Steamers Double KANSAS IS BUSY IDEAL HENHOUSE ' ROADS . BUILDING LASTS ALL YEAR i Kansas' has not been altogether Idle during the past six years In her highway construction. This state has s large mileage ready for some type of surfacing, according to Prof. A, D. Con row of the engineering division of the Kansas State Agricultural college. Much of this large mileage of surface roads, however, has weak links, surface stretches being badly disconnected. A mail Is like ii chain, he believes, In being little better than Its weakest link, A total of 2,500 miles of grading and ubout 700 miles of sand surfacing have been cared for without federal aid, according to Conrow. These ore Improvements made only on the state system roads and d hot Include county road Improvements. Since June, 1021, more than has been spent for hr.dges on the state and county systems. At least 50 per cent of the county roads, though not graded to standard, have t wide and roadways and are generally In good condition In dry weather. One difficulty with the Kansas road system, according to Conrow, Is that of the extensive mileage In the state, Texas being the onty state having a he total Kansas greater mileage, mileage Is 130,204 miles of which 8,530 are state, roads and 41,523 are county roads. The greatest portion of the improvement In our highways has been on state and county systems," Conrow explained, "us on a large part of the township roads, but little Improvement work Is done and many are merely kept In passable condition. However, nearly 00 per cent of the people live on or within two or three miles of a state or county road, So the Improvement dealt with will he that which Is done on the county and state systems. "Our state system comprises 8.536 miles or 7 per cent of the total highways In the state. Of this mileage about 3,050 miles or a little over 43 per cent has been brought to standard grade and about 1.900 miles of this stnndard grade has been surfaced with some type of surfacing; 1,030 miles of the surfaced grade ore of the cheaper types of surfacing, such as sand, day, or gravel, and the remaining surfaced grade, shoot SCO miles, is of the higher types of surfacing. Including brick, concrete, and bituminous macadam. This shown that about 22 per cent of the 'state system Is surfaced." An Ideal henhouse Is one that makes all tbe rest of the year as much like spring as possible. It Is pointed out In a circular, "Housing Farm Poultry," which the college of agriculture, University of Illinois, has published for Interested flock owuers sod farmers. the Climatic conditions during spring months are, of course, favorable to egg production, and It Is from a study of them that much of the working basis for practical poultry-hous- e construction Is obtalued, tbe circular explains. Any type of construction that will prevent excessive heat lu summer and avoid extreme cold In winter will he favorable to eg production, the publication add. Every detail of const ruction, except such things as cost, convenience and appearance, should he considered from the standpoint of Its possible effect on the health, comfort and egg production of the Hock, the circular continues. All this means that there Is no one best house for alt conditions. Most of the essential requirements can be prortded In more than one ryuy, so that there Is an opportunity for tbe flock owner to exercise bis personal preference snd choice In various respects without seriously affecting the practicability of the house. In so far as location is concerned, the major factors to be considered are good soil and air drainage, southern exposure, protection from prevailing winds In winter and convenience In the nmtter of dally care and management. The last point may be sacrificed under some conditions If by so doing the factors which are essential to the co in 9 mt and health of the flock can be more fully secured. Sanitation cannot be too strongly stressed, the authors of the circular point out In this connection It Is desirable to arrange the poultry house tn such a way that the surrounding land may be cultivated and cropped. A double yarding system can then be provided, without excessive eximnse, so that half the range may be In crops every year. This practice will cut down losses from parasites and diseases. Taking up the question of the size of the bouse, the circular points out that crowding bens too closely, especially during the winter months, when they must be kept Indoors a large part of the time, seldom pays. A safe rule to follow In building a poultry house Is to allow four square feet of floor space to each hen. although when 250 hens or more run together In one flock, less floor space can be allowed for each hen.

The fate of seven ty-- e lx miners entombed In the mine for twenty-fou- r hours was undetermined as rescue crew worked frantically to extinguish a fire In the blast-tortunnels. AU rescue work was suspended while mining the fiames. The experts fought known dead numbered fifteen, and rescue leaders feared that when they conquered the blaze and reached the trapped men, they, too, will be added to the list of fatalities. Niue injured men were In hospitals here, one In a critical condition. Officials of the New England Transportation company, owner of the slope, said that fire hud been burning In the workings since Sunday night. They said no rescue men would go into tbe mine until Monday night, when an effort was to be made to reach the trapped men.
