And through all those ages of centu
ries the r< .. !« have scarce felt the touch
of repair. In fact, most of them have
ne%er la-en repaired during 2.« M» year»
of existence simply because they bavt
uever needed repair.
"When the Komaus built their splen
did militar* roads, they built them on
• sort of self rei-ainutr' principle—that
Is. they I t tb. ni narrow enough to
compel trat' . to wear them down even
ly; for the—w hat seems to us moderns
narrowness of the old Koman roads
has often l>eeu a matter of remark.
The real object of this narrowness 1
have uever yet seen stated In any ex
position on road engineering othet
than the Id. a being advanced of econ
omy and rapidity of construction. But
1 learned the real motive during trav
els in Italy in 1991-2.
"We all know that a wide road is
only too liable to be worn into ruts. The
wider it i« the more ruts it will de
grade luto unless sharply looked after.
1 have seen some natural made roads
In Siberia a , arter of a mile wide, but
such a collection of ruts! On ttie other
hand, during tra\els in the Mexican re
public 1 lih\« sun narrow—say 12 feet
—natural made roads running through
& marshy country almost as hard and
compact and smooth as some of the as
phalted streets of New York, I'arls or
Berlin. These roads in Mexico to which
1 refer bad ou either side of them the
quick mud country. In popular lan
guage this country is termed 'quick
sands;' but, like a good many other
things popular, this Is crroueous. The
earth Is literally a quick mud, a tena
cious clay, and sticks like glue to the
clothing if you happen to sink a foot
into It, as did the writer. Among rail
road engineers this quick mud is
known as "gypsum,' and to handle the
treacherous ground properly has been
a problem In track constructiou. So In
Mexico the traffic, being forced to con
llue Itself In the quick mud country to
h 12 foot gauge, has in the course of
years hammered out a track as hard as
a lim class French highway.
"Now. the Homans built their 2,000
year lasting highways purposely nar
row eo that the roads should be 'self
repairing,' 'self mending,' or 'self wear
ing even,' or what expression you like
to apply to a road which automatical
ly, so to speak, keeps Itself iu good
order for a couple of mllleuulums.
Since the old Homans never extended
their conquests to America, we are not
possessed of any remains of their
roads, but the traveler In most parts
of Europe will Bee them. You will
even find them as far north as old
Scotia—since the republic extended Its
conquest even unto Caledonia. A sec
tional view of a Roman road shows
that the successive layers of material
used In their construction consisted of,
tirst, loose stones, feet thick; next,
stones and lime, three-fourths of a foot
thick; then cemented brick and tile
debris, one-half foot thick; the whole
topped by basalt blocks one foot thick.
The Roman road is not a French road,
nor a metal road, oor one of Macad
am's, but, so far as the surface is con
cerned. a substantial solid stone or
rock wearing surface, made thicker
and rendered more permanent than
even the thickest tlagstone sidewalks
In Europe or America ever were.
"The loose stone underlayers render
ed drainage excellent. Can it be won
dered at that these ancient Roman
highways are still today almost as per
fect as two millenniums ago? Just
think of It—hundreds of mlies are still
In good order, without having, as be
fore slated, felt the touch of repair!
"He may follow one of these rock
stone highways till It suddenly 'runs to j
seed' in a cornfield or smiling vine val- i
ley. Lie may lie Informed tliat If he
likes to trudge across live or six miles
of cross country land under cultivation
he will pick up the stone highway
again The interregnum space of road
has been torn up—nobody knows when
—for the construction of forts or
houses Even the peasants used to
tear up the roads for the sake of the
flagstones when they wanted materials
for their houses or mills. But all that
was stopped long ago. In a few places
the torn up gaps have been replaced
with metal roads, which have required
more looking after and repairs In two
years than Lave the old roads of the
republic In 2,<io<».
"By metal road. It may be necessary
to explain, is not meant a road of any j
metallurgical properties or coverings,

