RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS
Department of Agriculture Advises
Cutting Out of Grades on High
ways to Save.Horses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agncuture)
The average life of horses and au'
tomobiles may be increased and the
cost of hauling reduced, according to
the Office of roads Of the department
of agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out of new ones. The natural tenden'
cy In road building is to build
straight road, whether 1t goes over
steep grades or hills, or not. and pull
Ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles.
The doctrine Of the office of roads IS
that the longest way around may often
be the shortest and most economical
way home. and that frequently by
building highway around hill or
grade, but little appreciate distance
is added and this is more than offset
by the reduced strain Of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view Is that the lay.
ing out of roads on this principle OF
avoiding grades necessitates. In some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures, in.
stead Of going around the farm line
and building the road through old
WORKOUT fields and over rocky knobs,
This, Of course, must raise a question
In the mind OF the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up OF
his property by a road yields him In
divtdual advantages and so benefits his
community as to offset the use OF such
land for a road. or to overcome the in
convenience Of having his land di.
vided. In this connection the office OF
roads points out that the running OF
road and the resulting traffic through
a good farm, where there are good
sheep, cattle, horses. grain, fruit or
vegetables. has a certain advertising
value and in many instances makes
the land more valuable. In other
cases, the importance of such level
road to the community is so great that

KEEP BOYS OFF THE STREET

Useful Citizens.

Addressing Philadelphia audience.
Ernest X Coulter, who can qualify as
an authority on child problems, de-
clared that more than half the cases
brought before the Children's court
grew out OF thWarted desire for play
Very frequently the craving for ex-
element and adventure, which more
fortunate youths may crafty IN ath-
letic contests, drive the street boy tG

graft and gangs. So-called reforma-
tories and prisons under the present
system operate to keep him there,
ONCE he has been convicted
The remedy Is Fairgrounds, and
more Fairgrounds. Philadelphia Is do
ing some work in this field. with its
recreation centers and Fairgrounds
and gymnasiums. But the work can
not now reach half of those who need
it. Money spent for Its extension Is
splendid investment, bearing inter

THRESHED OATS FOR FOWLS
Grain viii Sometimes Produce Crop

Threshed oats is fine for fowls, II

times produce crop-bound If fed too

bulky rations will produce crop-bound

oats is very valuable ration for fowls,
but we would prefer to feed 1t alter

wheat bran, hominy feed and shorts.
The standard weight for oats, says
the Indiana Farmer, is 80 pounds to

bered that tfasre is no grain SO vari-
able in weight per bushel as oats. Or

TREES HELP PUBLIC HEALTH
Besides Purifying the Air, They Help
to Make Cooler Summers and
Warmer Winters.

Men and animals have good reason
for their fondness for trees. 1t Is not
only because the trees add so much to
the beauty of our streets, or because
the attractiveness of rivers and lakes
and even of the seashore depends
largely upon the trees that we look
upon them as silent friends. They
help us in a more material way than
with their beauty, great as that help
may be- They add to our physica!
comfort and to our health.
Paris T. Farwell, in his "Village
Improvement" urges the necessity OF
planting and caring for trees for the
sake of the city's or villages beauty
and healthfulness.
The side of the street having the
most trees is the popular side IN sum
mer. That Is because it Is the coolest
by about 20 degrees, Mr.. Farwell tells
us, for "a full grown tree sends out
1877 gallons Of water through its
leaves into the air" Shading the
ground also serves to moderate the
heat And the air around the trees
is more pure. THE foliage takes In
carbonic acid gas. which Is poisonous
to us. and gives out oxygen, which Is
healthful, indeed Indispensable to
us" Medical authorities recognize
that trees promote the healthfulness

in addition to their benefits as wind

That it pays to have trees In the
town and city and on the farmstead Is
shown by the fact that real estate on

Monuments In Poor Locations.

The recently issued report OF the

From time to time there have
been submitted to the commission de-
signs Of monuments (chiefy statuary,
fountains and the like completely ex-
ecuted with the bronze parts cast, the
marble or granite cut and the entire
monument ready to be set up. Often
the entire work has been completed

regard to the location in which 1t Ii
proposed that the monument shall be
placed They are designed for an
abstract location. that Is to say, for
any location, but search for suitable
location nearly always results in fail
ure.
Most persons seem to have lost
sight of the fact that many Of the beau
tiful monuments of the past were de-
signed for particular sites, and conse-
uuently that the monument was made
to fit into its surroundings.
Our American cities, having In
most cases no important civic or re-
!igious centers. have grown without
any Intelligent or comprehensive plan,
and monuments have been lodged here
and there in streets and parks like

are they definitely related to anything

no more forlorn looking object than
a granite monument placed in the mid

It has come to be recognized that cit

tinct plan, and that the various parts
and objects in the city should bear

How To Strike Safety Matches.

1t is Il common thing with smokers
for their safety matchboxes to give
put on the striking side before all the
matches are used up. II they will keep
in mind just one thing, this can always
be averted. The safety striking part
is very quick on trigger. and needs
only slight contact, instead of long
scratch. Simply snap the end Of the
match quickly for about a quarter OF
an inch on the striking surface. In
this way the outside may always be
kept fresh and disable. The long scratch
OF course causes the match to ignite
before contact ceases. and the surface
is actually burnt up.
Some safety matches will strike on
