IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

A. e. Jones, wife and son, of the
city of Lisbon, have been in the city
for a day or two IN a shopping expedi-
ton. They have met many of their
friends in Fargo. There are many
people who would like to visit Fargo
from our section Of Ransom county
o%ftener,' said Mr.. Jones, who is In
the real estate. business in his town,
but Fargo although only a compara-
lively few miles away, is still so far
away that it requires two days to come
here II get back home again. 1t
would be q great blessing if the
Northern Pacific would run two trains
each way on it's Southwestern branch
and I am satisfied that it would pay
them for SO doing, 1t would help bust
ness in u city and | am satisfied
that it would make business for Fargo
as we'll. The way things are now we
have to leave Lisbon at 4 or shortly
after that hour in the afternoon and
get into Fargo after z in the evening,
too late for any one to do much busi-
ness here. Then in order to get back
home we must leave about s in the
morning, so o see in order to trans
act business in the city at all we must
devote at least two days to making a
trip to the metropolis of North Dakota.

two cities and others who are interest
ed along the line of the Southwestern

Ri Experts Are Detai1-EIimnation
Of Hills ASSISTS Horses.

The cost OF hauling over country
roads is largely determined by the
size Of the load that can be hauled,
the number Of trips that can be MADE
in day and the wear and tear on
teams and equipment. Steep grades
as well as ruts and mud holes serve
to decrease both the speed and the
load.
On the principle that "a chain Is
no stronger than its weakest INK,
the maximum load that team can
draw is the load that it can draw up
the steepest hill or through the deep
est mud hole on that road.
Wherever possible, roads should be
located on straight lines. In h1lly
or mountainous country, however,
straightness often causes heavy
grades: Straightness and grade must,
therefore, be handled together. The
best location is one which is straight
in general directions, is free from
steep grades, is over solid ground, and
serves the largest possible number OF
people.
In studying the relations Of grade
to distance, the following principle
should be borne in mind: To life
ton one foot high requires 1000
'oot-pounds Of energy; on road, the
surface Of which offers 100 pounds OF
tractive resistance per ton, the same
energy would roll the ton a horizontal
distance of 20 feet. To save one foot
of grade the road may therefore be
heightened 20 feet.
The elimination Of one or two steep
hills on . line Of road will frequently
enable horses 70 draw three or four
times as much as they could draw on
the old road. 1t takes approximately
four times as much power to draw
loads up ten per cent. grades as on a
level, but on a four per cent, or five
per cent. grade horse can usually
draw (for short time) as much as he
can draw on level.
A four per cent. or five per cent.
grade is therefore considered the max
imum on roads subjected to heavy
hauling. Steep grades may often be

clay is then dumped on the surface
and spread to a depth Of from six to
eight inches at the center, and grad
ually decreasing in depth toward the
sides. A layer Of clean sand is then
added, which is thoroughly mixed with
the clay, either by traffic or preferably
by means of plows and disk or tooth
harroWs.
The sand-c1ay road, after compile.
ton, should be carefully maintained
until the surface becomes firm and
smooth. The construction Of this type
Of road is by no means quick oper-
alton.
There are so many kinds Of gravel
that it is almost impossible to lay
down principles Of construction which
will hold good in ali cases.
The following are the principal
causes, Of failure in gravel roads:
First, poor material; round water.
worn gravel; too little binder or too
much sand, earth or clay.
Second, unstable foundations; plac.
ing gravel on surfaces filled with ruts
and holes.
Third, poor drainage; too fat, or
too high in the middle, side bitches

Fourth, spreading gravel in dry

With good binding or cementing

made by surfacing the prepared sub

possible, rolled with an eight or ten
ton roller. ..,-.

fresh-laid eggs daily; two eggs for
breakfast, and the others raw, in milk.
Finding it difficult to obtain depend
ably fresh eggs, she persuaded her
mother to permit her having a small
flock in the home yard. A portable
house was purchased and fifteen pull
lets installed in it. A small brother
was paid 10 cents week to feed and
care for the flock, two bags of ready
mixed food were bought, and the re-
suit of the venture was not only all
the eggs the young lady needed and a
supply for the family, but there was
surplus which found a ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing 10
cents a dozen above the market price.

