coal. Bountiful, as the words forma-
ton should show, means merely 'full
of bounty" Is a load of coal full of
bounty? The man who sent the coal
as gift was bountiful. But the coal
is not. Do you see the difference?
Balance-A- balance is an instru-
ment for weighing and the word al
so means the difference between two
sides of an account. To balance means
to counterpoise or to compare. Yet
people say, 81 am off for the balance
of the day." or "'The balance of the
members refused to vote" Balance in
such sense is in no sense at all.
Calculate-One speaks of cold
weather as Calculated" to freeze the
ponds; of overwork as Calculated" to
cause breakdown. This is all wrong
Calculate" means to compute or to
plan You may calculate a way out
of difficulty. But do you imagine
that the cold weather made calcula-
ton to freeze the ponds or that peo-
pie overwork with calculation that
thereby they will be able to break
down? Calculation implies fore
thought; not mere logical, but unex-
planned possibilities.

Do YOU MISUSE WORDS?

Here's A Group Misused Each Day
in Ordinary Conversation
Affable-We speak of man as "af-
fable" to his friends, his employer,
his family. "Affable," rightly used,
implies only kindly bearing toward
an inferior. A king, thus, may be
"affable' to his servants. A man
cannot be "affable" to his equals or
superiors.
Aggravate-This word is one of the
worst abused in the language. One
refers to an "aggravating" toothache
or noise or bit Of i'll luck. "Aggra-
vate" literally means ito add weight
to- or to increase" BY piling ex-
ira burdens on yourself you "aggra-
vate" your present burdens. But an
noyances or burdens cannot "aggra-
vate" you. They do not add to your
weight or increase you.
"Apt"-Here is a term that most
people use to define likely" "He is
apt to do it, means with them "he is
likely to do it." APT" really means
prompt" "clever" or "deft." He
is an "apt" pupil. But we cannot
say he will be "apt" to become a
pupil.
Dilapidate-Misused in nine out of
ten instances. "Dilapidate' means to
remove one stone of structure from
another. A tumble-down stone build
ing is "dilapidated." But a wooden
house cannot be. Nor can coat or a
hat or anything else that is not made
of stone.
Bountiful-One speaks of a "boun-
tiful" table; ''bountiful" supply of

the split-log drag or some similar
device is destined to come into more
and more general use. With the drag
properly built and its use well I'M
derstood, the maintenance of earth
and gravel roads becomes simple
and inexpensive matter. Care should
be taken to make the log so light
that one man can lift it with ease,
as light drag can be drawn by two
medium sized horses and responds
more readily to various methods of
hitching and the shifting position of
the operator than heavier one. The
best material for the drag is dry
cedar log, though elm, walnut, box
elder or soft maple are excellent. The
log should be from seven to ten feet
long and from eight to ten inches in
diameter. 1t should be split carefully
as near the center as possible, and
the heaviest and best slab chosen for
the front. When the soil is moist,
but not sticky, the drag does the best
work.
Crown With Machine
The earth road can best be crowned
and ditched with a road machine and
not with picks and shovels, scoops and
plows. If the road is composed of fine
clay or soil, it will sometimes pay to
re-surface it by the "top soil method"
using soil from an adjacent field which
has sand or gravel mixed with it.
Storm water should be disposed of
quickly. This can be done by giving
the road a crown or slope from the
center to the sides. For an earth road
which is twenty-four feet wide the
center should be not less than six in
ches nor more than twelve inches
higher than the outer edges of the
shoulder.
Traffic Regulates Width
The width of the earth road will de-
pend on the traffic As rule, twenty
five or thirty feet from ditch to ditch
is sufficient if the road is properly
crowned. Ordinarily the only bitches
needed are those made with the road
machine, which are wide and shallow.
Deep, narrow bitches wash rapidly.
especially on steep slopes. The earth
road should not be loosened, dug up.
or plowed up any more than is alb
solutely necessary. 1t should be grad
ually raised, not lowered, hardened
nor softened.-Farmer's Dispatch.

More Valuable Hints
on Building of Roads
Split-Log Drag Should Be Used When
the Earth Is Damp-It
Bakes Hard
MACHINERY is ESSENTIAL
Road Should Be Crowned" to AS
sure Prompt Drainage of All
Surface Water

1t is a great mistake to put off
working roads until August or Sep
TENDER, according to road experts of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. The roads should be
worked when the soil is damp to
make the soil bake when it dries out
Ii the roads are worked when they
are dry, it takes more power to draw
the machine, and besides dry earth
and dust retain moisture and quickly
rut after rains. The use of clods
sods, weeds or vegetable matter in
building earth roads should be avoid
ed because they also retain moisture.
Hard to Work When Dry
If the working of the roads is de-
ferred until the latter part of the sum-
mer, when the surface is baked dry
and hard, they are not only difficult
to work, but the work is unsatisfac-
tory when done. Earth which is loose
and dry will remain dusty as long as
the dry weather lasts, and then turn
to mud as the rains begin. By u.s.
ing the road machine in the spring,
while the soil is soft and damp, the
surface is more easily shaped and
soon packs down into dry hard crust,
which is less liable to become dusty
in summer and muddy in winter.
The Split-l0g. Drag
Repairs to roads should be made
when needed and not once a year af-
ter crops are laid by. Because of its
simplicity, efficiency and cheapness

NO INCOME TAX

On, ,--"r,n,ed Press,


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-Foresters
and lumbermen see in decision OF
the Treasury Department in regard to
the administration of the income tax
a strong argument for forestry. As
they interpret the opinion of the
treasury officials they understand
that no timberlands shall be subject
to the tax until the timber is cut and
marketed and that then the profit
only will be subject to an income tax
assessment. In other words, all
costs win be deducted before the tax
is levied, and these will cover the
cost of growing the timber, including
the cost of planting where necessary
and of protecting the growing crop
from fire and other depreciation.
