urrLE YARN SIDE Talks
Good roads is the slogan.

To be exact, there are 2,157, $40 miles
of public roads in the United States.
Only seven out of every hundred miles
are improved. Furthermore this coun-
| try is about a hundred years behind
many foreign nations in road-making.
Just now, as the writer can testify.
the main highway between ViToqua and
De Soto Is in very fair shape. Barring
numerous hills, most of them in prox-
unity to Viroqua and De Soto, the
road is fine. A little grading up in the
center, use of split drag, cutting out
of many of the water breaks, would
afford good passage most Of the year,
50 for az dirt roads are possible. Viro-
qua and De Soto, and in fact every city
and village would be reimbursed in adj
dcd business if they encouraged and
assisted in making the public avenues
of approach more passable for tributory
population.

Showing That Men
 Are Brutes

When the Thompsons came in from cheerful and happy, Mrs. Thompson deposited her wonderful millinery ere ation on the table in the reception hall Then she hastened into the kitchen to prepare one of her delight ful Sunday evening suppers, which Thompson says are entirely without equals in the culinary line
 Thompson removed his hat ana coat and then wandered into the kitchen after his wife. He has a way of tag ging' her about the house This is due partly to the fact that he is an ab- stractly social creature and partly to the strange circumstance that he has particular predilection for his wifes society. Presently he drifted into the pantry and returned with small vel low skinned onion in his hand.
 What do you call this beautiful ob- ject?" he inquired facetiously.
 His wife considered this attempt at witticism quite unworthy of notice. She merely instructed him to put the onion back where 1t belonged or he would be smelling like an onion patch
 After dipping around into various things which he should have left alone, Thompson left the kitchen, still hold ing the onion in his hand On his way to the living room he passed through the hall and there. spying the Sunday hat of Mrs. Thompson, he was moved jouterie which adorned it and to drop the recently acquired redolent root into the nest thus arranged
 After this frisky deed he went into the living room and soon forgot his lit Jle joke.

 Forage crops for pasturage by the SOW and pigs, should be pro- vided. Rye, oats, bermuda grass, sweet potatoes, COW peas and peanuts afford excellent pastur- age for them. The pasture should be provided with a movable pig fence in order that the SOW and pigs may have only a limited space in which to feed. As a re- suit they will clean up the pas ture plot by plot, and mot select just the best, as would be the case if they were allowed access to the entire pasture. However the plot should be large enough to allow the pigs to get plenty of exercise.
