The importance Of summer pasture
for hogs can not be exaggerated. What
is now wanted is healtbfulness and
growth of frame. The fat can be put
on later-when it il wanted.

government investigation of black pep

fifteen per cent annatto.

s MEETING q So iSetAeesl Wagon MAns'
Glen Studebaker. OF South BEND.
Ind. at the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Wagon Manufacturers associa-
ton. made an interesting talk on good
and bad roads. lie said, with emphasis:
Il think there il no question before
the public to-day of greater importance.
for there is no greater tax upon the
public. and upon the farming commu-
nifty especially, than bad roads. There
is nothing in this country that there Is
more money wasted on than in
our misdirected efforts to keen
up and improve our roads. be-
lieve, as many others do, that the
government of the United States ought
to take care of the public highways of
this country. The government has
granted subsidies to railways and to
star mail routes, and appropriates
money for river and harbor improve
ments. and why not for better roads?
The idea that some of us have is that 4
plan or system should he adopted,
whereby the government should issue
bonds to build these roads These bonds
could be met by taxes that would be
less than the saving to the farmer in
the course of lifetime. The idea is to
have these bonds issued by the town.
ship. and have the county and the state,
and finally the nation. indorse them.
Good roads would do more to break
down the barriers that exist between
communities to-day than anything
else. The mechanic would not be 50
avcrse to go to the country to live, and
the result would be for us what il has
been for France. in breaking the land
mp into small holdings and making the
people independent The farmer could
then 60 twenty miles and back any
day in the year, whereas now there are
seasons of the year when the farmer
can not &C FIVE miles and back.

association would take hold and help

would have those men enlist in the
road service.
If we had better roads. every farmer
in the country would take his daily
paper, and would be well informed.
and we would have intelligent voters,
and people through the country could
associate more with each other. and we
would have less ignorance and dis
order and other troubles. Now the
whole drift Of population is towards
the city. but If we had good roads peo-
pie in the country could travel more.

those engineers and flremen who struck on
account of low wages. Ito had Formerly been
in the employ OF the Chicago. Burlington and

coivcd orders to stay on tho side track until
tho north-bound passenger train passed.
but he either forgot tho orders or
misunderstood them. for he backed his
train out onto tho main track Just in time for
It to be struck. The strikers here say It is ey-
actly what they expected. and that they are
surprised that It did not occur before this.
They say Mr.. Ashley cannot get competent
man for the wages he. Is paying. and
insist on this being proof to that effect.
Mr.. Ashley says that the explosion was
caused by the crown sheet Of tho engine
the engineer and liable to happen on the best

the crown sheet out because he didn't know
how tn run tho engine. Nothing since the
