have made San Domingo a couple of

colored people chasing one another
around with old-fashioned razors caus-

ROAD
BUILDING
POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
More Fuss Over Freight Rates Than
Cost Of Hauling Crops From
Farm TO Railroad.

A good deal of fuss is raised over
freight rates, and everybody who has
anything to do with the transportation
of crops or merchandise is up In arms
the moment railroads give the least
intimation that freight rates are to be
advanced. But at the same time, there
Is a strong tendency to give no atten-
ton to the cost Of hauling farm crops
from their point OF origin on the farm
to the railroad station; a matter OF
greater concern than all the railroad
rates In the world, says Fruit Grower
and Farmer.
Uncle Sam has found that II costs
in the neighborhood OF rs cents a mile
to haul q ton over the average coun-
try road. But this cost may run up
to ten times this figure over bad roads,
and be reduced as many times over
good roads with modern vehicles.
This cost is something that is rarely
ever figured In by the producer when
summing up his marketing expense,
even though It will frequently make a
figure that is not much less than the
cost Of getting his produce to the dis
tant market by rail.
Good roads are expensive to build
and are more or less of an expense to
maintain, but II 1t we're possible to
compare the lowered cost OF trans
porting the farm produce over the
road before and after improvement 1t
would be found that the cost was paid
back with interest within a very few
years after improvement. Low grades
are of first consideration, for 1t costs
more money to haul over a billy road
than over a level one. where the sur
face is the same. But on almost any
road, II is easily possible to have at
least a smooth surface on which to
drive.
The King drag is the implement that
will make the surface smooth and
keep It smooth. And the wonder Of
1t is that more farms do not have a
drag as an essential part of their
equipment. Road dragging time is
Just coming with the breaking up OF
the snow, and its usual accompani-
ment Of mud. Heavy traffic over such
roads makes ruts and bad roads Of the
worst sort, unless the ruts are filled
by dragging. Prepare now to keep
your road dragged this year. and
lower the cost of hauling your prod
uce to market.
Remember. also, that wide-tired
wagons pull more easily than narrow
tired ones 80 per cent of the times

LATE CROPS

There has been so much rain
this summer that some low-ground
corn has been drowned out. Don't
lose the opportunity TO grow some
thing on this land. Many farmers
have already sowed peas and some
are planning to do so. As soon as
you can, SOW the places where corn
didn't grow. II pays TO have some
peas mixed in with other hays, any
way.
Millet can also be sowed on the
places where corn failed 10 grow.
The most common use made of mil
let Is as hay crop. II compares
very favorably with timothy hay.
Some experiment stations say that
IL is slightly better than timothy. IL
makes a desirable feed for cattle.
sheep and horses, but il is well not
TO feed II too exclusively. The
exclusive feeding OF over-ripe millet
has been known 10 injuriously af-
feet the kidneys OF horses. The
short stifr hairs OF ripe millet are
also harmful.
Grow peas on some Of the bare
places and millet on some. The
millet and peas mixed will make
good feed. or course there are
other hays and crops better than
either Of these-not much better
than peas. but under the circum-
stances and the lateness Of season
these crops can be grown profitable.

CBy J. M. BELLY

I know of nothing more trouble
some on the farm than the delicate
horse" In the first place the ordinary
farmer is not a veterinarian in any
sense; therefore, when he is unfortu-
nate enough to own a horse that is
subject to spells OF sickness, he really
does not know what to do, and II this
same horse is an animal whose value
ranges anywhere from $50 to 500. the
owner is loath to send on for a regular
veterinarian and pay him for his visit

horse in question is very apt to die.

A Michigan contributor, Wrllihs

swearing sandwiched into the farm

became mixed with sawdust and shaw

race for places on the benches. Police
men and ushers yelled with all the
strength Of their lungs. They rushed in

They held out their arms and tried to
hold the invaders back. But all their ef-
forts were In vain.
