county seat, or from towns to the
suburbs, where land will have
speculative value for residence pro-
perty. No one objects to this kind
of road improvement; but to talk
about any Of these roads for the en-
tire country is to talk nonsense.
The country must not expect to
have asphalt roads. 1t is foolish
to make macadamized roads since
the advent of the automobile. 1t
can, however, during nine months
of the year or ten, have road that
is an noiseless as asphalt, and as
elastic and more noiseless than
brick or concrete, and at cost far
less than it will take to keep up the
other kinds of roads after we have
spent anywhere from ten to fifteen
thousand dollars a mile for them,
which somebody must pay. Even.
tually the farmers must pay the
bulk of it, either dire; thy or in tie
form, of state tax, which is COL
lected of the farmers.
Therefore, if you have not a drag
make one. If the road past yorr
farm is not drained. see that it is
drained. If it is not graded, see
that it is graded. Then after every
rain get out your drag and smooth
at least your side of theroad. Your
neighbor will soon learn to smooth
his. and by and by we shall reach
a point when the man who does

the supervisor, have we'll dragged

What Corn to Plant for Silage.

w Aob win " Z AuhS Ava ShoSOs
In recent letter to the College
of Agriculture a Missouri farmer
had this to say:
Last summer l built two con-
crete silos. | will fill them for the
first time this fall. Are there any
other crops besides com that can
be used successfully as silage? If
l use corn what kind should l plant
and how should it be planted?"
In answering this question w. M.
Regain of the Dairy Department
says: Many crops are used as 81.
lage with varying success in differ
ent localities For Missouri con-
ditions, however, corn is the only
crop that can be generally recon-
mended. Corn grows we'll in all
parts of the state and yields more
food material per acre than any
other crop. 1t is more easily har-
vested and put into the silo than
any of the hay crops. With the
harvesting machinery that wehave
at the present time the hay crops
are much more difficult to handle
after being cut. Furthermore com
makes an excellent quality of ST.
llage. The legumes such as clover,
alfalfa and cowpeas are liable to
rot unless great care is taken to
pack the silage firmly and force
the air out. Cowpeas are often
planted with the corn. A mixture
of the two makes excellent silage
but the difficulty of harvesting
makes the system impractical.
The best corn for the silo in any
locality is the same corn that pro
duces the largest yield of ears in
that locality. The corn that pro-
duces the immense yields of fodder
are the late maturing southern va.
rieties. These in Missouri must nee.
essarily be harvested at an imma-
ture state. On most Missouri farms
such corn as Reds Yellow Dent or
Boone County White. make excel
lent silage corn. This corn should
be planted in exactly the same
manner as it would be planted to
to get the largest yield of grain"

Advertising

Bill" said Ace, did you see
that little article in the News
from that tea wagon fellow,
thanking us for giving him free
advertising!"
"Yep,I saw it, r,said Bill. HE
thinks he has the only tea wagon
in the world, guess. We did
mt mention any particular tea
company and there is quite a
bunch of them scattered over
the United States. 1t must have
pinched him little, though, or
he wouldn't have hollered."
NO" said Ace. I'VE were not
quoting his prices but if he wants
some more advertising and will
give us his prices we will quote
them with ours. / feel that it
would be no more than right to
help him all we can, as he is
such a benefit. Of course he
don't live here and don't spend
any money here except, perhaps,
a small occupation license. don't
pay any taxes, don't own any
property and don't subscribe to
any public enterprise but every
time he comes here he takes a
little money away and that is a
benefit to the town.
We will give him all the ad-
vertising we can and will sell
just as good goods for less mon
ey than any tea wagon or mail
order house. We are not in the
hardware business so can't give
stew pans and kettles with our
tea and extracts, but we can
give our customers their moneys
worth of what they buy. whether
it be Tea, Groceries, Meat, Fruits,
Vegetables or even Tobacco and
we are always at the same place.
That's right" said Bill, Il
will 60 tell the News man about
it."

