WASTE ROAD BUILDING FUNDS
Department of Agriculture Point* Out
Need of Cenetruethtg tte flight
Kind of Roads.
The office of public roads of the de
partment of agriculture la making a
atroug effort to focus the mind ot the
country on the fact that malnteance
and effective repair are of equal im
portance with the actual improvement
of bad roads. Investment of moaey
In new roads does not become real
economy until provision is made for
keeping these new roads In condition
after they are built. If a new road
was built tiuw allowed to fall into
disrepair, much of the original iu
vestlimit Is simply wasted.
Europe, generally speaking, Is ahead
of the toiled States in the matter
of road Improvement, but Great
Britain is struggling with a problem
similar to the one that confronts the
people of tike United States. In Eng
laud, Scotland and Wales there are no
fewer than 2,140 separate authorities
who between them, administer 170,487
miles of roads, or an average of only
£2 miles apiece. In Scotland, apart
from the big cities there are over
200 burghs, one-half of which have but
ten miles of road apiece to maintain. _
Needless to say, such a minute mile
age U insufficient to keep the road
plant fully occupied all the year
around, and renders the employment
of a skilled engineer impossible for
economical reasons.
Officials of the office of public roads
when called upon for assistance by the
various states are pointing out that
road building is an art based on a
science, and that trained men and ex
perienced men are necessary to se-
A-ure Ute best results from the expendi
ture of road funds.
Statisticians have found that al
though the average expenditure ou the
improvement of roads exceeds one mil
lion dollars a day, a large portion of
the money In the United States is
wasted because of the failure to build
the right type of road to meet the
local requirements or the failure to
.provide for the continued maintenance
of the Improvement.
The various stales and counties
within the past six months have
taken a greater interest in road im
provement than ever before in the
history of the United (Sates, and there
Is now a strong movement to con
serve the roads Of tke country wkere
they are improved. Scientific mainte
nance will be one of tke chief fea
tures of the work of the office of pub
lic roads throughout the present year.

Good Roads.
The making of good roads is one of
the most Important duties of the
American people, and their prompt
repair and caroful maintenance is
essential. There is probably no sub
ject in which the progressive farmer
is more deeply interested than that
of having roads connecting him with
his markets over which be may he
able to haul the greatest possible load.
Good roads, like all other good things,
are too expensive to build and of too
much value to be neglected.
EARTH ROADS MOST POPULAR
ffibtls* Wilt Be Commonly Used Ir
Rural Districts Because of Their
* First Low Cost.
(By H. R Fj.INT. I’nlrerslty Farm, flt
Paul, Minn.)
The earth road will doubtless be
commonly Used In rural communities
for many years because of Its low
tlrst cost. The ever-recurring prob
lem of upkeep on such a road can be
solved very largely by the use of the
ao-called split-log drag.
Anvoae wtyo can ue tools reason
ably well can build one of these drags
at a cost of four to five dollars for la
bor and material. Very few tools are
required in making the drag, and its
use is as simple and cheap as Its con
struction If deetred. metal drags ran
be purchased at a somewhat greater
cost from manufacturers of road ma
chinery.
Careful use of the drag on a road
that is already In reasonably good
condition will almost entirely prevent
trouble from ruts, mud holes or dust,
and give g'K)d service at a reasonably
low cost.
NOTES
MEADOWBROOK
Sheep are sensitive creature*.
It lakes about eight weeks to grow
a broiler.
Warm barns do not always conduce
to health and vitality.
It Is well to have cows and heifers
In good flesh at calving time.
Don't use second hand package* for
your comb or extracted honey.
Measure aut your grain according
to the work your horses are doing.
Hogs are susceptible to rheumatism
If allowed to sleep lu wet or damp
beds
Underfeeding is responsible for
more small milk yields than is a poor
cow.
The home garden needs rotation
just as much as any other part of the
farm.
The health of every animal should
be carefully watched and every symp
tom treated.
Keep the mud cleaned oft the
hor-ses' legs and they will not have
I cracked heels.
One of the big arguments in favor of
the incubator is that the chicks are
not burn lousy.
A little more elbow grease used In
keeping the premises clean will often
preveut disease.
Sweet corn Is a very profitable crop.
1 One reason for this Is because it is
so easily bandied.
Keeping two cows to do the work of
one constitutes the biggest leak in
the dairy business.
Handle the young boar carefully.
Teach him to obey the word, and to
walk ahead of you.
Handle the brood sows so that the
young pigs will begin to grow from
the time of their birth.
A half pint of carbolic acid in two
gallons of water makes a good disin
fectant for any purpose.
Fine rotted manure from the sta
bles may be applied with great bene
fit to grass If spread early.
Try a few moth balls in the nesting
material of setting hens and the
virmln will be less troublesome.
Can you get ten pounds of pork out
of a bushel of corn? That is what
the Wg men tell us we ought to do
Rutter for market containing color
ing matter must be so labeled where
the coloring matter is injurious as a
food.
The amount of milk in the pall is
about the only "mark” of a good milk
cow that may always be depended
upon.
A dipper of very warm water turned
over cabbage heads several times dur
ing the season, will destroy cabbage
worms.
Many growers say that weeds are
as valuable as fertilizers as clover
and cowpeas If they are turned un
der every year.
Keep on the constant lookout to de
stroy Insect eggs and cocoons fre
quently seen near rubbish heaps and
on the bark of trees.
To rid the hen house of mites get a
25-cent spray pump and spray every
crack and crevice with coal oil. Re
peat this every two weeks.
Some fruit growers say that It Is |
not a good plan to plow an orchard
when the trees are in blossom —bet-
ter do it before or after.
I Good digestion Is the result of feed
i log enough to sustain the animal, but
not enough to keep the stomach in an
overloaded condition all the time.
It is better to give the crop a thor
ough soaking once a week, than to
sprinkle lightly over It. Light sprink
ling tends to keep the roots near the
surface.
The summer silo Is a grand thing
for the dairy farmer, but it takes a
tremendous amount of pounding to
wadee some Of us up to a realization
of that tact.
It la a mistake to think that hogs or
any other animals can shift tor them
selves while they are young, and then
expect that you can make up for such
neglect in the end.
Warts on cattle or horses can be
killed by applying caetor oil well
rubbed in twice & day for a week or
two. Eating warts out with acids does
not give satisfaction, but castor oil
seems to destroy them root and
branch.
Indigestion in older calves Is usu
ally due to uncleau milk or feed, un
clean vessels, close confinement In
dark, insanitary stalls rnd irregular
or excessive feeding. In some cases
it appears to be due mainly to sheer

