TAR AND GRAVEL APPARATUS
Device Invented by New Jersey Man
ufacturer for Heating Materials
I for Pavements.
Emulating the* famous hunter of the
olden days who killed two birds with
one stone, a New Jersey manufacturer
has recently brought out a combina
tion tar and gravel heater that heats
these two dissimilar materials quite in
dependently but with one operation.
The device, which is shown in the ac
companying Illustration, is particularly
fitted for street paving where block
pavements with tar joints are laid.
The apparatus consists of two main
parts, a rectangular tar kettle and a
Y-shaped gravel bin, with a furnace
extending beneath both parts, from
one end to the other. The furnace is
fired from the gravel end of the de
vice. The smoke and gases escape
through an ordinary stove pipe in the
kettle end. The inside of the gravel

heater is triangular shaped while the
outside is made up in steps consisting
of perforated metal plates. The Y
shaped top acts as a reservoir bin and
the gravel feeds down the steps and
out at the bottom. The perforations
in the step plates allow the moisture
in the gravel to escape readily as it is
turned into steam by the heat of the
fire, thereby making it possible to heat
both tar and gravel.—Popular Science

BENEFIT OF SHADE TREES
In Wisconsin Owner Is Given Annual
Bounty of Three Cents for Each
Rod of Highway.
The Wisconsin law provides that
financial consideration may be given
by the state to people who plant and
cultivate trees by the roadside. Ev
ery person along or through whose
lands a highway passes may plant and
cultivate on one or both sides of the
road where he shall own land, trees
of such varieties as commonly grow at
least 40 feet high. These must be
set two rods or less apart and in a
row within eight feet of the outer line
of the highway.
When such trees reach 12 feet in
height the superintendent of highways
shall give the owner upon request a
certificate accepting the trees as pub
lic shade trees. Thereafter they be
long to the public and are protected as
public property, but the title to them
or to the fruit they bear belongs to
the owner as long ns he maintains
the trees and replaces such as die.
The owner shall receive an annual
bounty of three cents for each rod of
highway along which such trees nre
planted on one side and six cents if
planted on both sides, to be credited
on his highway taxes.
BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROADS
From Standpoint of Almighty Dollar
It Pays Handsome Yearly Divi
dend to Farmer.
I,ft everybody awaken to the im
portance of Improving the public road,
for improved roads will bring:
Better schools and greater attend
ance.
Better henlth and quicker medical
attention.
Better farms and more cultivated
land.
Better crops and better transporta
tion.
Better social conditions and less iso
lation.
Better churches and better homes.
Better men and a better nation.
Improved roads have a money value
as well ns a social value.
Looking at an improved road from
the standpoint of the almighty dol
lar. it Is found to pay a handsome
dividend each year.
Maintenance cf Gravel Roads.
On many trunk highways, a grnvei
surface would be entirely unsatisfac
tory. but we must not overlook the
fact that on roads carrying compara
tively light traffic the annua' Interest
cost of h more substantial pavement
may exceed the maintenance cost of
gravel.
Durable Roads.
Tirne-ssvlng. durable roads are nou

