Where decreases are shown, they
have been the result of Reconsideration
of roads.
Strangely enough, New York IS the
only one of the eight that appears In
the list of the eleven states leading
In actual progress in road building in
the five-year period. In other words,
while the entire eight states maintain
their lead, 1t is merely because Of
their earlier start. and New York alone
Is entitled to a place In the list OF
states In progress in the last nve
years. The states which are leading
In progressive road building are New
York, Georgia. Washington. Missouri
South Carolina, Alabama, Pennsyiva-
MIA, Tennessee. New Jersey Florida
and Maryland.
The gain In New York, according 10
the director OF the once OF pubic
roads, is due largely to the fact that
the state has bonded itself for $4,000
900, and that t5.000.000 a year more
Is being expended by the state. In al
dition to an equal sum by the coun-
ties, In building state highways New
York Is leading all the states In actual
progress at the present time, and II

BEST PLACE FOR TOOL HOUSE
North Side of Barn Is Favored on Ac'
count of Goodness and Less
Needed for Stock.

The north side of a barn is in
many ways the best place to house i'm
plements, for it is cooler to work in
and less needed to shelter the stock
than the south side. An iron roof not
in every way suited to stock will an
swer the purpose, and is cheap. One
of the main difficulties in shedding
tools is to be able to get at them as
needed. The drill is often needed, fall
as we'll as spring, and a lot of tools
have to be moved to get at 1T, and
other tools are often hard to reach.
Perhaps a square house with drive
way through the middle and plenty
of rolling outside doors is the most
convenient, for in that case each tool
can be moved out directly.
Doors are not so very much more
expensive than the sides of the build
ing, and they can be made tight enough
for the machinery which is not affect
ed by drafts. If the shed is not con-
venient the machinery will be outside
a great part Of the time. do not
believe it is practical to shed all the
wagons in this climate-they must be
out so much anyhow that the protec-
ton of good paint which they carry
with them will be more effective than
shedding part of the time, except with
wagons used for hauling which are
not in use through the summer.

RANT FOR HER HUSBAND.
Kansas City Woman Showed the

Kansas City, Mo.-A woman who

With her little boy, Mrs. Burch had
taken a seat before the assistants
desk Her husband, carpenter, had
left her, she said. And he had made
little effort to support the family of
three for several months.
1T is against the policy of the Of

Mrs. Burch started to the door.
She hesitated, turned and removed her
hat.

Twentieth street and Indiana avenue.
My hair had often been admired. The
shop woman offered me 90 cents an

"A week later | asked my husband
for so cents to pay the milkman. He
had been drinking and exclaimed an
grily that l should have paid the milk

Mr.. Curtin had picked up a pen.

According to information just made
public by the director of the office OF
public roads, Indiana leads all the
states of the Union in mileage OF i'm

roads of Indiana and Ohio are COM

the gravel is dumped on the road

Guinea as a Foraqer.

The guinea fowl is great forager
and destroys many insects that the
hens will not touch. They do not
scratch the garden and. though not
easily kept near the house, they make
known the places where they lay by
a peculiar noise, which enables one
accustomed to them to find all the
eggs they lay. They really cost almost
nothing to raise, and when roosting
near the house create an alarm should
intruders make their appearance.

LEGISLATIVE ACT is NEEDED
State Commission Not Authorized to
Prevent Wisconsin Railroads from
Charging for Fractional Miles.

Misunderstanding but an act OF
the legislature can stop the railroad
companies of Wisconsin from charg-
ing for a fraction of mile as if it
were full mile. This is the opin-
ion of John Fl. Roemer, chairman of
the Wisconsin railroad commission,
expressed in letter to Emil l.. Fuhr-
mann of Milwaukee, who asked the
to take official cogniz-
ance of the matter of increased fares.
On May Is, the railroads in Wiscon-
sin began to charge for fractions of
miles at the same rate as full miles.