MUST PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
Massachusetts Law Cetnpels the Crea
tion of Planning Boards in
Large Towns.
City and town planning boards tn
Massachusetts must be created by
every city and also by every town
having a population of more than 10,-
000 and at the last preceding national
or state census, according to an act
of the Massachusetts legislature, says
the Enginering News
These boards are required to "make
careful studies of the resources, pos
sibilities and needs of the city or
town, particularly with respect to con
ditions which may be injurious In
and about rented buildings."
The planning boards are also re
quired to "make plans for the devel
opment of the municipal!! with vpe
! cial reference to the proper hott-Mug
of its people," The planning b r a r ds
are to be appointed by the mavors of
cities or bv the commissions In com
mission-governed cities, and in towns
they are to be elected by the votes
at the annual town meetings
Every planning board Is required
to report unnuallv to the governing
| body of Its respective city or to the
| voters of Its town, "giving hiforma
i tlon regarding the condition of the
I city or town and any plans or pro-
IK>sals tor the development of the city
or town and estimates ot the cost
thereof"
The governing bodies of cities are
authorized by the act “to make suit
able or'!in-’'ero and towns are au
thorized to make suitable by-laws for
carrying out the purnoses of the act."
and the governing bodies In each case
“may appropriate money therefor."

Beauty In City Life.
William Morris said: “Beauty Is.
contend, no mere accident of human
life which people can take or leave as
they choose, but a positive necessity
of life. If we are to live as nature
meant us to, that is, unless we are
content to be less than men."
Beauty In the life of a city Is as
necessary as In human life.
Correction. I
The essentia) rtmerence between i
baseball and cricket, as explained in i
the Topeka Capital, is lu the gloves J
the catchers wear, 'lire cricket catch- j
er wears long gauntlet gloves, for
wrist protection, while the baseball
catcher wears a glove to protect his

to preserve his forefinger so he can
guide a billiard cue, while the English
catcher fears he will be incapacitated
for drlnkir.g tea of his wrist is bruised.
Probably the truth, except that, the

