Good Roads.

The dirt roads have undergone great
improvement in the last five years Agi-
tation of the question has done great
good. The agitation should be kept
up. Every county in this and other
states, no doubt, would be glad to have
first-class rock roads, but as there is no
probability of such a thing, all reasona-
bic efforts should be put forth to make
the dirt road as good as possible.
Owe know of no surer and quicker way
of getting nice, well-graded and we'll

condition by himself and hands and
teams, if the public money for that
purpose is not sufficient to do it, We
know of miles of finely-graded roads
in different parts of the country that
have been made so by this method.
The farmer who does extra work on
the roads along his farm will, of course,
do work that will benefit other people,
but the unselfsh man is willing to aid
in making the journey of life more
pleasant for his fellow men. And even
if other people do travel the roads

FARMER ANDPLANTER
FEEDING VALUE OF WHEAT,
A Question That Is Pertinent In These Days
OF Cheap Wheat and Dear Corn.

A Question That Is Pertinent In These Days
OF Cheap Wheat and Dear Corn.
Before me lie four letters, all asking
information on the same subject-the
feeding value of wheat for our live
stock.
These inquiries are stimulated by the
anomalous conditions which now pre-
vail in our markets for foodstuffs.
Wheat has been gradually going down
in price for some years past until it is
now at a figure we would not have be-
lieved possible ten years ago. Corn,
although very closely related TO wheat
in its nutritive CO nstituents, has fuc-
tuated in price each year from causes
apparently independent of the wheat
supply or price.
All this time we find wheat at its
lowest because, they tell us, of the
large supply in comparison with the
demand, and corn selling at about the
price as wheat in Chicago because of
the prospects of an unusually small
crop in the great corn districts of the
west. That fifty-six pounds of corn
should sell for as much as sixty pounds
of wheat may well cause us to wonder
what will happen next.
1t is good time for feeders to have
their wits about them and make the
most % the situation. l do not won

ing wheat to hogs, for we
can not help thinking of the
many that must suffer for
bread the coming winter. We have
been taught by custom to regard this
grain as in some way set apart for mans
especial use, and that there is defile'
ment in feeding it to stock, while we
hold corn as the food par excellence
for stock and decry its upward price
toward the level of wheat as altogether
wrong in the very nature of things.
Let us first look at the comparative
value of wheat and some of its prod
ucts and compare these with corn:

TOLD IN A DREAM.
The Inventor of the Shot Tower Taught I'll
Principles at Night.

The Inventor of the Shot Tower Taught His
Principles at Night.
Before Watts, the discoverer of tho
present mode of making shot, had his
notable dream, induced by overindul-
gence in stimulants, the manufacture
in question was slow, laborious and
costly process. Great bars of lead had
to be pounded into sheets of thickness
nearly equal to the diameter of the
shots desired. These sheets had then
to be cut into little cubes, placed into
- revolving barrel and there rolled
around until, by the constant friction,
the edges wore off from the little cubes
and they became spheroids.
Watts had often racked his brain try
ing to discover some better and less
costly scheme, but in vain. Finally,
after spending an evening with some
boon companions at an alehouse, he
went home, went to bed and soon fell
to sleep. His slumbers, however, were
disturbed by unwelcome dreams, in
one of which he was out with 1.-THE
boys" and as they were stumbling
home it began to rain shot-beautiful
globules of polished shining lead-in
such numbers that he and his compan-
ions had to seek shelter.
In the morning Watts remembered
his curious dream and it obtruded it,
self on his mind all day. He began to
wonder what shape molten lead would
assume in falling through the air, and
finally to set his mind at rest he as
cended to the top of the steeple of the
Church of st. Mary, at Radcliffe,
and dropped slowly and regularly a
ladelful of molten lead into the moat
below. Descending he took from the
bottom of the shallow pool several
handfuls of the most perfect shot he
had ever seen. Watts fortune was
made, or from this exploit emanated
the idea of the shot tower, which ever
since has been the only means employed
in the manufacture of the little mis-
siles so important in war and sport
