Victims of a peculiar accident at
Dexter miraculously escaped serious
injury. George Welts and six-year-
old daughter of Parkman were riding
on a loaded wagon drawn by four
horses over the Carleton stream bridge
when the structure collapsed letting
the entire outfit fall a distance of 10
feet into about four feet of water in
the stream. One pair of horses fell IN
such a manner as to land directly on
top of the others and the result was
a terrible miXup of horses, wagons
and human beings. Mr.. Weits man
aged to work his way out of the
wreckage and started hunt for the
little girl whom he found in the
stream uninjured save for bad
fright. All the horses We're saved
uninjured.

tire road ready for traffic in August

indicated hy Information Just made
public hy tho u 5. Department II
Agriculture. Secretary Wilson shows
that 100000 mics % roads must Do
lmproNee before the public road sys-
tenn can be considered really efficient.
1t IS only within recent Years that
the movement for better roads has
gained force. The II
delay are shown in the fact that
there are now but 190.476 miles Of
improved roads in this %untr
These improved roads constitute.
S.bb per cent of the total mileage OF
all pubic roads improved and unlm-
proved. It IS figured that the per
centage Will have To be Increased 10
20 before the traffic can be moved
throughout the country with the
minimum of wear and tear on
horses. wagons and automobiles.
The French system Of roads. long
considered the best in the world, was
bonded by Napoleon III Tor ST, 900
600, and something in the neigbor-
hood Of $612,775,000 has already
been spent on that system. In this
country, owing TO the great distances,
it is probable that close to $1,000
900, 600 will have TO be spent before
a proper road system is developed.
While the amount necessary III

ulousiy large, it does not seem too
large when it is divided among the
various states and spread over a
period Of five, ten or fifteen years
When it is considered that New York
state has bounded itself for $50
000, 900 a year is now being expend
by that state. it Will be seen that 4

perfected were all states to progress
as rapidly.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

The douglas Mixture' is a tonic. a
preventive of sickness. and will cure
diarrhoea in fowls and is also said to
be a cure for the cholera in hogs. It
is prepared in the following manner:
Dissolve one pound Of copperaS in
a gallon Of water. then add one-half
ounce of sulphuric acid. The sui
Dhuric acid prevents the copperas
from settling in the bottom.
After the acid is added put the
preparation in a stone jug and it will
keep indefinitely. If you should put
the acid in the jug and then pour the
water on, it would quite likely break
the jug.
Two tablesDOonfuls of the mixture
added to each gallon Of the drinking
water will keep the fowls from hav-
ing a great many diseases.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1912-06-11

ly to prevent their taking root, and
this work can be quickly done BY
the Use OF a pitchfork. Once a
week is often enough.
In the north the black-rot affects
sweet potatoes, and this IS soon
seen on the sprouts. Whenever a
plant shows. a leaf that is partly
black, it should be dug UP and de-
stroyed.
Potatoes from affected plants
rot quickly after being dug. As
the germs Of this disease remain
in the soil over winter, the ground
should not be used again for this
crop.
In the north the most popular
varieties grown are the Benson, a
large white yam type, very
smooth, with brown, yelloWish
skin; the Red Jersey, smooth
plnklsh-red, short and plump
fresh greenish-yellow, sweet, rath-
er dry; Florida, practically vine
less, large yellowish white, brown
ish-gray skin, rather dry and very
sweet; Yellow Carolina, vigorou:
grower, white, brownish-yellov
skin, very wet, coarse and sweet
This type while not so popular il
the North is preferred by Southern
ers to all others for table use.

FOR WOUNDS ON TREES.

IN California the following mixture
was used on trees three years & and
is still in good conditions: one part
Of crude petroleum to three parts of
resin. warm in separate dishes, nix
and apply warm to cuts made by
pruning or by cultiVator injury.
While this mixture is not better than
grating wax, it is much cheaper and
is worthy of trial.
If owners of trees would realize
the Importance of keeping the bark
whole and unbroken on their trees
and treat all wound promptly, they
would save much loss from so-called
wound fungi which are ever
abundant and ready to TAX posses
sion and cause decay. Wounds hat
should be treated are of various orr
gin, and those to the body Of the
tree are most important. though in
juries to large limbs very often spread
downward.
A large limit cut off, with the stun
left unprotected, supplies a good
place for these fungi to enter. and
the end of the life of the tree IS
fastened by the hollow body result
