RANCHER KILLED
NEAR HARLOWTON

Jesse Lockhart was almost instant
ly killed Monday afternoon by Albert
Yantz by shot from revolver.
The death is the outcome of some
long standing trouble between Will
liam and Albert Yantz, and Lee and
Jesse Lockhart. The four men met
OH the road south of Harlowton and
had a short argument which resulted
in Lee Lockhart and William YantZ
starting to fight. Albert YantZ see
ing that Jesse LOcki,art was going to
the assistance OF his brother, Lee,
and fearing for the life Of his father
shot Jesse through the body, killing
him almost instantly.
1t has been reported that the elder
Yantz was beaten over the head with
a revolver butt and that he was
almost helpless at the time his son
fired the fatal shot.
The coroner's jury Tuesday after.
noon found that Jesse Lockhart came
to his death hy revolver in the
hands of Albert Yantz. The hearing
developed that Yantz fired the shot
after LOckllart had fired shot aud
that he thought that his father was
fatally wounded. The trouble that
led mp to the shooting was brought
about by differences arising over
sheep and grazing land.
Jesse LOckhart was formerly a
town marshall in Harlowton.

stop among the stones and flow down
the hill through the pipe.
TO keep road smooth and crowned
the best method is to drag it with a
road drag. A road drag is made cas-
lily with two halves of log which
has been split. The log should be
about or inches in thickness and
6 or feet long. The two. halves of
the log are set three feet apart with
the smooth face forward and upright.
they are then fastened together with
braces set in holes bored through the
log. a pair of horses may be used
TO drag the road and are hitched to 4
chain fastened to the front half of the
log. The road drag should move
forward so that it slants across the
road in such a way that small
amount of earth will slide past the
smooth face of the log toward the
center Of the road, thus forming the
crown. The edges of the logs will
smooth out the ruts. Ihe best way
to drag is to begin ut the side of the
ditch and go up one side OF the road
and down the other. In the next
trip the drag should be started a lit
tie nearer the center and the last trip
over the road the drag may work
close to the center itself. Small
ridges of earth will be thrown in the
horse track and smeared by the round
side of the log smoothly over the road.
The smearing OF the earth by the log
is called pudding and it tends to make
the surface OF the road smooth and
watertight after the sun comes ont.
The road is always dragged after it
has rained and not when it is dry.
A good, strong pair of horses with Il
well-built drag can drag about 3 or 4
!, miles of road in u day, and it is the
best way to maintain good roads. In
every county some farmer along each
miles of road should own drag
and drag the road when it rains, and
he would always find the road III good
condition when he goes to market.
Owing to the fact that many rural
schools were closed at the time when
the prize maintenance essay was an
nounced by Director Logan Waller
Page of the Office of Public Roads.
it has been decided to extend the lin
it for receiving the essays to October
Is, 1913. In addition to the gold med
al given as first prize. two silver
medals will be given rs second and
third prizes. If a child has submit
ted one essay previous to the issue Of
this notice should care to try again
he is at liberty to do so, but he must
be a pupil of y rural school. There
is some misunderstanding in regard
TO the subject of the essay. The
idea Is to set the children thinking
how to better their earth roads with
the material they have at hand.

TUBERCULOSIS IN HOGS.
Easily Infected Through Use OF MIX
From Infected Cattle.

Feeding experiments, conducted by
the United States Bureau OF Animal
Industry at Washington, have con-
clusively proven that hogs are readily
infected with tuberculosis through
taking into the stomach the faces
and milk from infected cattle. Meat
inspection figures show that about
per cent of the cattle and more than
2 per cent of the hogs slaughtered
are tuberculous. This condition Is
certainly alarming and should appeal
to farmers to provide the best sani-
tary surroundings and conditions for
their stock. Pure air. sunshine and
wholesome food are the best preventa.
tives against diseases, and 1t is evil
dent that this disease In hogs can be
materially reduced by eradicating It
from cattle or BY segregating them.

PLANNING DRAINAGE SYSTEM
Should Be Done With Same Care as.
Other Improvements.

