Many of the present generation will reuienibor the phrase. 'Electricity is only In its Infancy.' " says Mr. Nathuti.

Oil Concrete Road. The first stretc'i of oil concrete hish way lo lie laid In Pennsylvania lias Just ecently b4Hu completed on the llarrls- burg-Llnglestowu road. It is alioiit a quarter of a mile in length and is be tween Progress and PaxtmiU. The oil concrete road is nil experiment ou the part of ilm staie highway department. which in KHI7 rebuilt the highway from the eastern terminus of the city to I'ilSIOIli.t. The tection Just laid replaces a quar ter of a mile of roud constructed of concrete. The new section of road U made of concrete into which are mixed asphaitic oils. The lop t-urface Is not arched o n.ui h as liie rest of the road, the crown lazing constructed on a basis of three-eighths of au iucli to a foot. The crown is the sumo as that used in laying u brick pavement. Missouri's Oldest Road. Twelve miles of the old "klng'3 highway" near Sikestou, Mo., the old e.t road ia Missouri, Is being rebuilt with rock macadam. Curtis Hill, the state highway uglm-or. has 4rganlzd special benefit assessment road dls ,"Iet to carry on the work. Later the road will be extended to New Madrid. FREE ROAD DRAGS. To encourage road work Ray Williams, highway engineer of T Macon county, Mo, gives a road ,i drag fro ta every farmer who i makes application for one. If the farmer does not use hie drag it is taken from him and pivon to some one mare indus- T trious. The roads cf the county 3 have been much improved by " f, the arrangement. Good Blood in Ptultry Yard Is Not a Mere Whim, But a Money-Maker. Breeding stock should be accus tomed to their tpiarters before Iho breeding season opens. Those of our readers who have made up their mind3 to dispose of their old cocks should gi't them out of the way and replace them with new ones without much delay. The old ones will never ta.ite much better than right now. A tough old bird can be made very palatable if put into a stew and cooked slowly long enough. If tho old onej are not out of the way before the new ones arrive, the old ones will haik uion the new ones as intruders, and fights will result than can s-. rve no fcood end. If the new arrivals find no opponents llicy will accommodate themselves to conditions very quickly, and the flock will be reaily to get results by the. lime eggs aro wanted for hatching. Time ran bo no doubt about it, no doubt that those who are reading progressive farm pspt-rj will want to improve their (locks. If they flo not this year, they will next or the year after. This thing of having good blood is no mere idle whim. It Is a money making proposition. Tho sooner gotul blood la got into the flock, the sooner will more pride be taken in the busi ness and more profits taken out of I he business. It requires so much money to stork up on both males and females for tho larger clashes of live stock that most farmers feel I bey can not afford it; but this is not the case with poultry. A good male and a small number of females can be got at a small outlay. If there are no other males on tne place tho new male tan be used with the whole flock. This will give a few s'andard bred birds and nnny other that are not standard bred. If one tic sires to have S4i:ii" that are pure standard bred Monti ?.nd to know which aro pure lilnodr.i ami which are nut. it will be necessary lo have a pen for I he pure blcntU. Usually pens for poultry on the farm should not hn tolerated, hut an exception might properly be marie in a case of this kind. Where possible, the poultry raiser should begin at the top every time that is, start with standard bred fowls lu every case by using standard bred breeders of both sexes. If ibis can not be afforded usually It can then get fct.uid.ird b-cd r. ales, and make a yea . Th chau- tn.it WIB be wronsn In the flock in twelve months will bo enough to make anyone proud. The second year the offspring will look so much like the'r standard bred an cestors that it will begin to be hard to tell the birds cf mixed breeding from those that are standard bred. When a flock reaches this degree of excellence, it begins to be a very prac tical fovl for tho farmer whose chief aim is to get a reasonable number of epgs and nice carcasses for selling and to have every lot of eggs and bird J maiketcd grade evenly and con sequently make that pleasant Impres sion on the eye that makes good sales. It so happens that after a poultry man starts with one breed of fowls he concludes he ought to get new blood by crossing with some other bieod. Such vKiK-nt crosses arc un fortunate, since a common result is that the offspring do not develop the gcod qualities of their immediate an cestors uo much as they do their bad qualities. The o.fsprin? looks too ni'uh like mongrels. Always get new M.wd by using birds of the same breed. Tl'e experience of practical breed era have ro repeatedly shown that these principles are correct that there Is no use in listening to the free ad ice given by some oue who is ttnatile to tell whether a fowl Is standard fcrtvl or not. Wide experience and many cbservations aro necessary to formulate rules for breeding, and it is tafer to folio the advice of those who have attained great success than it is to follow the advice of some one who has really never accomplished much. With tho crops practically housed rnd only the remnants to be gathered, there U now nothing to do but to fix up things generally and commence op erations for next year's crop. One rood way to begin 1.4 to sow rye, wherever pcsisilile, for grazing ia the spring and for soil improvement. We want to plan to make larger yields per acre next year than we mad a this j ear, or last year either. The surest way to do this is to do better frrming. Ry will hold much fertility that would bo leached out of the soil by the winter rains and lost to us if llieie were no living plants to take It u;.

It buiids, strengthens, and restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness. If you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take CarduL It will surely do for you, what it did for her. At all druggists.
