returns than the money devoted to the
roads. The League of American Wheel
men has been gathering statistics on
the question for number of years.
One case that points a moral as well
as can be desired is that of the village
of Moorstown, n. j. For number of
years real estate there was not market
able at any price. The country was
in a wretched condition. Finally the
town supervisors got together and
voted bonds to the extent of forty
thousand dollars for road building,
with the result that real estate is now
enjoying a steady demand and the
country is being supported by garden
truck that can only be transported to
market by teams.
Realizing that the matter Of road inn
provement could best be brought to
the attention of the farmer by an ar
gument of dollars and cents, the league
has compiled great deal of literature
on the direct cost of building roads
and the direct returns that such an
outlay will produce. Taking the state
of Illinois, it is found there has been
built during the past ten years 955
miles of improved roadway. This inn
provement has been confined to thirty
counties In forty-five other counties
the roads are what are termed mud
roads. Basing calculations on the last
ten years it is found the thirty improved
counties have been assessed for the
building and care of the highways a
total of So, 934, 346. In the mud districts
there has been spent 50, SOC, s4s, or near
ly two-thirds as much, and they are In
no better condition than they were ten
years ago.
A comparison of values shows that
the land in the improved counties has
an average value of S2l.2s an acre, while
that in the mud district is valued at
el2.97 an acre. The total assessment ON

An Autumn Gown.

A stylish gown for the autumn Is
made of golden-brown English mohair,
with a goard and plated skirt five
yards wide around the hem, full NUT
ton-leg sleeves draped slightly on the

little pointed front and back. Three
simulated box-plaits, narrowing as
they near the waist line, are lined with
crinoline, and edged with very narrow
bronze and gold bead gimp. Loops Of
velvet trim the shoulders, and the
same material forms the soft belt and
folded stock collar. Large bronze and
gold buttons are placed on the upper
half of the box-plaits, and clasp to
match fastens the girdle. The waist
is hooked in the back under the velvet
plait. A very small shoulder-cape of
brown velvet, very full at the edge, is
lined with gold and brown shot taffeta,
and the long cape is edged with Van

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; eflectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

scorched Cloth

What to do with scorched places on
cloth is question that sometimes puz.
zles the careful housewife. II the
scorch is not too bad, dipping the ar.
ticle in soapsuds and hanging 1t in
the sun for some hours will be likely
to remove it. If the day is dull hang
the piece before CRATE fire. Scorched
spots that are very bad, and yet have
not consumed the fibre of the goods,
are said to be restorable by repeated
dipping in a saturated solution OF
borax. The saturated solution, as the
chemists call it. consists of as much
salt or crystal as the water will dis
solve. 1t is always safe to put in q
little extra; If the borax stands undis.
turbed in the bottom of the bottle,
one is sure of the full-strength solu.
tion. Repeated dipping of this, with
exposure to sun or fire light, will re-
move what are by most housekeepers
considered hopeless discolora tions. -

So they started together from one of
the big Office buildings, and as they
were leaving the office a man in big
hurry entered.
The thin man was able to dodge
him, but he fouled the fat man, of
course.
There you are" said the fat man
as soon as he had recovered his breath.

''Wait and see"
They each took one of the seats de-
signed to hold just two people of less
than medium size, and for a block
were on equal terms.
Then a big man got on. There were
four or FIVE other people whom he
could sit beside, but he singled out this
thin man and soon had him wedged in
SO tightly that he could hardly breathe.
A few blocks farther on the seat ahead
was vacated and the thin man moved
to it. Two minutes later woman
with pulled sleeves got on, and again
he was singled out.
She gave him such an indignant
look because he could not make all the
room necessary for the sleeves that he
got up and moved to the side of man
of medium size.
The man got off at the next corner
and a fat woman took his place Again
the thin man was crowded against the
side of the seat and his face showed
the agony he was in.
But that was an exceptional case"
protested the fat man, when the two
had left the car"
ION the contrary, it's regular
thing, returned the thin man. you
can see it any day if you watch out.
The thin man never gets seat to him

Jaunty Jacket Suits.

