ner as public thoroughfares, which
carry much greater traffic, in general
would be a useless waste of money.
The first consideration is the loca-
tion of the roads and paths about the
farm. The roads and paths are a
part of the permanent farm plant.
Consequently they should be so To-
Gated as to best serve the purpose for
which they are intended, should fit in
with the general scheme Of the farm,
and at the same time should avoid as
much as possible places which would
require difficult and expensive con-
struction or maintenance. The main
consideration, however, must be to
secure the highest degree of efficiency
from the farm plant as a whole.
The earth road is the most common
type Of farm road and will probably so
remain. When properly crowned,
drained and maintained with the split
log drag or other similar device, the
earth road, on all but few eXcep-
tional soils or in a few places imme-
diately around the farm lots and build
ings, can be made to answer the re-
quirements fairly well. A little grad
ing will in general give the earth road
a crown sloping from the center to-
ward the side bitches at a rate Of
about one inch to the foot, and side
bitches of sufficient size to carry away
the storm water can usually be con-
structed without difficulty. If the
ground is springy the side bitches may
be made deeper, or the ground water
may be carried away by tile drains.
The fundamental requirement Of an
earth road is always good drainage.
This involves, first, the removal of the
water which reaches the surface Of
the road from precipitation or other
wise; and second, in certain places the
removal of any ground water which
reaches the road from underground
seepage. Surface drainage is accom-
plished by securing reasonably firm
crowned roadway and providing
bitches Of sufficient size and with am
pie grade and frequent outlets. Sub
drainage to remove the water from
beneath the road surface or to pre-
vent its passage into the roadbed is
usually accomplished most effectively
by so-called blind drains or by means
Of properly located tile drains.

KEEPING DRESSES IN ORDER
Mothers Idea Of Arranging Little Gar
ments Is Worth Trouble of Keeping
In the Memory.

Where to keep my baby's dresses
when not in use was a never-ending
problem. They took up so much room
in the clothes press or dresser draw
ers, the one l wanted was always sure
to be at the bottom and they were
always mussed and crumpled from
handling. l purchased for a nickel
at the five and ten-cent store wire
coat hanger which had two spring
clothespins attached and which were
intended to hold the skirt Of suit.
For another five cents l procured an
extra dozen of these spring pins, had
my husband untwist the wire which
held the two on the hanger, slip on
the extra 12, and twist the wire back
into position. can catch from one
to four dresses on each pin, and the
hanger holding about two dozen
dresses hangs on a single hook in the
clothes press. / can see the one
want at a glance, and they are always
fresh and dainty. We have since made
similar affairs for colored dresses,
skirts, ard the like, and should think
this would be a great help to mothers
living in small apartments and flats.
Good Housekeeping.

Attractive House Dress.

mental, but they save much time that
might, without them, be wasted in
seeking for keys, pencil, note pad,
handkerchief or purse. A housewife
may need any or all of these things
at unexpected moments, and many an
hour is rescued during the week when
the little necessities of housekeeping
are collected in a pocket.
A charming way to make up this
frock is the following: Use a gingham
with a general effect of blue or pink
whichever is the more becoming. Get
q small piece Of plaid, of the ground
color o. the dress, and use this for
pockets, belt, cuffs, collar. If the aim
is to be rather dressy, also make
bands of the plaid around the bottom
Of the skirt. A band three inches
wide above the hem is attractive, and
about two inches above this place an
other band about half the width.
Any pretty color combination gives
a smart effect, and this simple dress
can be made exceedingly attractive.
A rufied net or lawn collar will add
greatly to the general effect. If the
frock be Of thin lawn, for summer
wear, little ruffles are charming in
place Of bands, and are little trouble
In ironing.

METAL ASH BARREL is BEST
Always Danger in the Use Of Wooden
Receptacles to Hold the Accumu-
lated Rubbish.