TREATMENT FOR MILK FEVER
All Dairymen 8hould Be Prepared to
Administer Simple and Successful
Remedy to Cows.
{Prepared by ths United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In view of the fact that milk fever
Is a very common disease affecting
cows, particularly the heaviest milkers
In the large dairy district. It Is of
great Importance that dairymen ac
quaint themselves with the present ex
tremely successful methods of treat
ment.
The disease more frequently attacks
well-nourished, fleshy, heavy-milking
cows. It occurs during the most ac
tive period of life (fourth to sixth
calf), and Is characterized by a sudden
onset and complete paralysis. One at
tack does not render the animal im
mune. It generally follows closely the
act of calving and terminates In a
short time (usually from 18 to 72
hours) either In recovery or death.
While the disease may occur at any
time during the year, It is seen prin
cipally during the warm summer sea
son. It is rarely, If ever, met with In
pure beef breeds.
At the commencement of an attack
there Is usually ex-citement, the spe
cialists say. The cow Is restless, treads
with the hind feet, switches the tail,
and walks about uneasily. These symp
toms are followed within a few hours
by partial paralysis, Indicated by a
staggeriDg gait, especially In the hind
legs. The animal then becomes qui
eter. mere weak, and finally falls down,
unable to rise. While down the animal
assumes s very characteristic position,
which 1« a great aid in diagnosis. The
head Is turned around to the side
(usually the left) and rests on the
chest. On the day following the onset
of the disease, and in some cases even
within a few hours, the animal may
be up eating and drinking In a normal
manner. In fatal cases the animal
may remain perfectly quiet, bélng com
pletely paralyzed, until death.
The treatment consists of Injecting
air through sterile absorbent cotton,
preferably Impregnated with carbolic
add, into the teats by means of a
specially designed syringe. Soap and
water should first be applied to the
teats and udder, after which they
should be carefully disinfected with a
five per cent solution of carbolic acid
(three tablespoonfuls to one quart of
water). Then insert the syringe in
the teats and force air in each quar
ter of the udder. After one-fourth of
the udder 16 well distended with Al
tered air a broad piece of tape should
be tied about the teat to prevent the
air from escaping. In case the air
becomes absorbed and no Improvement
Is noted within five hours, a repetition
of this treatment should be made un
der the same antiseptic precautions as
the first, each quarter of the udder
being filled. The air should be left In
the udder for 24 hours, and when the
recovery Is assured It should be grad
ually milked out It is best to secure
the services c* a veterinarian for this
treatment, but this Is not necessary if
the dairyman or farmer has proper
equipment and takes due precautions.
GUERNSEY BREED IS POPULAR
Has Maintained Steady Growth and
Found in Large Numbers in East

France. This breed has maintained a
stendy growth in numbers and popu
larity In the country, and its largest
numbers are found in the Eastern and
middle Western states.
The characteristic colors of Guern
seys are some shade of fawn and
white. Cows average about 1.05U
pounds and bulls about 1,600 pounds
In weight. Guernsey milk Is noted for
Ita extremely yellow color and high
percentage of butterfnt.
In the Guernsey breed the average
of 6.200 cows that have completed
a year's record for advanced registry
is 8.934.44 pounds of milk, testing 4.99
per cent, amounting to 446.01 pounds
of butterfat. Tbe ten highest produ
cers of this breed range from 24,008
to 17.297.51 pounds of milk, with an
average, for these ten, of 19,337.9
pounds of milk. The teu highest
Guernsey butterfat producers range

Mother ! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated ; this is a sure sign the little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom
ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gen
tle liver and bowel cleansing should
always be the first treatment given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup of
Figs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you
have a well and playful child again.
All children love this hnrmless, deli
cious "fruit laxative," and it never
fails to effect a good "inside" cleans
ing. Directions for babies, children
of all ages and grown-ups are plainly
on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A little
given today saves a sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a bottle of "California
Syrup of Figs," then see that it is
made by the "California Fig Syrup
Company."—Adr.

"Just what did he say that caused
you to strike him?" asked the judge
in a city court recently. He was speak

Irish name, who was being tried for
assault and battery on a man, with a
decidedly German name, who It was
alleged, had made some disloyal re
mark*.
"He said." replied the defendant,
"that he was for Germany, first, last
and all the time. That he had a piano
in his house and that he played and
sang 'Rock and Rye,' and 'Germany
Forever' several times a day and that
he would like to see anyone stop
him."
"What did you say the songs were?"
asked an attorney.
" 'Rock and Rye.' and 'Germany For
ever,' answered the defendant.
"Wasn't it 'die Wacht am Rhine,'

You Need
More Than
A Laxative
NR Today—Keeps the Doctor Away
To Ur* and be healthy, your body
mechanism must properly digest your
food, extract all the nourishment from
it and promptly throw off the wasto
that Is left. This is accomplished by
the processes of digestion, assimilation
and elimination—the work of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.
The failure of any of the vital or
gans to do Its work properly affects
the action of all ti e others. A
forced bowel movement does not
help constipation; It only re
lieves for a few hours the con
çût:. n that constipation brings
about.
Now If you ar© used to taking
so-called laxative pills, oil, purges
and the like, you know mighty wen
you've got to be taking them all the
time. Moreover, If you stick to any
one laxative, you've got to be Increas
