all the leaders in Mexico.
What then is to become of Mexico.
President Taft and his advisors IN
Washington must have realized by
this time that it is folly to depend up
on the Mexicans any longer to main
tain a stable government, and it seems
that the time has come when the Uni
ted States must step in and take
charge of the affairs Of our neigEbors
to the south. Over ve-hundred mil
lions of American money is invested
in that country and nearly fifty thous-
and Of our citizens arc living within
it's borders. More than this the other.
nations of the world look TO us to pro-.
tect the lives and property of their
subjects and if we fail to do it we
must stand aside and let them take
such steps as they think is necessary.
Germany, England and China are al
ready growing impatient because OF
our inactiOn.
We realize that intervention in Mex
leo is dangerous proposition and not
only will cause the spilling of much
blood but will mean the maintenance
in that country Of a large army for
many years to come. We feel from,
an intimate knowledge of Mexico.
that at least fifty thousand men will
be needed for the invasion and that it
will take an equal number of men to
preserve peace Therefore the situa-
ton is one that presents many serious
considerations but it is one that must
be faced and the sooner we reach
tcfinate decision the better it will be
for everyone that is Interested.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Over a year ago when Madcro was
in The midst of his revolution against
the Diaz government in Mexico, we
pointed out the weakness of the null
ti-millionaire dreamer who had sur.
rounded himself with Il gang Of cut
threats and bandits, including the
blood thirsty Iapata and the sullcn
Orozco, and made the prediction that
a government which had at is head a
man of such little practical sense and
ability, together with his licutcnantS
who represented no delinatc purpose
except to get their hands on the mon
CIV sacks in the federal treasury, could
not last. The events during the last
two or three days have proven the corr
rcctneSs Of our view. At the same time
when the prediction was made we dld
not think that Madero would even ac-
compliSh the overthrow OF DiaZ al
though the feeling against the aged
ruler had been gathering force year
after year. We underestimatcd the
ravares that aye and illness has made
on the strength Of the grim old gray
wolf Of the nation to the south.
There can be no possible stability
to a government in Mexico under the
present circumstances nor 90 we THINK
within fifty years will Mexican people
become educated to the trGc Ideals oi
republican government. We have
several times pointed out that condl-
tions in Mexico for over ive-hundrcG
wears, have absolutely shown that the
people arc utterly incapable and until
for self government ANA 1t was entire
" due to the strong arm OF President
Diaz. who ruled in the most dCSpotlt
manner, that the country had thirty
or fSrtv years Of comparative peace
and was pointed out by the c!vl!lzcr
world as one Central American rcpub-
lie which had upset all presccdcnt--

FIood Question IMPORTANT One.

Flood Question Important one.
The many foods in northern Wis
consin this year has led to some dis
cussion among legislators as to what
remedial legislation If any can be
brought about tc prevent in some de-
gree repetitions Of such disasters.
Said Senator Timothy e. Burke of
Green Bay:
II don't know just what the state
could do. This has been an unusual
year in the matter of floods and the
question of remedial legislation has
never before perhaps been forced up
on the public mind We may not have
another such year for long time and
yet, perhaps, we ought to give the sub
ject serious attention now
Andrew Kealy of New Richmond,
state senator and candidate for secre-
tary of state, thinks the flood ques-
ton an important one. "The building
of great dams endangers the lives and
property of people living below in
case of high water and as population
increases so will more and more peo-
pie be endangered. People should be
assured by examination Of experts
that dams are strongly built and rea-
sonably safe when constructed"
eve could not prevent foods" said
Assemblyman Thomas Mahan OF
Shawano county, "and it would be
hard to confine their waters. Dams
should be built as strongly as possible
and uof uEooYo vo COO tho host now

Homemade Clod Crusher.

is not improved by browning. A sand
road is at it's best when moist, so it
should be left fiat. No one wants a
sand road; So if possible, clay should
be added to and mixed with the sand,
making what is known as sand clay
road
The old way, and it is used today
by many, of filling mud hole with
brush with a little earth on top, can
not be too strongly condemned, and
is only permissible in cases of emer-
gency, when it is impossible to drain
the hole or to get sand or stone to fill
it. The overseer or. foreman should in
dry weathre center this work on such
places until the road is raised to a
sufficient height to drain well. Many
overseers have brush hauled two
miles to fill mud hole when sand IL
within shoveling distance of it.
The illustration shows homemade
clod crusher, which is self-explana-
tory.

WEIGHT or LOAD FOR HORSE
Should Not Be Asked to Pull More
Than one-Tenth of Its Weight
Cost of Marketing.
CBy PROF. r. NJ. DoLvE. North Dakota
Agricultural College)

nv PROF. r. NJ. DOLVE, North Dakota
Agricultural College)
Since horses use their weight in
pulling they should be loaded in pro-
portion to their weight, and observers
are agreed that FOR hauls over coun-
try roads a horse is properly loaded
when exertfng a pull on the traces
equal to one-tenth of his weight. For
team of 1,6O0-pound horses this
would be exerting pull of 800 pounds
and if it requires a 140-pound pull
to haul ton on an average level
country road they would haul about
21-3 tons. In order to haul this load
up a 6 per cent. grade they would
have to exert a pull equal to one
fourth their weight, which is an ex-
haustive pull and should not be much
exceeded, especially if the hill is long.
IF the hill had a 10 per cent. grade the
load would have to be reduced to
h,G9O pounds or nearly three tons less
In order to keep the pull UP the
grade equal to one-fourth the weight
bf the horses.
Statistics show that it costs over
20 cents per ton-mile to market farm
products, so that if the distance to
market was five miles it would cost
81 to market ton when the road
Is level or contains not more than a
per cent. grade.
Assuming that is would take as long
to haul the small load of 1000 pounds
necessitated by the 10 per cent. grade
as it does to haul the larger load, the
cost of marketing ton would be in
creased to $225, or an increase OF
1925 because of the grade

Garden Fertilizers.

Well-rotted barnyard manure is the
best garden fertilizer. For late crops
it is not necessary that it be thor
oughly decayed, as there is time for it
to decay before the plants need it.
Nitrate of soda and some other com
mercial fertilizers are occasionally
used for special crops, and will prob
ably have to be used more by market
gardeners thereafter on account of

maintenance OF GOOD ROADS
Best Method Is by Systematic Use Of
Road Drag-Old Way is Very
Strongly Condemned.

No earth road can be maintained in
good condition unless it be so con-
structed as to drain we'll and unless
it be kept free from ruts and holes.
The best method of maintaining an
earth road, especially prairie road,
is by the systematic use of the road
drag. A sand road is never good I'M
der any circumstances, but certainly
