namely, the development of a higher
manhood and womunhood" So, two
years ago, the Z. of IL. were invited to
build home of their own at this world
renowned educational center. AS an
inducement the management offered to
give the lot on which the building
should stand. AS, however, no location
was at the disposal of the institution
which seemed desirable, the manage
ment generously gave the value-S40o-
toward the two lots selected. the total
cost of which was $1,000.
The structure Is in the style Of

expanded metal, with beautiful win
dows. The interior is finished in Geor-

to discover the best material from
which roads can be made. We shall
permit those interested in different
kinds Of road-making material and the
different designers of plans for country
roads to display their materials and
plans In order that the people Of all Sec
tions may determine which are the best
materials and methods for making high
ways.
I'VE hope, also, by having great In
ternational good roads convention In
connection with the exposition to In
crease the interest which is felt In this
country and throughout the world in
the making OF good roads. Anyone who
has been in countries where there are
good roads knows how much easier life
living on farm myself. The farm was
not on a turnpike, but three miles away
from it, and II we had been able to de-
vote to tilling the soil and looking after
the stock the energy and the time
wasted in traversing those three miles
OF dirt road we would have been able
to pay so times over the interest on the
money required to build three miles OF
good road.
"In travelling through Europe about
two months ago, in pursuance Of official
duties, was impressed with the very
superior roadways Of that continent
Ours cannot be classed with them. II
is a very ordinary circumstance in
France or Belgium to hear Of Ameri.
cans who are starting out on tour
of 80 or 100 miles in parties of three OF
four vehicles and 20 to so people
They spend large amounts Of money in
the country through which these tours
are taken. What Is left there by the
tourists who take advantage OF these
good roads is itself sufficient to pay the
interest upon the cost Of those roads.
ut is not only desirable from the
selfish standpoint of material interest,
to have good roads regardless of theH
cost, but from the standpoint Of oui
own pleasure, the culture of com
munity, and the enlightenment OF the
individuals who traverse these roads.
1t is not only wise, but it is duty to
remove an obstacle to advancement
which can be so easily removed as bad
roads"

Less water is required when the ration
consists largely of concentrated feeds
than when large amounts of coarse fod-
der are consumed. OF course when
green, succulent feeds are given the
amount of water needed is comparative
ly small. Horses consume from 25 to 80
pounds of water day, depending upon
the amount of labor they perform. At
the Oklahoma station a pair OF mules
during hot weather drank 25O pounds
In one day. The feed at that time con-
sisted of kahr corn, ordinary field corn,
oats and bran.--Orange Judd Farmer.
