WHERE GOOD ROADS BENEFIT
Much Time and Money to Deliver
Small Load of Apples.

Recently my man went to the coun-
The mud was so deep that the team
was repeatedly stopped to wind on
level stretches and on many hills a
brake was not necessary, writes d. H.
Watts in the New England Homestead.
The time required to make the round
trip of so miles was 13 hours, not
counting the time used feeding the
team and in unloading. Much less
time and scarcely any wear and tear
of team, wagon and harness would
have delivered rs bushels on mac
adam or a brick road bed.
If man and team are worth 81 a
day, and they are, then we lost IS
earning capacity that day and worked
very hard 13 hours (more than day
and a half, by eight-hour day SYSTEM
to earn a days wages. The gigantic
question is not, do good roads cost
too much, but how much more do
bad roads cost us? Let every farmer
be a committee of one to figure on
road profits and losses. The postof-
ice department and many others might
well participate. The consumer of
farm products is a sufferer also, as
because of those ill-kept roads his sup
ply comes inadequately at times, and
again SO as to demoralize the market.
It is true that difficult transportation
invariably means higher prices at the
consumers door.

A Smoke House Stove.

unfit for table use. This may be all
overcome by the use of an old stove,
one that is hardly at for use in the
house for heating purposes.
Make a hole that will accommodate
the size of pipe you happen to have
near the floor of the meat house; set
the stove FIVE or six feet from the
house, that there may be used three
joints Of pipe. This will permit the
smoke to cool sufficiently, which will
give the meat fine flavor.
It would be better to spend two or
three dollars for a stove than to run
a great risk in building a fire in the
smoke house.

To Resist Rust.

BY new process the galvanizing of
iron and steel for the purpose of resist
ing rust has been greatly simplified by
the application Of coating Of lead or
lead alloy, instead OF zinc, which is
used at the present time. Lead, with
l per cent. of tin in it, has been found
to be very durable combination, es-
pecially suitable for electric railway
work. The economy of the new pro-
cess lies not only in the fact that the
value Of the alloy made use of is very
much lower than that of zinc, bur also
in that very much thinner coating
may De applied.

LITTLE ROAD WORK IN FALL
Only Aim Should Be to Keep Them
Hard and Well Dralned-cut Out
All Weeds and Grass.

I To those who are about to work up
the highways, as is often done in
some counties of the state in the fall,
we would say, DON'T"
Autumn is q beautiful season, but
when we see force of men work
ing new section of road and plow-
ing up the old road-bed late In the
: fall, 1t makes us think that the melan-
choly days have come, the saddest of
the year. There is an element of this
sort that fingers all winter over such
a section of road 1t is bound to be
cut full of deep ruts in mild weather,
and rougher than the rocky road to
Dublin when the ground is frozen.
The only aim in working roads at
this time of the year should be to
keep them hard and well drained.
says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. No
loose dirt, clods or vegetable matter
such as weeds and grass sods should
be left on the road-bed. Sod and
weeds make humus, and however
much we desire a supply humus In
cultivated soils, 1t Is mighty poor
road building material.
Clay roads should be packed and
sInoothed with the road drag, and not
loosened up at any time of the year,
much less just before winter sets In.
Muddy and sandy tracts may be grav-
ele6 or macadamized. Tile drains
and culverts are seen to be In good
condition for draining away the ditch
water. But places can well be hard
surfaced or cut to proper levels or
slopes But to plow and scrape loose
soft material up on to the roadway is
not good highway engineering for
November. 1t Is better to leave fair
1y firm road surfaces as they are,
than to fill in with unpacked material
at this season of the year.

