POINT TO BE CONSIDERED.
Will the Farmers Accept Aid Of City
Friends of Good Roads or Treat
Them as Meddlersp

Among those interested in road inn
provement the farmers, Of course,
stand first. The character and condi-
lion of the roads are of vital interest
TO them every day in the year. The
farmers until recently have been COM
oelled to struggle with the road prob
lem without much help or encourage
ment from any other class. Now, how
ever, some strong elements of the city
population are rallying to their sup
port. Among these may be named the
manufacturers of road building ma
chinery, the makers and users of BIZ
cycles and automobiles and men of the
cities who have money invested in the
country. These people are entering
with even more enthusiasm and zeal
than the farmers.
Just now the farmers who want bet
ter roads are brought face to face with
a most important question: Will he
accept the assistance of these city
allies? Will he welcome the aid Of the
machinery man, the capitalist, the BIZ
cyclist and the automobilist? Or will
he treat them as schemers who are
trying to meddle with his affairs?
The answer to these questions ought
to depend on what these city friends
of good roads are proposing to do. II
they propose to have the country roads
improved in order to increase their
business. and enhance their pleasures,
wholly at the expense of the farmer
then he should spurn the proffered
alliance. IT, on the contrary they are
proposing, through state and national
taxation, to lift large part of the
burden off the farmer and place 1t on
the taxpayers Of the cities, he ough,
to bid them welcome and extend the
glad hand.
This is live question for the farm.
er to consider and answer. Already
the opponents Of state and nationaal
aid are at work trying to SOW seeds OF
suspicion in the minds of the farmers
and they will do their best to prevent
any cooperation between the country
and city friends Of good roads.
AS matter of fact. state and ma
tional aid offer the only hope of gen
eral road improvement, and such ait
can never be secured If the city people
array themselves against 1t. Unless
the farmers are wholly blind to thei
own interests they will welcome al,
from any and every source, and will
make every effort to secure the power
| full aid of the state and federal gov
ernments.

Opportunities for Dairymen.

Last year England imported $4,000
tons Of butter. The United States ex-
ported about 1000 tons. These facts
leave a fair inference that England
offers an open market for more than
80 times as much butter as we are in
the habit of exporting. England's pur-
chases of this article from foreign
countries and from her colonies
amount to about $l00,000,000 a year.
Our export sales of 1t approximate
$1.500,000. England purchased last
year about 136,000 tons of cheese Our
total exports were in the vicinity Of
5000 tons, worth about $2,250 900.
Canada, whom we are prone to regard
as an economic Inferior exported ten
times as much as we did. This leaves
fair inference that there Is In Eng
land alone a possible market for some
$40.000,000 worth of cheese every year.

New Healing Powers In the Waters
At Eureka Springs, Ark.

1t would seem that new properties
have been discovered in the waters at
Eureka Springs, Ark, peculiarly
adapted to assisting in the curing of
the drug and liquor habits. These
new properties have led to the estab-
lishment of large and splendidly ap-
pointed Sanitarium, where these dis
eases (if they may be called such) are
treated. A large and commodious
hotel has been fitted up comfortably
and every attention is given to pa
tients. The Sanitarium is in charge
of skilled corps of specialists and
some remarkable cures are being
made. The Sanitarium is in charge
of DR.. c. A. Reed, and this gentleman
invites correspondence on all troubles
of this nature. Excursion tickets are
sold from all points on the Frisco
System at very low rates.

Grounding Barbed Wire Fences.

A letter from Atchison, Kan, says
that an unusual number Of live stock
have been killed this summer by light
ming running along barbed.wire fences.
Twelve cattle were thus killed recently
near Pennington; they stood with their
heads against the wire. Electricians
say there Is no limit to the amount Of
electricity barbed wire can carry, but
that farmers can prevent this killing Of
live stock by grounding the wires fire.

wires will carry the electricity into the

a barbed wire will kill anything touch
ing the wire, even though the fence be
20 miles long.

The Size of Strawberries.

