GOOD AND BAD ROADS.


The time is now auspicious for agi-
iating the subject of good roads. But
here we are confronted with the diff
1iculty that for the time being our
Texas roads are so utterly unnayigable
that country people can neither assem-
BILE at the crossroads nor get to town
to discuss the subject. Nevertheless.
we now have a valuable object lesson.
A few days ago. we met farmer who
had hauled load of wood, consisting
Of half cord, five miles al. Dallas, over
the best wet weather road in the coun-
ty. He had to unload twice before
reaching town, at $3.50 p. M, having
started at 6 q. M; had to buy two
feeds for his mules and camp in the
rain, and return next day. To pay for
his wood, cutting, splitting and haul
ing, and two days. hard labor and ex-
posure, with wear and tear of wagon
and team, he will have less than one
dollar. With good roads, he could
have hauled On the same wagon and
with the same tean,a full cord of wood
and returned by dinner time the same
day, with $3.75 in his pocket. And yet
| this farmer would object to paying ~
an annual tax for road improvement
the equivalent of his loss in one day
from bad roads. Mr.. A. CASTOR, Of
Harvey, ILL.,, public spirited citizen.
recommends that all roadways be do
mated to the general government, and
that the government be required to
grade, macadamize and build bridges
On all public roads, laying car tracks
on either side with trolley wires, and
complete telephone system, and in ad.
dition plant nut and fruit-bearin9
trees on either side, each roadway
with its adjuncts, to be 100 feet wide
To pay the cost of the work he would
have the government issue greenbacks
He would also have neat cottages
built every half mile for the accommo
dation of laborers charged with ths
duty of maintaining and protectingths
roadway. This is a Notwithstanding
idea, entirely feasible. and would be Z
greater benefit to the country thar
could be attained by the cxpenditur'
of ten times the cost in many other di
rections. The expense would, o.
course, be immense; but the annua
loss from bad roads would do th'
work. 1t is really too good an idea t
be seriously considered at present
when all mankind are scrambling sol

The best way to transplant fruit
trees can hardly be given satisfactor-
lily in the columns of a paper, for the
reason that there is much detail in ..
gard to it that can only be learned BY
experience. 1t general way, how
ever, among the important things il
transplanting threes are to prune OF
the broken portions of the root, and
if the roots have been shortened in the
process, prune the top to correspond,
taking pains to leave the tree in good
form. In setting the tree 1t should be
set about two inches lower that Il
grew in the nursery. 1t digging the
holes for them it is desirable to :.
the subsoil and top soil separately,
and in covering the roots put in Ii
dark soil first. 1t is very important
also, to thoroughly firm the soil about
the roots, so that the tree will be well
anchored. This should be done b
tamping in the soil around the roots
as the hole is being filled up. Do M,

Kaffir corn is the most important
grain crop in Kansas, and all the
southwest should give more attention
to it than is now done. We give be-
low an extract from report by Secre-
tary Coburn, of the Kansas board of
agriculture, covering some of the most
important features of the case:
.'When grown for grain, the heads
may be cut off and gathered if the fod-
der is not wanted. When the fodder
is to be used, the cheapest method of
harvesting kaffir corn is to cut and
put it up in large shocks.
"The college farm is upland. In the
IL years that we have grown Kaffir
corn there has been but one failure to
produce grain. In 1894 Kaffir corn
yielded no grain, but gave tons Of
fodder per acre. Corn the same year
yielded US no grain and ton Of
fodder per acre. The average yield of
grain per acre on the college farm for
the past IL years has been, per
year: Kaffir corn, 46 bushels; corn,
s4H bushels. Our highest yield per
acre in one year has been: Kafir
corn, 9s bushels; corn, "A bushels. In
the western half of the state the diff
ference in favor of Kafiir corn is great
er, as there, in dry years when corn
yields l to bushels per acre, the
yield of Kaft:r corn is 25 bushels oz
more.
"a bushel of corn is worth more for
feed than bushel of Kaf1ir corn, but
On the college farm an acre of KaffiI
corn is worth more than an acre oil
corn. The average of the results
where we have fed corn against Kafiir
corn in fattening hogs, shows II
pounds of pork from husllel of corn
and 10 pounds of pork from q b,ishel
of Kafi:r corn. This shows for the col.
lege farm (upland) an average yield ol
grain per year per acre, to produce 46s
pounds of pork from Kafiir corn, and
404 pounds of pork from corn.
s.The relative values of corn and
Kaffir corn are practically the same 10,
beef production as for pork. KafiI
corn grain and alfalfa hay make thu
cheapest combination Of feeds in Kan
sas for milk production"

enough to receive the roots without
crowtling. Where large number Of
trees are to be set out a good way 70
do is to stake out the land carefully,
and then plow straight, deep burrows
where the rows are to go. Mark the
land the other way, putting stakes at
the ends of the rows. 1t is then quite
easy, by sighting along the rows both
ways, to get the trees in position. II
the rows are very long, II is desirable
to put up several stakes in the course
of the row. But the most important
of all directions is to start with vig-
orous, healthy trees with good roos
system.-Farm and Fireside.