TIE planning Of drainage works
should be done with the same careful
ness that is bestowed on other inn
provcments. When large building
is to be constructed an architect is
consulted. plans are carefully drawn,
all the details ares looked into, and
material is selected which will be
and the purpose for which the build
ing should be used. During it's con-
struction inspectors see that the de-
tails are carried out and the require
ments of the specifications enforced.
regardless OF the fact that the c. n
tractor may be losing money and
cheaper materials might be used. But
in drainage enterprises. the evidences
of such care are too often painfully
lacking. even though the cost be as
great or greater than that Of a large
building. In many cases an engineer
Is employed to stake out a drain on
route which has been selected only
because 1t is supposed to be" the
best one. No examination Is made
for another route or outlet; the area
of the watershed Is not measured AS
a result, the size of the ditch is
determined by mere guess. Time
may develop the fact that the best
route was not selected. that the ditch
was too large or to small. and conse-
quently does not perform the work
satisfactorily. A ditch. being improp-
erly located. either does not drain all
the land it should or it is expensi e
to construct and maintain. One that
is too large will not clean itself prop
erly; while one that is too small will
not carry the required volume oi
water.

EARTH ROADS
Repair and Maintenance Of Earth Roads
So that the Public may gel
Their Moneys Worth

If you look at the ordinary country
road after "A shower you will see small
puddles along the wheel ruts and
sometimes larger pools. This water
stays OH the road surface because
it cannot drain away into the side
bitches. II you look closely you will
see side bitches which have grown up
with bushes and weeds in many cases,
which are so far from the travelled
part OF the road that the rain water
does not drain into them. That part
of the roadway where the wagons
travel is called the travelled way. 10
prevent water from standing on the
Travelled way the road should he rails
ed in the center and slope gently into
the broad shallow bitches. 1t is then
said to have crown. If it is ten feet
from the center OF the road to the side
bitches, the surface ut the side bitches
should be at least ten inches lower
than it is at the center where the
horses travel. The road then has Il
ten inch crown. The rain that falls
OH a road that is properly crowned
will run quickly to the side and not
soak into the surface or form pools.
The side bitches for surface water
should run parallel to the right-of-
way, and should be open at every low
point SO that the water can run out Of
them into the neighboring brooks
and streams. If the bitches merely
collect the water from the road sur
face and it cannot run away, large
pools will be formed along the road
side which will gradually soak into
tile soil beneath the road and make 1t
50 soft that the wheels of wagons will
cut through the road surface and soon
destroy it.
Sometimes water runs from land
along the road into the road and
and forms a little stream down the
wheel tracks or III the middle where
the horses travel. When the drive
ways into the farm yards are built
across the side bitches they frequent
form channels for water from the
farm yard to run into the road. The
pipes under driveways become filled
with leaves or rubbish and the water
can no longer. run away. If the
driveways that stop the ditch water
necessary and the ditch could be left
open, much trouble from surface wa
ter would be stopped.
Sometimes u road runs across low
ground or through a swamp where
the road cannot be drained by side
bitches alone. If the road were built
higher like railroad embankment
across such low land and made with
. crown, it would he dry and hard.
Sometimes road passes through
what is called cut. This is place
where the earth has been dug out 50
that road can go over hill without
being too steep, The water which
always flows quietly under ground on
hill sides is known rs ground water
In road cuts such water sometimes
makes the road very muddy, ana the
road then needs what road builders
call underdrainage. \ good kind OF
underdralnage is Il trench to go along
nnder the side drain and about three
feet deep and foot and a half wide
In this trench pipe is laid near tht
bottom and covered with loose stones

trench is completely filled will

The recent achievement Of MARSHALL
town men in raising over 100000 for
the new Y. N. G. A. building in q
weeks time, appears even more won
derf,fl when the experience Of Oska-
loosa Is noted. Oskaloosa citizens en-
gagged in campaign OF similar length.
Eighteen thousand dollars. $4,000 to
wipe out a debt $1,000 for repairs, and
$4,000 for current expenses, was all
that was needed. The campaign ended
with $4,000 yet unsubscribed, and with
two days Of next week set as time
when efforts would be made to clean
up the balance. The wisdom Of raising
more money than was actually needed
in the local campaign is shown in the
Oskaloosa experience, for II y always
much harder to raise money for debt
or repairs on an old building than it is
to launch a new project fog . worthy
cause.

disadvantage. One state. in referring

as well kept as in Mason City," TO
be true some of Marshalltown's old
paved streets are not in good condi.

just a few days ago, a business man
who had been arrested for running
motor truck more than ten miles an
hour over paved streets declared that
he would discard his auto and put on
