In a recent sermon" in Phila-
delphia, Billy Sunday spoke the
truth for once in his life. He said !:
THE biggest coward in America to-
day is the business man" That is
the only true thing this celebrated
Truth Teller has said in years. The
business man is a coward because he
submits to men like Billy Sunday
because he submits to the politi-

sert himself, and run the country,

lectual cripples to run It'd

for the following characteristics in
animals which they intend to finish for
the market:
Steers, IL they are to make profit

They must have strong frame and

THE animal should have a straight

ROADS AND ROAD MATERIALS
Highway Should Be No More Expen.
sive Than Traffic Warrants, and
Materials Suited TO Traffic.

CBy v. M. CONE, Colorado Agricultural
College.)
Roads and road materials are the
subject of much discussion all over
the country. Most of our roads arc
still being patched up, or, which is
still worse, being turned upside down
periodically with pillow and scraper,
and soft road is the certain result.
However, some good roads are being
built each year. Roads are bust
ness. II they are good roads they
are a good business, If they are bad
roads they are bad business. A road
should be no more expensive than the
traffic warrants, and the materials of
which the road is constructed must be
suited to the traffic
Cobble stones are good roads for

ments are excellent for pleasure We.

as foolish in many cases to have an
asphaltum pavement on a country
road, as a dirt street in the busy traf-
fic district of city.

METHOD FOR DOCKING LAMBS
Operation Should BE Performed When
Youngsters Are About Ten Days
Oid-Short Tail Desired.

Docking should be done when the
lambs are about ten days old. The
easiest method is to place the lamb
between the operators legs, its rear
end in front of him. The operator lifts
the tail and with a heavy knife pushes
the skin half way on the underside
Of the third vertebra back to Its juno.

sharp cut he sewers the tail at this
point Many shepherds leave the tail
one vertebra longer. but short tail
Is greatly to be desired since II can.
not collect so much manure.
Very seldom. IL the lamb is locked
early, will there be sufficient bleeding
to cause any material harm. II pro.
fuse bleeding does occur, cord should
be tied very tightly around the stump
OF the tail. Pincers heated to high
temperature, may also be used for this
purpose, and by many are preferred,
The tail is severed by closing them
upon IT, The stump is scared or
burned. which completely prevents
bleeding. However, burn will not
heal so quickly as a clean cut, and in
the former condition suppuration or
the formation of pus underneath the
scab may occur
OF course, there is a greater liabil-
ity of dangerous infection where the
knife, without cauterization. is used,
since the scared surface tends to pre-
vent the entrance of bacteria. Infec-
ton, however, can be avoided by the
maintenance of Clearly and sanitary
surroundings. The pincers can salts
factorily be adopted for docking lambs
several weeks old, when the contin-
gency Of bleeding is more likely.

PEOPLE TO BE TRUSTED.

The reason why governments have
not done and are not doing their duty
toward the suppression of alcohol is
in the last analysis, says Congressman
Hobson, based on the absence of pub.
Tic opinion on the part of the masses
as to the true nature of alcohol and
the appalling results that come from
its use. And DIR. T ID. Crothers, the
noted expert on alcoholism, declares
that IF the actual effects Of alcohol
were known by the people, prohibiting
its use would follow as a natural and
reasonable demand" To bring to the
people knowledge concerning the ma.
ture of alcohol and its effects upon the
Individual, the family, the state. is the
purpose of the organized campaign OF
education now being carried on
throughout the land from remote coun.
tryside to halls of congress. Given
the facts. the intelligent people oil
this nation will soon settle the liquor
question and settle II right. Bring the
truth to the masses!

repairs needed in order to keep roads
good, and that is not done without ex.
pense. In fact, the maintenance and
depreciation charges are usually great
er for good roads than for ordinary
roads, but goods roads are worth the
extra expense, and they are, therefore,
good business.
Many people speak of the surface
OF good road as though IL were an
arch which must support the weight
Of traffic, but the chief concern in
properly constructed good roads Is the
wear on the road surface material,
caused by the grinding action of
wheels and the suction action of rapid
ly moving automobile tires. which re-
move the fine dust and binding ma
terials, exposing the coarser and more
compact material.
Macadam, one of the most famous
road builders, laid down three rules
for making a good road: % Good
Drainage, (2) Better Drainage, go
Still Better Drainage; or, In other
words, "A good road has a tight roof
and dry cellar" Proper drainage to
prevent water from getting into the
road from beneath and good surface
to cause the rainfall to run Off before
entering the foundation, will insure a
good road, because well-packed earth
foundation will sustain the weight OF
ordinary country traffic without break.
ing through II the surface is not pre-
served, the foundation Of the road will
be damaged, and this applies to dirt
as we'll as rock roads, for In many
cases we find that earth roads are the
most advisable kind OF good roads and
all that the traffic wants.
II is necessary to keep the roof
tight. Do not allow holes to remain
in the road surface, for If they are not
repaired the water will collect in them
and run through into the foundation.