A certain grower of strawberry
plants says that he expects within ten
years to grow strawberries as large as
pineapples. We do not know how small
he has seen pineapples, but we have
seen watermelons that were not as large
as some Strawberries. But. seriously
we think the size of the berries we now
see is sufficient, and hope some one will
try to improve the quality instead of
trying to increase the size. II we have
got to slice our strawberries to eat them,
II will seem to be nuisance. And most
of the very large varieties we have seen
were not equal in flavor to the smaller
sorts.-St. Louis ?lobe-Democrat.

A Cure for Kicking Cows.

To keep COW from kicking while

argue about, said practical farmer

She won't try 1t more than once. Colts
can be broken of kicking in the same
manner. but they require the strap
huckled tighter than the COW does.

The Younger Son.

David Starr Jordan once made some
interesting calculations on the erect
which the establishment OF the right
of primogeniture has had on the his
tory of England. He had an idea that
the superiority of England over GER
tain Continental countries in the
matter of energy and enterprise was
partly due to this system.
American tradition is against
everything of the sort, but the plan
has its good points nevertheless, and
it does no harm TO consider them.
The rule of bequeathing the lions
share Of the property to the eldest
son makes it necessary for the
younger ones to face from childhood
the prospect of having to look out
for themselves, while at the same
time there is a remote possibility OF
their coming into the property. There
is probably no better way to prepare
a boy for life than to give him good
training and good living in youth,
with the distinct understanding that
he will later have to paddle his own
canoe. The eldest son, on the other
hand, is impressed with a sense OF
his responsibility as head OF the
family, and such a sense Of response
bility is necessary for the inheritors
of fortunes, if they are to do any
good with their money.
Secondly, as the Old-fashioned
preachers used to say, large proper
ties can be kept together in this way,
and the stability of business interests
promoted. When a man knows that
what he does is likely to benefit fu-
ture generations, or to work them
! injury. it is likely to make him care
full, If he has any conscience at all
Under our system, in which for
tunes are divided among the children
equally, some Of them are pretty sure
to make ducks and brakes Of their
share.
We need not go to the extremes
which have been reached in older
countries, and settle into a state oil
fossildom, but it would not be at al
bad thing for this country If pride
Of birth were encouraged; not that
pride Of birth which makes a maj
insolent on account of the deeds Of
his ancestors, but that pride which
forbids him TO dishOnor the family
traditions, and leads him to build
for those who may come after him.

An Educational Strike.

While the meat strike tOtters along
on its last legs, those who make a
business of selling meat to the pub
lie are confronted by an extraordinary
condition. The people are not buy
ing meat. Nor are they suffering.
Public sentiment is quiet, calm, and
contented. Those who are the calam-
ity howlers are the sellers, not the
buyers.
The meat strike has, in fact, been
q great educator, and If the lesson 1t
has taught be needed, it is likely to
prove Of lasting benefit to the people.
The lesson is, in a word, that 1t is
all nonsense to pay high prices for
meat; that one can live just as com
fortably and far more cheaply on
other things.
In the early days of the fight OF
the meat handlers against the pack
ers the market men regarded with
eomplacency the strike by the public
against soaring prices, pushed up
ward-so it is claimed-by that won
derful thing, the economic law OF
supply and demand.

ing" they declared. Wait till cool
weather comes. Talk about dollar

But cool weather is not here, and
the strike is gasping for breath. The
refrigerators are heaped up with beef
and instead of buying 1t folks are
reading instructive books on how e
tell edible mushrooms and make z
beef stew out of turnips and a vivid
imagination. Moreover, they are find
ing the books not only interesting

MOST HORRIBLE OF DREAMS.

No words are strong enough to point
out the danger of slow poisoning by
drugs which are often taken to procure
sleep, whether II be an alcoholic night
cap. morphine, opium. choral. or any
other. The medical man has recourse
with reluctance TO these as a last and
temporary resort. and only he can tell
how many lives are wrecked by the
iil-timed use OF them and their subse-
quent abuse. OF all horrible dreams
none is so awful as those which assail
people who habitually use these false
comforters. Better than all the drugs