Hot ashes in a wooden barrel are al
most certain to cause a disastrous fire
sooner or later. The use of an empty
flour or sugar barrel to keep ashes un-
til the weekly visit of the ashman
may seem an economy, but in the long
run it is a costly mistake. In many
places the fire regulations prohibit this
sort of thing, but there are still in
stances where city and town authori-
ties permit it.
1t is also unwise to use a wooden
barrel for ordinary rubbish, for a spark
in barrel filled with paper, sweepings
and housecleaning rubbish means dis
aster. A careless maid or thoughtless
child is apt to forget and put hot ashes
in the rubbish barrel. For this reason
metal ash barrels are the cheapest.
Galvanized iron, made in corrugated
form to insure strength, is the popular
material. They will last a long time
and will not go to pieces suddenly as
will wooden barrel.

To make the case, cut out a strip

Make hem on the two sides of the
muslin and the top. and bottom of it;

The portion that is left folds over
the pockets to form the top cover Of

Now about four inches from the
edges Of the flap sew on some white
insertion, lace or needlework, that
will allow of ribbon two inches wide
to thread through. There are many
pretty suitable headings to be bought
All around the outside of the flap
sew some very pretty and dainty lace,
it may be fine crochet, fine knitting
or machine lace. Through the slots
Of the insertion thread some silk or
satin ribbon and tie into a bow at the
top left-hand corner.
The ribbon should be a delicate
shade of color, such as pale mauve,
blue or shell pink.
If liked, of course, It can be white.
but touch of color adds greatly to
the effect.
Remove the ribbon and the case will
wash beautifully, and is starched and

once more the house you think hope

cannot find trees that will do the work
in a reasonable time.
You can greatly increase the value
of your property by planting the right
sort Of trees at either end of your
house, so as to frame picture of your
home. Many a rich man pays hun
dreds of dollars extra for a farm be-
cause the old house is surrounded by
century-old elms. He builds a big
new house under the old trees and at
once it looks old and mellow. Th3

Gaze Of Lawns.

Now that hot weather has come, re-
member that lawn grass is now max.
ing its most vigorous growth, that un.
der the best conditions it roots but a
few inches deep and therefore needs
an abundance of water; more now is
needed than in the hottest weather to
supply the new and succulent growth.
1t will pay to watch lawns closely,
and not water them until it is needed,
but do it most thoroughly, so that as
the water supply lessons the roots will
go deeper to find moisture. In this way
a resourceful lawn may be made, one
that will not dry out in midsummer if
left without watering for a few days.

REPAIR BAD SPOTS IN ROADS
MudhoIes Should Be First Drained and
Soft Dirt RemoVed-Don't Be
Afraid Of Dragging.

Don't try to fill a mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
it with large stones, because if this is
done there will soon be two mudholes
instead Of one. Don't try to fill a
mudhole with sods or similar material
which absorb water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid of dragging too often during
a rainy spell. If thin coat of sand
or gravel be spread over the road sur
face when It has been softened by
rain and then worked in by traffic
and a liberal use of the drag, a poor
earth road can be much improved and
made to carry a surprisingly heavy
traffic for short time.

The private roads on the farm differ
in general from the public roads only
in the amount and kind of traffic which
they carry. The fundamental princi-

maintenance are the same. But, as
the farm road is called on to bear far
less traffic, the ordinary methods CT

other and too close to the house. Con-
sequently, the houses look dark, damp,

best thing is to cut out enough of the
old trees to give some light and ar,

ing cold water, followed by hard rub
bing, tones up the skin and prevents
colds, improves the circulation, and
takes no more time than a languid rub
with wash cloth. Even dressing can
be made useful in this respect when
the housewife leans down to button
her shoes. The knees should be kept
rigid, and the bending should be en-.
tirely at the waist. Instead of sitting
to dress the hair, hang the mirror at
a convenient height, and as you put
in the pins rise and fall slowly on the
toes, keeping the chest we'll up. This
strengthens the back and ankles to a
great extent.
