TIPS TO HIGHWAY USERS.
Engineers Novel Method for Keeping
Roads in Coed Condition.

A novel and unusual method OF call
ing ttention to the proper way in
which to use good road was put in
operation by the State Highway Engi-
neer OF Illinois. 1t consists OF card
bearing the following legend
How to Keep the Roads for Years
This road was constructed for your
use.
Don't drive in one track Avoid
making ruts.
Ii all use one place all the wear will
be in one place and make a rut
II you use little care and do not
drive exactly where the last wagon
did the wear will be distributed, which
will keep the surface smooth and the
road will remain good for years: 9th
erwise il will soon be rutted and the
smooth surface gone.
The cards are 81 by SO inches III
size and are given To the men III
charge OF road work for distribution 10
passersby. This calls direct attention
to the subject and seems to be more
effective than placards tackled at the
,ide OF the road Instead OF hasty
glance in passing, the ptarons of the
roads put the cards in their pockets to
be rercad and given more mature con
sidcration.

INDOOR FARMING PAYS BIG.
Profitable Hour for Tiller When He
Sits Down to Reason Things Out.

During the long winter evenings,
when you have finished reading the
daily news about wars and politics,
why would it not be a good plan to
consider the idea OF making an exper-
iment station on your farm? You
doubtless read one or more agricul-
tural papers, the experiment station
bulletins and perhaps get an occa-
sional bulletin from the department
of agriculture These are intended to
tell you the facts which have been
discovered by the experimenters
They may be of direct worth to YOU
or they may be laid aside with the
thought that they will have a future
value. Why not supplement such in
formation with that which is gained
at first hand on your own farm? Asks
the Kansas Farmer
Not long since farmer in southern
Kansas got the idea into his head and
sent for a variety of field corn which
he had not previously tried. As this
corn had been grown for good many
years in Kansas and bears the name
OF the Kansas man who developed the
variety, this farmer had good reason
To believe that he could be successful
in its cultivation. He planted a small
plat and gave special attention, with
the result that he shucked out l04
measured bushels on measured acre
The corn was so good that he was
able to sell large quantities OF it for
seed by advertising it a little. His
success would not have been perma
ncnt. however. but for the fact that
lie took pains 10 gather this corn when
il was fully matured before it had
been injured by cold weather 1t was
carefully selected and preserved and
later termination tests showed it TO
be very high class With such a guar
autcc he was justified in asking good
price for it. and his patrons who
bought Of him were highly pleased
with the results which they obtained
This little incident served to give to
thi, particular farmer and TO the corn
he raised a reputation which has had
a large money value, which still con
tinues The same sort OF thing may
be done in other lines. A little atten
ton given to some special crop or
breed OF live stock will show results
Immediately and develop into repu
tation which has a money value

How to Make Farmers.

New York State has a bill intro
duced before the legislature for an ap-
preparation OF 100000 to be used in
the purchase of two large tracts OF
land. one near New York City and the
other near Buffalo, where there will
be erected suitable buildings and
cquimcnt for carrying on an agricul-
tural college farm for the training OF
boys in the knowledge OF farm work.
Any person under 10 years OF age
who has been resident of the State
for more than a year. and has no Grim
inal record, may be entered in the
training school. Each pupil, or stu
dent, is to live on the farm and must
render personal service in farm duties
For these services he will receive from
81 10 $40 per month and board, the
compensation to be graded on class
standing
The bill authorizes the appointment
of a commission of FIVE members to
be named by the Governor and APP
proved by the State Senate, these com
missioners to purchase land as deSig
mated convenient to New York City
and Buffalo. aggrcgating LOCO acres or
more in each location This Is be
licved to be a practical means of max
ing the boy without means sclf-sus-
tainino and at the same time OF equip
ping him with a knowledge OF bust
ness that will help in going out in the
world fortified to take part as pro
duccr and at the same time maintain
the dignity Of skilled labor.

Old Age.

Old age. as it comes in the orderly
process of nature, is beautiful ant
majestic thing 1t stands for expert
.ence, knowledge. wisdom, counsel
That is old age as it should be. but
old age as it often is means poor di
gestion, TORPID bowels, a sluggish liver
and general feeling of ill-health, de
spondency and misery. This in al
most every instance Is wholly unncc

feeling of dependency will give way
to one of hope and good cheer. For

Workshop for Every Farm.

