DIRT ROAD is THE CHEAPEST
Most Satisfactory Highway in Nine
Tenths Of Territory-3ig objec-
ton to Macadamized Roads.

The time may come when we can
make cement roads. They will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 mile and they
may be so smooth, if we learn to make
them properly, that the children liv.
ing on these lines of road can go to
school on roller skates, as they do in
some places down in Maryland.
There may be some satisfactory
combination Of sand and clay; but,
speaking for the prairie lands, the best
and the cheapest road we can get over
nine.tenths of the territory is the dirt
road. The more clay there is in it,
the better the dragged road will be.
There is no better road than the gum
DO road, If it is properly dealt
with.
1t Is really pity that the drag is so
simple and cheap. If it had cost SIS
or $50, and was painted red then the
farmers would think something of it.
The main reason why it has not come
into more common use is that it is so
cheap and simple in construction and
so easy to handle.
Someone may ask: Why is it that
there was no objection to macadam-
lied roads twenty or thirty years ago?
Simply because we did not have the
automobile. MacAdam, that Scotch.

RHODE ISLAND WHITE BREED
They Are Equal of Any as Table Fowl,
Being Of Size Which Suits the
Average Housewife.

tBy NJ. E. BEMIS, Phoenix, Ariz)
The advice to go slow on new
breeds is unquestionably good. To
try each new breed that is heralded
is to invite disaster. There is an old
adage which applies as well to poultry
as to styles in hats, BE not the first
to try the new nor yet the last to lay
The old aside" In the matter Of
choosing a new breed of poultry, one
should have some good reason, and if
perchanoe your inclination causes
you to fancy one Of the new or newer
breeds, there should be no reason for
discarding this variety just. because
it is new. All varieties were
new once.
Of the new breeds which are likely
to make good, the Rhode Island White
has many qualities which should at.
tract the breeder who is looking for
fowl which will lay and pay. The
Rhode Island White has been bred
now for more than ten years. The
bird is the same size and type as the
Rhode Island Red, the only difference
being the color, which is, of course,
of pure white, The breed originated
from cross of the Cochin with Wy.
andotte, this cross mated to Cochin.
and the resulting birds mated with a
Rose Comb White Leghorn 1t seems
that pretty nearly all the good quail.
ties Of each have been combined in
this breed. AS table fowl they are
the equal of any and, being of a size
which seems to suit the average
housewife. they fill the bill better than
a larger or a smaller bird would.

REsT0REf FERTILITY OF LAND
Live Stock Farming Is surest, Cheap.
est and Quickest Method
Few Crops Sold.

Where lands have been cropped to
death" as some plain people aptly
term it, live stock farming is the sur.
est, cheapest and quickest method Of
restoring its fertility In live stock
farming the crops raised on the farm
are grown primarily for the purpose
of feeding one or more classes of live
stock, and but little is sold except ami.
nal products. On the other hand,
concentrated feeding stuffs are pur.
chased for feeding the farm animals
which adds to the amount of fertility
returned to the land in manure. Since
the animal products sold do not as
general rule, contain large quantities
OF. fertilizing ingredients, it is easy to
rapidly increase the fertility of land
by this system Of farming.

CARE IN HOG BREEDING PAYS
Breeder Must Choose the Breed That
Most Nearly Conforms to His
Particular Purpose.

Hogs are peculiarly susceptible to
environment and rapidly improve or
retrograde through the infusion Of
good or inferior blood Because of the
ease with which they take advantage
or improved conditions and the won
derful improvement to be noted in
form and size, no other class Of live
stock furnishes more satisfaction tothe
conscientious breeder. He has many
different qualities to choose from, all
good, but not all alike suited in tem-
permanent to one locality or one meth
cd Of management
Then, again, different types attract
different tastes, and the breeder must
choose the breed that most nearly
conforms to his particular purpose
and preference, remembering always
to select animals showing strong in
the points and characteristics of the
breed chosen, says the Orange Judd
Farmer.
IN breeding for Improvement In any
variety much can be accomplished.
improvements may be discernible with
each effort if rightly conducted and a
breeder may reasonably expect salts
factory results in molding a hog to his
own ideas within three or four genera
lions. With such rapid progress swine
breeding proves extremely fascinating,
but great danger lies hidden in such
rapid progress.
Stimulated by each pronounced i'm
provement of the shape of ear, length
of leg, color or formation OF body, the
breeder must not overlook the fact
that the farmer is essentially practical
He cares little whether the ear has an
artistic droop or stands upright, |
whether the hair is straight, curly
black white or red. He wants hog
that will produce the largest amount |
OF revenue in the shortest time with |
the least expenditure. To this end it
stands the breeder in hand to have for
his ideals hog large in size, strong
in bone, with well-shaped hams and
shoulders, one that will fatten quickly

growing of hogs for slaughter a

and feeding methods are followed.
In the spring, summer and fall
there are many crops for pasturing
hogs, but during the winter the crops
to select from are limited On almost
every farm the production and keep.
ing of hogs in winter is expensive, and
generally it is not profitable for the
reason that large quantities of corn
are fed without products of green
crops. More winter grazing is needed,
for which many crops are adapted.
The most reliable are, however, rape,
rye, oats, wheat and barley.
For grazing purposes these pastur-
ing crops for hogs should be sown on
specially well drained and prepared
land that is either rich or has re-
ceived a liberal application of ma.
nure. Good winter pasturage is not
obtained except on the best.drained
lands
The seeding should be heavy to in

plants will grow slowly in the winter
and many plants will be needed to
furnish plenty of pasture. Crimson
clover will do well with rape, rye, oats,

ROAD BREAKER IS CIVILIZER
Mans Scale Is Very Correctly Tested
by His Attitude Toward Some
Obstruction in Road.

