BETTER ROADS IN MISSOURI
Movement Has Passed Boom Stage
and Become Fixed PoIicy-Good
Advertisement for State.

When the public roads bureau of
the department of agriculture made
its study of roads covering period
which ended in 1913, Missouri did not
figure among the leading states either
in its mileage of improved roads or
in progress made in road building,
while some of the southern states
with smaller resources in a financial
way showed striking evidences of
progress, says Farm Progress. They
had been building cheap.roads of such
materials as were Immediately at
hand, and that is what Missouri is
doing today with such energy and en-
thusiasm that the next survey of the
road situation is sure to tell a differ
ent story. This will be a good thing
for state pride and as state adver-
tisement, but vastly more significant
is the direct benefit derivable from
roads that can be traversed at all sea-
sons with full loads. Every good road
that is built today and tomorrow and
every road that is improved will go
to make Missouri better state in

LESSON OF SUFFICIENT REST
One of Hardest Tasks for Grownups
to Master and Not Surprising
That Child Ignores It.

1t has been observed that while we
are trying to do something for the
child who is overworked, we need to
remember the other danger Of over
play Parents and teachers too often
fail to realize the injury that may
come through the exciting stimula-
ton of games carried to excess.
Most children need to be restrained
now and then in the matter OF ex-
hausting exercise The lesson of suf-
ficient rest is one of the hardest
which grownups have to learn 1t Is
not surprising that children do not
know how to observe it.
Yet many cases of nerves and ir-
ritability could be traced directly to
the fact that a child has been allowed
to run from morning till night with no
relaxation at a time when the de-
mands of youth make rest especially
needful. 1t is better to insist upon
plenty of sleep and quiet than to pun
ish youngster for the natural result
of tagged body.-Haverhill Gazette.

SEAsoNABLE SUGGESTIONS
BY EBEN E. RExFoRD

Keep watch Of your asters. for I'm
such an hour as you know not the
maggot may attack them. 1t is bet
ter, however, to act on the belief that
this enemy is sure to come, and take
measures to head him off.
Work wood ashes into the soil about
the plants. and remove a little soil
Immediately about the base of each
plant and scatter tobacco dust there
literally. This will not injure the
plant, but it may discourage the pest
in its effort TO get at the stalk of it..
or late, many collections OF asters
have been ruined by this grub.
The plant VIII look perfectly healthy
today; tomorrow it will have a with
cred appearance and the next day it
will be yellow, and If you take hold of
its top and give slight pull, off it
will come close to the ground.
Examination will show that it has
been eaten iuto at that point. Wood
ashes are the best preventive of it's at

GOOD
ROADS
TO MAKE SMOOTH ROAD BEDS
Put Soil on In Layers, Not in Piles
Best Tool for Road improve
ment is Spiitiog Drag.

The making of a smooth roadbed
requires that when the soil is put on.
it be laid in layer and not in piles.
When dumped in piles some places
will be more packed than others and
there will likely be difference in the
density, while If laid on in layers this
will be avoided. Each layer should be
narrowed, or better yet, disked and
packed before the next one is laid
down.
In this way good roadbed is Sc
cured from the first, while il the soil
is Just dumped on the road to be
leveled and packed by the traffic over
the road good roadbed will never be
secured.
The best tool for keeping the road
well crowned and the surface smooth
is the splitlog drag. This tool should
be used soon after rain. The soil
is then loose and easily moved. The
drag moves but small amounts of soil
and smears it. on the roadbed in thin
layers. which is Just what is wanted.
1t cuts on any projections and fills
any low places.

He WAS SLOW BUT THOROUGH
Quality of His Work Spoke Well for
Boy Engaged to Pull Weeds Out
of lady's Garden.

A lady engaged a boy to weed in
her garden. He started to do the
work as she directed, and she went
about her household duties. After
half hour had elapsed she looked out
the window and saw the boy at about
the same spot she had left him.
Pretty slow said the lady, and
again went about her work.
Another half hour elapsed, and
again she looked out the window.
She noticed that he had done very
little more, and said to herself, 81
wish had secured man for this Job;
1t will not be finished today at this
rate"
At the end of another half hour
she concluded to speak to the boy
and hurry him up, so out to the yard
she went.
She stopped suddenly. 1t Vas true
that not very much of the garden had
been covered. The bog was slow. that
was sure, but such a job of wedding
as he had done. Not single stray
piece of grass was left. 1t was as
clean as could be. She stood and
looked in amazement There was just
one word for it--thor-ugh. Instead
of telling him to do the work faster,
she said: That's fine. That's the
kind Of wedding I like to have done
every time. EXCHANGE.

NEW HYBRID CARNATIONS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Thanks to the skill of the hybridist,
we now have races of lovely, fragrant,
eyer-blooming carnations, dwarf and
bushy in growth, that show buds and
flowers in four or five months after
the seeds are sown.
The flowers, too, are not only borne
in abundance, but are of all the lead
ing shades of color, from white
through shades of pink to dark Grim
son, and from cream to bright yellow,
as well as striped and blotched.
These new carnations are as easily
grown as Japan pinks. The seeds may
be sown in box in the window dur
ing March or April, and the plants set
out where they are to bloom when the
weather becomes warm and settled.
Give them a sunny bed, and if you
wish fine show of flowers from each
plant, pinch off the first stem that
pushes up to bloom This will cause
the plant to stool out, and develop sew
eral stalks, each of which will bear
cluster of buds and flowers.
A rich, rather tenacious soil suits
the plants, and they should stand eight
inches apart in the row or bed.
For winter blooming SOW the seeds
in May or June and grow in pots, shift

would change the location of the bed
yearly.
Another astr trouble to guard
against the black beetle. This pest
comes suddenly, does it's ruinous work
rapidly, and often Injuries your plants
beyond the prospect OF recovery be-
fore you are aware of its arrival. Here
Is where the necessity OF keeping
watch of them comes in.
When the first beetle is discovered,
prepare an emulsion after the follow
ing formula: One-half pound of any
good, white soap, reduced to liquid
by melting
One teacupful of kerosene.
Let the soap, to which little water
may be added while it Is melting, come
to boil, then add the kerosene; re-
move from the stove and stir vigorous
ly while the mixture is cooling. A sort
Of jelly will result Use a part of this
to ten parts Of water. Stir we'll to
make sure that the emulsion unites
with the water and apply as spray.
Use 1t literally all over the plant, and
repeat the application frequently.
Prompt and persistent efforts are
needed to rout this voracious enemy.
