ONE ROAD is MADE PERFECT
Hummelston Pike, Near Harrisburg,
Pa, Considered by Experts to
BE Model Highway.

The Hummelstown pike, near Har
risburg, Pa, is considered by experts
to be a model road. 1t is made of
mixture of water, gas. tar, cement,
liquid asphaltum, road oil, carbolic
disinfecting powder. sulphate of cop
per. and oil of wintergreen. The sui
plate of copper is used to prevent
the oils from becoming ignited, and
the wintergreen counteracts the odor
of the others. There is nothing dis
agreeable about the smell. A curious
effect of the mixture Is Its disinfect-
ing power. During the past year
there was not single contagious dis
ease in that section. The cost of APP
plying the mixture is 51a cents a
square yard. The cement binds the
dirt together like stone, and the oils
make it waterproof, so that 1t readily
sheds water. The road is never mud
dy and, unlike tar road, does not be-
come slippery in winter time. Frost
has no effect on it at all. The cost
of applying it is very small, as it is
sprinkled on like water. That the
method and the mixture is perfect
success has been shown during the
present summer. Despite the heavy
automobile and wagon traffic, the road
is perfectly smooth and very hard,
and it has met the test in every way.

NO PLACE FOR THE SALOON
World of Today Has No Use for
Drunkard, Looking for Efficiency
and Good Health.

Intelligence and education are the
great enemies of the liquor habit.
When man discovers what alcohol
does to the inside of the stomach and
to the entire digestive tract, his en-
thusiasm for drink wanes material

Fifty years of temperance educa-
ton is bringing about results. The
old man who drinks liquor for his
stomach's sake and boasts that it
makes for good health has been rele-
gated to the background
The commercial game requires the
same clear head and steady hand that
count in all the sports, and the man
who undermines his constitution and
reduces his endurance by dissipation
cannot keep up the pace in the BUSH
ness world.
AS the world is organized today isl
has little place for the saloon and the,

SALOON is AN EVIL BREEDER
Commissioners Of Washington County
Refuse to Grant License for
Liquor Selling.

Representatives of a firm of con-
tractors doing business for western
railway recently appeared before the
commissioners of Pierce county, Wash
ington, to protest against issuing IL
cense to saloon in the vicinity OF
their work. They stated that they
could employ large force, many in
their crews being the heads OF fam
lies, and receiving good wages; they
volunteered to pay the amount of the
license in order to avoid having liquor
sold in the vicinity of the work, as
they deemed it demoralizing to the
men and dangerous to have employed
on the job men under the influence OF
liquor The county commissioners
unanimously complied with the re-
quest and refused to grant the liquor
license, saying they did not care to
consider any bonus for doing SO, as
it was apparent to them that 'the sa-
loon would be an evil breeder and a
non-producer."
The West Washington White Rib
bon Bulletin thus pertinently COM
ments:
IF the above is the deliberate judg-
ment of men representing large bust
ness interests, why should it be said
that business men are afraid of pro-
hibition? If the saloon is coed or de-
sirable anywhere. it's good and desir-
able everywhere. If it is bad for men
building a railroad, it is bad for men
doing any kind of work. Why not
prohibit it everywhere and give peo-
pie sober chance to see that they can
live without that abomination any
where and everywhere. If the whole
nation could be sober for one whole
week, not a brewery, distillery or sa-
loon would be tolerated ever again in
our borders as long as the world
stands"

SEARCH CELLARS or HOUSE
Precaution That Is Never Neglected
Before Meeting Of the British
Parliament.