* AUTOMATIC FOUNTAIN.
A Sore Method «>f Giving Fowls
t roll Unirr AH the Time.
The accompanying illustrations rep
resent an automatic drinking fountain
designed to be connected with a sup
ply of water. Either tank or city wa
ter pressure will do.
Those I use in uiy yard in the sum
mer are of the following proportions,
although they may IK* made In any
length desired, provided they are set
perfectly level: Ten inches wide, 0 inch
es deep, 30 inches iu length. Make the
body of the tank out of 1 by 0 Inch
Muff and have it lined with galvanized
I.on.
The cover is also made of galvanized
Iron formed into a half circle. This

cover answers several purposes. It
covers the entire top of the tank, all
but one inch, the full length of the
fountain. This prevents leaves, straw
and other accumulation from blowing
Into the water, yet gives the fowls
plenty of room to drink without up
setting or polluting the water. It also
guards young chicks from drowning,
as they cannot possibly get into the
water.
The fountain Is to be placed four aud
a half inches in the ground and set per
fectly level. This w ill leave it out of
the ground one and a half Inches,
which will prevent any dirt, etc., as in
case of a heavy rain, washing Into it,
as would be the case If it set level with
the surface. It also keeps the water
perfectly cool and fresh.
As the name Indicates, this fountain
Is perfectly automatic, requiring no
filling the entire season. The auto
matic fittings may be procured at any
plumbing establishment, as it is the
same as is used In all flush water closet
tanks.
Fasten the automatic feeder at or
near one end of the fount so as to give
the rod and hollow copper ball plenty
of freedom so that it will not catch the
sides or end. Connect the feed pipe
(one-half Inch will answer) with your
supply and the fountain is ready for
use.
As the water enters the fountain the
copper ball float rides on the surface,
raising the water, and In so doing is
gradually closing the shut off valve,
and when level full it is entirely closed.
As the fowls drink the water it lowers
the copper float, thereby opening the
valve, and admits Just enough water to
hold the fountain level full.
If In any case you wish to clean out
the fountain It may be done inside of
•ne minute by simply pressing the cop-

per ball float to the bottom. This opens
the valve to Its full capacity and over
flows the fountain, thereby carrying off
any dirt that may have accumulated
on the bottom.
I have used this drinking fountain
for two seasons, and would not give it
up for anything I have ever seen on the
market.—F. H. Soothill in Poultry

Stock has greatly improved In the
pa .it live years, lmt egn production has
not. W hen potiltrymcti devote more
time trying to liud out which way and
how is the best to feed, then they will
increase the egg production. Because
John Jones tills you that his way of
feeding is the liest that Is no reason
why you should adopt it until you
know it to he a fact. Because Sam
Jones tells you that one variety of
chickens will lay more than tin* others
don't sell what you have and get them
until you know it is so. I'oulirymen
are too ready to listen to the other
fellow.
My method of obtaining and holding
great layers is as follows, no matter
what the variety kept:
As soon as the pullets are fully ma
tured tliey are carefully watched. As
soon as one starts to lay she is removed
to her permanent quarters, punch
marked, a record liuug up, date of
hatch, pen hatched from. etc. This
goes on until pens are full. Those
that are backward in start lug are put
In a different building, we counting
them as culls. The pullets and records
are carefully watched. We do not
breed from these as pullets, but will
breed from the cream of them as year- i
lings. They are now yearlings, and wo
start to hatch. Each egg is marked |
with pen number. When put In incu
bators, same Is set down in a ledger
for that purpose, also giving the mini- j
her of male bird and what pen he was
hatched from. When the eggs are due
to hatch, they are putin pedigreed egg
trays. This keeps each pen of chicks
separate. They are then punch marked
and placed in -brooders, which are
grouped In colonies, separated with !
line mesh wire, so that the chicks can
not get mixed. The cockerels are re
moved as soon as possible and fattened
for market. We pick out a few, those
that we think will make extra good
ones, and then turn them on free range.
Soon the pullets are removed, each lot
to a separate house and yard, and then
we wait for the first eggs.
You must start your feeding for ;
heavy laying soon after the chick is J
hatched. This part of poultry keeping
is entirely too much neglected. I be
lieve more damage is done by letting
the cockerels remain with the pullets
while growing than from any other
cause. It will put them back two
months In their laying, and they will
never make as good birds. It certain
ly stunts them. A pullet must be in
the best of condition If you expect her
to be a heavy layer, and you must keep
her that way if you want her to keep
on laying. My experience teaches me
that we must have large framed birds,
atid to get that kind you must start
feeding as a little chick. You can put
on flesh any time, but there is only one
time to form large bones, and that is
on the start.—C. A. Durling.

