MAKING TRAMPS WORK.
In Some Eastern Towns Weary Willie
Is Now Compelled 10 Improve
Country Roads.

The movement for good roads
which is now well under way il
nearly every state in the union is
taking a new form in some states
1t is in the shape of proposal te
make the tramps incarcerated il
town and county jails earn their KEEP
by working on the road. Over n yeaI
ago the commissioner of Beaver coun
~, Pa, at the solicitation of loca!
cyclists, decided to utilize the serv'
ices of all tramps in the county pris'
on to better the conditions of the
county highways. 1t was at the sea
son of the year when tramps were
numerous, and when they are gath
cred in from all highways and giver
liberal service in the county Jail
Here they were set to work breaking
stone, and after n sufficient amount
of stone had been accumulated they
were set to work on a stretch Of
roadway. The tramps did not relish
the work, but were kept at it indie.
fatigably, with the result that within
six months time Pennsylvania boast
ed of one of the smoothest, firmest
and best constructed macadam road
ways in the country for limited
distance. Pittsburgh riders know Of
it and enjoy it, and have been hoping
that the example of the Beaver coun
ty authorities would be emulated by
those of other adjoining counties
For some reason the experiment has
not been followed up, and tramps
have been suffered to live in idleness
ut the expense not only of Pennsyl
vania, but of other states. 1t is ar.
gued that were the tramps that fill
the county jails of New York, Chi
cago, Detroit and other large cities
put to work each fall upon county
roads, the owners of bicycles, auto.
mobiles and horses. to say nothing OF
the farmers, would profit materially.

SIMPLE SYSTEM OF IRRIGATION.

trenches shown in the figure as trend
ing diagonally toward the right-hand
lower corner. From these trenches
the water can be turned upon the low
er fields so that the excess or seepage
is not wasted. but is employed on the
less elevated tracts.
Canvas dams are generally employed
IN checking the waters over the field,
as they are most convenient. The fol-
lowing description will enable anyone
to construct them. and will also ex-
plain their use. The materials used in
the construction of canvas dam are
a piece of timber, usually two by
four scantling, long enough to reach
across the top of the ditch from bank
to bank; a small stick varying in
length according to the width of the
ditch to be damned, but no longer
than will lie across the bottom OF the
ditch without leaving any consider
able, space between the stick and the
bottom; brace or stick about one
third longer than the depth OF the
ultCH anu IL JlCCC VI Hpcu' WV
third wider than the depth of the
ditch and as long as the width of the
ditch at the upper edge. The canvas
Is cut into trapezoidal shape. some
what resembling but larger than n
section of the ditch. The long edge of
the canvas is fastened to the scant-
ling first described and the short edge
to the small stick. 1t is well to have
q little margin of the canvas below
this short stick.
The dam is placed by throwing the
scantling across the ditch just below
the point at which it is desired to di-
vert the water. The canvas rests in
the ditch, with the short stick lying
across the bottom, far enough up
stream from the location of the scant-
ling to make the canvas nearly tight.
The brace is placed with one end
against the scantling and the other
against the short stick, thus prevent
ing the canvas from being washed
back under the scantling.
A little earth is thrown upon the
loose edges of the canvas, where it
rests against the banks and against
the bottom of the ditch, and the
water is turned in. The weight of the
water presses the canvas against the
banks, so that there is scarcely any
leakage. In some cases permanent
dams with head gates are placed in
the bitches, and this is often done
where bitches branch and it is desira-
BILE to divert the water to one or the
other branch.-W. j. Blanchard, in
Farm and Home.

to be held in storage. The advocate OF
thorough washing claims that in no
other way can butter be made to keep.
1t is my opinion that butter which
is thoroughly washed will keep better
than If only lightly washed, but I be-
lieve that either extreme should be
avoided. To wash butter until the
water runs off clear, will give us an
article that will not decay or turn
strong rs soon as that not washed so
much. But, by tasting of the wash
water rs it co1es from the churn, 1t
will be found to contain strong flavor
of the butter, so it is plain to be seen,
that by thorough washing we lose con-
siderable flavor. Then again, while
the flavor is enhanced by not washing
so much, the bu.termilk left in will
tend to putrefaction, for, as we all
know very well, buttermilk spoils
quickly and becomes i'll smelling. Then
i. we undertake to remove all the but
terrnilk by working, we are apt to
work the butter too much, thereby
breaking the grain and making II
salvy.
My plan of working the butter is tc
use two or three waters, depending
upon quantity of water, temperature
of butter and the market. " a nice
favored cream and butter, wash II
very little for high, quick flavor,
especially if to be consumed soon.
When the flavor is poor would wash
say in three waters. and whether the
flavor is good or bad, I would use lit

ture close down to so degrees-say
about SO degrees-and then If other
things are favorable the butter will
be in good condition to wash at once
with water at about the same temper
allure as the buttermilk drawn of.
There can be no set rules for washing
butter, any more than in ripening the
cream or working the butter. In this
work we have to rely on our judgment.