Hogs require green food along with
& moderate amount CT grain; but they
will keep in good, thrifty condition
during the summer. months on clover
and grass alone. Every farmer having
hogs should SOW patch Of Essex
rape seed. Sow four pounds OF clean,
new crop seed to the acre; the ground
must be deep, finely pulverized and in
good order. In ten weeks from SOW
ing this makes a good pig pasture and
good grazing; the pigs will grow fast
and will be kept healthy. When fed
on rape the pigs should have at all
times mixture of wood and coal
ashes, mixing one handful Of salt and
one of sulphur in each peck Of ashes.
The fattening properties Of rape are
probably twice as good as those Of
clover Last falls pigs should be CIV
Gil fine-cut clover hay, mixed WITH
wheat bran and wheat middlings.
Mix with boiling water. A few small
ears Of corn may be given after the
mixed feed is eaten. Have the pens
clean and dry; give a thick bed Of
dry leaves or cut straw. They should
have fresh water daily. Expert breed
ers give the following mixture to their
hogs; they consider it better than
wood and coal ashes alone: Ten
pounds OF burnt bones, 10 pounds of
water and 10 pounds Of sulphuric acid.
The burnt bones are put into an iron
pot and moistened with the water;
the acid Is then slowly poured over
the mass and we'll stirred In. Great
care must be used in handling the
acid, as the least drop on the hand
will burn like fire. Mix this with an
equal quantity of freshly burnt hard
wood ashes; let the pigs have a little
of this mixture twice a week. 1t Is
especially good for pigs troubled with
tumors caused by eating too much
corn. Have a grass pasture or dry
yard adjoining the pens, as they must
have plenty Of exercise to keep them
in good, thrifty condition.

MARGIN OF PROFIT AND LOSS
Record Of the Cost of Production and

Hens Are Paying.

A flock of hens should be made to
pay good dividend on the invest
ment. If they do not do this there is
something radically wrong some
where along the line.
If you have kept record OF the
cost Of production and the sales you
will be able to tell whether or not
your hens are paying. Hens that are
laying an average of so or 60 per cent.
are doing well and will make a good
showing on the right side of the cash
book. Any averages above that viii
be so much more gain and will more
than Justify keeping the birds.
If they fall way below this mark
you better investigate and find out
the cause of the trouble. 1t may be
that you have poor strain of birds,
that you are not feeding the right
kinds of foods or in sufficient guam
titles, or that you are not giving them
the proper attention that they must
have in order to be great producers.

Because Of Its simplicity, its efti-
cheney and cheapness, the split-log drag
Is an excellent device for maintaining
earth and gravel roads.
The best results have been obtained
by dragging once each way after each
heavy rain. In some cases, however,
one dragging every three or four
weeks had been found sufficient to
keep a road in good condition. The
drag does it's best work when the soil
is moist but not sticky"

avoided by locating the road around
instead of over the hill, without ma.
terially increasing the distance.
The earth road should have at least
six hours Of sunshine each day. Such
brush and trees as impede the drying
action of the sun and wind should be
removed. With gravel and stone roads
this is not necessary, as a certain
amount Of moisture is needed on such
roads, especially during the summer.
Relocating roads is not an engineer
ing problem alone. One must also
consider the effect Of the road on
those who now live upon it. Many dis
like to have the road placed back Of
their houses, or out Of sight Of it. 1t
requires tact and good judgment to
secure a suitable location without
arousing harsh antagonism.

Many farmers operate on Jacks plan
in regard to the use Of their valuable
machinery. They work hard to get the
money to buy plows, reapers and other
labor-savers, and then deliberately
squander their savings by leaving their
machinery to be destroyed by the
weather.
On one farm the writer saw at least
$500 worth of machinery which had
been rendered practically useless
within two years by exposure to the
weather. A fine reaper which was only
three and half years old was left
standing after the last wheat cutting
and is already so rusted and warped
and weather-beaten that 1t can never
