For several years oil has been used In southern California to lay the dust in the streets in summer and on the roads in the eoantry. There oil hns long ago ceased to be an experiment as a dust layer, and the people say It Is a splendid roadmaker. When the oil first touched the dust covered street. It spread out among the tiny atoms pretty much as does a drop of oil pre cipitated to tlie surface o f water In a bucket When a quantity o f oil has been spread and the surface o f the street Is covered, the oil gravitates down through the dust and dirt and solidifies or cakes the entire surface o f the street. The sun dries out and hard ens tho surface, and a splendid road Is the result, almost as hard aa asphalt, snd with all the dust and dirt Impris oned under the hard upper crust made by the hardening o f the oil soaked top dirt and dust The tendency o f moat roadmaken la to dig up the whole right of way be cause It belongs to the townablp. going from hedge to hedge, plowing and scraping and disturbing the settled condition of the soil, tbua losing an nually vast quantities o f vnluuhle ma terial for road construction, which, being constantly washed out, eventual ly brings the road to a lower level than the surrounding lands, making it a canal Instead of a roadway and forc ing all water from the surrounding lands Into th* canal and od to the road. : T lie H e a r t o f th e W o o d s .

It is built be side the docks, and is intended to house the imports of tobacco which form so important a part of Liver pool’s trade. The warehouse is 7251/4 feet in length, 165 feet wide and 124 feet 10 inches high. The grou n d area ia 13,300 Square yards and the area of the several floors 174,098 square yards. There are at present in bond in Liverpool some 93,000 hogsheads of tobacco, weigh ing 50,000 tons, which is equal, roughlv estimated, to a custom duty of £ 1 S'OOO.OOO. Toiler, banst thou trust?

Broiler mlalug as au exclusive busi ness la practically a failure. The amount o f risk lu buying eggs for hatching, the variety o f atock hatched and the varied condition of auch stock hatched has given too much risk to broiler raising us an exclusIM affair. Hut combine the broiler business with that o f raising eggs for market, and you have a combination that means a year round Income, and the risk'of loss Is partly lessened. Selling eggs when prices are high and turning them Into broilers when prices are on the de cline Is a good rule to work by. J’rlces for broilers have held out very well during the past few years, as high ns 00 cents a pound being reached. When 1 Hrst became Interested in tbls branch—It was In the Infancy o f the Industry—the prices kept hovering very close to SO cents n pound. Yet nt that figure lu those days there was less profit than lu 00 cents a pound today. Why? We have breeds better adapted to the work; we have better Incuba tors and brooding systems; we have better knowledge o f bow to feed nud care for the chicks. These Improve ments lessen the loss, and with less risk we can make more profit. During the [last few years a new branch has sprung up—the sale of "squab broilers." These are chicks at a weight o f from one-half to three- fourths pound each. This demand was created owing to the animal scarcity of wild birds and especially squabs. As high as !>0 cents a pair has been paid for tills clnss o f goods. There Is a possibility o f this branch being over done, which would naturally lower the price. It Is a question In the minds of broiler raisers whether It pays better to sell squab broilers or raise them to regular size. The argument Is ad vanced that the greatest loss Is experi enced during the early life of the chick, and as It Is easier to add weight after a chick has reached three-fourths pound there is more profit In the regu lar broiler (one and one-hnlf pounds). There are fewer broiler plants In this country today than ever before, but the quality of broilers, the successful measures, etc, make it a branch which makes bigger profits than anything else. That Is n fact, however, only where eggs are raised nt home. A enre- ful Inspection of the methods employ ed, the success, etc., of the prosperous growers has evinced the fact that the secret o f success lies In the selection of a breed of fowls that will combine growth and plumpness in (lie shortest time after leaving the eggs. Such stock kept at home and fed and eared for so as to assure styong fertility gives the broiler man material from which he can produce the ideal article. I give these facts briefly, as the Im pression has gone forth that the In dustry is dead and that it died from the effect o f low prices and hlg cost. There could be no more cruel blow struck. I f dead—but It Is not dead—It died by careless handling from incom petent men. The prices are not low and never have been so low that they did not afford a profit to the practical mnn. The cost of production depends upon the price o f eggs, labor, methods, etc. The practical man regulates these. So It will be seen that, with experienc ed work and common sense methods aud when made ail adjunct to other branches, broiler raising iustend of being dead Is a live, healthy and profit able business.—Michael C. Boyer In Poultry Monthly. Those of os who have been under the necessity o f bnyins poultry feed or pmin recently hnve been painfully con scious o f nn unprecedented rise In prices. The tendency of prices hns been upward for n I o i i r time. Fart o f this advance Is attributable to partial failure o f or reported d«nm^e to some grain crops nnd part to speculation on the part o f the grain gamblers, who exaggerated the actual conditions. Foul- trymen nnd others who are obliged to buy have lieen robbed of hundreds o f thousands of dollars within the past few weeks. But we seeui to be helpless In the matter. It is a time for studying economy In feeding nnd for testing tlie possibilities o f cheaper substitutes for standard feeding stuffs. It is also a time for getting rid o f the drones and the unproductive stock. — Poultry Monthly.