1t is BOZ years since the British
houses of parliament were searched
and the barrels of gunpowder under
the custody of Guy Fawkes discovered
a few hours before the opening of the
session. That discovery was not due
to any special acumen on the part Of
the authorities, since 1t followed upon
information seat them by letter; but
there has certainly been no lack of
vigilance since then, seeing that on no
occasion for three centuries has Par
lament been opened until it's cellars
had been searched.
The duty OF examining the vaultG
and secret passages is assigned to the
lord chamberlain of the court, but
generally it is the vice-chamberla
who conducts the search. His assist
ants are the deputy sergeant-at-arms
of the house of commons, the clerk of
the board of works and an inspector
of police. There is lot of ceremony
pertaining to the proceeding.
The four officers mentioned are pre-
ceded by four yeomen of the guard in
uniform and fully armed Through one
corridor after another they tramp,
peering into every dark corner until
they finally reach the conclusion that
no gunpowder has been stored in the
cellars and that, therefore, it is quite
safe for parliament to meet
When, during the reign of James l.,
the earliest searches were ordered, the
guardsmen carried lanterns through
the dark passages, and now, although
the corridors and underground pass
ages are thoroughly lighted by cleo
tricity, the good old custom is still
respected by the guardsmen, who yet
carry lanterns in their hands.
In the days of the Stuarts it was the
custom, whesa the inspection had been
finished, for the lord chamberlain to
dispatch a piessage to the king by a
mounted soldier to the effect that it
would be entirely safe for him to at
tend the opening session of parlia-
ment. Nowadays the mounted sol
der is no longer seen riding post
haste to the king; but the vice-cham-
berlain still sends the traditional mes
sage to his majesty by private wire
and the king is assured that there are
no explosives in the cellars and that
he will not be exposed to unusual
risks if he chooses to meet his lords
and commons. The king may not
have the remotest notion of opening
parliament, but the message is sent
just the same, and it is duly received
and acknowledged.-Ha Weekly

piece of woven wire fence and cuts It
into strips midway between the up
right strands as indicated in the ac-
companying illustration. The cut
wires are then projected upwards,
each furnishing a projection upon
which an ear of corn ms.y be placed.
The wires may then be hung from a
ceiling or joist. One advantage OF
this plan is that the ears do not touch
one another and consequently air cir
culates perfectly around the corn.
Where it seems desirable the wire
may be cut lengthwise, and in that
case sufficient room may be made on
one strand for anywhere from twelve
to thirty ears. If this plan ir carried
out there will be no molding Ind the

ALFALFA AS A sOILING CROP
Few Rations for All Kinds of Farm
Animals That Cannot Be I'M
proved by Addition of Hay.
(By w. M. KELLEY

On most farms where only a few
acres of alfalfa can be grown success
fully. / think the most will be realized
from it, to cut the crop green and use
~ for green feeding. 1t is the best
Eoiling crop that we can grow for all
kinds of farm animals. There are
few rations that cannot be improved
both In economy and efficiency by the
addition of alfalfa
When using it for soiling purposes
there ia danger in feeding it to hungry
sheep and cattle unless fed in moder-
ate quantities after 1t has wilted. In
my own practice have found it safe
to allow it to become wilted before
feeding it to the sheep and cattle in
the yards and stables.
In this way we can now NOW
time and haul it to the various feed
ing places for use when it is needed.
1t will keep in excellent condition if
placed in cocks as soon as it is wilted
and covered with cloth or canvas COW
ers. In this way it escapes drying to
brittleness and still keeps in ideal con-
dition for feeding.
There is no danger in feeding wilted
alfalfa to sheep and cattle that have
become gradually accustomed to eat
ing it. Many feeders give it to their
work teams, but it requires the best
of judgment to keep work teams in
good vigorous condition and every
change in the line of feeding should
be gradual.
1t is a good plan to cut and cure
the first cutting for hay and then de-
pend upon the later cuttings to sup
plement the pastures. A few acres
of this valuable forage crop should
be established on every stock farm.

post so that the inside of the wheel
is in line with the fence. Raise that
side Of the wagon so the wheel will
clear the graund and prop 1t up with
a board. Then take 2x4 about seven
feet long, and place one end against
the axle and the other on the ground,

is done tie a strong rope to one spoke

Practical farmers consider it a

The rule for blowing under clover

After seed corn is gathered from

Corn grown for grain and for fodder
