CARE OF D~IRT-kOADS.
1t Is Best to Keep Them In Repair
by Contract. Says n Govern
ment Expert.

L. G. Harrison, government road e..
pert, has been giving the farmers and
others interested in the building and
maintaining of dirt-roads some valu-
able advice. Inasmuch as dirt-roads
must continue to predominant in many
parts of the country, COR years to come,
his remarks are worthy OF careful com
sideration. He says:
Except when the frost is coming cut
OF the ground in the spring. it will be
quite possible to build ordinary dirt
roads so that they will be very satisfac-
tory, and so that they can be kept in
good condition throughout the year eX-
cept during 4 few weeks of spring thaw.
The best way, after the road is properly
built, is to hire somebody in the vicin-
ity, some laboring man, for instance, to
keep in repair permanently n particular
stretch of road. He can start out then
just after every rain when he wouldn't
be working in his fields. and with a
single shovel he can make all necessary
repairs to the road. If water is collect
ing in any spot, he can open up a little
NAtNll IL u liIt "dlti IN Oll llOtT
erlv, although If the road WAS properly
built this would rarely occur. He can
toss stoQes to one side that the rain has
washed down. And, especially, he can
look to see that no holes are forming. y
LITTLE hollow start- in Il road. The next
wagon scoops ont Il trifie more dirt. an
otherwagon another trifle. Soon there's
a big hole. II rains. Water collects in
the hole and forms mud, and then the
mud clings to the wagon wheels and the
hole grows faster than eve. But if, in
the beginning. the road rcpaircr a
filed in tic small hollow with his shovel
and some dht, and rtarpcd the earth
down Il bit. then the wagons would have
packed the dirt like q roller and the hole
would never have got a chance to grow.
It's best to have roads kept in repair
by contract. for then its to the interest
of the contractor to exercise constant
care"

Hogs Like Alfalfa Hay.

During the past week the farm de-
partment of the Kansas Agricultural
college has been buying hogs to repeat
the Kaffr feeding experiment. The
herd arrived late one evening and were
turned into the paved barnyard. About
n bushel of whole kaffir was thrown
onto the pavement for them and close
by an armful of fine alfalfa hay. The
hogs began eating the katfir very greed
iiv. and IN moving about n by one
came IN contact with the hay. They
did not spit out the katfir to eat the
hav, but their actions showed that the
hay suited them better: and the next
morning there was less alfalfa than
Kaffir left where the hogs were fed.

FOOD OF SOME ANIMALS

In the corn districts of the United

Ioncd insects for grain.
Though horses train best on hay and
pats. in many stables they are now be-
in~ led hay. bran. vegetables and corn
mixed. steamed and then served after

Dogs have been induced to feed on
vegetables in order that they may be
m.Iicr tempered. and the dog biscuits
fed them have taken the place of table
scraps.
Instances of carnivorous animals
turning to n vegetable diet are rare.
One noted instance is Il Scotch deer
hound. which is so fond of peaches that
il will stand on its hind legs to reach
them on the trees.
In New Zealand 4 parrot took TO

evidence that the swan nee fed eNclu-
sively on aquatic grasses. Once when

because they would touch no other
