GOOD ROADS In CONGRESS-
Senator Latimer Gives Five Reasons
why Government should Aid in
Bui1dinE Highways.

Next to Panama and the canals, the
subject of good roads appears to be the
leading question before congress this
winter. In fact, the Panama question
had to stand aside while Senator Lat
liner made a speech on his good roads
bill. He Is the junior senator from
South Carolina, and an enthusiastic
supporter of the government aid prop
osition. The scheme outlined in his
bill is quite similar to that Of the
Brownlow bill which is now occupying
large share Of public attention. Each
bill carries an appropriation of $24,OOO,-
900 to be used during the next three
years, and each provides that the fed
eral government may aid in the i'm
provement of the roads to the extent OF
one-half the expense; but the Latimer
bill places three commissioners in
charge Of the proposed bureau of high
ways instead of one director.
Senator Latimer's speech was clear
and convincing. He discussed the ques-
tion along the usual lines. He answered
the charge of unconstitutionalty" by
citing the fact that congress had ap-
propriated and the government had
spent many millions for road-building
in the early part of the last century.
He also pointed out that the govern
ment continually uses the public roads
as postroads and argued that 1t was not
only constitutional but just that 1t
should help to construct and maintain
them.
| N 1txn atNr ottvtn M n ~
lied the arguments for national aid
as follows:
First Because the history of road
building demonstrated that a complete
system Of public roads has never been
constructed In any country except by
the aid of the general government
Second. Because the revenues of the
government are raised largely upon ar
ticles consumed by all of the people
thereby distributing taxation equally
and as all the people could contribute
to the construction and improvement
Of the roads, 1t is only by federal aid
that this can be accomplished.
Third. Because 1t Is the duty ol
the federal government to bear its JUS
proportion Of the expense for the CON
struction and improvement of the
roads which 1t uses for the delivery o
the mails and for military purposes II
time of war.
Fourth. Because better roads are {
national necessity; they closely con
= cern the general welfare OF the nation
and are therefore a proper object o
national aid.
Fifth. Because a surplus Of abou
$200,000,O00 is lying idle in the treasur,
which belong to the people and shoul
be expended for their benefit in a man
ner which will accomplish the creates
good to the largest number.

MOISTURE IN BUTTER.
Maximum Of Water Content Fixed
by the Government and Adopted
by Many Municipalities.

Some time ago the government made
a ruling on the water content allowed
in butter and put 16 per cent. as the
highest Recently butter dealers in Chi
cago have had their attention called to
this matter by the government officials
having such matters in charge. Some
creamery butter was found In Chicago
having q water content of "a per cent.
Some ladle butter and some whey butter
also came under the ban of the law. 1t
will be we'll for all makers of butter for
the general market to take heed to this
ruling, as they may otherwise subject
themselves to heavy fines. II butter is
made that has too much water In II, It
will be far better to keep II on the farm
and consume 1t there than send It to
market. Butter that Is churned at from
80 to 65 degrees probably never has a
moisture content In excess of that al
lowed by the law. It is far otherwise
with butter churned at say 80 degrees,
as the higher the churning point the
greater the amount OF water incorpor-
ated. In the past some butter makers
have taken advantage Of this fact to
work into their butter an unusual
amount of water. Hence laws were
made establishing maximum standard
for the moisture content.-Farmers' Re-
view.

spikes and nails, and the next day be-
gan to erect his silo, and in two more
days the silo was completed ready to
receive the silage corn, remarks a
writer in Hoard's Dairyman.
We see no reason why this silo Is
not a perfect silo in every particular,
and as good in every way as one cost
ing several hundreds of dollars, and
which would take weeks to erect. When
perfect silo can be built as cheaply
and as quickly as was this one, we see
no reason why anybody may not have
silage II he wills. This style of silo Is
the octagon shape. or eight-sided, and
ceiled perpendicular with two thick
nesses of inch hemlock boards with felt
paper between. A silo, IL feet In diam
eter and "a feet high, will not cost more
than $25, foundation included. Such a
silo calls for 1000 feet of good hem
lock boards, 800 feet 2x7's. with felt
and nails. The expense Of roof and
foundation will be the same as for any
other style Of silo.
A low foundation of stone and ce-
ment is first built, then the sills are
placed on and the corners nailed. Then
the boards are set up at the corners
and plumbed with level that works
vertically. One man holds the joist on
the outside where 1t belongs, placed
two feet apart and nailed from the in
side. The joists are spiked together
at the corners as the work progresses
for the first 12 feet; then the upper Sec
ton is continued in the same way. A
number of joists can be sawed with a
crosscut saw, by punching them to.
gether, thus ensuring even lengths. II
will be seen that the joists and boards
at the corners all have the same slant
or angle Of 45 degrees. This style OF
silo saves latching with iron hoops, OF
the tedious method Of making wooden
hoops for the round silo. Each range
Of octagons forms the hoops, and the
octagon avoids corners, and has every
advantage that the circle has.

Utterly Impossible.

Uncle Daniel Harmons pastor was
vigorous temperance advocate. For
years and years he had preached to
the old man about the virtues of total
abstinence, but had never succeeded
in convincing his parishoner that it
was wisest and best for him to part
company with the "cussed stuff" At
last one day, after long persuasion,
the minister managed to extract from
the old man a promise that he would
not drink another drop. The Satur-
day night following the day on which
this promise was obtained the parson
met Uncle Dan on the street with a
basket of groceries in one hand and a
tell-tale "little brown jug' in the
other.

"Set dat jug down-set it right

The old man put the basket and the
jug down. Then, strengthening up
he said

Beauty Counts for Much.

A beautiful and valuable farm across
the way at one time could only be ap-
preached by weed-grown lane, 1t
was bought by Woodworking farmer
with little surplus money, but plenty
of determination. BY little thought
and work he changed the bare front
yard into attractive, park-like grounds.
He hauled gravel at odd times, and set
out a row of shade trees along the
driveway. Smoothly-clipped sod took
the place of the weeds along the lane.
Taken altogether his place now has an
air OF dignity that 1t did not possess
at one time.-Farm Journal.

A FEW ORCHARD HINTS.

Keep an eye ON the young orchard
and the rabbit.
Fruit that is not picked until over
ripe is already near the end of its life
history and will deteriorate rapidly un-
less stored soon after picking in low
temperature.
The generally short fruit crop In Eu-
rope last year will make an opportunity
for American dried fruit exporters.
Spain was the only European country
having a large crop.
The big red American apple has long
been a favorite in Germany-even to
the remote comers, while the fine Cali
fornia dried fruit, now for sale in every
grocery, is indispensable to the average
household.

The COW ought to be kept cleaner
than the horse. This is difficult be-
cause of the habits of the animal, but
for this reason the cows should re-
ceive more care. Their fanks should
be kept free from manure; they
should be brushed, and the bag should
be wiped with a damp cloth or sponge
just before milking to prevent dirt
from falling into the milk. The
amount of dirt and filth that gets into
the milk from the COW is surprising
and Is one of the chief causes of the
rapid spelling of milk. To reduce this
still further, good dairymen are be-
ginning to use special pails.-Prof. W..
III. Conn, in Farmers Review.
