The road drag is simple instru-

time it does so much good that its
results are unbelievable by those who

Prevent Road Trouble.

Careful use of drag on a dirt road
that is already in reasonably good
condition. will almost entirely prevent
trouble from ruts mud holes or dust,
and give good service at low cost.

once commenced is difficult to break
off. Some farmers make it their GUS
tom to give to each COW her ration OF
provender before sitting down to milk
her. This appears to me to cause
needless labor. Unless there is some
other person present to do it, the
mixer must make a journey round
into the fodder gang every time he
milks COW. Thus, If there are TWEEN
ty cows to milk twenty journeys are
made, which must involve consider
able waste of time. The whole BUSH
ness can be done more expeditiously
by feeding the cows altogether before
commencing milking operations, and
IL the laborious habit referred to is
never started, the cows will never
miss that to which they have never
been accustomed.

WRONGED GIRL;
GIVEN FIVE YEARS

Inability to appreciate the
quality of mercy will cause How
ard G. Lehman, a former Tacoma
street car conductor, to spend sew
eral years of his ufe behind pris-
on walls.
Over year ago Lehman was
arrested for wronging an inno-
cent girl and tried before Judge
Clifford. Lehman declared with
much fervor that he was deeply
in love with the girl, but admitted
he was already married and not
yet divorced from his wife, al
though an action was pending.
After considering his earnest
pleas Judge Clifford told him he
would give him a chance to get
divorce and marry the girl after
six months had elapsed.
