goods from one place to another. A
road is a necessary adjunct te this ma
Chine, and common sense would seem
to dictate that the wagon and the road
should be so adapted to each other
as that neither will Immediately de.
stroy the other. Yet anyone who OBJ
serves wagons and roads at all knows
that the pressure per unit of area be-
tween the ordinary tires of a wagon
and the surface of the road on which
it runs is far beyond the resistance of
any practicable road-making materi-
al, especially when roads are wet, as
they must often be. 1t is q common
experience to see two-wheeled cart
or wagon with narrow tires follow a
steam roller and cut deeply into the
surface left by the roller, illustrating
what is in fact true-i. E., that 10 steam
road roller ev.-r gives nearly sc
great a pressure per unit of area as is
imposed by narrow-tired and heavily
loaded vehicles.
by requiring wagon-owners to use
tires wide enough to limit the pres
sure per unit of area between tires and
road surface to an amount which or
binary road-making materials can re-
sist, wagons will pack, harden and
improve roads, instead of destroying
them, and by making the forward axle
shorter than the rear one, by an
amount equal to twice the width of the
tires, the surface rolled will be again
doubled. Good wagon roads are as i'm
r0a6 railroads -
not, in fact, more so, and when the
public has constructed them individ
uals should rat be allowed to destroy
them, especially when it is demon
strable fact that there is no need what
ever for doing so. Tests have shown
that the wide tires lessen draft as we'll
as protect roads, and they should
everywhere be required by law"

VALUE OF SEPARATORS.
They Can BE Used to AdvasataSe
wherever Five or More Cows
Are Kept.

AS the economy in using the sep
arator in the dairy becomes better un-
derstood the number used will in
crease. It is recognized fact that to
secure the largest per cent. of fat in
the milk there must be a speedy sep
aration. Here is one of the principal
advantages of the separator. The
cream is taken out of the milk before
It has had time to cool and before the
milk has had time to be subjected to
any considerable extent to deteriorat-
ing influences.
Milk so readily absorbs any odors
that may be in the air after it cools
that it is quite an item to get the
cream from it before there has been
sn opportunity for the milk to come
in contact with foul odors of any kind.
Then, a good separator will take the
cream more thoroughly out of the
milk than is possible by any system of
milk setting for cream raising. Amy
cream left in the milk is direct loss
that cuts into the profits.
Of course. getting practically all
the cream is one of the greatest adj
Vantages of the separator, but it is not
the only one. Taking the cream out
before the milk has cooled gives it al
ways sweet and there is a much bet
ter opportunity Of ripening it uni
formly; and in making of good butter
uniformity in ripening of the cream is
as important item.
It is essential to use the waste prod
ucts to the best advantage. Having
the skim milk perfectly sweet and
fresh. as it is when the separator is
Used, affords much better opportun-
ity of using to the best advantage.
The sweet skim milk is better to use
in cooking and to feed to all kinds of
young stock, SO that more can be made
out of it.
To this may be added the saving OF
time and labor, which helps to reduce
the cost. Fewer utensils in handling
the milk are needed and it is less work
to properly care for separator than
for a creamery with the cans and
other vessels when the cream-raising
plan of management is followed
Whenever five or more cows are
kept and it is an item to make the
most and the best butter from them, a
good separator can be made to pay

WHAT is THE FARM FIT FORT

A word to the restless people-to the fast
and feverish age:
A perfect manhood is better than any
wealth or wage.
Some are for gold-some, glitter; but tell
me, tell me, when
Will we stand for the farm and the college
that go for the making Of men?
Yes, what is the old farm fit for? The word
is wisely said;
There may be stumps in the pasture and
the house may be a shed;
But what If Lincoln or Garfield be here
in this boy of ten?
And what should the farm be fit for, II not
the raising OF men?
IT'S a scanty soil for a seeding, but here
we win our bread.
And stout heart may grow stronger
where pillow and harrow are sped;
Then break up the bleak. high hillside and
trench the swamp and fen
For what should the farm be fit for, If not
the raising of men?
The crop by the frost is blighted, a niggarG
the season seems;
Yet the ready hand finds duties and the
heart of the youth has dreams
The bar and the senate tomorrow; to-mor-
row the sword or the pen;
For what should the farm be fit for, If not
the raising of men?
And what if our lot be humbler-if we or
the farm abide?
There is room for noble living and the
realm of thought is wide;
A mind enriched is a fortune-and you viii
know it-when
You see that the farm is fit for the rearing
of noble men.

