How to Make n Good Road Grader

HOW 10 MAKE n GOOd hOau trader.
A good road grader can be made fol
about S. that will make good grade
quicker and with fewer teams than the
usual $500 graders. Nail solidly to
gether three planks in the form of a
letter A then, on one side fasten a bar
of iron or steel about inches wide, let
ting it project down about two inches
on the other side fasten on a similar
iron with a slight curve outward, pro
jecting only about one-half inch below
plank. Now plow two or three burrows
on each side of the place where you
want your grade.
Then hitch onto the point of your
grader with a large clevis and chain
so that you can adjust the draw pull
it with the side that has the straight
iron against the bank and adjust your
weight so as to hold it there. 1t will
move these burrows to the width of
the scraper..
Two more burrows can then be plow-
ed and so on, till the width is all
that is wanted then start back near
the center again and proceed as before.
A higher grade can be built with this
than with the ordinary grader, in less
time and with less power.

A steady increase in the membership
of the Grange is noticed in most of the

has not taken 50 well with the western

penetrating into every section and it
soon will have large membership.

stands for are being better understood
and its influence is widening in proper

WOMEN SHOULD BE JURORS.
By Frederick Upham Adams,

Our entire system of trying persons accused
of high crimes is mockery of justice, and
intelligent foreigners are unable to understand
why we cling TO it. Our judicial machinery is
cumbersome, expensive and faulty in every
essential particular. 1t is impossible to make
a defense Of the jury system as exemplified
in modern practice and results. The average
metropolitan jury is a composite of ignorance

Points on Prairie Soil.

All who have taken up prairie farms
will recognize the truth of the follow
ing statement of Professor Ten Eyck,
Of Kansas, in regard to them:
When the wild prairie is first broken
the soil is mellow, moist and rich, pro-
ducing abundant crops. After a few
years of continuous grain cropping and
cultivation, the physical condition Of
the soil changes-the soil grains be-
come finer; the soil becomes more COM
pact and heavier to handle; it dries
out quicker than it used to and often
turns over in hard clods and Jumps
when plowed. The perfect filth and
freedom from clods, so characteristic
of virgin soils, is always more or less
completely restored whenever land has
been laid down to grass for a sufficient
length Of time

The Granary of South America.


The Argentine Republic is best
known of all the South American coun-
tries because it produces cereals and
beef, mutton, wool and hides in COM
petition with the United States, Can
ada and European countries; yet it is
difficult to keep pace with the enormous
growth Of Argentine agriculture during
the last few years, just as very many
persons are still unable to grasp the
fact that instead of being little coun-
try somewhere down in South America,
it is twenty-eight times the size Of
Ohio, and that while in the northern
regions it produces sugar and other
tropical products, yet as a whole it is
to be viewed as another Mississippi
valley. The Argentine minister of ag-
riculture estimates the wheat crop for
the current year at $685., 900 tons, the
area under cultivation being 14,02S,000
acres. The foreign commerce this year
will exceed $55O,OO0,O00.

The wheat producer is told in one pa
per that it would be best for him to
hold his crop for better prices. In an
other paper equally as reliable he is
told that every decline of one cent
per bushel on wheat puts it near the ex-
port price, and it is the price abroad
that must determine crop values as
long as we have a surplus" In the
multitude of such councils it will stand

About the OILY binding law some
states have foor keeping weeds cut

not like to have weeds grow along the
highway contiguous to their farms but
now and then you will find a farmer
who is perfectly willing to let them
grow. There ought to be a rigid law
for the latter. The former is not under
the law at all he does not need it.
