Keep the Road Drag Going.

Bad roads are an extravaganza that
no farming community can afford.
Just what they cost in unnecessary
expenses 1t takes but O moment to de-
termine.
A team and driver are reasonably
worth SO a day. and by the use of
these 1t is possible TO deliver to mar.
ket from your home 100 bushels OF
corn. Hauling over good roads, the
cost OF delivery Is 3 cents per bushel.
But If. In consequence of bad roads,
but fifty bushels can be delivered, the
cost is doubled and the difference is
what the impossible roads cost you.
Continue this calculation. applying II
to the hauling of all your crops, and
1t quickly becomes apparent that II
amounts to very burdensome tax.
Good roads help In every way; they
promote soeiability by making friends
and relatives accessible, and by means
| of them 1t Is easier to reach the
schools and churches and to generally
do and enjoy the things which make
| life really worth living.

the hogs and confine them pretty close

Ing so a simple ring In the snout will

1t is great mistake to mark 6 hog
by mutilating his ears. Better use a
metal tag
Successful hog raisers will always
have clover or alfalfa pastures for
their animals.
Every hog pasture ought to have an
open shed on high point of ground
for shelter from the hot sun. Leave
all sides open so the air can pass over
them.
Keep the pigs growing from the day
they are born until they go to the
slaughtering pen.
The man who imagines that he can
produce fat and lean bacon in streaks
by feeding one week and starving the
next will be disappointed.

The unaccountable allurement which
the rushing waters of Niagara Falls
hold for persons having suicidal in
clinations, has raised a controversy
| between the United States and Canada.
Enough Of these suicides take place
every year to make the matter one
that needs to be dealt with. A large
number of those taking their own
lives are identified by clothing or by
letters, but the plunge Is so great.

tons of water in motion at terrific
speed so great, that in most cases it
is very difficult to assure a true iden.

1t is a somewhat curious fact that
the bodies of those who have per-
formed the act of combined bravery
and cowardice follow a sort of beaten
track. When the authorities learn
of suicide they first go to the land

has been in the habit of bringing
these melancholy derelicts to the top
fthe bank at an expense to itself of
$50 or $40 apiece and of interring
them separately in Fairview Cemetery

such cases.
The Canadian officials have adj
dressed a request to the American
park commissioners to pay at least a
proportfonate share of the expense.
There is one very good argument adj
vanced in favor of this position Most
of the suicides take the plunge on the
American side. 1t is only the action

Reports come from Ontario that the

weed enemy with which the farmer
has to contend 1t has been spread
from one farm to another by the
threshing machines, the numerous
seeds being easily carried. One meth

is to SOW winter rye in September and

can be followed in June by rye, tur-
nips or buckwheat. In this way crops
are secured and the SOW thistle
fought at the same time.

breeds as light Brahmas On an av.