Every farmer, so far as possible
should do his own repair work. 1t

ers in every section. ii there Is only a
Slight breakdown IN the equipment,
have To stop work, drive to town, have
the work done for them. lose hall a
days time by doing so, beside being
Obliged to pay for the work done
Here is a loss OF both time and money.
II such an one should provide himself
with few tools. such a. are necessary
for doing the ordinary repair work on
the farm. and should do his own re
pairing, he would save where he now
loses Besides. there is certain sat
isfaction in prohting by ones own
work
There i an added advantage in the
fact thar the youngSter upon the farm
may then be taught the proper use OF
tools. and may be trained in using
them This will be a valuable add
ton to any child's education, Some
children develop their minds better
through the development OF muscular
deNterity. Boys upon the farm can
be trained to saw II a straight line,
as well as hit a nail Squarely on the

of work in the shortest possible time
in keeping all his edge tools in tlrst-
class condition.
These tools are necessary on every
farm, may be had at prices within the
reach OF everyone. and will pay for
themselves over and over again. The
farmer that has not them now should
procure them at once and should learn
to use them properly. They will help
him to reduce the high cost of living

Green Feed for Biddies.

February is a hard month for the
biddies in northern climates. DO your
best to furnish them with fresh green
feed
Sprouted grain is a near approach
to soring conditions.

water. cover them well, let them stand
one whole day and then turn them
INTO = box that roes not leak Keep
nuttino warm water on them morning
and night till sprouts are well started.
Spread them out thinly, moisten more
and keep this up till the sprouts are OF
the required length. Some folks let

Start Cabbage Earl Y.

Growers OF early cabbage should not
lose sight of the fact that this crop
must be started early in order to Sc
cure maximum profits Prices for the
early crop often decline very rapidly.
and the grower who catches the top
notch prices for a few days is more
likely TO receive satisfactory profit
on his crop as a whole. Many OF the
most successful growers in the north
make the first sowing the latter part of
January or early in February Low
temperatures should be maintained to
induce heavy, stock growth,-Na-
tional Stockman and Farmer

is YOUR STOCK FED RIGHT7
Everything Depends Upon the Proper
Mixing of Rations.

There are some things all farmers
should know about the food they give
their live stock All farmers should
know that hay which is coarse and
hbi Gus overtasks the digestive powers,
lrrltatcs the mucous surface of the
stomachs and bowels and may lead to
a torpid condition OF the stomachs. or
when IT acts on the bowels masy lead
to the Development of dysentery Tim
othy hav may be OF good quality for
feeding horses. but when fed to cows.
especially those which do not get ex-
crcise it will produce constipated
condition OF the bowels. Hay given
to cattle should always have good
deal OF clover in it. This for the rea-
son that it has nice laxative in
huence.
Fo d which is finely divided, such
as cornmeal and fine middlings, fed
alone, is not adapted for the digestive
organs OF cattle. 1t does not pass read
lily through the stomachs and fire
quently gives rise to severe attacks of
Indigestion When fine middings and
corn are used they should be mixed
with CHOPPED hay or what is common
" known as cut feed. as this tends TO
prevent those finely divided foods
from clogging together and giving
rise to fermentation in the stomachs.
and they should even then be used in
moderate quantity The chemical
composition OF food is not always
safe criterion for estimating its
value Its digestibility must be consid-
cred Home and Farm.

Coed Road Maxims.

Don be knOcker,
You cannot afford bad roads.
The laborer should be interested in
the road question.
Soft roads and slushy streets add to
the cost of everything.
Good roads do mean more than a
mere pleasure course for automobiles.
1t costs more money TO do without
good roads than it will to build them.
Improved roads are the best advcr-
tiscment a State can have.
As soon as we get down to brass
tacks on the road question and agree
upon a system to be built the kind of
roads to construct and an equitable
way to pay or them the country will
fall over itself getting away from the
old mud roads,
Get together.

For Keeping Doors in Place,

The best way to hold rolling doors
to their place at the bottom is to build
up with concrete and make race
where the door may run free, yet can
not get out of. This prevents the wind
swinging the door outward at the bot
tom and slamminp it against the build !.