The civilized man makes roads;
the savage does not. That is the
safest test of civilization.
Among us in all communities are
individuals who are not really civil
lied. They do not take any interest in
roads.
A mans scale in civilization is very
correctly tested by his attitude to-
ward the stone which has rolled into
the road, or the tree which has blown
down across it, writes Herbert Quick
in Farm and Fireside. The man who
drives around the obstacle day after
day is one sort of man, the one who
stops his team and rolls or drags it
away is another. And a person pass
ing along a road which he does not
expect to retraCe, who removes the
obstruction for the sake of the stran-
ger who comes after him, responds
to very high test of civilization. He
feels socially.
When the snow piles up in the road
the man who goes ahead and breaks
the path for others bears the burden
which he who has made progress al
ways must bear. There is snow in
every road-to cooperation, to better
schools, to better business methods.
There must be road breakers for every
path.
The road breaker is the great civil
lizer.

NAMING THE TWINS
Some Perturbation in the Butter
wick Household.
Head of Family Made Many Sugges.
tions, But Did Not Seem to Take
the Subject Seriously Enough
to Please His Wife.

A friend Of Butterwick's, who stayed
at his house a short time after the
twins were born, overheard the follow
ing conversation between the fond par
ents one night after all hands had re
tired. He was in the adjoining room
Mrs. B.-What shall we call the
twins, Henry, dear?
B.-O, | dunno. Almost any good
names. How would Moses and Aaron
do, or Cain and Abel?
Mrs. B.-You ought to be ashamed
of yourself to want to name, one of
your own children after a murderer!
You might have hunted the whole
Bible through without finding anything
worse!
30, we'll, call them Shadrach, Me-
shach and Abednego, then.
Mrs. B.-You know very well that
there are only two twins, and that
they can't have three names divided
equally between them. | hate Scrip
ture names, anyhow. l want to call
them after some distinguished man.
B.-Well, name one Of them John D.
Rockefeller and the other Schwab.
Mrs. Bid rather die on the spot
than have a child of mine named a
sWab.
B-How'll Klodderdatch or Gutcha-
koff suit you?
Mrs. B.-Butterwick, you know l
can't abide those German names. You
would infiict a curse on your innocent
boy if you would send him through the
world with such a name as Klodder-
datch Butterwick. You know very we'll
that you would. prefer an American
name. One that belongs to this coun-
try. -"
B.-Very we'll, then call one of them
Spotted Tail and the other Hole in the
Day. Those are indigenous to this
continent.
Mrs. B.-Mr. Butterwick, if you are
going to turn the subject into ridicule
! will get up and dress myself and go
downstairs. You shan't insult me to
my face, anyhow. You know we'll
enough that meant some white Amer
lean name.
BLOW would Smith and Jones
answer?
Mrs. BID rather bury both of
them in one grave. Why don't you
suggest some distinguished American
name?
Bob, all right. There's Benedict
Arnold and Martin Van Buren,.
Mrs. B.-They shall never have
those names with my consent.
BLOW about Adams?
Mrs. B.-That's only one name and
there are two babies.
B.-Well, call one "a" and the
other Dams"
Mrs. B.-Mr. Butterwick if you use |
language like that again I'll go home
70 mothers this very night.
B.-Well, then, if you must have the
names of celebrated Americans, call
me "Tilly" Slowboy" and the other
'Toodles.'
Mrs. B.-Were they prominent men? |

WHITE HOLLAND is FAVORED
Breed Of Turkeys That Do Not Wan
der Away From Home-Hens Nest
In Any Convenient Place.

Until recently the Mammoth Bronze
turkey was in a class by ITSELF and
was known as the king of domestic
birds, but by scientific breeding the
White Holland variety has become a
close rival of the old favorite and
promises to gain in popularity over
the Bronze within a very few years,
says an Illinois writer in Farmers
Review.
There was a time when l read ad-
Vertisements which described the
White Holland turkey as the kind
that stays at home l could scarce.
ly believe that it was in accordance
with turkeys nature, whatever breed
they CHANGED to be, to stay at home.
Personal experience has proved that
the White Holland will not wander
as do the Bronze and Bourbon Red,
the only other varieties of the tur.
key family with which l am &C.
quainted.
In the laying season White Holland
hens are content to nest in any build
ing about the place, in straw sheds or
nearby shocks of corn and do not
resent being disturbed.
When the poults are very young it
is not necessary to keep the turkey
hen penned up more than a week, for
she will go only few yards from the
coop, as she seems to realize the help
tessness of her flock. Later, as the
turkeys grow larger and stronger, the
mother hens pick their way slowly
through an adjoining meadow or field
for a few hours each day, always COM
ing home early in the afternoon. Al
no time during the summer or fall
do they go any distance from home,
