REPAIRS OF OPEN DlTcHEs.
John T. Stewart Says It Is Economy to
Make Them Frequently.

The argument is often used that a
ditch will not remain open. but will
fill, only serving it's purpose for a 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

lawns and shade trees require atten.

wires break. farm machinery lasts a

is only in line with other improve

looked after, the less time and expense

GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.
u 10 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 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 a source of pride
and profit. There is vast difference
between a Colorado road-bed and the
fiat one, free from stone, stretching
across the prairies of Illinois or some
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 good
investment, declares the Prairie Farm.
err. A realization of this truth seems
gradually dawning upon the communi.
ty everywhere, and this is a 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-
ton must be accepted.
Meantime, we may learn something
by 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
being made which it is hoped will
eventually result in satisfying the rea-
sonable requirements of every kind
of traffic.
AS to the cost of maintaining tho
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
all the roads in Hamp.
shire for the year was $316,00O
These appear grave sums, but the
people of England find the expend.
ture profitable. Eventually our own
views will broaden on the good roads
question.

Must Be Acknowledged Favorite Trim
ming of the Season.

Buttons are a most favored trim
ming. They are used not only upon
tailored gowns and summer frocks,
but upon the more elaborate evening
costumes. They are ofttimes placed
the full length of the clinging skirt
at one side, in the center front or in
the center back. This line of buttons
is continuation of the button trim
ming upon the bodice portion, and is
one of the little tricks employed to
give the much-desired long -line-eff
feet.
There is ample opportunity for the
enthusiastic needlewoman to make
buttons which will prove feature of
her costume. An old-fashioned method
was to embroider upon the covered
button-mould tive-pointed star This
requires time, but is very simple to
make, and. if the embroidery silk be
in tone darker than the covering of

KEEPING BEES FOR PIN MONEY.
Experience of One Woman with the
Little Honey Gatherers.

Several years ago cousin gave me
colony of bees. I brought them
home on the cars, q miles, and was
having honey enough to winter on they
died, Then l bought a swarm of a
neighbor for three dollars and had
them put in the same hive. The first
year they gave two strong swarms and
from those soon had 90 colonies.
Then came a cold and windy winter,
and as | did not protect them, but
left them on their summer stands,
they all died but five colonies.
Since then, continues the writer in
Farm and Home, l have given them
better care by filling sacks with chaff
for top of hive and set on empty SUI
pers with covers. l place short boards
wrapped with pieces of carpet or cloth
between hives, which are showed close
together. Loose boards cover the
whole and are held down with stones
to protect the hives from getting wet.
Fifteen colonies have been the most
l have had, as the winters have been
too severe and I have lost more Or
less.
