AXLE GREASE CHEESE,
Why Farmers should Assist in the Sup
preston of Its Manufacture.


Every effort TO suppress the manu-
facture and sale of filed cheese deserves
the heartiest support of all farmers.
The question is of more general i'm
portance than many farmers seem to
imagine, for the cheese and butter in
dustries are so closely allied that when
our export cheese trade is destroyed
the butter market cannot fail to be af-
fected.
The recent low prices commanded by
the best creamery butter has alarmed
many people. persuading them into the
belief that the creamery business is
overdone. II this be t-ae-and it is not
possible now to say whether it is or not,
for markets are affected by many cir
cumstances-but If il be true, the
remedy lies close at hand. With the
suppression of filled cheese, America
can produce and sell at advantageous
prices tons and tons of the real article.

BEST ARE CHEAPEST.
When You Build Roads, Build None But
the Most Perfect.

the Most Perfect.
a very wise philosopher has observed
that the great bulk OF the people must
always support the mass of the popula-
ton.
The people pay for everything the
people have. The public pays for the
railroads and the expense of running
them. If the railroads were only half
as good and could only haul half as
much it would cost the people twice as
much to ride or ship over them.
1t is fortunate for the people that rail-
roads are conducted in an organized
business-like way. If the opponents to
improved roads had their way the rail-
roads would be neither profitable nor
pleasant.
The people of a community are the
ones vitality interested in the roads of
that community.
If the farmers of each township were
To get together and mutually agree that
they would go about a system of good
roads their sum of happiness would be
increased.
Since the people pay for the roads
why not have those that are cheapest
and most pleasant-the very best ones ?

BACKACHE.
From the Press, Nc,c Foya. Citu.

Few people have suffered more from pain
In the back than Mrs. Lille B. Newell of
No. 23l3 Second Avenue, New York City.
For several years she was SO afflicted with
this distressing malady that she was hardly
aDie 10 get around. and could do little to
care for her children which made her suffer-
ing all the harder TO bear Her husband.
Charles Newell. who is well-known New
Y York optician, tried in every way to find a
remedy for his wife. but no medicine
seemed TO have the power to remove her
pain.
Mrs. Glynn, sister of Mrs. Newell. is a
professional nurse, and was familiar with
the symptoms of her sisters sickness. Mrs.
Newell was away on visit when reporter
called upon her, but Mrs. Glynn. who lives
at No. 4l6 East One-hundred and-twentieth
Street, told the story Of her sisters re-
covery.
A doctor was called when Mrs. Newell's
condition became serious and he prescribed
small pink pills which, In short time, re-
heved the woman's pain as no other medi-
cine has done. AFTER awhile" Mrs. Glynn
told the reporter, 1--WE learned that the emedi-
cine the physician was giving my sister was
nothing more than DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Knowing by experience
how excellent remedy these pills were,
Mrs. Newell bought some at a drug store
and continued taxing them. The effect was
most gratifying. for in six months my sister
was perfectly well and the pain in her back
was nothing more than an unpleasant mem
ory- Both she and have recommended the
Pink Pills TO other people, who have not
failed TO find them ali that is claimed. All
doctors my sister had been treated by. be-
fore taking the pills, had done her no ap-

FINDING THE LEAK.

The Product of the Fields Pays the Mud
or Stony Road Tax
Time spent in marketing farm prod
uce is dead loss.
This loss falls on the crop produced
by the farmer. The dappled fields of
green and golden wheat know it and
the corn leaves whisper it to the lazy
pumpkins yellowing in autumn sun.
They know that against them will be
charged all the time of horses and men
and all the wear and tear of vehicles en-
ployed in transporting them to market.
They know that if the road TO town is
very bad and but half a load can be
marketed in twice the time required for
marketing full load with good road,
it will ali count against them when the
years business is finished and the books
are balanced.
They know that production and con-
sumption are the great contending
factors of the farm. Horses and men
are consuming the crop while they are
producing it. The consumption of it
does not end until it is exchanged for
its cash equivalent. The fewer the
number of horses and men, the less the
amount of time employed in producing
and marketing it, the more there will
be to credit to the worth of the crop.
The mud tax, or stony-road tax, or
the steep-grade tax is assessed against
the product of the fields.
If the farm isn't a paying investment,
the 'why?" should be looked into.
The farm. itself. may show a profit.
The miserable road to market may be
the Improbable part of the business.
Roads should be so made that loads can
be hauled to market when fields are too
wet TO work.
Quit charging the fields with the great
loss of time, the broken vehicles, the
worn-out horses and the many other
ills occasioned by poor roads.-Good