Waterproofing Dirt Roads.

waterproof. everyone e"PosSo w
the weather needs a WATERPROOF
garment. There are waterproofs
and Waterproof waterproofs that
take water slowly, waterproofs that
shed or exclude it altogether.
Dirt roads need interpreting;
and it is no valid objection to them
to Say that they can not be made
perfectly waterproof. They can be
made reasonably waterproof and
increasingly waterproof from year
to year, if the farmers living along
the road will, under the direction
of road supervisor. go over the
road with drags after every rain and
convert the mud into paste-brick
it, so to speak.
Of course it is not worth while
to do this until you have road to
waterproof. BY this we mean
road laid out, drained, culverts
and bridges of the proper material
permanently put in. and graded up
so that it is road. But after
this has been done, the road can
be made about as waterproof as
any garment you buy except rub
Der, by simply going oyer it with
the road drag after every rain, just
as it is drying off, and FASTING the
mud over the surface of the road,
This will give a chance for the wa
ter to run off, the winds to- blow
over it and dry it, the sun to shine
on it and evaporate the moisture.
1t will thus be converted from a
condition like that of well Guilt
waited corn field, which it is when
first graded up, to road that will
stand up under broad tires.
This is an old song we are sing
ing. If we had to pay $50 to SIoo
for a drag, nicely painted and
trimmed, and sold at a profit to
the wholesaler, and the retailer, we
would probably use it to work the
roads, in order to get our money
out of it. But since we can make
one for ourselves. and it is just as
good as one that has been patented
: and painted and given profits to
three, four or half a dozen concerns
we do not value it so highly.
The more frequently this drag
cling is done, the more perfect will be
the interpreting, the more diff.
cult it will be for the water to soak
in and make mud. 1t is fortunate
that the time when we should drag
the road is time when. we ought
not to be'in the corn field. Fol
the physical condition of good
road is just the opposite of that OF
a good corn field or grain held.
According to your faith be il
unto YOU" has more than a reli-
gious or q moral significance. 1t
has a material as well. The man
who starts out in anything believ'
ing in it and keeping everlastingly
at it. is going to get there, even
though it takes long time. The
man who starts out using the drag,
even if he gets no pay for 1t, but
does it for. the credit of his farm,
and will keep it up intelli GENTLY
from year to year, will have q
reasonably waterproof road.
We speak of this so earnestly be-
cause nine.tenths of our roads for
the next half century will have to
be roads of that kind. There will
be maeadamized roads where there

roads. Possibly there will. be con

EXPLOSIVES MAY NOT BE CARRIED
 ON BOARD LINER
United States Law Forbids That Glass of Shipment
 in Passenger Act.

Washington, May 2o-The claim advanced that the Lusitania was car ryfng explosives, in contravention pr the United States law, that her rapid sinking was due to an explosion or this portion of her cargo, and that consequently responsibility for the loss of life on board rests upon the Cunard line, has aroused interest here.
 The Passenger Act of 1892, as amended in 1908 and 1905 to include foreign ships, provides:
 ''It shall not be lawful to take, car ry or have on board of any such steamship or other. vessel any nitro glycerine, dyna mite or any other ex- powder, except for the ships use, nor any article or number of articles whether as cargo or ballast, which, by reason of the nature or quantity or mode of storage thereof, shall either singly or collectively be likely to en- danger the health or lives of the pas sengers or the safety of the vessel 7
 Other sections of the Revised Statutes forbid the carriage of the various nitroglycerine explosive com pounds.
 The responsibility for the enforce naent of this act rests upon the col Iector of port. Collector Malone ha: already announced that the Lusita mia, on the. occasion of her last de parture from New York was inspect ed and given clearance according tC law. On March 4, 1911, the solicitor i of the Department of Commerce, il response to an inquiry from tn, I Steamboat Inspection Service, gave i | as his opinion that the laws permit l the carriage of small arms and an.
