Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what tre-
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too.
Here's good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
al Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream Or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for man who needs
yigor and strength for long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
pientifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive ia
tigue. There is sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china. 20

int resting lectures ever delivered in

ing tomorrow evening by Professor
Edgar E. Hewitt. Professor Hewitt's
lecture will be under the auspices of

corning the cliff jewellers and other

that the cities of eastern Washington

THE COST OF BAD ROADS.

l.. w. Page. the United States
good roads expert, has computed
/ the waste in dollars and cents which
| annually results because Of the poor
| roads throughout the country. Mr.
Pages somewhat startling figures
! place the excessive cost OF hauling
| agricultural AID similar products
over the roads throughout the Uni
ted states at $250,000. 900.
In arriving at these figures he
| has estimated that there must be
hauled over wagon reads every "car
| loads which aggreg: te 265,000, 900
tons, which is 80 per cent OF the
railway -OnGagc Of the country. rhe
average haul from farm to railroad
station is ga miles and the average
cost is from % to IS cents per mile.
Comparing this with the rate for
ocean transportation during 1905
and 1906 when the ate was the
highest ever known and it is found
that il costs a farmer more TO haul
wheat the "a miles from his farm
to the railroad than il does to ship
the wheat from New York to Liver
pool. He makes a further compari-
son of the cost here and IN England,
France and Germany, where the cost
averages 10 cents per mile and in
some cases falls as low as. cents,
and the amount of waste from bad
roads becomes still more impressive
Though probably few people have
had any idea of what the actual
waste by reason of bad roads
amounts to, there are remaining
very few who are not fully educat-
ed TO the necessity for general
betterment of roadways. Any dis
agreement on the subject would
arise from a varying viewpoint as to
most advisable methods for secur-
ing road Improvement Mr.. Page of
fers the suggestion that every state
should have its roads surveyed,

tice in twenty-three of the states
where salaries for such engineers
vary from 50, 500 to $4,000 a pear
He urges with convincing argument
that wagon roads should be con
structcd with as much care as would
be necessary for a railroad bed
grading being employed wherever
necessary to eliminate the steep as

as much as the general /
of the roads through
out the year are responsible for the .
excessive cost of wagon transporta.
tion.
AS il Is no longer question of
the advantages of good roads over
bad ones, it is not question of i
economy, since the estimates prove
that bad roads are much mora ex-
pensive than good ones would be.
The only thing which now remains
to determine is what method OF
procedure is best.-Fort Worth
