GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.
Il is Fairly Up to the People and
Must Be Solved.

The good roads problem Is fairly
''up to" the people of the United
States. Our country roads, generally,
are a disgrace as compared with those
of older civilized countries, and, with
the vastly diversified conditions ex-
istent here, many new puzzles will
arise which must be solved before our
highways will be source of pride
and profit. There is vast difference
between Colorado road-bed and the
fiat one, free from stone, stretching
other Mississippi valley state. All
kinds of good roads must we have in
this country eventually.
First, we must learn to spend money
on our highways and to recognize the
fact that such expenditure is a good
investment, declares the Prairie Farm
er. A realization of this truth seems
ty everywhere, and this is good por.
tent. The making of better roads all
over the United States is an immediate
necessity and their making and main
tenance will be expensive. This condi-
tion must be accepted.
Meantime, we may learn something
by a study of the methods of making
and cost of maintenance of roads in
countries where conditions are some.
what like those existing in many of
our states.
The American consul at Noting
ham, Frank w. Mahin, furnishes some
interesting data as to parts of Eng
land. The most vexing problem for
road officials, he reports, is what kind
of road to make. Ordinary macadam
is disrupted by the suction of automo-
biles and the heavy weight of traction
vehicles, but is claimed by many driv.
ers to be the best kind for horse traf-
fic. Smooth composition roads seem
durable for motor vehicles, but are
objected to by many horse drivers as
slippery and dangerous. At present
no kind of road appears satisfactory
to both elements, but experiments are
eventually result in satisfying the rea-
sonable requirements of every kind
of traffic.
AS to the cost of maintaining the
roads in different English countries,
the consul gives figures surprising to
Americans. The average cost per mile
of maintaining the roads of Noting.
ham last year was 1922. The cost Of
maintaining all the roads in Hamp-
shire for the year was $4,000.
These appear grave sums, but the
people of England find the expendi.
ture profitable. Eventually our own
views will broaden on the good roads
question.

FARM NOTES.

Rye flour is often used as a dress
ing for skin eruptions. AS mush
with molasses, rye flour has a useful
effect.
Alfalfa should be cut just after it
begins to show bloom. The first cut
ting contains more protein than later
cuttings.
If weeds are plowed under before
they go to seed the plant food they
have stolen will be saved and the
soil benefited by the humus they will
make.
Numerous experiments have shown
that the largest quantity of suitable
fodder per acre can usually be grown
with the stalks in rows three to four
feet apart and six inches in the row.
Provide shelter in the back field
by putting up few boards on four
posts and covering with roofing

REPAIRS OF OPEN BITCHES.
John T. Stewart Says 1t Is Economy to
Make Them Frequently.

The argument is often used that a
ditch will not remain open, but will
fill, only serving its purpose for few
years without additional expense. This
statement is true with nearly all open
drainage, but the same statement will
apply TO nearly all other farm i'm
provements. Buildings require repair.
Ting and repainting every few years,
lawns and shade trees require atten-
tlon every season, fence POSTS rot and
wires break, farm machinery lasts a
certain period and then must be re.
placed by an entirely new article. Con-
sequently the repair Of open bitches
is only in line with other improve
ments. The more carefully they are
looked after, the less time and expense
will be required in these repairs. Ex-
pensive bitches have been dug and left
to take care of themselves, roots from
water rushes and branches from will
lows and cottonwood trees becoming
lodged in small silt deposits. take root
and grow, forming thicket of grass
or bushes catching all drift. AS re-
suit, the ditch fills in rapidly, and in
the course of time the expense OF
cleaning is nearly as great as the first
construction. A little attention and a
few dollars each season would have
kept the channels in perfect condition.
In some localities bitches have been
examined where the bottom was at
or nearly the same elevation as the ad-
Joining low lands. The only appear
ance of ditch was given by the old
spoil banks which had been left lying
along the edge. The farmer, counting
the depth of the ditch from the top
OF these banks. wondered why it did
not drain the land, when 1t was in no
more condition for carrying water
than granary without roof would

AN EXTRA BANG.
The Captain Had One Too Many
Beans in His Pockets.

Military and naval salutes are as
liable to accidents as are other affairs
of well-regulated households, writes
Capt. A. T. Mahan in From Sail to
Steam," and gives an amusing mistake
of his own. LaHdsmen may not know
that the manner of the naval salute is
for the officer conducting it to give the
orders, "Starboard, fire!" Port, fire!"
The discharges alternate from side TO
side, and range from forward to aft. A
man who cannot trust his ear times
the interval by watch; most, however,
trust their counting.
The count is a serious matter. Gun
for gun is automatically as important
as an eye for an eye. My captain had
heard that an excellent precaution was
to provide oneself with number of
dried beans corresponding to the mum.

in one pocket, and as each gun was
fired a bean was transferred to the
other pocket.

Low Lands.

Low lands can be often greatly i'm
proved by making a way for the
water to drain off, even though the
drainage be not resorted to. Tile
draining is always desirable, but for
many reasons. many farmers cannot
drain the land they would. But abun-
dant outlets should be provided, so
that the water may run off without
hindrance. Backwater is one of the
very great causes of short crops en-
many fields.

concrete to surround the rods.

a citizens committee has taken the
matter in hand and is vigorously push
ing the matter.
Ernest Dudley Chase, young man
who lives in the neighborhood, has
had conference with Bella d. Pratt,
the well-known Boston sculptor, who
was a pupil of st. Gaudens, the crea-
tor of the most famous Lincoln me-
mortal Mr. Greene of the park COM
mission had suggested the possibility
of granite shaft, with bronze bas-
relief, and Mr.. Pratt had said that
this was a novel but perfectly prac-
ticable idea, and had proceeded to
work it out with considerable interest.
He was willing to undertake the work
for $4,000.
The committee agreed to push the
matter at once. 1t would have been
easy to raise the required sum then
and there, but, after some discussion,
it was decided that it should be a
children's memorial, to be erected by
money contributed by themselves.
The inscription on it is to read:

1t is planned that each school in the
city shall raise fund, either by dime
or smaller subscriptions, by the CIV
ing of entertainments in the school
halls, or by raising the money in some
other way.
The principals of the high and gram
mar schools, who have proposed the
plan to the pupils, say that they have
responded with enthusiasm. AS the
object is an educational and patriotic

THEN AND NOW.

We do not know all the inside
wheels within wheels in the politics
of the state of Kentucky, but we
would hardly think the former Gov.
ernor Bradley would enjoy his posi-
ton as United States senator by
grace of the treachery of four demo.
cratic representatives in the legisla-
ture who betrayed their constituents
by voting for him. There used to be
a tradition that a very fine sense of
personal honor was a native char
acteristic of the Kentucky gentleman,
but that notion has received a good
many shocks of late by the develop.
ments in Kentucky politics. Or per-
haps the traditional Kentucky gentle.
nan no longer takes part in Kentucky
politics, as he once did.-Great Falls
Tribune.
The situation in Kentucky recalls
an incident in the political history OF
Montana, which failed to provoke
adverse comment by the democratic
press. The election of w. A. Clark
to the United States senate by the
votes of republican members of the
state Legislature was regarded by the
Clark wing of the Montana democ,
racy as a glorious victory.
While the action Of a majority o.
the Kentucky Legislature makes an
addition to the republican member
ship OF the United States senate, it i:
a plain violation of the expressed de
sire OF their constituents. A majorit,
OF the Kentucky voters having ex
pressed their preference for q demo
cratic United States senator, it wa
