MORE LINCOLN HIGHWAY PAVING.

Getting out of the mud in Indiana
has been reduced TO a science and
every week denotes progress in that
state. The county commissioners have
ordered construction to begin on the
section of the Lincoln highway running
from the city limits of Goshen to the
Benton township line. distance Of
five miles. This will be the second
brick section of the Lincoln hishway to
be built in EihiIarl county ard IL cost
S72,243 or about $4,000 a mile. The
brick section will be sixteen feet wide
with dirt berins eight feet wide on each
side making a thirty-two foot road.
Cement curb will be used instead of
the usual retaining stone. The COM
m!ssioners in ordering the brick road
built acted upon a resolution passed
by the Goshen branch of the Lincoln
Highway Association. The tendency
toward the building Of permanent
roads in Indiana is noticeable since
the founding of the Lincoln highway.

THE AUTOMOBILE TREND.

Automobile are to be cheaper, so the
trade papers say. The Packard COM
pany will reduce prices from 80 to
80 per cent But like reductions can
hardly be applied to cheaper makes.
Every one has known all the time that
the $1,000 cars did not represent that
much material or labor. Nor was the

W hat is called selling costs. 1t Is not
every day that a dealer even In large
city can sell a $1,000 car.
Another marked thing is that the
higher priced cars are not IN as much
demand as formerly. The people are
taking more kindly to the moderate
priced cars. This is said to be true
even among those who can afford to
pay high prices and who like exclu-
siveness. An automobile Is nowadays
not a luxury, but it is largely merely
a means of going about and the car
that will accomplish that purpose tne
most easily and the most cneaply is
he car THAI Is nowadays wanted. In
shor. we are learning to apply com
mon sense to this method OF trans
ror.ation. The time is coming Wnen

upon, will sell for less than the price
of a horse and buggy. Then we WA!

A SHOWER OF SILVER.

AS the Lincoln Highway improves
and the number of tourists increase
new opening for profitable occupation
presents itself-that of feeding and
housing tourist families. This oppor-
tunity is not confined to the big hotels
is if anything more open to the clllage
inn and the well equipped farm house.
With the auto and the new cross
country tourist the old time inn and
tavern will revive.
In a general way it is question of
neatness, service and price. There will
moderate priced stopping place whose
main demand will be cleanliness and
plain living at plain prices: there viii
be other thousands who seek quaint
ness. simple and elegant service and
cuisine of peculiar excellence and who
are willing to pay for novelty: and
there will be other thousands who will
seek the big hotels and the bright lights
of the big towns on the way. But the
average tourist party of five will seek
quiet and comfort at reasonable cost.
The average party of FIVE will have to
seek such entertainment.
To illustrate: Two women half a
days drive from Buffalo had hired a
large roomy farmhouse and were busy
as bees feeding and lodging tourists
two years ago. They served country
! sausages and fried chicken and vege-
tables from their own garden and found
the travelling public seeking their doors.
| Another instance is of a woman run
ming one of the best known and APP
proved hotels by travelling men in Mis-
souri, The building is old and ram
shackled, located in a village at juno
ton point. But she has fried chicken
for every meal in the season and her
transients like it and crowd the table.
II er home cooking draws the travellers
past the big town and fills her tables
three times day. 1t is the old illustra-
ton over again: If you make a better
rat trap the world will wear path to
| your door That's all.
| When tourist travel swells big as it
shall, the procession across the CONT
nent will sprinkle a continuous silver
shower from New York to Frisco. And
those who put themselves in the way
of it will get wet. The opportunity is
especially good for the villages and
ha1nlets, the little inns and garages OF
| the smaller towns.

FORTY FOOT ROADS.
Huntington Hawkeye.l

The farmers of Elkhardt township
in Logan county H., have had the
width of the roads in the township re-
duced from siXty-five to forty feet,
and expect to get big crops from the
land SO gained. while it will be less
troublesome, less expensive to keep a
forty foot road clear of weeds and in
good condition. There were twenty
five miles of road in the township
that were narrowed in this manner and
Elkhardt is the first township in the
county to take this sensible step. Very
few city streets are more than forty
feet wide from curb to curb. and II
forty feet will suffice for the traffic
in the busiest of city streets, surely II
ought to be ample for country road.
There are untold acres in Illinois and
neighboring states that are simply go
ing to waste. and are growing vast
crops of harmful weeds, where they
ought to be yielding profitable returns
TO skilled farmers. And all because
many farmers have the idea that the
rural road ought to be of very gener-
Gus width.

An experiment conducted by the
Kansas station agrees with expert
ments of other stations that skim milk
is the most economical feed for calves.
While perhaps not quite so good. 1t Is
SO much cheaper that very little whole
milk should be used. The station con-
cludes that simply because skim milk
Is fed is no reason why there should he

Those raised on the skim-milk were as
healthy and they gained nearly as
much as those which had whole milk,
or those which ran with their mothers.
Thirty calves were fed in the ex-
pertinent, ten Of them getting skim
milk. ten whole milk, and ten allowed
to run with their mothers. The feeding
period covered five months, and during
this time the calves which had skim
milk gained 223 pounds at cost of
60 % ner hundred pounds, while those
which had whole milk gained 2S7
pounds at a cost OF $3.50 Tor each

their mothers gained 24S pounds, at
cost Of }4.41 for each hundred pounds

did not grow quite 80 fast as either of

method is better than busting with In

poisonous grease is good for one

Mites live in crevices Of the roost,
dropboards and nest in the daytime
and attack fowls at night. They can
be seen in the morning and look like
red bugs, a S they are filled with the
| blood of fowls attacked at night. Mites
are eradicated by painting or spraying
roosts and nests with the following
mixture: Kerosene, one gallon; crude
carbolic acid, one-half pint; lard, two
tablespoonfuls. Melt the lard and mix
with the kerosene; add the acid and
shake the mixture well. Apply this
mite killer to quarters where mites
live, making an application every two
weeks. few applications will clean
any henhouse. However. some old
poultry houses have so many cracks
and crevices that the solution cannot
reach the mites. In such case, cover
the inside of the house with building
paper or several thicknesses Of news
paper, using paste for this. Then paint
with the kerosene mixture.
Where fleas infest a poultry house
it is necessary to spray per cent
solution of zenoleum, creolin, cresol Oh
other coal tar disinfectant. Thoroughly
soak the dust and dirt where the Neas

young. Then. catch any fowls that
