roads in that state, seems to warrant
greater use of oil in road construction.
The experiment was tried on a quar-
ter of a mile of sandy soil, in October
1905. Several applications of oil seem
to have been made, and each applica-
ton was followed by the harrow.
After thus applying one gallon of Oil
to each square yard, the soil seemed
saturated to a depth of from four 10
four and one-half inches. After the
final narrowing, a heavy float was en-
pIoyed to smooth the surface, when
work. was suspended for week. Then
a tWelve-ton roller was used until the
bed seemed thoroughly firm. The
road was closed for a week and then
opened for traffic. While it was firm,
it was not hard; but no injury result
ed from either heavy traffic or sharp
caIked horses driven at rapid gait.
Freezing in winter did not appear to
affect it, and the oil coating seemed
to have the effect of keeping the un-
derlying soil dry enough to prevent
serious heaving by frost. The follow
ing spring, a coat of oil was applied,
and this was lightly narrowed and
foated. When the report was made,
over two years later, the road was in
excellent condition. The grade was
slightly over an inch to the foot and
so we'll rounded that the rain water
quickly ran off. ...

Good Roads Increase
the Value of Farms.
Intelligent Cooperation Neces-
sary to Improve Highways.

!. j. !. !. = \ \ !. X i. !. !. \ \ \ i Z.
The United States department of ag-
riculture says that the states showing
high percentage of improved roads
have, on the average, relatively high
acreage values; while those showing a
low percentage have low acreage val
ues. While there are many factors,
such as quality of soil, the proximity
of farms to markets, and relative pop
ulation and wealth, which affect val
ues of land, the improvement Of the
roads constitutes a most important
factor in the enhancement of farm
values. Such values have been known
to advance on account of the improve
ment of the roads connecting the farm
ers with market towns. The improve
lnent of roads in the Northwest is
largely in the hands of farmers. If
they can be brought to realize that
their land values may be increased
by intelligent cooperation in making
better roads, while they will at the
same time benefit by having good
roads over which to do business
then, surely, the era of such co-opera
ton cannot be far off.
\ !. X
A Washington Experiment Station
bulletin, in discussing the benefits
accruing from reconstructing GER
tain road on a shorter line, says there
is a saving of expense in annual main
tenance; in the time of travelling; in
the wear and tear of horses, shoes,
harness and vehicles; and in the cost
of hauling; besides restoring to cult
vation 7.27 acres of land per mile.
Besides this, authorities agree, and it
ought to be a matter of common
knowledge, that from three to five
times as great a load can be hauled
on a hard, smooth surface as on a
yielding, rough one. This, if no other
consideration, should be an incentive
to farmers to exercise diligence and
intelligence in improving the roads
over which their business is conduct
ed.

Fall Flowing for Corn.

Most people recognize the value
of fall plowing for grain crops; but
very few, however, follow the prac-
tice with their corn crops. Many
feel that they must leave the corn
land until spring in order to be able
to get onto the land the manure that
is made during the winter. It has
been found, at the Minnesota Expert
ment Station. that from IL to Is
loads per acre of barnyard manure,
taken directly from the barn, can be
applied to fall-plowed land and disced
in in the spring, so that it will not
interfere in any way with planting or
cultivating the crop. This makes it
practical to plow corn land in the fall
and still get the manure made during
the winter on to the corn crop.
There is a great advantage in this
practice, especially in dry years.
Flowing the course manure under, so

very difficult for moisture to move up
from the subsoil to the furrow slice.
On this account, land that has been
manured and plowed in the spring,

likely to dry out. By manuring on

The experts at the Minnesota Uni
versity Farm heartily recommend fall
blowing of the land for corn.

The Morning Opera

There are people who will pay SIS and stay up half
the night to hear opera who will not get up an
hour two earlier and pay 10 cents fare to hear
the caroling of natures feathered chorus amid the
glorious scenery of an awakening day.
And these think they love music!
They fondly imagine that they delight in colors,
odors light, motion, music!
Why, they don't know these glories at all, except
In poor, far-fetched limitations.
To with seeing eyes all the passing show of life
and all the theater of natures operations become an
exhaustless source of genuine entertainment
Who ever does not find delight in fields and flow
ers and birds and skies misses of the first and
best delights Of existence.
That is an inverted and unnatural mode of life
which seeks recreation in pictures and books and
parlor games and public entertainments and ignores
the soulsweetening joys which are avishly offered
us outdoors.
The Powers that Be-do we seek personal spe-
cal revelation of them? We will never it in the

hear it in the laugh groan word of men; we will
not find it in the greed-crowded places; no-but In

Every creation, unmarried by mans abusive waste,

Do we think we have lost all?
Not so, indeed!
There still remains priceless heritage of common
things. Everywhere there is restless panorama of
beauty and delight. Colors, odors light music, mo-
ton-they are everywhere.
There is the strong sun on the morning hills that
seem to ring like anvils meath its hammer strokes;
there is the majestic pageantly of evening moving
across the Sky: there is the madcap frOlic OF the

THE DISOBED lent ERMINH

Did you ever hear of the great
Ermine family? 1t Is a queer four
footed family somewhat like our
own Weazel tribe, and it lives in
the far away north, where the
snow is very deep.
Among the Ermine family last
winter there was one-Mrs. Fuzzy
Ermine-who had such naughty
children. They did so dislike to
put on their winter dresses. You
see the ermine is more fortunate
than most animals. They each
have a brownish fur dress for
summer and a white one for win
ter wear.
Mrs. Fuzzy Ermine had warned
her children that the ground
would soon be white with snow
when their brown dresses could
easily be seen by the hunters and
their other enemies. the larger
wild animals. AT last the children
but Crosspatch had put on winter
clothes. He was cross and OBJ

The three men sat in Sim Pat

Patrick the others present were
Ted Larrimore. son Of the late
Senator Larrimore, and Jimmie
Price. who. with Patrick, was a
member of the Legislature which
elected Larrimore senator.
'When my father died, shortly
after beginning his first term as

Legislators whose votes he had pur-
chased and the amounts he had

Patrick and Price started in
alarm at Ted's words. The latter,
unmoved, carefully drew from his
pocket a small piece of paper which
he consulted.

then started home. All at once
they spied a hunter coming across
the plain, who fired at Cross
patch's brown coat, which showed
so plainly against the white snow.
But the bullet just missed him,
though it whistled so close to his
ears it scared the disobedient little
fellow so he ran like the wind
after his brother.
When he got home his heart
was going pitty-pat, pitty-pat, and
he didn't leave the house again till
he put on his white dress, as his
wise mother had asked him to do.
