Department of Public Roads.
Many of the very best turn
pikes in the State some now near
ly 100 years, old, were built with
State and under State supervis
ion. The grades of these roads are
monuments of efficiency to the
engineers who made the surveys.
When state aid was withdrawn,
road building in the greater por
tion of the State practically ceas
ed for three-fourths of a centu
ry. The Act of 1914 again ex
tended the helping hand and road
building had such an impetus as
has never been known before,
1600 miles built in two years is
the record.
The Commissioner's Office at
Frankfort serves as a great dis
tributing center for road making
data. The data on cost of mate
rial and machinery alone saves
the people of the state thousands
of dollars annually.
Information concerning sur
veys, construction, reconstruc
tion, surfacing, plans, specifica
tions and concretes can be hkd;
and especially do I call attention
to the efficiency of the bridge en
gineer's department.
Some local vistory is here per
tinent. Woodford countv has
always collected a, 25c tax for
road.purposes and with the old

should be maintained, but with

CALLED HER FA
TO
Six Years Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Tesas Lady, Bat Now
She Is a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardui For
' ( Her Recovery.
Royse City, Tex. Mrs. Mary Kil
man, of this place, says; "After the
hirth of my little girl. . .my side com
menced to hurt me. I had to go back
to bed. We called the doctor. He
treated me. ..but I got no better. I
got worse and -worse until the misery
was unbearable... I was In bed for
three months and suffered such agony
that I waB just drawn up In a knot. . .
I told my husband If he would get
me a bottle of Cardui I would try it. . .
I commenced taking It, however, that
evening I called my family about
me... for I knew I could not last
many days unless I had a change for
main roads were torn to pieces
and the surface became a shell.
Something had to be done and
means devised to raise more
money to keep the roads in con
dition demanded by the public.
A bond issue had been sug
gested which I have . always dis
couraged it if it was possible to
avoid.
State Aid has been our salva
tion. The 5c levied for state
road tax costs Woodford county
about $5,700 annually and what
she has received for 1915 and
1916 and will receive for 1917 to
tals nearly $37,000, more than
double, and will have resurfaced

good investment in any business.
The prime desire of the men
who drafted this act was to in
spire and help the poorer coun
ties, and the bill is so drawn
that those with the least assess
ment can get from the State
Treasury the same amount as
any other state, but based upon
the principle of "Help to those
who help themselves." .

R. E. Woodford County.
The Truck and the Trucker.
The most modern and efficient
means of marketing is the motor
truck. With the motor truck a
farmer living, say eight miles
from the city or station, can
start at 8 o'clock, deliver his
goods and get home in time to
eat his dinner and get the truck
for the next day in readiness;
whereas, the same farmer, by
the old way of horse and wagon,
would have to start before sunup
and would usually get back home
by sun-down. He would then
have to take the next day to get
his truck ready. In that way
he would lose a day, and might
lose some truck that would have
been all right had it been mar
keted a day earlier.
Some truck farmers buy a reg
ular motor truck, while others
get "trailers," that i3, a small
wagon, to hook on behind their
car. By the former way they
can carry heavier loads, but the
latter is preferred by the major
ity, as it is large enough to han
dle the products of most truck
farms, and the car can also be
used for pleasure, as the "trail
er" can be unhooked at any
time.
Another way some truck farm
ers do is to buy a second-hand
Ford roadster or touring car and
have truck bodies 'put on them
by the blacksmith, who will usu
ally do it cheap. This is cheap
er, at first cost, than buying a
new truck, but it will pay in the
long run to buy a new one.
If you want to get the best
service out of your car or truck,
keep it well oiled and the spark
plugs clean. You can never get
full power from your engine un
less the spark plugs are kept
nicely cleaned. As a general

the better,- That was six years ago
and I am still here and am a well,
strong woman, and I owe my life to
Cardui. I had only taken half the
bottle when I began to feel better.
The misery in my side got less... I
continued right on taking the Cardui
until I had taken three bottles and I
did not need any more for I was well
and never felt better In ray life... I
have never had any trouble from that
day to this."

rule it takes only about thirty
minutes to clean them well.
Here are a few good hints
which help you keep out of trou
ble: 1. Don't fail to keep plenty of
air in your tires (if you don't
have solid tires), especially when
your truck is heavily loaded.
2. Don't ever overload your
truck, as this strains the engine
and weakens the whole car.
3. Don't fail to keep plenty of
water in the radiator.
4. Don't ever run on the rim
without a tire on it.

Agriculturist.
One Egg in Every Six is Wasted.
It is estimated that seventeen
per cent., of the eggs produced,
one of every six is wasted be
cause of improper handling by
producer or distributor.
Thirteen million -dozen, we are
told, spoil every year from tiny
cracks not observed by seller or
buyer. Over five million dozen
spoil from the effects of washing.
Many more millions of dpzen
decay because the roosters are
left with the hens after the
hatching season is over.
Some day farmers will candle
all their eggs at home and send
only fresh, clean eggs to market.
Some day the buyers will accept
no other kind, or if they buy
"cracks" and "dirties," or take
fertile eggs in the summer time,
take them at a reduced price for
the local market only. Some
day, too, the farmers will work
out a better system of marketing
than the country store and the
retail grocery, with their care
less methods of handling and
long delays in shipment, now
offer.
In the meantime it will pay any
farmer who has many eggs to
sell and who wishes to build up
a reputation and a profitable
market for his product, to sep
arate the male birds from the
laying fbck, to provide clean
nests, to gather up eggs every
day and store in a cool place, to 1
take them to market as often as
may be, to leave ail that are
stained, cracked, undersized or
of doubtful age at home. South
