Automobiles are not very enthusiast

discomforts that attend riding. The

when the mercury stands in the neigh

that the heat is reflected outward from

NATIONAL AID TO STATES
Policy Now Applied to Education I,
Also Applicable to tic Improve
&S gqsA ment 81 Roads. -.

The advocates of government aid In
building and improving the roads are
actively engaged in hunting up pre-
cedents. The latest thing in this line ia
government aid to education. They call
attention to the fact that, in our earlier
history, large gifts Of public lands were
made to the states to be Fused in support
of the public schools. In 1862 the Morrill,
act was passed by congress making large
grants of public lands to all the states,
the income from which was to be used
in the maintenance of agricultural col
leges. In 1890 the second Morrill, law was
enacted making anational appropriation
of SIS 900 to each state to be used in sup
porting these agricultural colleges. This
annual appropriation has been increased
from year to year until it is now $25, 900
for each state. This direct appropria-
ton, added to the income which all the
states derive from the land grants of
1862, makes an aggregate of nearly 81
100000 year, which the states now re-
ceive as national aid to agricultural edu-
cation.
One interesting feature Of this gov
eminent aid scheme is that It involves
cooperation between the nation and the
states somewhat similar to that now pro-
posed in the Observation-Disclosures road
bill. The government appropriations
and the land grant funds must be used
only in maintaining the colleges, not in
establishing them. The states must pro-
vide the buildings and equipment. Most
Of the states also put up part OF the funds
used in paying the current expenses.
In addition to all this, congress In 1887
passed the Hatch act making gift Of
$4,000 annually to each state to aid in
supporting state experiment station,
and in this we have another example Of
the same kind of cooperation. The states
now receive from the government for the
support of these stations nearly $500, 900
annually. This added to the government
aid which the colleges enjoy makes a
grand total of more than $1,000, 600 an
nually.
The good roads people are asking why
their plan for national aid to road inn
provement should be branded as uncon-
stitutional and paternalistic, while gov
eminent aid to education is we'll estab-
lished feature Of our national policy.
They point out that while the constitu-
ton expressly empowers congress to- "es-
tablish post roads," it is silent on the
matter Of education. They also claim
that agricultural education is something
which the states could handle far more
easily than the improvement of the roads.
On the whole, it looks as though the
good roads advocates have the best Of
the argument, and federal aid to educa-
tion will serve as a strong precedent for
federal aid to road improvement.

Keep the Milk Vessels Clean.

Keep the Milk Vessels Clean.
The value of clean milk pals and
pans is recognized by all dairymen,
but not every farmer knows what is
meant by clean milk vessels. The
washing they receive on an ordinary
farm, in which one small lot of boiling
water serves for washing several milk
pals, does not clean them, but always
leaves large numbers of bacteria,
especially in the cracks, ready to mix
with the next lot of milk drawn into
the pail. If possible they should be
steamed daily. When this is not pos
sible, they should be scrubbed with
boiling water and sal soda, rinsed in
boiling water and turned upside down
to dry. They should not be rinsed in
cold water and should never be wiped
with a rag after scalding. In hot
weather it may be necessary to take
them occasionally to a creamery for
steaming.-Prof. w. H. Conn, in Farm.

win. There are no two ways about that.
I told Maurine was going to win, and
I believe she is making test OF it,:
She was. Maurine Ostrander sat well
back in the gallery of the convention
hall and watched young Maloney close
ly. He was apparently brightly indom-
liable; but she read a troubled mind be-
hind his smiling energy. ''This is my
busy day" was written all over his man
ner. He fitted from one delegate to
another while the chairman was deliv-
ering the usual opening panegyric on
what his party had done and would do.
Decidedly this alert young man with the
good shoulders had plenty of force.
She glanced from him to her brother
and back again. There was no shadow
of doubt in her mind as to which Of them
would make better representative OF
the people.
A fragment of whispered talk reached
her from under the caves of the gallery.
Notice how Ostrander jobbed young
Maloney? He had four delegates from
Mapleville thrown out Claimed some
lrregularity. He's working hard to get
Meyer to throw him some votes from the
First. He'll get them, too. If Meyer
hasn't been bought, miss my guess.
The plan is to adjourn the district con-
vention till two o'clock so that Ostran-
der can get in his fine work during the
recess"
''That lets Maloney out good and
plenty, then" answered the second man,
as they moved away. "Ostrander will

ly wasted. He demonstrated, that a
smooth hard enduring road could be
built Of crushed stone a.few inches in
depth properly spread and compacted
on a foundation Of earth. So
The main points in successful maca-
dam road building are (1) that the
foundation beaproperly constructed and
drained; (2) that the surface Of the
road be slightly curved so as to shed
water;;. go, that the surface of the
finished road be made hard and smooth
and as nearly waterproof as possible.
The last of these qualities is secured
by spreading ON the stone in layers,
beginning with q layer Of the largest
fragments and finishing with layer.
Of very fine crushed stone with which
some sand is often incorporated.
Each layer is we'll compacted with
heavy roller.
Although the expense of building
macadam roads is trifling compared
with that of constructing a stone
paved road like that Of the Roman
emperor, Appius Claudius, it is still
SO great as to form the principal oh.
stacle to matchmaking modern high.
ways. The cost. of course, depends
largely on the ease with which suit
able stone may be secured. Where
the material has to be transported by
rail for a considerable distance the
cost is greatly increased. Some Of
the MASSACHUSETTS, highways have
cost $4,000 to $4,000 a mile; while in
some other states good macadam
roads have been built for $500 to
$4,000 FER mile.
Some friends of the good roads
movement hesitate to join in the. de.
mand for national aid because they
are appalled, by the enormous ex-
pense involved in matchmaking the
entire road mileage Of the country.
Such persons are laboring under mis-.
take. The national aid bills now be-
fore congress do not propose to con-
struct any particular kind of road.
They simply propose to Improve the

the best kinds of road material and the
best methods Of road building" In q
recent article Representative Brownlow
says:
"My own individual opinion Is that
some Of the principal thoroughfares
ought to be macadamized. Well in
formed road experts have estimated
that If one-tenth Of the road mileage
of the country were macadamized and
the other nine-tenths were improved
in other. and cheaper ways, using the
best local materials available, the cost
of hauling the farm products Of the
United States to market would be re.
duced one-half."
II this estimate is correct. the saving
to the farmers would be enormous, and
would in a few years be SUFFICIENT to
cover the entire expense Of making
the improvements. Besides lessening
the cost Of hauling. good roads will
bring the people Of the rural districts
pleasures and benefits which can not
be measured in money.
