GET WIDE TIRES FIRST.
Then Good Country Roads WIZ BE Easses
of Attainment.


The good roads spirit of progress has
impressed the value and necessity Cd
wide tires upon all classes OF road
vehicles. Teamsters, merchants and
manufacturers I'm towns and cities are
adopting wide tires because they find
the loads haul easier and the streets
wear smoother and better. Wide tires
are imperative on the good roads OF
france; then how much more important
upon our soft dirt roads. "a writer in
Good Roads says: In those parts Of the
country where stone does not abound,
and the most available road material Is
prairie mud-the first, best and cheap
est relief is to use wide tires, next put
In underdrains and keep the road well
shaped up. Such road, properly
looked after, comes very near being
right for sparsely settled prairie coun-
try, and during large part OF the year
is good enough for anybody, but it is
absolutely necessary to use wide tires,
and what is more, it is profitable to
the user, in that he can haul double
the corn out of the field that he could
have hauled with narrow tires,
and he can get to town with a
4Ot1, CNCh NACA
he is the only user of wide tires over
that road; and as soon as the ffat-footed
wagons become general, it is not neces-
sary to spend one-half the amount
keeping up even a common dirt road.
With proper drainage and wide tires, a
long step is taken in the direction Oh
going to town in the spring and fall.
Few localities are so slow that drain
age is not practical, and even in the
lowest bottoms" a road, properly
raised, with suitable side bitches and
cross tiles, will be in good shape most
Of the time, but no such road can stand
narrow tires. Get proper highways as
soon as possible, but get wide tires
now. The meanest road is made bet
ter. fair road is much improved, q
soft road is kept smooth, good road
is left So. hard road is made harder
a smooth road is made smoother, q
rough road is leveled, all roads last
longer, larger loads can be hauled
larger bank accounts can be main.
tanned, better profits for the farmer
better prices for the consumer, better
nature will prevail, and better citizens
are made by the use of wide tires
Therefore get wide tires first, and good
roads will be easier of attainment.

NEW ROAD MACHINE
Three Scrapers Operated Separately by
One Man aud Two Horses.

Three Scrapers Operated Separately by
One Man aud Two Horses.
Without doubt the best country roads
are made by the MacAdam process.
But the practice of scraping and haul
ing dirt on the highway is still so COM
mon that there continues to be a de-
mand for machines that will perform
that work easily. One of the latest in
ventions of this class consists of three
ordinary road scrapers, hung one ahead
of another in a frame, which is support
ed on four wheels, and which is arched
near the front end to let the
front wheels pass under in turning.
On both sides, near the front of each
scraper, there are Jugs, to which are
attached chains that run up to hori-
zontal shaft. By rotating this shaft
with a winch one can raise or lower
the front edge of the scraper.B There
IS another chain from the rear edge,
leading up to a loose collar on the
same shaft. When this collar clutches
a fixed one adjacent thereto, the rear
chain may also be wound or unwound
with the winch. Further support to
the rear end Of the scraper is af-
forded by cross-bar, riveted there
to, which rests on the side-pieces
Of the main frame. In order to keep
the scraper from sliding backward
scoop up earth, there are adjusta BILE
horizontal braces on each side of every
scraper that are pivoted to the frame.
The depth OF cut is regulated by the
forward chains. When a scraper is

PoRCuPINE GRASS.
Said to Give Good Yields of Hay of .
Fair Quality.


Eair Quality.
Latin name, Stipa Spartea- Stems
stout, erect, smooth, more or less
punched, one and one-half to three
feet high, from tough perennial roots;
leaves more or less involute, thick and
hard, rough on the margins, usually
foot or two long, root leaves numer-
Gus, and long; panicle about six inches
long, contracted; spikelets an inch or
more long, borne at the end of the
slender branches of the panic1e; empty
g1umes lanceolate, with long arm-like
points, one to one and one-half inches
in length, the upper one longest;
Towering glume very hard and sharp
pointed at maturity, thickly hairy
above the point; avn rough, stiff four
to six inches long, twisted and bent.
A bulletin of the South Dakota ex-
pertinent station says: ''This grass is
found throughout the state, but is
most common in the eastern part. It
is largely replaced in the western part
of the state by needle grass (stipa COM
ata), which may be distinguished from
either porcupine grass or feather bunch
grass by its shorter leaves and loose,
open panicle, the lower part of which
is more or less included in the upper
most sheath. Both porcupine grass and
needle grass give good yields of hay of
fair quality. As the spear-like fruits
of these grasses sometimes injure
stock, they should not be cut until
after the fruits have fallen, which
usually occurs in time for haymaking.
When these grasses occur in pastures
or ranges in sufficient quantities to be

AN IDEAL DAIRY.
Where the Princess of Wales and Her
Daughters Make Butter.

Where the Princess of Wales and Her
Daughters Make Butter.
Probably the most ideal dairy in ex-
istence is that of the princess of Wales,
in which not only she, but her various
daughters, have learned to make the
most perfect of butter. The walls are
cover ed with tiles presented to the
prince of Wales, who placed them here
as surprise TO the royal dairymaids.
They We're made in Bombay, and are
of deep peacock blue, the rose, sham
rocks and thistle being interviewed,

around the room holds silver pans of

bullocks and calves; Italian and Parian

can, painted by Princess Louise to
match the Indian thing, stands in one
corner, and opposite is the head of the
princess pet Attorney, with silver
plate recording her virtues. Here the
princess sometimes churns in silver
churn, and in the next room the butter
for the family is made and sent up
fresh every morning when they are in
London. The days supply IS made up
into little pats and scrolls all ready for
the table, and the prince requires a
special order of pats. Not a grain of
salt is allowed in them, and they are
made the size of half-dollar and the
thickness of three, with either the
crown, the coat of arms, or the three
feathers stamped on each.

The age at which trees should be
bought must be governed by circnm-
stances and by variety. There is a.
general tendency TO buy trees too old
rather than too young. When vari-
cites are new and scarce, it may be
economy to buy young stock. Some of
the freer-growing apples and pears are
large enough when two years old if
grown from buds; but these fruits are
usually set at three years from the
bud or graft. Dwarf pears may be set
at two or three years, preferably, 1
think, the former age. Ounces are
set at two and three years. Peaches
are always set at one year from the
bud--Prof. L. Ii. Bailey, in Bulle-
tin co.

Is without foundation and far as bust
ness on the willamette is concerned
this company proposes TO take an ac-
tive hand In the operations this winter.
AT present the Bentley and the Hoag,
two Of the company's pest boats, are
being overhauled aud repaired, pre-
paratOry to the winters work. A new
hull Is being placed in the Bentley
while other necessary repairs are teing
made to the Hoay. This company
will expcnd over $4,000 in repairing its
two boats. The old o. z. dock lying
below the Salem Touring mills will be
raised, repaired and towed back TO its
old resting place at the foot Of state
street to be used by this company. A..
