Poultry Notes.

A good sprayer comes in handy
in the poultry house, and can be
used to advantage in spraying
trees that do not have the advan-
tage of a poultry run situation.
fMoisten the dust bath slightly
as the fowls natural bath con-
sists of moist dust and not dry,
powdered dust, as is supposed by
the majority of poultry raisers.
Old hens with proper manage
ment will lay a good many eggs,
but with the care that the aver
age farm poultry receives, pullets
are much more profitable egg
producers.
If you make your nests in rows
side by side, have a solid parti-
tion between the nests, for a set
ting hen will steal every egg in
reach of her.
Poultrymen are not planting
so percent Of the fruit trees that
they should. Why this is, re-
mains a mystery, for the'advice

SunflOWer Philosophy.

You cannot make a compliment
big enough to suit some people.
Busy men seem to attract idle
men as surely as molasses attract
flies.
T Don't long to be prominent;
for a prominent man is, a mark
for fools.
Don't try to induce a man to
do that which he doesn't want to
do; he will not do it and he will
hate you besides.
Everybody understands that

The negro has this considera-

One of these days a woman

her husband that he put the cat

Of course you have noticed
how a boy works. his father.
The father announces that he.
will not have a dog around the

ties it'in the barn. Finally the
old man becomes fond of the dog,
and the boy turns it loose.
They say a man went to a dis

The Need of Good Roads.

The good road question contin-
ues to attract widespread inter-
ests, Judging from the extensive
discussion of the subject in the
public press. The proposition
of federal support in this respect
seems to be gaining strength IN
the country at large, and the good
road propositions as presented to
recent congresses are being eX-
amined by interested citizens as
the demand upon the capitol doc
ument rooms at Washington at
tests. These bills seek to enlist
the financial aid of the federal
government in the improvement
of the wagon roads of the coun-
try, the plan being for Uncle
Sam to supply a sum equal to the
sum any State viii supply to
the maximum provided for.
Congressman Brownlow, in eX-
planning the provisions of his bill
said that federal corporation in
the premises was but an order to
distribute the burden Of taxation
necessary to improve the public
highways. HeEmakes this tell
ing point.
So long as welpursue the origi-
nal method of taxation the entire
burden for highway improvement
falls upon the owners of agricul-
tural lands and the persons living
in rural districts. When the
great mass of the people lived in
rural districts this was a just and
equitable distribution of taxes for
these purposes, but w i t h the
changed conditions of the present
day, when one-half of the people
live in cities, and more than one
half of the wealth is concentrat-
ed in these cities and the cOrpor-
ations that are so powerful at the
present time, it is absolutely nec-
essary that some means be devils
ed whereby the revenues required
for the great improvement that
is called for, should be derived
from all the people and resources
of the country as nearly as posi-
BILE, and not rest as heretofore
upon the farming classes, who
are the immediate losers by ev-
cry failure of crops and sufferer
by every decline in of agricul-
tural products.
Another important considera-
tion is that in the last analysis,
the cities and towns benefit from
good roads just as much as the
people living along them. 1t is
to the interest of the merchant
as we'll as of the farmer to have
an improved system of roads
in every part of the country.
The development Of the free
delivery system has served to
bring the people of the country
into closer touch, not only with
the towns, but with the federal
government than ever before.
The government, speaking and
acting for the country at large,
has therefore, direct interest in
the people living in the rural Sec
tions, and benefits to be derived
from good roads would be shared
by all the people.

An Important School Problem.
BY sUPT. W. T. cARRNGToN.

BY sUPT. W. T CARRNGToN.
The compulsory attendance law
has accumulated the need OF more
school revenue. In the cities and
towns more especially are new build
ings and larger teaching force need
ed. In many rural districts, an sddi-
tional room and teacher must be
provided next year. This means
shorter terms OF schools and lower
salaries to teachers il there IL NOS an
increase OF school tax levy or asse.s
cd valuation. Missouri will not take
a backward step In either. There Is
unwise and impolitic tslk In some
quarters about the reduction oistate
tax levy. II the present low rate Of
II cents gives more than isnecesssry
to the proper conduct Of the state
government, let more OF It be appro-
priated to the common schools. A
larger superintendent from the State
Treasury, made more with reference
to the needs and efforts OF the severbl
counties and communities, will help
to solve an important school prob
lem.
Missouri distributed last year 8 "a
per child enumerated. State school
moneys are thus apportioned in most
states. 1t would be better to appor-
ton on enrolment; better still, on
average attendance; better still, on
total attendance, for that would en-
courage longer terms. Perhaps a
combination plan OF distribution
would be still better. Before the
state solves the problem OF equal1'
ing the burdens Of taxation and the
school privileges for the children, .
large state school tax must be levied
and means provided for discovering
the definite needs Of the several coun-
ties and communities and the school
moneys distributed 80 as to stimu-
late each county and community to
put forth the greatest effort within
Its power to bring every child into
school, to provide adequate facilities
and equipment, to maintain a school
not less than eight months and pay
salaries enough to enable teachers to
prepare themselves well and hold
them in the work longer.