Three styles of jacket suits will be
worn in the fall, with the skirt
having godet effect with a
stiff interling twelve inches deep.
The Elton fronts may come to the
waist-line or point below for two
inches; one back comss to the waist
line with two box-plaits and fitted
belt, the latter passing under the
fronts and through the side seams.
The backs have center seam, and
the second style has an umbrella back
of three inserted cores forming a
basque six inches below the waist,
with two buttons at the waist-line
and three on either side of the front,
rolling collar and wide revers and
very large leg-of-mutton sleeves. A
silk or wooden plaid waist or loose
front and crush collar is worn, or q
regular shirtwaist of plain or plaid
serge, Henrietta. crepon and other
wooden fabrics. The short blazer
jacket has similar collar, revers,
sleeves and button trimmings; Is
slightly full at the back, only six
inches below the waist-line, and has a
tiny strap across the front holding the
fronts together. Mixed cheviot, tweed,
mohair of a heavy quality, serge and
homespun mixtures will all figure in
such suits in place of cotton duck and
pique.-Ladies' Home Journal.

behalf of roads has been S3.55 for each
500 valuation in the improved coun-
ties, while those districts that have
spent their money in piling the mud
up in the center of the roads couple
of times year have saved 43 cents on
each 500, an amount that has in all
likelihood been spent many times over
in horses and repairs to wagons and
harness made necessary by the awful
condition of the roads during several
months of the year. The average cost
of constructing gravel roads is various
ly estimated at from 81 900 to 81, 500 per
mile, according to the locality. Dirt
roads require two-thirds of that sum
to keep in repair for ten years, while
the former method, it is figured, adds
$40 an acre to the value of the prop
erty.
The increase In the value of the
property is not the only return that a
farmer gets from his investment in
good roads. Gen. Stone, of the federal
department of agriculture, has found
three independent estimates which
place the yearly loss to farmers in the
5000. 900, 900, equivalent to 81 an acre
annually. Capitalized at S per cent.
this amount if saved would increase
the value of farm land $50 an acre, or a
total increase of S12, 900, 900, 900. AS the
total value of all farms is about $685.
600, 600, 900 this would be an increase of
80 per cent in their value. AS the
total annual value of farm products is
only So, 600, 900, 900, one-fourth of its
value is lost through bad roads,
Comparisons have also been made
with foreign countries. The English
horse does twice the work of the
American horse, the French horse three
times the work; not because they are
better horses, but because they travel
better roads. Mr.. Wollen estimates
the annual cost of maintaining horse
at 500. If only one-fourth of the
horses in Illinois could be spared, in
stead of one-half or two-thirds as in
England or France, the annual saving
in horse maintenance for this state

SKILL IN THE DAIRY.
How One May Succeed Under Any and
All Circumstances.

HOW One May succeed Under ANY ano
All circumstances.
In producing pound Of butter, says
Prof. Robertson, there are 81 times
more room for skill than in the pro-
duction of pound of potatoes Dairy
ing offers man the best chance for
putting his skill into money. The OBJ
ject of the butter-maker is to get the
fat out of the milk with as little OF
the other constituents in the milk as
possible. In every 100 pounds of but
ter there should be about Is pounds OF
water, 80 pounds of butter fat,
pounds of salt and 2 pounds of the
other constituents in the milk. A cow
is not a machine, but living organ
ism, and therefore will not give a diff
ferent product because she takes diff
ferent food. The food does not affect
the blood of cow, from which milk
is largely formed. Food will affect
the quality of the milk sometimes by
changing the composition of the fat
itself. If the quantity of fat is not af.
fectcd the volatile fats from the food
will become part of the fat in the
milk, and give it's peculiar flavor to
the milk. These volatile favors can be
expelled by heating milk or cream to
$50 degrees. The case with which
cream may be separated from the
milk sometimes depends upon the kind
of food a COW takes. Cows for making
butter should be handled under such
conditions as will give them perfect
repose. Cleanliness should be strictly
observed. Impure air of the stable
will affect the milk, and ensilage will
not injure the milk when fed to cows.
When cows have been milking a long
period or have been overheated, or
without salt, the milk will become
sticky and prevent complete separa-
ton of the cream. BY having few
fresh-calved cows milk to mix with
the milk of COWS that have been milk
ing a long time, a better quality OF
butter can be made. Keep the cream
sweet and cold, and use suitable fer
mentation starter, and you will get a
quality of butter in January as good
as the quality of June butter. If cream
is properly tempered, a temperature OF
from 81 to So will be suitable for churn-
ing and As minutes will be long enough
to get butter.-Prairie Farmer.
