, but for winter quarter fifty hens are enough.,, The roost, poles la these houses are placed about thirty Inches above the floor. O. Clipp In Poultry Keeper. ; w ' PMltry lteaBMkvw We used to think that we could raise young turkeys better when we hatched them under good old motherly, bene than when we put them under the ben turkey. Now the Maine Farmer come out with the opinion of a poultry ex pert who say better and larger chick ens can be raised by letting the turkey hen hatch them out and care for them. Perhaps both were right, for w think the old turkey often gives -the young one too much travel, end perhaps the hen does not give the chickens enough when they are forced to get their living on an open range. Domestication ana breeding have reduced the propensity If not the ability of the ben for travel and catching Insect, especially If she and her parent were reared In limited yards, while the turkey is many gen erations aearer the wild condition and Ukee to roam ever many acre or. In fact; win not endure confinement at all only Ifit tL -eBctihTirhlJC fattening, and thea not toaeajars It thus may be that Chlekena with the turkey would range farther and forage more than with the ben, thus growing more rapidly. But wo still adhere to our eld position, that we can grow chick caa better and faster In yard that are kept under proper sanitary condition than they will grow f allowed to run at urge with either their mother. or the turkey hen.

GOOD ROADS NEEDED. ta.jraa.lele to Have Settee Ooaatry Jki koala Wltkoat Tkoaa. : There Is a close and permanent rela tion existing between good public roads and good public schools, said the state superintendent of education for Al beina before the ' Montgomery good roads convention. There can be no good country schools in -th absence of good country roads. A school may be perfectly equipped nn to building, fur Dishing, and trained teacher, and at th same tlm. prove a failure on ac count of a lack of accessibility. Access ibility depend upon tb kind and con dition of the public roads. What Is th encouragement to erect good school building, along impassable highway? W do pot even build good realdencee la such : place.. Business establish ments and.. Industrial . enterprise do not flourish there.

Every civilised country la measured by It road aa much aa it la by Ita Industries In the estimate that man place upon It value." It I poeel bl to bare good mad. without good schools, but It Is absolutely Impossible to have the beat schools without good roads.
