EVERYBODY DRAG ROADS /!
Plan Provides That All Tax Payers
Must Keep Highways Clean.

Plan Provides That All Tax Payers
Must Keep Highways Clean.
A plan is on foot in some parts Of
the country to have the whole commu-
nifty see to 1t that the roads are kept
In good condition.
The proposed plan provides that the
road authorities shall divide the roads
:1to short sections, according to the
number of poll tax payers, and assign
to each man the section nearest and
most convenient to him, who would
assume the responsibility Of keeping
the same in good condition by work
ing his poll tax on it, not all at once,
but at intervals, as needed. 1t is esti-
mated that in no case would these
sections comprise more than a half
mile of road.
AS soon as the frost is out in the
spring and while the road is yet some
what soft and plastic these men
would go on the road each of his own
section, dragging it thoroughly, using
a homemade split log drag, scraping
down the ridges, filling the ruts and
holes and browning and smoothing the
surface so that 1t would shed water.
Not more than two hours would be
required to do this, and it would be
done at time when it would least
interfere with farm work. Later in
the season. whenever there was tend
ency to develop ruts or holes, each
would again apply the same treat
ment just following rain.
A very important point may here be
noted, viz-that by this plan the roads
in any district. no matter how large,
even in an entire county, could all be
dragged and smoothed and put in good
condition within few hours.

COMET &C" 1911
Astronomers Are Watching Anothe
Celestial Wanderer.

For several months professional
sky ga ers have been interested in a
celestial Wanderer of which very lit
tie is known by the astronomers. It
is called for convenience Comet &C.
1911" The comet was first discov-
cred by the great astronomer, Brooks.
who has found during his study thus
far no less than % or more of these
wisps of light. At the present time
people may see the comet with the
naked eye.
The ''big dipper" is the objective
point. Begin at the star which marks
the end Of it's handle after the crook,
swing to the left in straight line,
about as far as the sun moves in half
an hour, at this point is a fairly bright
star. Near the mid-point of the con-
Meeting line will be found the comet.
1t may have about it a faint blue or
streamer of light, or the moon may
make this invisible. In any event it
is there, stretched above, some eighs
degrees. Or the head, a mere star,
may have dropped to the line, or even
below it for the comet is rapidly pass
ing on it's way and by December only
astronomers and those who live far
to the south will know anything about
it at first hand.

Delhi and Its History.

Shah Jehan in 1851 built the present
city of Delhi. close to the old Delhi,
and made it the royal residence. The
Mohammedans still call it S~hahjehana-
bad, the ..city of the king Of the
world" Nadir Shah, the Persian usurp-
er, captured it in 1879. massacred
thousands of the inhabitants and pore
away plumber to the value of nearly
$100,O00,000, including the famous pea
cock throne and the great Kohinoor
diamond. The British first came into
control in 1903. when the Mahrattas
were defeated near Delhi by Lord
Lake. When the sepoy mutiny broke
out in 1857 Shah Mohammed BAHIA
dour, then ninety years old, took com

GIANT TREES OF JAMAICA.
They Shed Masses Of Beautiful Silk
Cotton Every Year.

t+Fl4-.7 U-rNA
The silk cotton trees of Jamaica are
n of the most striking natural fea-
lures of this beautiful island, and Wis
itors express much curiosity concern
ing them. The fiber of the cotton is
too short for textile uses, but its quail
ity is delicate and fine.
The trees are most interesting in
structure. They reach a height of 200
or 800 feet. 1t is the largest tree OH
the island, and the branches often over
hang more than an acre of ground.
Some of them are centuries old, dat
ing back to the landing of the Span.
iards. They have withstoed the trop.
icai winds of the region through the
adaptation of their structure. The
leaves are very few, and there are
heavy masses of roots.
This giant tree flowers once a year
It bears a number of pods much the
size and shape of a cucumber. These
pods dry and burst, and out floats the
beautiful cream colored silk cotton,
covering the ground and sailing in the
air for some distance. The seeds, OF
course. are borne on the silky fila.
ments. This cotton is used at present
only for pillows. Its use as ~guncottoI
has been spoken of.
The trees are often felled by the ma.
tive Jamaicans and hewn into canoes
which last for generations.-Christian

1t is not difficult to find men, even
in the most prosperous dairy COM
munities who do not believe that
dairying pays. They have tried it and
failed. Some have purchased good
stock but poor management or false
economy in housing or feeding pre-
vented them from getting the results
they expected but by far the largest
number of these failures are due to
the use of animals that are not adapt
ed to dairying.
Those who purchase a few cows
when the price of fat is high and sell
them off when the price goes down,
naturally have rather poor opinion
of the dairy business. To obtain the
best results it is essential that the ami
mails purchased for the dairy should
be of the strict dairy type and be made
permanent part of the farm live
stock. Those who purchase cows with
the intention of milking them but a
short time and then selling them of
when the price of butter fat drops or
when the animal goes dry, naturally
look more for beef producers rather
than milk producers. 1t is impossible
to build up a good dairy herd by this
method. Dual purpose animals may
be used in some localities to good ad
vantage but to get the best results one
of the special dairy breeds should be
used. This does not mean that only
thorough bred animals should be used
but animals that are bred for milk pro-
duction. A good dairy COW should
produce enough butter fat in her best
days that the value of the beef may be
of secondary importance if not entire
ly ignored.
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of it and not its value
as scrap iron when worn out. Those
who purchase dairy cows should con-
slider how much butter fat she will
produce and not the value of her hide
and carcass.