Good Roads
q EAT.mNO

Early blowing makes bigger CROPS.
BY the day, did you ever hear OF
road drag?
A good time now to patch up around
the farm buildings.
II possible, put the celery away in
slightly moist, clean sand.
The Toulouse has become one Of
the important adjuncts to the modern
farm.
Only in rare cases do cutworms
bother crops that are planted on fall
plowed land.
Alfalfa under congenial surround
ings or conditions is a business crop
and no loafer.
A coat of manure put on the garden
this fall will give a good account OF
itself next June.
Hot bed sasnes are usually three
by six feet In dimensions. but smaller
sizes may be used.
Seed corn Is an expensive luxury IL
placed where the birds, poultry, mice
and rats can get It.
It is quite common to SOW buck
wheat, especially on poor lano, as
green manure crop.
A good time now to haul and spread
manure on the vegetable garden so
that winter rains can do their part
Gardens infested with cut worms
may be helped by keeping the land
free from vegetation all fall and burn
ing ali trash.
Seed potatoes stored in the cellar
should be kept in as light place as
possible. Light toughens the skins
and retards sprouting.
There would be more broom corn
raised if the farmers generally under
stood how to cut, handle and cure
this money-making crop.
The original cost of the machinery
found on the scrap heap Of many OF
our farms would set young couple
up in business in very comfortable
shape.

Handling Cabbage.

Cabbage which is to, be stored
should be handled with care. When
thrown from the field into the wagon
box the heads are severely bruised,
and this is likely to cause decay aft
er storage. Some of the most careful
growers use crates, baskets or tubs
In which the heads are carefully plac-
ed in the field and these are hauled
to the storage house, where they are
emptied quickly and with ease. Too
much care cannot be exercised In the
harvesting of all crops which are In
tAnded for storage.

Do not let your young birds roost

DEVICE FOR WEIGHING GRAIN
Arranged to Work Automatically,
Registering Total Weight of
Grain Passing Through.

The Scientific American in describ-
ing an automatic grain weigher, the
invention of e. l.. Adams of Edgar,
Neb., says:
This device is operated automatical-
ly by the weight of grain it receives.
1t comprises a hollow vessel with an
inlet at one end and an, outlet at the
other, and comprising means by which
grain can enter the vessel until its
limit of capacity is reached. Means
also provide for the automatic dis
charge of the grain, and it passes
continuously into the receiving vessel

USING A FIRELEss BRooDER
Box Protected by Wool Carpet and
Heated by Small jug of Warm Wa
ter Is Excellent.

A there are many poultrymen who
prefer to raise chicks in a fireless
brooder, we give here a plan sug-
gested by w. D. Neale, which has been
used successfully for two years, says
the Iowa Homestead He secured a
box three feet long. sixteen inches
wide and eight inches deep
from his grocer for fifteen cents.
An opening was made in one side Of
the box four inches in width and
height to admit the chicks. To fit
in this box, make a frame of laths
two inches less in width and length
than the box The laths were placed

about three inches apart and nailed
securely to cross pieces at either end.
This frame fitted inside the box and
rested on nails, two at each end,
driven through the box at the desired
height. These nails were withdrawn
and driven higher in the ends of the
box as the chicks grew so that they
would have more room beneath the
frame. A piece of wool carpet was
thrown over the top of the frame and
pressed down beneath the lath so that

a number of charts which may carry

TOO MUCH LOW GRADE ROSIN
$2o,o0o,ooo - Crude Methods of
Grading Prove Costly.

In this country there is produced
annually forty million 280-pound bar
rels of rosin, having a value of ap-
proximately S20,000,00O. For many
years the crude methods Of grading
this product for shipment have lost
the producer millions of dollars. The
question today between the producer
and user is one of samples cut in cor
rect size.
Uncle Sam, through his department
of agriculture. has devised a method
which does away with cutting the
sample. He has invented an appa-,
ratus which will mold sample the
exact size. by which the producer
himself can grade the rosin as it is
made at the still, and thus know def
nitely before shipment exactly what
his product will grade.
The simple apparatus which is rec
commended for this work comprises a
small mold made of two pieces of or
binary roofing tin. 1t is about one
and half inches high and exactly
seven-eighths of an inch wide on the
sides. inside measurement This Is
the size In which the standard grade
samples should be cut. With the ap-
paratus is needed an ordinary tin
dipper, knife and set of standard
rosin types.
The samples for grading are made
in molds while the rosin is still in
liquid form in the barrels. The type
numbers are printed on the tiny block
samples to indicate the season In
which 1t was produced.
