ESSENTIALS OF A HONE.

ESSENTIALS or A HOME.
What are the three essentials Of
home?
There are many essentials. but II you
were shut up to just three things what
would you select?
woman's club Of Chicago debated
that question for half day and reach
ed no conclusion.
One woman held that the three es.
sentials are a good temper. a good
mother and the wife In charge of the
finances. which raised the Scriptural
question as to who is the head of the
house. The majority appeared to think
that Paufs idea of the husbands SUI
premacy Is out Of date.
Another Of the women held that the
essentials are "a good mother, a good
cook and trained nurse" This left
the man entirely out of the question.
Either he was not regarded as abso-
lutely essential or he was taken for
granted. And 1t was suggested that a
woman might be a good mother, cook
and nurse and at the same time a very
| poor wife.
One woman timidly limited at good
husband as one essential, but not much
attention was paid to her contribution
Late in the afternoon minister hap
pened In. He was asked his opinion.
He replied, "A man, a woman and q
cook stove"
Whereat the women applauded the
rather cute solution and ended the de-
bate.
Evidently 1t did not occur to them
that man, woman and q cook stove
might be the essentials Of home. but
that they might also be the essentials
Of dive.
One Of the Chicago newspapers took
up the discussion and asked for con-
tributions. Many answers were given
and the one that was finally adopted
as the best was this: "A man, a wo
man and baby"
But this answer Is open to the OBJ
lection mentioned to the reply of the
minister.
1t seems to us the solution is simple
and 1t Is strange so many people should
have missed 1t. Narrowed down TO the
absolute factors, the three essentials
of u home are:
A husband. a wife and Lo1E.
Is 1t not SO?

RECKLESS AARON BURR.

hints ON
ROAD WORK
Office Of Public Roads Tells
How to Make Model
Roads
PIoW, Scfapef, Grader and
Split Low Drag Are Friends
Of Road OVeFseef

While the American road builders
are as capable of constructing good
roads as those of any country of the
old world, they have not been as
Loyalty supported as the men of
those countries in maintaining the
highways after completion, and the
deplorable state of many hundred
thousand miles of road is thus ac-
counted for. County and township
officials may at the outset stand the
expense of having road built, but
they strenuously object when asked
to provide funds to rebuild the road
that has been allowed to go to ruin.
1t is important that farmers learn
of the benefits to be derived from
good earth roads; that county
boards be impressed with the need
of proper maintenance of the same,
and that road builders and over
seers learn how best to care for the
roads in their charge.
The persistent and powerful en-
emies OF earth roads are water and
narrow tires. and the constant eff
fort of the men in charge Of the
roads should be to guard against
Y 500 scet r,,ct I've effects and remedy
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-03-29

been found to be of greatest assis-
lance in this work are the pleW, the
drag scraper, the wheel scraper, the
road grader, and the split-log drag.
With sandy soil and a subsoil
of clay, or clay and gravel, deep
blowing so as to raise and mix the
clay with the surface soil and sand
will prove beneficial. The combina-
ton forms a sand-cly road at
trif1ing expense. On the other hand,
If the road is entirely of sand a
mistake will be made if it is plowed
unless clay can be added. Such
blowing would merely deepen the
sand, and at the same time break
up the small amount of hard sur
face material which may have form
ed. If the subsoil is clay and the
surface scant in sand or gravel,
blowing should not be resorted to,
as it would result in a clay surface
rather than one of sand or gravel.
A road foreman must know not only
what to pillow and what not to plow,
but how and when to pillow. If the
road is of the kind which according
to the above instructions should be
plowed over its whole width, the
best method is to run the first fur
row in the middle of the road and
work to the sides, thus forming a
crown. Results from such blowing
are greatest in the spring or early
summer.
In bitches pillow can be used to
good advantage, but should be fol-
lowed by a scraper or grader. To
make wide, deep bitches nothing bet
ter than the ordinary drag scraper
has yet been devised. For hauls UNI
der 100 feet, or in making fills"
it is especially servicable. 1t is a
mistake, however, to attempt 20 ham
die long haul material with this
scraper, as the wheel scraper is bet
Ter adapted to such work. For
hauls Of more than 500 feet, a wagon
should be used.
The machine most generally used
IN road work is the grader, or road
machine. This machine is especial
y useful in smoothing and crown
~ y n -
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-03-29

of soil should not be disturbed with
a grader. 1t is also a mistake to
use grader Unfortunately and
to pull material from bitches upon
sand-clay road. Not infrequently
turf. soil and silt from ditch bottoms
are piled in the middle of the road
in ridge, making mudholes a GER
tainty. 1t is important in using
grader to avoid building up the road
too much at one time. A road grad
ually built up by frequent use of the
grader will last better than if com
pleted at one operation. The fore
man frequently thinks his road must
be high in the first instance. He
piles up material from ten inches
to foot in depth only to learn, with
the arrival of the first rain, that he
has furnished the material for as
many inches of mud. All material
should be brought in thin layers,
each layer wei puddled and firmly
packed by roller or artffic before the
next is added. A common mistake
is to crown too high with the road
machine on morrow road.
The split log drag should be used
TO I'LL in ruts and smooth the road
when not too badly washed. The
drag possesses great merit and is
SO simple in construction and oper-
alton that every farmer should have
one. A special article will he
published later telling how to make
and use the drag.
