IMPLEMENTS in NEED
OF BETTER LUBRICATION.

One OF the little things that is
lacking on most farm implements
is a good and convenient system Of
fabrication, says the Kansas Farm
er. The common oil cup with open
top or loose cap is sure to get filled
with dirt and grit. which cut out
the bearings, largely increasing the
power required to operate the ma
chine and greatly reducing its per-
iod of usefulness.
The hard oil cup which holds
enough oil to last a week or more
is always tight and can be screwed
down little each day, thus insur-
ing a clean bearing and regular
supply Of grease. Many of the COM
mon implements could be vastly i'm
proved by replacing the common oil
holes with hard oil cups.
The oil holes can be reamed out
easily and threaded to the proper
standard and the hard oil cups
screwed into them. The amount of
work and expense required will be
returned many fold in the saving
of horse flesh and in the increased
life Of the machinery.

HODGES FAVORS MAKING
RURAL ROADS NARROWER

A law which would add thousands
of acres, now lying idle at the road
sides, to the farms of Kansas, prob
ably will be advocated by Governor
Hodges at the next legislature. The
law would make the standard coun-
try road twenty-four feet wide. At
present most of the roads are sixty
or more feet wide; not more than
twenty-four feet are used. The pro-
posed measure would grant strip
along each side to the adjoining
farm. "a ~sAA
1.-THE edges of most Of the roads
as now constructed are waste" he
said recently. 1.-THE grading usually
stops about ten feet from the fence
line, leaving room for a good city
sidewalk on either side which never
is needed or used. Tall weeds grow
there, and 1t makes room for uncut
hedges. A trim road twenty-four
feet wide, finished from fence to
fence, would be easier to care for
and better looking and it would
answer every purpose of the present
roads. The longest motor car could
turn around in it and the largest
loads of hay could pass.
'And, in the aggregated large
areas would be turned to use. In
farming, as in other business, It is
these margins that make the bulk
of profits"

CONSTRUCTION ON N. X. 8 N
Work to Be Begun on Railroad Pro-
jected Through Abilene.

A story in a Newton paper tells
of the progress of work on the New
ton, Kansas and Nebraska, rail
road projected from Newton to Fair
burg, Neb., passing through Abilene
and Dickinson county:
The special committee named to
draw up the details of the Newton,
Kansas & Nebraska railroad contract
finished its work last evening, and
the result of the work will be pre-
sented to a full meeting Of the di-
rectors tomorrow.
Having discussed the terms of con-
tract and specifications for the con-
struction work in an informal man
ner, thus arriving at general un-
derstanding of what is required, it
is thought that but little change
will be found necessary in the re-
port of the committee. When the
directors have passed judgment on
the proposed contract, Michael Cas-
sidy, the contractor who has been
instrumental in furthering the in
terest of the line, will be called in,
and it is practically assured that
any minor difference that may ex-
list will be ready adjusted.
Affairs in connection with the
road are rapidly shaping up, and
unless unforeseen difficulties arise,
the assembling of material and con-
struction workmen will begin with
in a few months at the outside. Fol-
lowing the signing of the contract,
the next step will be the bond cleo
ton in Highland township. 1t is
stated that a favorable sentiment
exists in that township, and is daily
growing. General optimism per-
vades the atmosphere surrounding
the activities of the officers and
directors of the road, and that
feeling seems to be well founded.
