Shale Rock For q Park Road.

About mile and a half Of drive
way in North park, Springfield ILL.,,
was built in 1907 and surfaced with
shale at cost Of 1876 cents per
square yard. The shale was spread
eight inches thick and compressed to
six inches by rolling. 1t was hauled
from mines, one mile and a half
away and another two miles. Haul
ing from the former cost 40 cents and
from the latter 60 cents per cubic
yard, two yards being hauled at a
load. The sod cut from the line Of

Feeding Whole Grain.

Bulletin 242 Of the Michigan expert
ment station offers some exact data
upon the subject Of feeding whole
grain to cows, heifers and calves.
When whole corn was fed to cows %
per cent was unnasticated, when fed
to heifers 10 per cent and when fed to
calves per cent. Chemical analysis
showed no change in composition of
the unmasticated parts, so it is safe
assumption that the animal derives no
benefit from grain that passes through
the digestive tract unaltered.

Cleanliness In the Dairy.

There is no excuse for having sedi-
ment at the bottom of q milk vessel
after it has stood for awhile. 1t does
not matter whether milk, cream. but
ter or cheese is the ultimate product
for sale. Any filth in the milk will
ruin the chances of a successful bust
ness in either case. Cleanliness is the
one great thing in successful dairying.
Have preparations made for the thor
ough straining and careful handling of
milk in the most clearly manner.

EFFECT OF GOOD ROADS.
Much Easier to Haul Cotton Now In
Lee County, Ga.


A sight was witnessed at Leesburg,
Ga, the other day that would have
been impossible a few years ago Two
mules from five miles in the country
came into town with five bales of cot
ton. Several years ago the particular
road Travelled was in places an almost
bottomleSS sand bed.
The cOnvicts have been at work on
the road for about four years, and
while the roads lack much yet of be-
ing what they should be, still the diff
ference IS great and markedly notice
able when former times are compared
The hardest part of the pull was after
the team hit the streets Of Leesburg
Lee county has about thirty cOnvicts
at work steadily on her roads. 1t is
hoped that she will soon have some of
the best roads in the state.

GOOD ROAD SUGGESTION.
Kansas Man Says Put State Agricul
tural College In Charge.


Several articles have appeared in
the papers recently on the subject Of
good roads, and always with the
thought Of a lot Of new officers and
commissions. Why duplicate officers
all the time? Instead of creating
new commissions and new set Of of
ficers the sensible and economical
thing to do would be to grant the Ag
ricultural college funds to be used for
this specific purpose, writes ]. X. Mil
Ter of Manhattan Kan, to the Kansas
City Star Plans have been furnished
free to county commissioners, town
ship trustees and road supervisors.
Special meetings have been held in
many counties, and the subject of good
roads has been placed on the pro-
grams of hundreds of farmers insti-
tutes.
A bulletin prepared for members of
farmers institutes in Kansas covers
the whole subject of rOadmaking,
dirt roads, macadamiZed roads, bridges,
culyertS, concrete, stone, iron, wooden,
etc. All we need now is a few thou
sand dollars year to employ spe-
cial highway engineer to work with
the county engineers and commission
ers and others, prepare plans and go
out to the different communities that
want improved roads and help start
the work The entire expense could
be met by q small state license on au

Clean Pals For Calves.

When the annual appropriation bill
of the department Of agriculture was

sentative Benjamin Humphreys or
Greenville, Miss, made the eplgram-
matte statement that mo road can
cost the farmers as much as a poor
one" That touched the very kernel
of road economics, for carefuf research

the New York American, that the poor

Therefore. the high protection advocates in Con-
gress succeeded in having embodied in the tarin
measure certain provisions limiting the aCtiv-
tiles of the tariff commissioners. President Taft
has, however, publicly announced his purpose to
have his tariff inquistors probe every phase OF
this huge subject.
For the first SIX months Of it's existence. how
ever the general Tariff Board will be kept busy
with what constitutes the primary purpose of its
existence task that President Taft, revision
lists and protectionists are all agreed must take
precedence over all other phases Of their investi-
cations This undertaking is nothing less than a
worldwide investigation to determine what
countries do and what ones do not discriminate
against the United States in their customs duties
and other laws and regulations. The purpose Of
this is to enable the President to carry out the
maximum and minimum provisions Of the new
tariff law This law provides in a general way
that nations which practice undue discrim-
ination against exports from America will ben
eft by the minimum tariff rates on their prod
ucts entering this country. on the other hand
nations that impose an undue burden on Ameri-
can products-Or more especially that discrin-
mate against American products in favor Of
those of some other country cOuntries-Tiu be
retaliated against by having the maximum tariff
rates imposed on the commodities which they
send to the United States.
The general Tariff Board consists Of three
members, Professor Henry c. Emery OF Yale
University; James B. Reynolds. Of Massachu-
setts, and Alvin II. Sanders Of Chicago. These
officials will not have a definite salary but

work Of the commission This organization Is
TO be perfected just as rapidly possible, in
asmuch as there is a tremendous amount Of
work involved in the preparation Of the report
which must be in the hands Of President Taft
before March 81, 1910
This Tariff Board the personnel OF which was
recently announced by President Taft, is the
organization for which provision was made in
the Payne tariff law. and il viii be remembered
that authorization for this board. which was en-
ergeticany demanded by the President, was
granted by Congress only after lively fight
Opponents Of tariff revision downward. or rather
Senators and Representatives who are strongly
in favor Of high tariff. became suspicious that
the real purpose Of the proposed board was to
probe the whole tariff question and all matters
pertaining thereto. as, for instance the compar-
atiye costs OF production in various countries
The effect Of such research would be TO reopen
the entire tariff question and to make it continu-
ously a live issue before the country. This is
contrary 10 the wishes Of certain interests. which
contend that the tariff question was settled, for
the time being by the Payne BILL and ought to
be allowed 10 stay settled for several years.

That's why Acctylcne Light seems
white-as sunlight does.
That's why you can See pale blue,
pale pink or pale yellow, as clearly
by Acrtylene Light at night as by
Sunlight during the day.
And, that's why plants grow as
fast, and as naturally, under Accty-

Moreover, that's why Arctylene
Light has the same cheering strength

human beings as sunlight, and the
same wholesome eff ct upon ry'sight.
Plants die under continual exp,S-
urc to the red and yellow rays Of
Kerosene, Gasolenc, or City Gaslight,
when denied sunlight.
And they grow into distorted mon
Strosities under the blush or violet
rays Of the Electric (mrrcury) light.
So ther" are subtle things about
/ diff lights which should make
us think seriously which kind of light
we should use every night, of every
year, in our homes.

evil, every night, and every member
of Il family, from growing child to

Acctylcne is the same true Sun
light under which the human race
has developed, and to which it has
adapted itself for centuries,
1t is the cleanest, purest, coolest,
safest, most brilliant, beautiful and
diffusive of all home light.
When once installed it will give
you the same candlc-powrr as you
now secure from Kerosene lamps,
wicks and chimncys for a third less
cost.
1t can be completely installed,
from cellar to garrett on the average
country home, in about two days
time, without the slightest damage to
! walls, ceilings or floors.
Then there will be no more dirty
lamp cleaning, filling. wick snutiing,
nor chimney wiping, no more dis
agreeable smell of stale Kerosene, no
more SCOT on lace curtains, draperies
or walls-no more danger from the
carrying around of lighted hand
lamps.
You can then merely turn tap on
handsome brass wall bracket or
on hanging chandelier, and thus
light up brilliantly or softly, accord
ing to how much you turn it.
