opera house equal in every way to

towns than this. There is no doubt
but such one will be well patron
lied. especially, BY the best road

be commended for the enterprise
shown in providing one here for as

SECURE THE CLEANEST MILK
Barns Should Be Kept UnpoIIuted and
Yards Free From Manure and
Litter of All Kinds,

These rules are given for the clean
est milk obtainable with only little
more than ordinary care: Barns should
be kept clean and well ventilated, the
yards free from and litter and
drained SO that no water will stand
there. Before milking, the COWS
should be brushed around the TANKS
and udder with a stiff brush; this
should be followed with a damp cloth
which will remove many of the dust
particles and so dampen the others
that they will stick to the COW during
the process of milking. The mixer
should keep his hands dry during the
milking. Milking with damp hands
is a filthy process and is apt to cause
the teats of a cow to chafe and be.
come a source of annoyance. The milk
should be removed from the barn or
milking pen to a milk house just as
soon as possible after it is drawn. The
milk should be separated and the
cream cooled as soon as possible after
milking.

ROAD"
BUILDING
IMPROVE ROADS IN ILLINOIS
Expected That State viii Spend
Nearly $4,000 o 900 for Better High
ways in Next Few Years.

By H. A. JEFFRIES. Membe of Illinois
Good Roads Association
Illinois has been one of the last
states to take W seriously the prob.
lem of improving it's roads, bu now it
is going into it with a determination
to make big advancement / Il a short
time. A commission OF Illinois road
enthusiasts has been touring the
states. inspecting roads and investi.
eating the methods of road building.
1t is expected that the state will spend
IN the next few years nearly 5000, O00,.
600 for good roads, and necessarily
u people want to get the best roads
possible.
The question Of whether there shall
be macadam roads. brick roads or on.
crete roads is n to be determined.
Many of the new roads are of mac.
adam construction, and there has been
q lot of sentiment for the brick high.
ways. Concrete roads have been OBJ
6ected to largely because of the great
cost Of construction. It costs $4,000
q mile for an 18-foot concrete road,
and this initial outlay is so great that
1t ordinarily scares any community.
The advantage of the concrete road,
however, lies il the small cost of
maintenance.
The expense of keeping up a con-
crete road, it is said, is less than $50
. year per mile, with the experience
Of New York, Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania shows that 1t
costs $500 a mile to maintain mac
adam and brick roads.
1t makes no difference what kind of
construction, so long as we get i'm
proved roads, and we can we'll afford
later on to change the style Of road
II we get a first-class highway across
the continent, which, I believe, will
be accomplished in the next ten
years.

to the dairyman's advantage to belong
to this class. The proposition con.
fronting the dairyman today is not
primarily a matter Of location, soil
or climate; it is he, himself, that
stands in the way of his own progress.
Few people realize what intelligence,
care and study, what patience, obser.
walton and experience are needed to
make a good dairyman, to interpret
to the mind the language of the COW
in such a manner as to understand
her every need and be able to properly
supply 1t. The inherent and fatal
weakness of many people is that they
wholly ignore the really important
and decisive factor of success in all
fields of human activity, viz, trained
and intelligent judgment, based on
sound theory and practice. The cause
and cure for the tackwardness Of the
dairyman is in his mind, and in the
solution Of his problems chief promi.
hence must be given to the human fac.
tor. The trouble with many dairymen
is that they think they know, which is
the worst possible kind of ignorance.
"The first step of knowledge is to
know that we are ignorant" Our

WILL STAY
DECREE OF PARTISAN AR1lTERa
OF FASHION.
Styles Are Varied, but That Partlcu-
lar One Is to Be a Leading Fea.
lure of the Season-Pot Hat
Goes With Il,

Cheruit, leading Paris modiste, in
sists upon the redingote that reaches
the hem of the skirt, and as Jenny
also takes up the idea, it is posi-.
BILE that the fashion will be generally
seen over here.
Jenny is not as great an artist as
Cheruit, but she is popular and
pleases the Americans. This season
she has repeated her success of last
spring and she will now begin to sui.
fer the fruits of popularity among
Americans; she will be exploited by
all the trade and wholesale houses,
her models will be copied in every
kind of cheap material and sold for
$50 or less, and the fastidious woman,
along with the exclusive dressmakins
houses and specially shops, will be
intent upon search for and wondering
where they can c models to Of
fer to the women who will pay good
prices, but who refuse the exploited
fashions Of the shops.
Every great dressmaker of Paris
has suffered from an excess of favor
itism here. AS soon as the whole
saler or those who cater to the trade
Of the shops offer hundreds of models
from one house, the country is flooded
with them, the fashion is soon done
for, and the dressmakers lose trade.
Well, whatever the result, here is
the r%edingote and the pot hat as the
leading features of the season. The
former is easier to veal than the lat
ter, but they go admirably together.
The redingote is able to stand a Law
ish amount of fur, and it looks as
though women will shortly resemble
the men Of Peary's arctic expedition.
Even the chins are to be smothered
in peltry.
The simpler redingote, however, will
be more dignified. The best models
are in dark blue, of course for there
is no genuine diversion from this color
for street clothes, and there is not
an inch Of trimming on it except q
position collar of satin or velvet. It
