Of potatoes or other vegetables. with

try to avoid stepping on a hill. and
in some instances they seem to make
a point Of trampling down everything
In reach Of their big feet."-L. w. c.,
Tennessee.
"Our experience with mules leads US
to believe they are harder than
horses; they are seldom sick, their
shoulders hardly ever become sore and
they are more easily taught what Is
expected OF them. We have never yet
known of a mule being injured in any
respect from overlooking. They
know when to quit eating. For steady
work and hard knocks we prefer the
mule every time. The farmers of the
West are beginning to appreciate them
at their true value, as the number of
mule teams now in use, compared to
what there was a few years ago, fully
attests. III. c. S., Kansas.

rope over which I have travelled, ex-
tending from the northern fiords Of
Norway down to the southernmost

Both urban and rural communities,
of course, are interested vitality in
roads, but the country is far more in
terested than the city, for good roads
shorten the distance to the market, to
the school, to the railway station and
the country store, precisely so much
as the road is improved. It Is not too
much to say that the agricultural land
Of the South would be more than
double in value If the roads were only
half as bad as they are.
"Our people need to be educated in
this matter Of good roads as much as
on any other subject in the world. and
the most important work perhaps that
the American Association for Highway
Improvement can perform is to estab-
lish clearly in the minds Of our people
that their personal interests are bound
up with the Improvement of their
highways.

Mr.. Page, in a statement which he
has issued as chairman Of the Amer
lean Association for Highway I'm

as the proper vehicle through which
all the people Of the country can take
part in the great movement for the
Improvement Of the roads, which, he
holds, will increase the prosperity Of
the country and provide more equal
distribution of population. President
Taft has taken the lead in becoming a
member Of the association and its Of
f1cers include some Of the most prom
inent men Of the country.
"Of all the material affairs of the
country at present." says Mr.. Page,
"the improvement OF. the public roads
seems to me the most important and
far reaching. Every improvement of
our roads is direct increase in the
value of property and a direct assist

new idea in the minds Of great con-
servative population: but this new idea
is taking root among our people and
will in time become esta blished. The
new ideas of farming are being intro
duced. which are already increasing
materially the productivity Of the soil
and the knowledge Of our farming
population as to the value of improved
methods. and 1t Is as certain as any
other law Of nature that in time the
improvement Of the public roads will
come. The only question Is whether
we shall allow this improvement to be
postponed until our generation are all
dead and buried or whether we shall
bring the improvement in our own
time and get the benefits of it
whether we shall use our knowledge
and our opportunities to give to the
rising generation throughout the coun-
try the benefits which come directly
from a great system Of good roads
opening the way to enlightenment and
comfort of all kinds. or whether we
shall leave them to suffer from the
want Of such a system and possibly
even from the want of knowledge that
such improvement Is essential"

Celery and parsnips are also attacked.
Preventive measures seem to be the
only remedies available. To deter the
fly from laying her eggs. the rows Of
young carrots, when ready for thin
ming out, should be sprayed with kero-
sene emulsion, or busted with sand or
plaster in which coal oil is mixed, half
pint being used to pailful of the
material. The application should be
made weekly, and especially after
hoeing, until about the middle of July
In gardens where carrots are grown
for table use, and size is not an object,
late sowing is found to be advan-
tageous, the plants thus escaping the
egg-laying Of the fly. Repeated SOW
ings, a week or so apart, will secure
the freedom of some of the crops
from attack. (The plants should not
be grown two years running in the
same piece Of ground. Stored roots,
If found affected in the winter, may be
treated with carbon bisulphide, one

in pans on top of the pile. provided
that they are In fairly alright bins.
They should be left for forty-eig
hours and then exposed to the air In
order to get rid Of the fumes, which
are very inf1ammable; no light or fire

HORSES OR MULES FOR FARM WORK?

THE MULES PARTIAL HORSES

Forty years. experience with mules
has satisfied me that they will not
compare, In financial way. with
horses. not being adapted to saddle OF
carriage. nor will they bring any in
crease, as a horse does. They are mis-
chievous, breachy and will often kill
young stock If turned in with them on
pasture. A farmer Of moderate means
should keep horses every time. IL.

where farming operations are car
Rod on. on q large scale, and animals
are kept solely for farm work, and
not for alternate work and driving to
buggy, prefer the mule to horses.
Mules endure a warm climate better
than horses, largely because they do
not over-feed or over-exert themselves
the place Of the mule in the South.
The mule is very valuable in garden
work, from his housekeeping habits,
which makes 1t easy to work small
plants in narrow rows without dam
age. AS to feeding, while q mule will
keep at work on coarser food than a
horse, have never found that a hard
worked mule team would keep in fine
condition on less than a similar team
of horses. Never buy long-legged
mule. A big. "gangling." long-legged
mule Is the meanest "critter" on earth.
Whether heavy or light, see to 1t that
he is compactly built."-W. F. M

Either alone or in mixtures with
grasses for hay or pasture, red clover
constitutes from one-eighth to one
third Of the total area Of cultivated
land on most successful farms
throughout the North Central and
Eastern states, as well as the Western
states. It does not give its best re-
turns In the extreme South. nor Is 1t
always quite able to Withstand the
more severe winters Of the extreme
North.
For centuries 1t has constituted one
Of the important factors in maintain
ing permanent system OF agriculture
in the Old World. In this country for
q century and half It has assumed a
more and more important role In con-
serving the natural resources of the
soil, thereby tending to maintain the
profitable yields Of the staple agri-
cultural products.
Red clover is utilized both as hay
and as a pasture crop and often as
soiling crop. It is sometimes used as
green-manure crop to be plowed I'M

the Yields Of succeeding crops. It
makes an ideal hay for cattle and in
the clover sections should constitute
from one-half to two-thirds of the
roughage ration of milk COWS. Sheep
and young stock Of all kinds make ex-
cellent gains on either the pasture OF
the hay. In addition to its usefulness
as food for animals it has a most
important effect upon the land in
maintaining the supply Of nitrogen in
the soil. BY means Of the nitrogen
fixing organism on its roots the red
clover plant Is able to gather large
quantities of nitrogen from the all

can readily be utilized by growing

Continued advances In the prices OF
spruce and poplar wood and the rap1o
diminut1on Of visible supplies have
drawn marked attention to the prob
lem Of finding new sources of raw ma
terial for paper making. Not only Is
the price rising with the diminishing
supply, but the consumption of both
pulp and paper products is rapidly In
creasing.
While old uses Of pulped fiber are
being extended and important new
ones are being discovered. many prom

without the companionship of other
horses often becomes moody and saw

pony while leading their horses for
exercise, and the horses become so at

fretful and uneasy when they are not
near. At night the ponies are given a
stall next to the horses. OF course,
some horses are too savage in nature
to permit their being led in company
Of pony, but If broken to this treat