FOQ(1 For I.ate Chlckn.
With chicks hatched in May the same
treatment as is given the early broods
will suffice. With June and July chicks,
however, this will not do. While, in
my opinion, it Is never advisable to
give soft food to youngsters intended
ultimately for breeders, It is little less
than murder to feed It to late chicks.
It is well enough to say it can be fed
In troughs and that the troughs can
be cleaned out, but it has been my ex
perience that no matter how careful
one may naturally be this important
duty is often neglected. I-'or that rea
son, therefore, if for no other, the late
chicks should have nothing but dry
food. Treat M. Bight In Poultry

A Model.
Mr Jones came Home at an unseemly
hour the other night and was spfprlßea
to see Mrs. Jones sitting up for btm
below stnlrs, with no other light than
that of the gas lamp, which faced the
door, to keep her company.
"M M Marie," he said huskily, "y-you
shouldn't sit up s'late when I'm out on
business."
As Mrs. Jones did not answer him, he
continued in an alarmed voices
"Bhorry, nt'dear, but It's last time— j
tell you I'm sorry—won't shpeak to
me?"
At this moment Mrs. Jones called
from above stairs:
"Mr. Jones, who are you talking to
at this hour of the night?"
"Thash what I'd like to know
m-m myself," stammered Jones.
Mrs. Jones hastened down stairs, |
lamp in hand. When she saw the sit

very angry.

ICE CREAM RECIPE.
Oow to Thin \lw«>» Wdroat
and DelleiouN Sweet.
Ice ereutn may always be bought,
but the process of making It is really
so simple and the cost so much less
that the ice cream freezer should be
come an established household Institu
tion. This recipe if carefully followed
is sure to give satisfaction: Separate
four eggs and heat the yolks with one
cupful of sugar and a small pinch of
s.nlr till quite stiff, nud pour slowly over
tlM'in two eupfuls of hot milk. Now
pur thin mixture in the double boiler
and cook until it begins to coat the
spoon. ITave the whites of the eggs
beaten thoroughly and add to them the
lluvoring of whatever kind you wish
and add to the milk and eggs, which
you have removed from the fire.
The next thing is to beat the whole
mixture steadily until it is cold, when
tine-half pint of cream well whipped
goes in.and the freezing may begin.
This cream may lie varied by the addi
tion of chopped almonds browned In
caramel sugar, about one cupful of the
nlinonds being the right proportion. It
may be turned into coffee ice cream by
omitting the almonds and adding one
half cupful of strong coffee just before
freezing, or, again, a little sherry, va
nilla and almond may be used for fla
voring. and some dry nud pounded
macaroons may be added before freez
ing.
If maple sugar melted and hot Is
used in place of the sugar in the recipe
and cooked in with the milk, the cream
becomes maple ice cream. In this case,
after the Heeling, the cream should bo
covered with browned and chopped
almonds.
Ilow to Sl«»w Onions.
Select the medium sized silver onions,
peel off the outer skin, let them lie in
cold water half an hour and drain, cov
er with 1 toiling water, add a teaspoou
ful of salt and boll, uncovered, for ten
minutes. Itrain off this water, cover
with fresh, boiling water, add salt and
boil ten minutes longer, then change
the water again and boll until the on
ions are tender. They should be white
os snow. Do not boil too hard or cover
the saucepan or the onions will be
strong and dark colored. Make a cream
sauce and pour over the onious after
carefully draining them.
lion to Whip C'reitm.
Whipped cream is nn Indispensable
with the chocolate p t. A little sugar
may be boiled in with the chocolate,
but the cream should be added in the
cups. Take the best of sweet cream
and stir Into It a little milk in which a
teaspoonful of gelatin lias been dis
solved. The milk is slightly heated to
allow the gelatin to melt ami then al
lowed to cool. When partly cold, but
before it has time to set, tlie milk is
stirred into the cream, with the result
that the cream is stiffened with the
gelatin. The whole is now beaten Into
the lightest foam.

How to Trpat I.lnolenm.
A point to remember in connection
with cleaning is that when linoleum is
used as a floor covering scrubbing
should rarely be Indulged In. When
dampness nets underneath the linole
um, the way lias been found for Its
speedy rotting. If well swept, wiped
over with a merely moist cloth to re
move nil stains and polished every
once in awhile with turpentine and
beeswax, good linoleum has no wear
out to it, and, furthermore, It looks
well as long us It lasts. It is a good
plan to wipe It over with milk and wa
ter or with linseed oil once every week
or so.