believe, uot to play billiards, but pea

NEW CURE FOR SWELL-HEAD
Let the Fowls Go by Themselves,
Separating From Others, If It
Can Be Done Conveniently.
(By MRS. E. M. STETSON, California.)
There Is a practice among poultry
people to catch a fowl with swell
head and squeeze the white matter
out, thinking that this will relieve this
bird of its corruption and cause It to
get well.
This is entirely wrong. A sac or
covering surrounds this white matter,
keeping it from going any further
than the one organ. When this sac
Is broken, as it must necessarily be
by the breaking of its outside covering
In order to eject It from the eye, the
contagion is allowed to go down the
nose and spread to the whole head.
The bird is then a hopeless case, for
there Is no remedy now but the ax.
The matter which will be found in the
blood of the fowl is also of a very
contagious nature and contact with
other organs will cause them to take
on similar conditions of corruption and
decay.
If the bird is kept In a warm place
and is fed on highly stimulating and
nutritious food the blood will finally
right Itself, but It cannot do so if
largely re-infected, or vaccinated with
the virus of the disease throughout
the entire head.
The proper way to do Is not to
touch the head, just letting the fowls
go by themselves; this is better than
the squeezing treatment, but se|rarati
them if convenient from the other
chickens and keep warm and feed all
they will eat.
If the eye is not pecked by the other
chickens, as in fighting over food, or
the sac is not broken, there is no
special danger of the other birds catch
ing Uie disease, even if they are allow
ed to run together.
We spent several dollars for rout
medicine, worked inceasantly, causing
ourselves and the poor chickens un
told misery by trying the squeezing
out method, and always lost the cases
Now we let them run and. save for a
blind eye, we seldom ever have one
die.
MACHINE FOR TESTING EGGS
Electric "Daylight” Tester Has Inter
esting Automatic Features—Age
May Be Determined.
Testing eggs outdoors or in a room
having ordinary light, where eggs may
be sorted and crated at the same
time, is possible witli the machine
here shown. The outfit is about thre<
feet long, with a roller at each end
over which an endless canvas belt
moves. About six Inches apart on
tliis belt are small metal saucers, each
of which holds an egg, says the Popn
lar Electricity. Centrally located
above the belt is an electric lamp, re
ceivlng current from a regular light
ing circuit, or from 24 dry batteries,
and over the lamp is placed a hood
having an opening in the top.
The belt is run by turning a crank,
and the electric lamp automatically
lights when an egg passes over It. re

the pereon looking into the hood. An
other interesting feature of the ma
chine is Uie automatic turning of the
egg upon the belt, thus enabling the
tester to examine it on all sides. The
age may be determined by the way
the egg has settled in the shell. A
perfectly fresh egg shows a clean,
deep orange color, while a bad one is
almost black.
As the eggs pass under the hood,
the good ones are left to noil out on u
canvas extension table, while the bad
ones are removed by hand.
Keep Selecting the Best Hens.
Constant selection is the only way
to get your Hock up to where you
want It. When you see a good bird,
look carefully and note well her char
acterlstlcs. Put her In a breeding pen
and use her as a breeder another
year. L<o this throughout the sum
mer and when fall comes you will
have made your selection of the best
birds and a breeding pen of the best
you have.
White Clover for Egg Layer.
White clover bay is the richest in
lime. Feeding clover is a preventive
of soft-shelled eggs. Cut clover hay
has helped revolutionize the poultry
business. Red clover hay contains

