AS result OF an energetic good

county will have $4,000 for road
building and improvement in 1918 and
1914. With an additional sl63,000

per cent. of the amount being concen-
trated on continuous stretches of
standard highway built from trade
centers along main travelled roads
which are a part of the state primary
trunk highway system. In the compre.
hensive road program a law has been
enacted providing for the development
of roads in counties whose assessed
valuations do not permit of extensive
road work. Thus a portion of Spo-
kanes road money will be used in
building highways in other counties,

By W. U. GILBERTD

To my mind there is not half enough

DETERMINE AGE OF HORSES
ton of Teeth-WhoIe Story Told
in a Nutshell.

To tell the age of a horse, says
Prof. Z. l.. Potter. of the Oregon Agri-
cultural college, notice his teeth. his
ribs, flesh on his tail and ,he skin on
his cheeks. In a young horse the
skin on his cheeks is soft and elastic,
and flies back quickly. while In an
old one the skin Is lifeless and goes
back to place but slowly. There is
n wider. more distant space apparent
between the ribs of an old horse than
of young one. and with age the flesh
on the tail shrinks, making the joints
mere distinct.
The most accurate method of judg-
ing is by the teeth The temporary
teeth come first. and then the per-
manent ones, and their development
TO maturity. change the shape on
account OF wear coming of the cups"
and their ultimate wearing away, with
the change in angle of meeting from
perpendicular to an acute angle in
age. are all the important indications
of age.
The permanent teeth above and be-
low come in at the same time, but
the cups above do not wear away un-
Ill all those below are gone. The
changes begin at the center and con-
tiHue at the rate Of one pair a year.
At maturity five years. a horse has
eyerything-all the permanent teeth
and their cups. This is the whole
thing in a nutshell.

FIR SH ARR

It's lucky thing that God made so
much fresh air; it does more for us
than We ever imagine. Few things
have such destructive effect on most
disease germs, after they leave the
body, as a slow. steady draft OF fresh
air. For instance, the germs of con-
sumption will be killed by il in less
.r nty-four hours. Considering
rIc uIa YER of people moving about
aat :! lding the germs Of consump-
ton, IL is lucky for us all that the
fresh air keeps so steadily and efiec-
lively at work. Fresh air is also, by
long odds, the most important factor
in the cure of consumption. The
steady breathing of fresh air twenty
four hours a day, regardless Of the
weather, will do more to produce a
cure than any other single thing. The
constant supply of fresh air, purging
tie body of Impurities, keeps the ma
chinery of the body literally in good

cOMia0N ORCHARD MITE PEST
Injurious. Little insect Found in Great
Portion Of west-injury to
Fruit Trcsc Severe.
CBy GEORGE wELDONJ

Dry climates favor the multiplica-
tion of mites in the orchard, very
common among them being the brown
mite. Throughout the entire year this
little pest may be found in the or
chards in great portion of the west.
and in some localities their injury TO
fruit trees Is quite severe.
Most orchardists have seen the tiny
red globular eggs on fruit trees during
the winter months and are aware that
they are the eggs of the brown mite.
The winter is spent principally in the
egg stage. The eggs are deposited on
the trunk and limbs of trees during
the late summer. Often the bark is
covered several layers deep with
these eggs. by rubbing ones finger
over the ogg masses and crushing
them. the bark OF tho tree may be

experience.
