Water, not cold, is the cause OF the
deterioration OF roads in winter, &C
cording 10 the road specialists OF the
department. Cold weather does not
in itself injure roads, no matter
whether they are earth, gravel, or
macadam. In fact, an earth road will
stand more traffic when II Is solidly
frozen than at any other time. Ex-
cess water, however, Is always detri-
mental TO a highway. When cold
weather turns this water into ice,
the damage that IL does Is greatly in
creased. Ice occupies considerably
more space than the water from
which IL Is formed, and every person
who has lived in a cold climate is
familiar with the powerful bursting
effect OF water when left TO freeze in
a confined vessel. The same action
takes place when a wet road freezes
- any considerable depth. II simply
bursts, or, as we generally term II in
road parlance, the road heaves. Lat
or. when the frost leaves, the road Is
disintegrated and ruts badly. n this
process is repeated a number OF
times during the winter, gravel or
macadam road may be practically
destroyed. while an earth road may
become entirely impossible.
A dry road will not heave. Rock,
gravel. sand, and even clay when
perfectly dry contract slightly on
freezing. In order 10 expand on
freezing. these materials must con-
tain or be mixed with water. and the
more water they contain the greater
the expansion which takes place.
But so long as the road remains
frozen the damage does not become
apparent. Hence the frequent and
erroneous idea that IL Is the thaw
mich Injuries the road. The injury
was done when the water in the road
froze and the particles OF the road
surface-brokcn stone. sand. or still
finer particles Of earth or clay were
pushed apart by the expanding
power Of the freezing water. The
thaw merely allows the ice TO melt
and assume its original volume as
water.
The remedy is self-evident. Keep
the water out OF the road. The time

THE HEAVEN THAT HORSES
WOULD CHOOSE

In the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside appear the following state
ments OF the kind OF heaven horses
would choose:
in horse heaven the load in hot
weather is made light.
The driving is slow.
The horse is watered very fire.
quently IL he Is kept moving, but
not Just before he is TO be allowed
10 stand.
AFTER he has had his evenings
hay he is watered. How would you
like trying TO go TO sleep after
eating dry crackers without a sup
OF water?
His feet are bathed, but not his
legs.
"If IL is very hot he Is sponged
all over with water in which has
been put a little vinegar; but the
hose Is never turned on him.
"He is never made TO wear one Of
those horrid bell-shaped horse hats.
IF his stall is so hot that he
sweats at night, he is tied outside,
well bedded down. This gives him
a chance TO regain strength for the
next days work.
"Such horse heaven may be es-
tablished on almost any farm"

keep his Percherons in show-yard
condition on the same feed that 1t
requires to keep his Shires and Clydes-
dales In good condition.
Surely here is q subject worthy OF
consideration by the intending pur'
chaser.
The thing that most serves to arouse
my admiration for the breed is their
wonderful disposition. We find In
them q combination Of almost all the
best traits of horsefiesh.
They are ever on their mettle. yet
not nervoussor fretful. They are free,
prompt workers and always willing.
They always keep their heads" II is
very seldom we find one that 10 over
headstrong.
We have reached an age when the
demands of the times are for the large,
yet early maturing animal The Per
cheron comes very near to filling this
bill.

FEW PRACTICAL DAIRY HINTS
Pure Food Laws Won't Worry " Only
Clean, Wholesome Products Are
Sent to the Markets.

When counting the by-products Of
the dairy. do not forget the skim milk
allowed to clabber. Of which the de-
licious Dutch or cottage cheese Is
made. When not all is needed on the
home table. II can readily be disposed
Of at good prices.
Send out only clean. wholesome food
products. then the pure food laws will
have no worry for you.
Don't feed lice. get rid of them. II
the stock has been clearly kept. there
will be no lice to get rid Of. Very
seldom Is q COW or calf lousy when In
good condition. Keep their stalls and
premises clean. give wholesome feed
and enough Of 1t. and the cows will not
raise lice.
A little corn or bran will not hurt
the cows and will save many steps of
getting up the cows to milk. Don't
forget tho salt at the regular time.
Grass requires more salt than did the
dry feed Of winter.
Feed the calves enough to have them
do well. Allow them the run of q
grassy, shaded lot. and unless sup
piled naturally with water. be sure to
keep some before them.
Too rich feed may give the young
calf indigestion. Guard against this.
as after once becoming out OF FIX. It Is
much harder to regulate. Keep them
well and keep them growing. This is
true Of all young stock. the only way
to make a profit Of It is to keep 1t
growing.

TREES FOR CITY PLANTING.
Elm Has Been q Failure In New Eng
land.


The love and veneration Of the New
England mind for the elm is so great
that II is hard to acknowledge that
this tree is almost total failure In
city planting, says the Boston Tran
script As matter Of fact, the liabil-
ity Of the elms and naples to insect
attacks, the brittleness of some of the
naples and the sensitiveness Of both
trees to dust and gas conditions unfit
them for the test Of a strong gale.
On the long path Of the common a
sturdy English elm, not old nor de-
crepit. was reft I'm twain by the wind
Near 1t stands a red oak which lost
not a single twig or leaf. The young
oaks planted In recent years In the Ar
mold arboretum, in the parkway near
the Forest Hills section, in the Back
Bay Fens. In Brookline and elsewhere,
are Joy to the eye and a solid assur-
ance of arboreal beauty in the future.
Not only do these young oaks with
stand the storms and the insect pests,
but they appear quite Indifferent to
dust, to gases, to excavation and to
all the city conditions which prove SO
disturbing to the elms and American
naples. Oaks, planes, Norway naples
Indicate themselves through every test
Of storm and insect plague to be the
best trees for city planting. 1t is GER
tainly a sad thing to bid farewell to
a single elm or sugar maple, for no
trees are more deeply loved by our
people or with better reason In long
association and the record Of noble
sheltering service. but 1t is apparently
farewell which Is ordained by the
powers Of nature.

Ration for Dairy Cows.

The average grain ration for dairy
cows should contain at least one
pound OF cottonseed meal. as feeding
this material results In a firmer fat
and harder butter. The greasy APP
pearance In the butter Is caused by
the softness OF the fat globules. and
the addition Of the cottonseed meal
will remedy this matter.

The President at Prayer.-T

The President at Prayer.-The
story is told that at a recent cabi-
net meeting, at the time when it
looked as if the United States might
be drawn into the European war in
spite of all that could be done. Presi-
dent Wilson said to the members of
the cabinet as they assembled: Cen
tlemen, 1 don't know whether you be-
lieve in prayer or not, but 1 do. Let
us ask divine guidance before we
begin our deliberations" And then,
the story goes, the president knelt,
the cabinet members knelt with him,
and he offered a fervent prayer.
We are prone to think of this as a
cold and materialistic age. We hear
little of prayer by laymen, either pub
lie or private. 1t is therefore all the
more refreshing and inspiring to read
of the president of the United States
and his cabinet kneeling in prayer in
the face of a great crisis 1t will give
all of us, whether we are in the habit
of prayer or not, faith and hope and
courage.
Those who do not pray themselves
have faith in the man who does pray.
The man who prays is not apt to go
wrong. He will try to do right, and
that is more than half of any battle
