ROADS AID TO FARM VALUES
Modern Ideas Induce Farmer to Pay
More Attention to DRAINAGE, Grad
Ing and Gravellnq.

1t Is noticeable fact that farm
lands have raised In value more In
the last two or three years than they
did In the ten years previous to that
time, writes Lucien A. Sweet in the
Farm, Stock and Home. Now the
question to be answered is this: Why
does this condition prevail2
First, the r., F. d. mail has placed
the farmer nearer to the city in get
ting a daily delivery of his daily pa

Second, the cooperative farmers

brings the farmer into almost the
homes of his neighbors in almost the
twinklfng of an eye and the cost OF
this comfort luxury and necessity Ia
only from three to four dollars a year.
Third, the automobile in the hands
of many farmers.

This was done about eight years ago:
since that time we have paid no poll

all kinds have been assessed GER

The town board has appointed a

quality OF fine gravel. very little has
been put into the roads until the last
two or three years. But since the
work of graveling the grades and TIL

grades in the sloughs the roads are
so much improved that the voters
are now raising twice the money for
road purposes that they did before
the gravel was used and the roads
where graveled are In fine condition.
TO be sure this year the crop was
good and two years ago the crop was
good, also; but as the farms are tile
drained and the roads are made good.
farm lands advance very rapidly.
While there is probably no one thing
that has contributed altogether to the
rapid rise In land values in the last
two or three years, it is quite plain
to be seen that the drainage of the
wet places along the roads and the
crawling OF the roads. putting them in
very good condition, has been the main
factor in putting land values where
they are at the present time

down n hole. With schoolboy's curl

then arose-how was 1t to be fed? 1t

Suddenly Jack had his brilliant idea
why not give 1t milk with fountain

filler was obtained and drop OF
milk squeezed into the rabbits
mouth. II was almost a case OF forci-

was squeezed Pincher, as the rabbit
was named. had to swallow the milk
After time. however. Pincher opened
it's mouth eagerly when 1t felt the first
drop OF milk and sucked away at the
filler. During the first critical days
Pincher emptied filler of milk three
times every two hours. Once Pincher
was found nearly dead from cold out
side its box at midnight. and once
when placed on thick rug it suddenly
stood on its head and burrowed under
the rug. 1t was extricated with diff

A few days ago Pincher opened its
eyes for the first time and ate Its first
meal of bread and milk.

proving Country Roads.

II you can enlist the boys or girls
In any country community In any good
work. 1t will soon be done; and 1t Is
not likely to be done very soon unless
you do enlist them. II you get the
boys and girls interested in q Sabbath
school. 1t goes without saying that you
will have good school. II you can
get the boys and girls to attend church
regularly, you will have a prosperous
church. II not, your church must in
evitably decline A minister who can
not attract and hold the young people
had better be thinking of handing in
his resignation.
II we are ever to have good dirt
roads in Iowa, it will be necessary to
enlist the boys. If they are ever in
terested in the job, we will get the
full benefit OF the road drag. A drag
and boy and good team of horses
will do wonders. provided the boys
heart is In 1t; not otherwise. Theory,
you say? Well. let's see.
Miss Jessie Field, the superintend-
emit of schools in Page county, Iowa.
organized seven teams numbering
from four to ten each. Each team
met and chose a captain. When It
came time to drag the roads. he or
dered his boys out. and they obeyed
orders. Mr. w. G. Brown, president Of
the New York Central railroad, who
has farm in that county. gave a
prize of 500 to the best team OF boys.
One Of the best things Colonel Hep
burn ever did in his life was to pre-
sent trophy to the boy who had the
best half mile of road at the end of the
season. The teams put up signs at
each half mile, giving the name OF the
boy who was responsible for dragging
that piece of road. Finally. the SUI
pervisors paid the expenses OF ID.
Ward King to come and judge the
work, and decide which team was en-
titled to the hundred dollars5 and
which individual boy was entitled to
the trophy.
Now 1t goes without saying that II
this work Is continued and extended.
Page county will have the best dirt
roads In the state of Iowa, or in any of
the adjoining states. Why? Because
the boys have taken 1t in hand Few
people realize what tremendous
thought the master gave to the world
when he said: Suffer the little chill
dren to come unto me, and forbid them
not; for to such belongeth the, king
dom Of God" In other words. he rec
ognized the value of childhood-boy-
hood-not merely for spiritual things.
but for all things. The boy is father
to the man" that is. what the boy is.
