REPAIRING NATIONAL ROAD.
Maryland Authorities Hope to Havo
Highway in Condition Soon.

For the past two years parts of the old
National road the great natural thor
oughfare from Washington and Baltimore
to Wheeling and the west. have been in
such bad condition through western
Maryland that its use as a through auto
mobile route has been greatly impaired
The originally good surface has been
worn off for many miles, exposing the
large stones. OF which its foundation was
principally made. In some cases large
boulders were washed down by the noun
tain streams and several stretches were
injured by the hauling OF heavy pine tim
Der from the district north of Hancock
and F'lintstone.
AS a result a great deal of the through
travel east and west has been going by
Bedford. Ligonier, Greensburg and Pitts
burgh, farther and more hilly than over
the old National road direct to Wheeling
and beyond. Lately, however, the state
highway commission. encouraged and aid
ed by the Automobile Club of Maryland,
has taken a very active interest in re-
storing this road to its old-time impor-
tance.
Reports reach the touring Information
bureau of the American Automobile ASSo-
citation in New York that conditions are
already being materially improved. espe-
cialIy by the removal of the large boul-
ders that have been the principal draw
back to the use of this road by motorists
Some new construction has also been un-
dertaken, and. as a result, il probably
will be in condition to be generally rec
commended by the fall of 1915, or at least
by the spring of next year. Meanwhile
State Highway Commissioner Bigelow OF
PENNSYLVANIA has greatly improved that
part of the old road In his state.

Attend to Grease Caps.

Most modern cars are fitted with grease
or oil caps at every point where friction
takes place. and they should be attended
to before every run.
What is true of the chassis is equally
true of the body. Paint and yarnish will
mature with careful treatment, and rap
idly deteriorate under ill usage. Much
depends on the treatment the car re-
ceiveS for the first few weeks. Even the
most conscientious of cleaners is greatly
handicapped if the car first comes into
regular use in wet weather. Rain drops
or mud allowed to dry on new varnish
will almost inevitably stain it.
Careful and repeated washings with
plenty of clean cold water will help to
harden the surface of new coachwork in
such a manner that it will retain much
of it's pristine brlliance for many months.
A few days neglect, on the other hand,
will ruin it's appearance forever, and a
really good driver will never allow mud
to dry ON a car newly arrived from the
coach builders.

overlooking an economic principle tried
and true. that has more than any other
one agency to do with bringing within his
reach a really high-class product at
reasonable price. He is as much mis-
taken as the farmer who would prefer
hand harvesting to the purchase of an
automatic binder.
Money spent in extensive and judicious
advertising is the best investment in the
world today for every one concerned
for the manufacturer, the dealer and the
purchaser of a motor car. The product
that is not advertised will not sell readily.

one. There are many small cars on the
market which will exceed forty miles an

be we'll advised to fix their working
limit at thirty miles, except on special
occasions, and the fewer of these there
are the better for their pockets.

the car is tried right out to its limit

however, is not the only form of ill
usage to which the new car is subjected

Properly handled at first, a motor car
should improve steadily and be at it's
best at the end of 1900 or 5000 miles.
Unfortunately, there are cars which.
instead Of improving by use. steadily de-

over by their owners. and in the major
ity of cases such disappointing results
can be traced to rough handling on the
road and lack of attention in the garage.
Overdriving and insufficient fabrication

mature deterioration, and of the two

MARVEL AT BASEBALL GAME
Chunky individual Not Disturbed In

Everybody, that is, except the

With his chin on his broad breast, still
sleeping serenely.
Fifteen or twenty minutes later
something happened again, and again

But they didn't disturb that youth.
Then the people around him began
70 notice him. They said in loud
voices: "All outl" Far as we got"
"Tickets!" Change .cars!" Take the
car ahead!" Nothing doing. He still
slept.
Then somebody roared In his ear:

ALFALFA AS A SOIL
AND PASTURE CROP
BY PROF. r. A. MOORE,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.

No forage plant will SO convenient
ly give such good returns through.
out the summer as alfalfa. The crop
is ready to cut for soiling about June
/. and can be cut continuously until
September s. By beginning to cut
early and arranging so that daily cut
tings can be taken through the ad-
yanced cutting stage, it is possible to
have good succulent alfalfa through
out the summer. In good growing
weather a crop will mature sufficiently
for soiling purposes in 20 or 80 days.
Alfalfa has not yet come into gem
eral use In Wisconsin as q pasture
crop The attempts so far have proved
disastrous to the alfalfa. There is no
doubt that II win make an excellent
pasture, but stock relish the plant to
SUCH an extent that they pasture 1t
too closely. Only limited number
of animals should be turned in, II II
is pastured at all. so that the fields
may be pastured and cut for hay also.
AS a hog pasture. no plant can excel

hogs can be pastured on an acre. The

HOW TO PREVENT
CABBAGE DISEASES
BY. PROF. l.. r. JONES,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.

Next to the care of the seed-bed,
the selection OF plants at time of
tFansplanting is probably the most
important factor In growing a good
crop OF cabbage To have the plants
of uniform type and free from dis
ease are the two main things. The
first OF these has already been I'm
sured by the selection OF good seed
and by cultivation. but to guard
against disease Is more difilcult. II
the seed.bed has been placed on
ground where no cabbage has been
grown before and the seed has been
secured from source known to be
free from disease, the danger from
this direction is very much dimin-
ished Nevertheless. in selecting
plants for the field this point must be
watched at all times.
There are two important diseases
that occur In the seed bed and may
be carried to the field with the plants.
They are the yellows and the black
