Experts say that span Of twenty
five feet or less can be bridged with
a fiat culvert of cement at low cost
and that the work is lasting The main
essentials in the cement culvert, be-
yond the first-class material, Of course,
are the submerged cutoff wall at each
end to prevent undermining and the
wing walls at each end. In every sec
tion there are masons who are famil-

highway Overseers should consult
these men before investing money in
the old-time and expensive wooden
culverts. The illustration shows the

Small Farming.

1t Is not always the man who has
200 800 or 500 acres of land who is
making the most money in proportion
to tie amount he has invested In it,
There are those who with 10. Is, 20
or % acres. ire making more than the
average farmer with five or ten times
that amount of land AS rule it
is because the farmer has a part Of
his means reserved as working CAPT
tai. With 1t he can secure labor, i'm
plements, fertilizers and all that is
necessary to bring his little farm up
to the highest point of successful pro-
duction. Many of our farmers would
do better to sell half their land at
even half the price and devote the
money thus acquired to better man
aging the remainder of their farm,
than to pay taxes upon the entire
amount they now farm or rather half
farm.

Potatoes from Small Seed.

Considerable argument is rife
among writers as to the relative value
of small and medium or large tubers,
for use as seed. 1t Is claimed that
the small tuber will often generally,
perhaps) produce as large and fine re-
CULTS as the larger tubers used for
seed. We believe this claim is open
to question at least beyond the first
generation, for 1t is safe to say that
degeneration can only be the result
from planting the small tubers num-
ber of seasons in succession. This
seems to be n logical conclusion to
reach. On the other hand, it Is quite
as logical to assume that the fine me-
dium or large tuber, containing as 1t
must all the vigor and fine points Of
the variety will produce tirst-class
progeny and, we believe, this is es-
sentially the case when the seed tu-
bers are selected from ones own prod
uct and selected at the proper time and
properly cared for. II the seed pota-
foes are selected from the bin, be the
selection from small or the large tu-
bers, In the spring just about the time
they are wanted for use, 1t must not be
expected that they will give as good
results as those which have been prop
erly selected in the fall and properly
cared for. There is decided saving
of time, money and fertilizer in the
careful selection of the seed potatoes,
as any one will discover who will take
the necessary trouble.-Exchange.

The Farm TooIshop.

1t Is the exception, rather than the
rule, to find shop as a branch of
farm work nowadays. We run to the
store for any little thing we want pay
two prices for it and lose valuable
time. Our fathers had all of the small
tools In the shop and could make any
repairs not of serious nature on any
tool or appliance Of the farm and do it
quickly and ineXpensively. Our hired
help are kept busy on rainy days 60
ing over tools and wagons, painting
and repairing. If the harness breaks
there are waXed ends of thread ready
for use or some rivets to repair larger
breaks. The shop contains small
anvil and a wise as well as a wooden
clamp in which to hold the ends Of
leather when sewing them. Nails,
screws, bolts, hinges and the like are
kept in small numbers, but in various
sizes. Oils, monkey wrenches, chlsels,
hammers and the like are always
there and we are prepared for any
small trouble. A very small corner
Of the barn is large enough for tho
shop, and 1t will pay to begin now to
fit up such place, adding tools as
one can.

CHAPTER XXI.

In all his life Roy never hated Mrs.
Talbot so cordially and so intensely as
he did when she uttered that short laugh.
1t was laugh that meant so much
Contemptuous disbelief in mankind, tri-
umphant confirmation of the suspicious
of the world, the ruin of Kittens fair
name all seemed to be comprised in that
short, sneering outburst of ill-timed hi-
larity.
Felicia. on the contrary, seemed op-
pressed with despair at her Cousins most
unexpected answer. She sank down into
chair with look of helpless distress,
and tears gathered thickly in her eyes.
"Oh, Roy" she cried, don't, don't say
that, it cannot be true-don't say it."
"Why should l not say it?' he an
swered, a little defantly, because of that
other woman who sat by with a sneer
upon her lips, "it is quite true. l do
know where Mrs. Desmond is now. Why
should l deny it? She was in great
trouble. She sent for me because l am
her oldest friend, and l helped her to
leave town and to 60 to place where she
wished to stay for little time"
"And where is that, pray2"
THAT is her secret and mine," he an
swered frowning. And then Mrs. Talbot
laughed again.
She got up and shook out her skirts,
and prepared to take her leave of Fe-
licia.
at won't wash, Sir Roy, It won't
wash!" she said, with odious laugh still
upon her lips. "Will it, Felicia, dear?'
II don't see why you should doubt my
cousins word" said Felicia, rather dog
gedly; there is nothing extravagant in
what he has told us. He is Mrs. Des.
mond's Oldest friend. If she was in trou.
BILE 1t was quite natural that she should
send to him"

During late years farming com
munities are giving much attention to
the public highways, realizing that 1t
is money well expended. One of the
chief expense accounts has been for
culverts and these are quite as high
when the opening to be bridged is mar
row, for the reason that less expensive
and, much lighter lumber Is used
hence the culvert must be renewed at
frequent intervals. As the cost Of lum-
Der increases, the cost of cement and
