A FEW TIMELY ooN'Ts.
What the Farmer Should Remember
Not to Do.

Don't throw forks farelessly on the
noors of passageways in barns. That
Is a sort OF carelessness that may al
most be classed as criminal.
Don't neglect TO keep all wheeled
vehicles well creased. A wheel that
cries out for lubricant is n good many
pounds added TO the load OF your
horse.
Don't throw forks carelessly on the
and other trimmings and refuse from
orchard. garden and truck patch. for
thereby you destroy many harmful
insects and seeds.
Don't invest any money in gold
mines. coffee plantations. copper
works and the like. thousands OF miles
from your home. and managed by
men you have never seen. BY taking
this advice you may possibly miss the
opportunity of getting enormously
rich. but 1t is altogether likely that by
needing 1t you will save money enough
to buy that piano your daughter has
been wanting or the new buggy Nou
promised your son II he would stick
10 the farm.
Don't allow any line fence squabble
or any family difference to come up to
spoil your Thanksgiving feast. 1t is
always n wise rule to think twice be-
fore you speak once; and II you will
take the precaution to think three
times. you are pretty sure to get
through life without uttering any
harsh words. and that means serene
and sweet existence which is, after
all. the only thing worth while.
Don't speak in sharp. peremptory
tones to your children. You won't al.
low the hired man to use such tones
to the horses lest 1t makes them ner.
vous, nor to the COWS lest 1t interfere
with their milk production. Your
sons and daughters are OF more value
than many horses, or the cattle upon
q thousand hills.-Farm Journal

Washington. - The car shortage
throughout the United States will be
investigated by the interstate COM
merce commission. Commissioner
Franklin X. Lane. who has been look
ing into this subject, said that the
commission would first take up the
situation in the northwest among the
wheat carrying roads. Farmers in
many states complain they are unable
to get their grain to market in time to
share in the high prices now being
paid IN Minneapolis and Chicago.
The commission has issued circu.
lar asking grain growers to submit
specific information regarding the
amount Of freight offered for shipment
and the reasons given for not trans

Have you good pile of fire wood

Root up the old, unproductive fruit
trees and plant in their place young.

Place For Lona Ladder.

It is often a puzzle to know where
to put the long ladder when It is not
in use. By spiking two solid pieces
of board about foot long to the posts
in the back of the barn shed, high
enough up to be out of the way Of the
cattle, and then hanging the ladder on
them, you will solve the problem sug-
gests Farm Journal. But these strips
Of board will not be Of any use, unless
you keep the ladder on them.

brooklyn Uptown Weekly.)

| kbrooklyn Uptown Weeky.)
The writer OF this article has given
considerable thought to the good roads s
proposition as embodied in the Brown.
low-Latimer bill, and has reached the
only conclusion possible-that Congress
ought to quickly pass this bill ir to
law. Indeed, we do not believe there
can be suggested a single good reason
why it should not be done. We all
know that the highways are as essential
to our civilization as the mills which
grind our wheat and corn are essential
to our physical comfort. We know tpat
every pound OF farm produce is to be
moved over the highways before i. can
reach the railroad or the waterway fer
shipment; must first traverse the high
ways before it can reach the consumer.
The road conditions in all but two or
three States are deplorabIe, in many
sections worse than when first opened
up, and In few sections are they at all
satisfactory. The States have dealt
with tbs highway question from the
beginning of their existence as States.
No solution has yet been found. The
reason is not far to seek. The burden
OF road construction and maintenance
has always fallen upon the farmers
those least able to bear it, while those
equally benefited and best able to bear
the expense have escaped almost wholly
the obligation. The solution Is in an
equal distribution of cost. Thls can be
reached In but one way. The Govern
m snt OF the United States lays duties
on consumption. In this way the bulk
OF the money coming into the nationa!
treasury Is derived from all classes, in
town and country alike. Every body
contributes to it. The proposed good
roads legislation covers the case OF nec-
esslty, because il takes back to the peo-
pie In equitable share that which they
have contributed to the government
and provides for Improvements that
will strengthen all our institutions and
make the country more prosperous than
it has ever been. The government
uses the highways as it 1t owned them
in the fee simple, and yet contributes
not one cent to their maintenance. 1t
sends its agents along the country
roads, and permits no one to impede
their progress. At the beginning Con-
gress authorized the establishment of
post roads. The government has not
established such roads, but uses those
already in existence, claiming unlm-
peded right-of-way wherever it chooses
to go. The argument is not far fetched
that the government owes it as an OBJ
legation to the people to aid in syste-
matte road building in all States, con-
tributing In this way to the general
welfare, and furtherng the purposes
for which government itself is sustained
by Its loyal citizens. The friends of
national aid to road improvement only
ask the fair discharge of government
obligation.

KILLS LIKE LIGHTNING,

HEART COMES On.

Those pains you feel when you first
arise In the morning-aching pains in
the joints, shooting pains In the muscles
are signs of warning. They are dan

trouble that il not removed may affect

deadly Rheumatism of the Heart,

Better get rid of the cause at once.
Rheumatism and its kindred diseases

with oils or liniments will not cure it;
it is an internal disease, and can be
