GOOD ROADS BENEFIT TO
NON ABUTTING PROPERTIES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The road
building specialists of the department
Of agriculture, in bulletin No. 1876, en-
titled Highway Bonds" have the fol-
lowing to say about the benefit of a
well constructed highway TO property
owners whose property is not directly
on the road to be improved:
In planning the highway system or
the main market roads it will be
found necessary to omit many roads
the Improvement of which is greatly
desired by abutting landowners. The
fact that such property holders must
pay a tax fer the bond issue is only
an apparent injustice, for if the high
way system is well planned the en-
tire county will feel the benefits OF
the Improvement. AS a rule, main
market roads reach the majority OF
producing areas, and when they are
improved all land values tend to in
crease.
The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build highways outside of
their own limits is sometimes made a
point Of debate in bond elections 1t
is argued that because a large part OF
the county wealth is within the cor
porate limit OF such cities and towns,
highway bond money should also be
used to construct their streets. 1t is
even urged that the expenditure
should be made proportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city
limits. II the proceeds OF highway
bond issues were distributed in this

Fall Fertilizers Are Needed to
Stipulate Growth and Save Lawn

To stimulate the growth OF a lawn
and to improve its appearance for the
following spring. no better treatment
can be recommended than the appli-
cation OF properly rotted manure in
the late fall. according TO the United
States department of agriculture's
specialist. This application should
not be made until after the frosts have
stopped the growth of the grass. Ten
to twenty-five horse loads should be
applied to the acre, according as the
soil is more or less rich.
1t is most important that tho man
ure should be thoroughly rOtted before
application so that all weed seeds are
killed; otherwise damage done by
weeds will more than offset the fer
tilizing value of the application. Man
ure really needs careful handling be-
fore II is suited for spreading over the
lawn. Unless 1t is properly com
posted" IL may have most Of its valua-
BILE constituents destroyed by improper
handling. To compost manure
properly it should be treated as fol-
lows:
Pile all manure in heaps with alter
nate layers of sod or other litter. Keep
it wet enough so il will not burn. Let
IL stand a whole year through summer
anu NlHleI, II over Two OF
three times during the year. 1t Will
then be ready for use on the lawns
and danger from weed seeds will be
minimiZed.
Ground Bone Meal and Wood Ashes.
Many people object to the use of man
ure at all. not only because OF the
danger from weed seeds, but because
OF its unsightly and insanitary ap-
pearance. These will undoubtedly
l., IL. -.
most economical substitute is finely
ground bone or bone meal This
should be applied at the rate of from
800 pounds to one ton per acre, &C
cording as the ground is more or less
rich. IT should cost between s25 and
$40 a ton.
With the bone meal, 1t is desirable
TO use double the quantity of wood
ashes. These ashes contain consider
able lime in a very desirable form, as
we'll as other valuable clements How
ever they are apt to be more or less
costly.
Ordinarily muriate OF potash would
be found more economical than wood
ashes, although the potash does not
contain the lime which the other fer
tilizer imparts to the soil. On account
of the European war, the potash may
prove more difficult to obtain than
the wood ashes. Only one-tenth the
Quantity of potash should be used as

The potash nav be sown separately
or mixed with the bone NAL as desir-

applications should be made before
the ground freezes permanently fol

Five States Under Quarantine

WASHINGTON, u. C.-The quar-
antine Of live stock on account OF out
breaks Of the foot and mouth disease
has been extended 10 cover the entire
area of the states Of Michigan. Indi-
ana, Illinois and PENNSYLVANIA. In ad-
dition. restrictions have been placed
upon shipments OF stock from Ohio.
The order extending this quarantine
was signed by the secretary OF agri-
culture November 2nd, and goes into
effect Immediately.
The provisions OF this quarantine
are practically the same as those pre-
viOusly announced for a few counties
in Michigan and Indiana. No cattle,
sheep or swine can be shipped from
these states in interstate commerce,
and all fodder and animal products OF
every sort which might possibly con-
vey the disease must be thoroughly
disinfected.
The quarantined states are not only
prohibited from shipping cattle TO un-
infected areas, but they cannot even
send shipments of stock from one in
fected area to another.

EUROPEAN WAR PUTS NEW
LIFE IN LIVE STOCK SHOW

The European war concerns every
American citizen, Nobody knows
which side VIII win. We know that
we are not responsible for the terrible
struggle. Our national feeling is one
of profound sympathy with the suffer-
erS, regardless of their nationality, be-
cause they are human and thousands
of us are related to them by blood. In
deed, in large sense. they are all our
brothers. In recognition of that fact
it is our privilege and opportunity to
DO whatever we properly may toward
restoring the essentials Of ordered life
after the conflict shall have ceased.
This is the purely human side Of the
case. There is another.
1t is inevitable that the United States
should, in commercial sense, be the
beneficiary Of the war. This is an ac-
cident which we as the friends Of
mankind deplore, but which as a ma
ton of producers we are compelled to
regard as an extraordinary opportunity
for the expansion Of our productive
industries. Eventually America will
be the overwhelming victor, because
with her vast resources and uninter-
rupted activity, she will be required TO
assume the foremost rank as the
worlds provider. This is a decree of
the fates; our hands are clean. we shall

In regions where cOttonseed meal
may be obtained at a price not over
S25 per ton, II may lie used satisfact-
orily in the place of the ground bone.
Tankage and fish scraps are even
richer in important elements than
ground bone, but are frequently in bad
mechanical condition for handling
(that is, they contain hair or other
foreign coarse matter.) Their bad
odOr also makes them Objectionable.
Prepared sheep manure is an excel
lent dressing. AS it has been steril-
lied by drying and rendered odorless,
there are not the objections to it that
there might be 10 ordinary manure. Its
one drawback is eXpensivenesS.
To protect worn places. If there
are any parts OF the lawn which will
be tramped over when they are not
frozen, and especially when snow is
melting there, these parts should be
protected to prevent persons from cut
ting across. Tramping on the turf
when it is covered by slJsh or snow
is as destructive TO a lawn as almost
anything else.
1t is hardly necessary 10 say that
nothing will be gained by scattering
grass seed on the lawn at this season.

Florida the Last and the Best
The essential to perfect farming is transportation
and soil. Florida has every other state in the Union

herself to be the winter garden of this continent she

Increase of Exports in Food

showing remarkable gains in cOmpar-

An analysis of the September trade

Exports of fresh beef during the
month of September amounted 10
more than seven million pounds, or
