Asphalt Industry Rooms.

The asphalt industry as a whole was
prosperous during last year, the United
States geological survey reports. The
natural asphalt, including grahamite,
gilsonite. elaterite, and bituminous
rock, produced and sold at mines and
quarries in the United States in 1915
amounted to 1871 short tons, valued
at $526,490. Though this quantity was
5 per cent less than the output in 1914,
the reports of the sales of manufac-
tured asphalt derived from petroleum
of domestic origin disclose a gain of
81 per cent over the quantity sold in
1914. The total sales of manufactured
asphalt amounted to 664,503 short tons,
valued at S4,T15,5S3. In addition to
this output, refiners in the United
States made and sold 3SS,31S short
tons of asphalt, valued at $3,730, 4S6,
that was derived from petroleum Inn.

Two Hundred Rooms in House.
Cliff palace is 800 feet long and con-
tanned probably 200 rooms. Spruce
Tree house is 216 feet long and was di-
vided into ia rooms. Spruce Tree
house originally had three stories and
its population was probably about $50
persons.
Until the summer of 1915 no struc-
lures had been discovered in the Mesa
Verde except those of the cliff-dwell-
ing type. Then the department of the
interior explored a mound on the top
Of the mesa opposite Cliff palace and
unearthed Sun temple. DR.. ]. Walter
Fewkes, who conducted the explora-
ton, believes that this was built about
1900 A. D., and marks the final stage
in Mesa Verde development.
Indians of today shun the ruins OF
Mesa Verde. They believe them in
habited by spirits whom they call the
Little People. It IL vain to tell them
\ that the Little People were their own
i ancestors; they refuse to believe it.

AMERICAN EXPORTS SET
NEW RECORD EACH MONTH
Volume of Outbound Trade for Year
Double That for Same Period OF
Time in 1870 and 1911.

American exports continue to set
new records each month, according to
Uncle Sans official figures. Exports
for May reached total of 472,00c. 900.
This exceeds all previous monthly rec
ords. 1t is greater by SCI, 100000 than
the high record for March. 1t is $780,
100000 more than the monthly May
average from 1911 to 1914. The total
exports for the year ended with May
were S4,136,0O0000, On increase of ST.
100000 over the preceding II months,
and double the total for the year end
ed with May, 1911. The exports for
May were $S0,000,00G more than the to-
tai for the fiscal year 1870.
The imports for May were also the
greatest on record, the total value be-
ing $229,000,000, an increase of SILL
100000 over April, the previous high
mark. This total exceeds the monthly
May average from 1911 te 1914 by $751;
100000. For the year ending with May
imports totaled $2,110.000t00 dollars,
an increase of $436,000,000 over the
preceding year and $242, 100000 over
the corresponding period two years
ago. The combined value of imports
and exports in the II months just end
ed was S6.246,000,0OO, n growth of near

! The favorable balance of trade in
the month and II months ending with
May was the largest ever known. For
May it was 243,00O.000 and for the

LICE KILLER IS INEXPENSIVE
Rope Saturated With Kerosene and
Fastened Around Post Will Prove
Quite Effective,

A, Washington farmer has found the
following good scheme for killing
lice on hogs. Set a round post ia
the ground and leave it three feet
above the ground. Fasten a tin can
on top. Fasten a large rope in the
can and let it run our over the TOP
down the post and run it round and
round the post at the right height for
the hogs to rub. Fill the can with
kerosene. Soak the rope first with
kerosene. The kerosene will follow
the rope out over the can, ana the
hogs will do the rest.
A good plan is to make a large
shade near the oIler. This should be
large enough 50 that the sun will not
shine On much Of the ground and high
enough 50 that man can walk under.
It can be made cheaply BY setting
posts in the ground and covering them
with brush and old hay ar straw. You
won't need any hog wallown with this
arrangement.

LADDER BUILT AROUND sIL0
Arrangement Will Be Appreciated BY
Farmer Who Wishes TO Get Into
Various Doors at Top.

Silo owners often want to paint
their silos; at least they should DO 20
to get the most years Of service out Of
them. Earl H. Clark Of Iowa has pat
ented this silo ladder for that purpose
1t win also be appreciated by the own
er who wants to feed from one silo to
tw., or more buildings, or lots. lfa
may have doors put in at the proper
point so as to run the feed carrier
ia that direction. Instead Of having a
stationary ladder at each door, one
ladder of this type may be used. Those
who have been in shoe stores where
the rolling ladder is used 70 aid the
statesmen in getting wares quickly will
understand the principle at a glance