Half the battle in securing q good
yield of potatoes is strong plants
when they first appear above ground.
Unless the sprouts show thrifty then
the chances are against the grower.
Such plants come only from seed full
of vitality. That seed may he small,
or it may be from large tubcrs, hut
vitality it must have. In all forms OF
life it is vitality that counts. A small
potato-that classed among the ''sec-
onds"-may be all right. If it grew
on q strong zine, being a second set
ting that did not have time to grow
as large as the tubers set first by tine
plant, it comes of good stock and will
probably keep up the family record;
but if it came from a spindIing vine,
and is small because the vine lacked
the vitality to produce the best tubcrs,
| it is not good seed. The grower can
know how vital his stock of potatoes
is. and should be quick to discard it
when many hills show weak vines.
just because the spindling bills fur
nished such large share of the ''sec-
onds" of crop my individual prefer
cnce is for tubers for seeu-not over
grown ones, as some of their eyes neal
the stem-end may be dead eyes and
become responsible for missing hills,
but medium-sized tubers that can be
cut to two eyes without making the
seed-pieces too large and expensive
But the seconds" may produce ai
good crop; only the grower must
know that they have vitality. The first
sprouts are best. Cold storage is hest
when keeping for June planting; fol
early planting pits or dark cellars arr
all right.--Farm and Fireside.

bought q cigar, and the crowd waited
for him outside and then continued to
follow. He seemed amused, and jollied
one or two of them pleasantly. When
the mob reached the station there was
still ten minutes to wait for the Chi
cago express. They waited, and the
stranger conversed humorously with
them from time to time. When the
train pulled in he stepped onto the

the train started, and he made grand

was the last of him.

jewelry wrapped up in bills opened
their coats and held an autopsy. The
bills were all good, but they had
changed somehow to one denomina-

vested in matches went home without
saying anything. But that night at
the hotel we counted up the strangers
profits as follows:
The Colfax chronicle., 1900-06-30

"sHow, I've got something little
different; said the man in the buggy.
"He took out of an inside pocket .
roll of bills the size of small cab
bage and laid it down on the seat be-
fore him. Then he opened one of his
packages and held up brass watch
case without the works.
"'Here, gentlemen he said, is an
empty brass watch case-brass, un-
derstand; no gold about it. And here
is something you can all see for your
selves-good money, too
at was q two-dollar bill, and after
folding it up in plain sight of every
body he stuffed it into the watch case
and shut down the lid.
.'Who wants the combination for q
dollar?' he asked.
"He got his dollar on the run, put
the case with his own hands into the
buyers pocket and made him button
his coat up over it and stand close,
just as he had done with the matches.
Then he picked a five-dollar bill out OF
his wad, put it in another brass case
and sold the outfit for three dollars;
then a ten-dollar bill for five dollars,
and then q $50 bill for ten dollars.
"'This is fun for you, gentlemen he
said, but my turns coming after
awhile
Finally he opened another box and
shook out a lot of shoddy jewelry,
badges and pins and the like, that sell
at retail for five and ten cents apiece.
"sThis is the last chance for bargains,
he said, and began to offer them at one,
two and three dellars, and, SO help me
he got it. And every piece was wrapped
up and showed into the customers vest
pocket, and the customer himself made
to stand up among the elect who were
going to have something nice happen
to them later. Once in awhile wher
sale dragged he'd wrap the gew'
gaw in a five-dollar bill instead of pa
per, but never until it was sold. And
this uncertainty as to what the wrap
per was going to be also had a good
effect on the market. guess he sold

began to pack up his cases. He did il
carefully and leisurely. Then he ad

and it in not noticed, but in an incu-
bator it 10 twenty chicks in every
hundred eggs. Bear in mind that no
two chicks are alike. When some vt
the eggs hatch it proves that the con-
tIitions, 40 far as the incubator or hen

so none of the eggs could possibly
hatch at all, those not Matching being
inferior to the others or lacking in

Why the eggs may not hatch and the
chicks die in the shells must be sought
for where the cause can not be discov-

or none), the males may be too young.
the eggs may be from immature pull

may be diseased. The difficulty is not
with the incubator or hens, but with
the eggs. The eggs used may be from