fighting against the world for living, is no

One of the most earnest members OF the
corps at Byron, ILL.,, Is Mrs. James House
weart, but illness once put stop to her
active work. A year or so ago, when she
was nearing fifty years of age, the time
when women must be most careful of their
strength, Mrs Houseweart was taken seri-
ously i'll. The family physician told her
that she had reached critical period of her
life, and must be very careful. His pre-
scriptions and treatment did not benefit her,
and other treatment proved unavaillng.
At last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with in
disputable evidence that they were helpful
in cases such as hers, and with renewed hope
she tried the remedy. Last March she took
the first box of the pills, which gave much
relief. She was determined to be cured,
and kept on with the medicine, until now
eight boxes have been consumed, and she
feels like new woman.
Mrs. Houseweart said: 81 have taken
eight boxes, and have been improving since

have lived without the pills. They have done
me more good than any physician or any
medicine have ever tried"

ABOUT FODDER CORN.
An Ensilage Pit, This Writer Thinks
Is Its Proper and Most Profit
able Destination.

With present knowledge of the
pays to put surplus cornfodder into
shocks to be cured. An ensilage pit
is it's proper destination, as thus the
fodder next winter can be made to
yield you twice the amount of milk
that it would if fed in dry state.
1 am well acquainted with an ener-
getic progressive dairyman who raised
one of the finest fields of fodder corn ]

nured his land TO start with, and then
cultivated the growing corn so assidu-
ously that it had all developed into
strong, vigorous canes. He fed out

surprise cut and shocked the remain.
der for dry feeding in winter. By sc
doing, instead of converting it into en-.
silage, he lost at least so per cent. in it's
feeding value, as viewed from posi-.
BILE milk-yielding standpoint. 1t was
an illustration IF a dairyman being
partly wise and partly foolish.
I earnestly enjoin all dairymen not
to waste their ccrnfodder this fall.
There is too much good milk encased
in every stalk and leaf, which needs
only intelligent. economical feeding
to conduct it into the milking pail.
Many people have an unwarranted
prejudice against ensilage-produced
milk on account of it's flavor. If they
would aerate their milk thoroughly,
as all milk should be treated anyway,
this Objectionable favor would be
largely if not entirely eliminated.
Do not let question of possible milk
flavor deter you from putting your sur.
plus corn fodder down in ensilage-

STARVING THE SOLDIERS.
shameful Neglect and Signs of job
berry In the Military Head
quarters.

While death at the hands of the
Spanish soldiers has been a rare event
during the late war, death from the
neglect of the. war department has
been frequent.
Especial attention to this shameful
and criminal condition of affairs has
been called in more than one instance,
and the death of Lieut.. William Tiff
fanny, of the rough riders, in Boston
will intensity the feeling of resentment
which has arisen against the war de-
partment.
Lieut.. Tiffany served at Santiago and
was brought north in the Olivette and
landed at Boston. He was taken to a
hotel, given care, but could not rally.
The death certificate signed by DR.. +.
N. johnson gives this as the cause of
young Tiffany's death:
Death due TO protracted fevers, due
to war life in Cuba. and starvation"
While the government cannot con-
troll levers, it can provide food and
medicines and decent shelter for its
soldiers. and this it has not done.
There have been criminal blunders
In the selections of camps. criminal
bIunders in sending troops home in
pest ships, criminal blunders in en-
posing men to contagion, criminal
plumbers in failing TO supply medicine
and surgeons.
In addition there have been rob
berry, inefficiency. carelessness and
cruel neglect in the commissary de-
partment.
Alger has much to answer for. and by
the storm of popular indignation which
is rising he will be swept out of public
life into an oblivion which is his just
deserts.