SUNDAY IN ST. LOUIS.
All Records for Hot Weather Smashed
Gov. Dockery's Proclamation Worry
Generally Needed.

St. Louis, July 22.-Yesterday the
day that Gov. Dockery designated for
fasting and prayer to God that the
present drought might be broken in
Missouri. all records for hot weather
in st. Louis were equaled, the
weather bureau thermometer on the
custom house registering 1O6 degrees
in the shade. On the streets and
in exposed places the mercury went
many degrees higher. The record
equalcd was that made in the
early SOS.
The governors proclamation was
very generally needed, nearly every
church in the city holding well at
tended services given up to prayer
that the drought. which has prevailed
several months and threatens the de-
struction of all vegetation, with con-
scquent loss and suffering, might be
broken.

A REMARKABLE INVENTION.
A Professor Claims to Have Discovered How
to Ascertain the Mental Traits
OF People.

Des Moines, Ia, July 22.-"What a
man is good for is an important ques-
ton to almost everyone" said Prof.
Carl L. Seashore, of the University
of Iowa, inventor of the psycher-
gograph, an instrument which de-
tects and records the mental traits
of people. Prof. Seashore thus de-
scribes it: II have in this machine
an instrument that will be of great
value in aiding employers in testing
the capacity of those who apply for
work. l can tell what scholar is the
brightest, what pupil is the earnest
plodder, what one is quick. but unre-
liable. In short the psychergograph
will test the power of the individual
and compare the capacity of many
persons to do certain kinds of work
specified, to associate ideas, to de-
velop mental working power with
age and to perform many other men
tai acts and services"

WASHING OF BUTTER.
n Delicate Dairy Operation which
Calls for the Exercise of In
dividunl Judgment.

Not many years ago it was generally
supposed by dairymen that to make
fine butter they must allow but little,
If any, water to come in contact with
1t, but since that time we have learned
to wash it in one or more waters, to
remove the buttermilk. The question
now is, how much washing should be
done. There is a great difference of
opinion on this matter. Some claim
that 1t should be thoroughly washed,
while others say that in doing this the
flavor is injured. The latter, no doubt,
Is correct, while the first may be in
measure. To what extent butter
should be washed, I believe, depends
on what way It is to be handled in the

WATERING ROUGH LAND.
asmplc system of Irrigation Success
fully Introduced In the Arid
states of the Far West.

Along the line OF many irrigation
canals, large tracts of land are often
found which have decided fall, or are
rolling. Where this occurs in large
tracts, the expense of terracing is gen.
orally too great for the average farm
er, and system whereby the distri-
button of water can be assured which
is suited to the contour of the ground
must be devised. On land sloping SIM
ilarly as shown by the plan herewith
the water enters the distributing
bitches at the upper left-hand corner,
and dividing, flows through these into
the still smaller bitches, from which
1t is turned laterally into burrows.
Little dams or temporary obstruc-
tions of earth check its flow from point
to point.
After water flows out upon field,

Pe.ru.na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd ST., Minneapolis, Minn.,
as follows:
81 suffered for years with pain in
the small of my back and right side.
1t interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
that I would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
fortunately membe' of our Or
der advised me to try Peruna and gave
it such high praise that i decided to
try it. Although I started in with lit
tile faith, I felt so much better in q
week that I felt encouraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing ]
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
I enjoy that now."-Minnie E. Meal
lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as q
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal ,tonics are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies
can be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can
only be obtained at q uniform price,
and no druggist can get it a cent
cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempt
ed to substitute the cheap limitations
Of Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done ev-
cry day without doubt.

transacted such business as would
properly come before the meeting.
The object of the session was for
further discussion of the electric
light proposition.
Mr. Rhoades who asked for an
electric light franchise from the
city council Tuesday night was
present and awaited his reply from
the council, Considerable discus
sion arose over the proposition and
thinking that it had gone far
enough Mr. Houston moved that
further discussion be deferred un-
til next Wednesday night when it
will again be taken up, This mo-
ton was seconded by Lines.
Afterward Mr. Rhoades made
some remarks which created gen
eral i'll feeling between himself
and the council, and ended by
withdrawing his request for
franchise.
Mr. Stearns, representing the
Arkansas Valley Electric company
then arose and made talk for his
company and said that as his peo-
pie were the first in the field and
taxpayers, he thought that they
should have the first consideration.
He claimed further that he and
his company knew nothing of the
threatened fight, but if the council
would wait he would meet the cut
and have his proposition ready to
be submitted at the next meeting
of the council
A petition was granted to ex-
tend the water main to Frazer

tendent was instructed to proceed
