from the effects produced It is almost

Since Friday there has been a
steady stream Of the brown men from

Books and READING.

II you are to make a silk purse, you
must have the silk. You cannot make a
reader of good books out of any human
material that comes along. You must
catch a mind proper for the job. Not
all good minds are adapted to much
reading. You find very able people who
read few books and mostly trash and
people of less ability who read more
and much better ones. You find also
interesting differences in the facility
with which different people take in the
sense Of printed words. Some people
from childhood read very much faster
and with less effort than others. Their
eyes seem to connect quicker with their
brains, and their perception of words
and rows of words is almost instanta.
neous. Other people never entirely get
past the need of prOnouncing mentally
each word.-E. S. Martin in Harper's

USE THE ROAD DRAG NOW
The Road Drag Proves that Good
Roads Cost Less than Poor
Ones.

From now on the earth road drag
should be used after every rain on the
clay and loan roads of Wisconsin,
This is also the proper time to do
work with the road machine in order
that the roads may have the whole
summer in which to get packed and
hardened with the aid of the drag.
The drag will do more to keep earth
roads in condition after they have
once been given q proper shape and
slope than nry other tool known to
road builders. Drags can be made
by anyone very cheaply, and the cost
of keeping u mile road in condition
will vary from So to SO year.
The Highway Division of the Geo
logical Survey has published pam
phlet giving directions and dimen-
siOns for making drags, and infOrma-
ton as to what they will do and when
and how to use them. Every farmer
and superintendent who has a partic
ularly bad piece of road to contend
with should send to Madison for IL
free copy of this pamphlet and make
and use drag this summer.
The drag has proved that good
roads cost less than poor ones. Each
community owes it to itself to try at
least one drag this summer. The i'm
provement In the general condition of
the roads of Missouri, Iowa and lii
nOis, as we'll as other states, produced
by it's use has been marvellous, and it
is believed the results in Wisconsin
will be just as remarkable if the drag
is given fair chance.

when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
