BAD ROADS AN AID
TO BAD CITIZENSHIP
(Courier-Journal.

The Chicago Journal declares that
<'bad roads are potent aid to bad
citizenship, and proceeds to tell why.
cit is generally agreed that the
least desirable vote in any Common
wealth is the vote of the city slums.
The lack of good roads in Illinois
nuftiplies the power of the slum vote
by keeping thousands away from the
polls. Many farmers have to go sew
eral miles to vote. If roads are de-
cent they go. If rains have come, the
roads are turned into mud lanes,
where travel at two miles per hour is
an effort, the farmer stays at home.
1t is very wrong of him, but very
human, and almost any one would act
the same in his place"
These statements are easily sus-
ceptible of proof. When there is bad
weather on election day the rural vote
falls off, and it falls off most in those
remote sections where road improve
ment is unknown. Many country vot
ers prefer loosing their votes to travel
ing long distances over muddy and
sloppy roads.
The bad road aids bad citizenship in
another way, in that it is an obstacle
to popular education. Many of the
rural school houses are accessible only
by travelling over highways that are
all but impossible. Attendance on the
schools thus is cut down, and it is q
well-known fact that regular attend
ance at school is absolutely necessary
if the pupil is to maintain his interest
in his duties and make satisfactory
educational progress. The country
churches are factor for better citizen.
ship, but the situation with these is
much the same as with respect to the
schools
The truth is that bad roads retard
progress in every way-and everything
which retards progress does not tend
TO betterment of citizenship. Ignor.
ance and isolation do not equip men
for the intelligent exercise of suffrage,
and the only hope of improvement of
government is in the spread of enlight-
eminent among the people.

FATTEN YOUR FARM.

A contributor to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside writes:
"A tendency exists among many
farmers to burn up all the cornstalks,
loose straw, clover chaff and super
fuous roughage about the place. But
it is TO expensive.
Every time an acre of stalks is
burned twenty-one pounds of nitro
gen goes into the air and it will cost
you $3.50 to buy it back again. The
wheat or oat straw from an acre con-
tains about twelve to fourteen pounds
OF nitrogen, and clover chat about
three times this amount.
Zone can easily figure from these
deductions what a reckless loss to the
farm is fire in the chaff-pile or stalk
feld.The cutaway and disk harrows
will chop these bulky materials up
ready for the pillow where they can be
turned under. If you want to fatten
the old farm stuff it with organic
matter"

A MUSICAL OWL.

Hearing the notes of his piano be-
ing struck first up the keys and then
down, Ernest Lemmy, of St. Paul's
Road, Peterborough, peeped through
the open door and discovered that the
player was his pet owl, says the Lon
don, Eng, Mail. The owl would step
on a key and then listen attentively
to the sound. 1t tried another and
another, and seemed highly pleased
with the noise it was making. When
it got to the upper end of the piano
and found that it was only the black
and white keys which sounded, it
started back again and sounded all
the notes until it reached the last in
the base.
DENTON.
Mr.. James Denton, aged 80 years,
died Wednesday morning at o'clock
at the home of his son, Mr.. Kirby
Denton, in Lexington. Bright's dis
case and the infirmities of age caused
his death. Until last March he was
a resident of the Riddles Mills neigh
borhood. He moved to this city where
he made his home for some time before
going to Lexington to reside.
His wife died April 26, 1909. He is
survived by seven sons-Messrs. John
Denton, of Iowa; Henry A. Denton, of
Alabama; Kirby S. Denton, of Lex
ington; Andrew Denton, of Owings-
vile; William Denton of California,
and James G. and Jeff Denton, of
this city.
These seven son will act as pail
bearers at their fathers funeral,
which will be held this morning. The
body will be brought to Paris on the
interurban car, arriving at the Paris
cemetery t 10 o'clock. Services at
the grave by Rev. w. E. Ellis.

ARSENATE OF LEAD is
TOBACCO WORM DESTROYER.

Growers of dark tobacco in Ken
lucky and Tennessee, who are having
serious trouble because of the ever
present hornworms, which are great
chewers of tobacco, may find relief in
a remedy announced Tuesday by the
Secretary of Agriculture, after a five
year Government investigation by the
Government scientists. This remedy
is di-plumbic arsenate of lead.
The departmental bulletin saws:
"A thorough application of this in
secticide will kill practically every
hornworm within two or three DAYS
after being applied, aud will continue
for several days to kill the Young
worms that hatch, without any injury
TO the plant. Arsenate of lead costs
more than Paris green, and if the com.
paratiye cost were the only question
IL would be useless to recommend the
former; but the first cost is only a.
secondary consideration. The object
is to kill the worms and not iniure
the plants, and the certainty of this
compensates for the extra cost of the
arsenate of lead Arsenate of lead
must be mixed with a carrier and an
pledi with a dust gun. Finely-sifted.
freshly-burned wood ashes make the
best carrier, and at least bulk equal
70 the insecticide should be used.
The best guns are those with e fan
diameter of eight inches, with an aux.
fliary dust chamber"
Those iHterestd in the subject
can find detailed information in ento-
mology circular 173, recently issued
by theUnited States Department of
Agriculture, entitled, "Arsenate of
Lead as an Insecticide Against Toboc-
co Hornworms ., by A. c. Norman and
d. C. Parman, chronological assist