RAINSTORM IN THE DESERT
Grateful Changes That Follow a Del
uge of Icy Water on the
Hot Sande,
It Is 4ry on the desert. Dry Is the
natural condition, yet It Is more than
usually dry. The foothills quiver and
the stunted cedars dance in the uncer
tain light; the rocks seem to twist
and move uneasily; It Is the mirage
of heat. The greasewood Is gray with
dust, the gramma grass is brown rnd
crisp underfoot. Drought and despair
seem painted on everything, living and
dead. Is aught living?
There is a cloud In the south. It
peeps dark over the cliff, It spreads
out along the gray wall. Silently,
swiftly it overspreads the desert val
ley. The sun is hidden. It is not cool
er for that. It Is hotter. We spur our
jaded ponies, they respond wearily;
the sweat rolls off their reeking sides,
Joseph S. Wing writes In the Breed
ers' Gazette. Yet It seems ridiculous
that we should fear rain. It has not
rained for nearly a year.
We hear a low murmur off In the
south. It echoes and rolls along the
cliff wall. There It is once more and
nearer, louder. Again It rolls out. It
Is thunder—not the sharp rattle of an
eastern thunderstorm, but deeper,
more prolonged, more ominous. What,
has happened to yonder cliff? It has
disappeared. Instead It Is a gray veil.
It is rain at last. And now we art in
the thick of it. How it pours! We
pull our sombreros down and crouch
before it. Joy streams course down
our legs. The thirsty earth opens to
take it, but seems in danger of being
washed away.
Hear the rolls of the thunder now
right over our heads. See the blind!; g
sheets of rain. Are we following the
trail? Let us hasten to cross yonder
anoyo before the flood comes coursing
down it. Ah, Just in time! Look, up
the arroyo. See. the wall of water
comes sweeping down. It reaches from
wall to wall, before It roll stones, on
the crest are sticks, logs, brush. It is
death to any man who gets caught in
that turbid flood.
Slowly we plod along over the plain
again. It is raining slowly now. Every
drop is soaking in. The range is saved.
Oh. ye of little faith!
The stohn has gone. Only thin
cloud wreaths veil-yonder peaks. Wo
ride merrily along, the air cooled ai d
purified, the afternoon sun drying our
soaked garments. Who thought tjie
desert wue dead? Already we see the
green hue of gramma grass. We note
tiny flowers; they must have been hid
den by dust before the rain. See the
little squirrels; see the prairie dogs.
When did they get a drink before this?
We are near the cottonwoods by tire
river now.
We shut our eyes. Is this an or
chard in old Ohio? Surely, we hear
the robin chirping? His notes aro
brave ones, full of faith, courage.
Helping a Brother.
Referring to brotherly love, Senator
William H. Thompson of Kansas said
he never saw it more beautifully ex
emplified than the way in which Green
helped his friend Brown over a rather
diflicult place.
Some time ago the Greens called at
the home of the Browns. Brown, not
expecting the call, was absent from
Hie domestic camp.
"Oh. Mr. Green," remarked Mrs
Brown during the conversation, “1
want to ask you something. 1 was
looking through my husband's desk
this afternoon and found some of the
queerest tickets you ever saw. One
was marked. ‘Mudhorse, 8 to I,’ an
other was marked 'Getaway, 10 to I,’
and so on like that. What do you sup
pose they refer to?"
"That's an easy one, Mrs. Brown,"
was the smooth rejoinder of Green.
"Your husband is probably making a
study of archeology.”
"Archeology!" was the wondering
rejoinder of Mrs. Brown. "Do you
really think so? How very interest
ing!"
“Yes," responded Brother Green,
"those queer-looking tickets you found
are undoubtedly relics of r. lost race."
Named Sheepshead Bay.
Benjamin F. Freeman, who named
Sheepshead bay seventy-five years a"o,
died recently In Saratoga. He was
ninety-seven years oid. He often
talked of his boyhood, when all of
New York above Tenth street was
open country.
Mr. Freeman Is survived by thirteen
children and many grandchildren.
Freeman married a Miss Denison in
1838. She was a granddaughter of one
of General Washington's officers. They
1* -ested their joint fortune in a hotel
at what was then called the Cove. On
the signboard was a painted sheep's
head and underneath was the name of
the hotel, the Bay.
The Cove became famous for the
Freeman dinner. James Gordon Ben
nett, founder of the Herald, Horace
Greeley and others often dined there.
After the war the Freemans settled
on a Saratoga farm.
What Figures Prove.
Moet men cannot be idle and live.
That sounds strange. It is true. R
is a law of nature. If a man past forty
leads an idle life the probability is
that he will live to be fifty-seven
years old. If he leads a harmonious
and sufficiently occupied life lie wilt
live to be sixty-six. This is (lie expe
rience of life insurance companies,
which make a specialty of old-age an
nultles. Skill, money and time have
been spent by these companies to >
learn these figures. The success of
the companies depends on them.
The figures tell the story- Idleness j
Is harder on the vital organs of man
kind than work. To be Idle is to die, \
to work is to live.
Sounds Like It.
Mrs. Young—They say Mrs. Vubbs
treats her husband like a mandolin.
Mrs. Younger—How like a mando
lin?
Mrs. Young—Picking on him all the !
time. „
