presidential candidates. The first

One family brought to Morganza last
night had been for days without suffi-

above the rapidly rising water. AT
daylight the entire family took to the
roof. They had just enough food to
ward off near starvation until the boats
reached them. The levee above Nor

added to this shed to make it perfect
for its use would be a concrete floor
ing with a cistern into which all the
liquid manure could drain. In the
absence of this use oat straw for bed
ding whenever possible as this will
serve to absorb practically all Of the
liquid part of the manure.
A Kansas farmer reports that the
alfalfa which he uses for bedding and
which is made of the tops and bottoms
CT stacks will absorb the liquid man
ure as well as will the oat straw.
Taken in the aggregate, there can
be no question that thousands of dol
lars worth of valuable fertilizer is
wasted each year through loss of
liquid manure and through the leech-
ing of manure piles that are stored
in the barn yards without shelter.
The question of the best method in
which to preserve the liquid manure
is well worthy of study.
The Agricultural college at Man
haitian, Kansas, has its large barn
yard paved with stone which drains
to a central cistern where all the
liquid manure is collected and later
pumped out for distribution on the
grass and other crops.

SURFACE DRAINAGE OF ROADS
Crown Should Be Sufficient to Shed
Water Readily and Allow We
hcIes to Pass Easily.
(By PROF. J. R. DAVIDSON. Iowa Ag-
ricultural College)

CBy PROF. J. R. DAVIDSON. Iowa Ag-
ricultural College)
All roads should be provided with
surface drainage. The cross-section
should be OF such a shape as to shed
all rain at once to the side bitches.
To do this the road must be oval or
have crown and must be smooth.
The first of these is a matter of con-
struction, and the latter a matter of
maintenance. The side drainage
system should be called upon to car
ry as much water as possible. Water
cannot be carried away by the tile
drains until the water has sunk
through the soil and softened it.
The crown of a road should be suf-
ficient to shed the water readily. If
the road is to be maintained and kept
free from ruts and holes, less crown
will do than If the road is to be neg
lected. The Iowa highway commits
sion recommended a slope ! inch to
l foot for a crown in the travelled
way. This is sufficient for most con-
ditions. The crown should not be too
great. A steep crown causes the trav-
el to be concentrated at the center,
where ruts will be worn and washing
result. Again there is some difficulty
In vehicles passing. On the side of
! the crown the wheels of the vehicles
have tendency to grind the road
down. The top of the wheels are near
er the gutter than the bottom. The
top Of the wheels is nearer the gut
ter. This action, together with the
| swerving or flow action of the lower
part of the wheel, has a very marked
effect.
The sleeper the slope of the road
the more important the crown, for
there is a tendency for the water to
run down the track rather than to the
side If water once begins to run
down the center of the roadway it is
| but short time until the road is
| quilted out.

Potato Damaged by Eel-Worm.

adults are at most one twenty-ffth of
broken walls and the starch grains
are fewer in number than in healthy
tissue and those present are of small
er size.
The disease is spread by planting
infested seed potatoes. 1t is not def
initely known to what extent the
worms may live and multiply in the
soil itself or how long a soil may re-
main infected. The important point
can be settled only by careful obser-
walton and experiment.
Only a few carloads of potatoes
were rejected, so that it does not ap-
pear that the disease is as yet wide
spread. The efforts of some dishonest
shippers to dispose of potatoes known
to be diseased, either for food or seed,
should be guarded against by every
grower, shipper and all who deal in
potatoes, making themselves familiar
with the appearance of the disease.
and combining in an honest effort to
stamp it out. Some sort of inspection
service should be Immediately estab-
lished in the sections where potatoes
are grown for shipment purposes.
Care should be exercised in the pur-
chase of seed potatoes, to insure that
the disease is not introduced into
regions as yet free from It. 1t will
probably be necessary to quarantine
against infected localities, in case the
disease becomes widespread.
How to free infected soil from the
parasite is question which the
knowledge at present at our command
will not permit us to answer salts
factorily The best advice for the
present, it seems to us, is to plant
infected fields with some other kind
of crop, preferably grain or alfalfa
rather than a root crop, such as sugar
beets, which might be attacked by the
same pest

DEVONSHIRE CREAM IS GOOD

one-half gallons of good milk is re-

ordinary family would be satisfied with
much less.

or five inches deep. Leave in "A cool

to $50 degrees to develop the proper

MAKES A GOOD MANURE SHED
Thousands of Dollars Worth Of VaIu-
able Fertilizer Lost Annually for
Want Of Shelter.

A shed may easily be built at one
end of the barn for the gathering and
protection of manure against the
weather. The shed should cover a
door at the end of the alley behind
the stalls, and the floor Of the barn
so arranged with a drop that all
manure, both liquid and solid, is
caught and easily moved towards the
door and this shed. If the fields are
dry enough the manure spreader may
be driven under the shed and loaded
directly from the barn door. If the
fields are too wet for use of the
spreader then the manure may be
piled under the shed where it will be
protected from rain and consequent
waste. The only thing that could be
