LOCKING AFTER GOOD ROADS
split!os Drag Can BE Employed to
Good Advantaee-Prompt, lntell-
gent Action Needed.

Every farmer should spend some
time looking after the roads. The
splitlog drag can be used to good adj
vantage Road dragging at the proper
time will insure good dirt roads the
greater part of the year All it needs
is prompt, intelligent action. 1t must,
however be done at the right time
to get the best results.
Yes! II is true in many places that
the road dragging should be done by
the county, but every farmer should
take enough interest in the community
welfare to see that the road in front
of his farm is gone over with a split
log drag
There is no other one thing that
would add to our advancement, both
commercial and social as much as
would good roads. Spend few hours
at this season OF the year, when the
frost is coming out of the ground and
the wet from rain and snow is drying
up, with a spltlog drag and it will
result in better roads, good adver-
tisement for your farm and its owner,

HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
1.COO-MILE ROAD PROPOSED
Canada to Build Route Similar to
Lincoln Highway-To Extend
From Winnipeg to Calgary.

Central.western Canada will have a
federal highway much after the plan
of the Lincoln highway proposed
across the United States if the prof.
ect being urged by the board OF con-
trol of Winnipeg is carried out This
project contemplates the construction
OF a concrete highway from Winnipeg
to Calgary, to go through the more
thickly settled territory taIped'by the
Canadian Pacific railway.
The thousand miles OF highway
through the provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and halfway into AL
berta will be financed by the munich
palities by which the roadway would
be traversed. Special appropriations
also will be sought from the provincial
governments The project has been
received with enthusiasm in number
of the larger cities along the proposed
route,
1t has been pointed out by the pro-
motors of the highway through the
prairie provinces that its constructor
would enhance the value Of the farm
lands for several miles on both sides
of the concrete roadway.

Why We Draw Back.

Our human intercourse is constant
ly being thwarted by our conscious
ness of consequences. 1t is especially
the case when we are young. Young
people feel that they can hardly have
an intimate conversation without its
ending in a promise to correspond,
or an invitation to visit.
If we keep this attitude as we grow
older, the consciousness that mo-
ment's intimacy may entail so much
makes us pause before taking the fate
full plunge.
How often do we draw back in a
moment of expansion because we re.
fleet, Shall we feel the same way to-
morrow, or next month";"
How many friendly impulses do we
restrain because we are afraid some
hing more will be expected of us!

pressed The trouble is ncurable. and
the treatment, therefore, can only be
palliative.
The difficulty in breathing increases
when the stomach and bowels are con-
gested with food and water Both are
to be given only in small quantities at
a time. Green food and cut grass
should be fed at intervals.
The food should always be damp
ened with water. Dusty or burned
hay is to be avoided as are also
chopped straw and overripe rye grass.
1t is good plan to mix quarter
of pint of linseed oil with each feed.
AS regards medicinal agents, their
action on broken wind can only DO
temporary.
Every dealer has his specific for
this disease. Some give the animal
pound of lard, or any sort Of food fat
made into balls, while others give
quantity of leaden shot. A simultaneous
injection of morphia many resort to.
These things do no permanent good,
but as the palliative treatment, If care.
fully carr d out is of great benefit to
the poor animal, it may be looked
upon as the only treatment for a

CARING FOR YEARLING COLT
There Should Be Gradual Change In

In the spring, when all the work

ing that they are, in most cases, sadly
neglected. II there are few green
spots showing in the pasture they are
turned in there to make their living,
and all the attention they receive is
an occasional handful OF salt
This change from their ration of
grain and hay to one of grass is pretty
likely to cause considerable setback
to the young horse. There should al
ways be a gradual change from grain
to grass, leaving the grain off entirely
by the time the grass has reached its
best.
The young stock always become un.
easy when the grass begins to look
green and the spring days begin to
warm up mother earth. They should
be turned out only for an hour or two
at first, and as they become more ac'
customed to the grass they can be
kept out longer.
During this time their grain and hay
ration should be cut down some, il
they get enough grass to keep them
interested while they are out. In this
way their digestive organs will gradu'
ally become accustomed to the grass,
and there will be no disorders Of the
intestines when they are turned on
the grass to stay. II the colts are
handled in this manner for a week or
two it will be safe to turn them out.
The colts should have some kind Of
shelter for the first few nights they
are in the pasture. They have been
used to the barn all winter, and it will
be just little trying on them to re
main out in the open On cool, dewy
nights. If there is no shelter III the
pasture they should be driven to the
barn at nights for the first two or
three weeks after being turned out.

CONTROL OF PLANT DISEASES
Much Trouble Can Be Prevented by
Raklng Up and Burning Old Stalks,
Leaves and Fruit.

tBy w. w. ROBBINS, Colorado Station)
In the control and prevention of
plant diseases sanitation of the garden
is important. There are a number of
our fungous diseases which rest over
the winter on or in decayed stalks,
leaves, or fruit. The resting stage of
the fungus is resistant to winter con-
dtiOns. Among suc.l diseases which
rest over in the above manner are:
Club root cabbage, onion mildew,
leaf spot of strawberry, leaf spot Of
beets, early blight of celery, late
bights of celery, and asparagus rust.
If disease is not destructive one
season, it is no sign it will not be
another season. Rake up and burn
the Old stalks, leaves and fruit left

IRON JEWELRY NO NOVELTY
Patriotic Prussian Woman Wore Such
Ornaments With Pride More
Than a Century Ago.

Many months ago, almost from the
beginning of the war, we were told
that German women, following the ex-
ample of their great-grandmothers
voluntarily gave up their gold rings,
necklets, earrings, bracelets and orna-
made or coined into money for the
national need.
Whatever truth there may be in this
story, there is no doubt that many
German women have been presented
by the government with iron rings to
replace the gold ones they have parted
with.
But that happened a century ago.
Then Prussia, crushed by Napoleon,
and bankrupt, was in dire need of
money, and the Prussian women gave
up all their jewels and ornaments to
help cope with the prevailing poverty.
And out of this sacrifice new indus
try arose.
This was nothing less than the man.
ufacture of cast-iron jewelry to replace
the gold and silver ornaments which
the great ladies of the kingdom had
given up. At first sight no material
would seem less promising as sub
stitute for the precious metals than
iron. 1t was entirely owing to the
wonderful craftsmanship of the iron
workers that the results were 30 ex-
traordinary.
Strength, of course, would be dis
tinguishing mark of such jewelry, and
a complete set of these iron orna-
ments, now in the possession of To-
ronto (Canada) jeweler, is as rigid
and firm as on the day it was made.
This particular set, comprising a pair
of earrings, necklet, locket and brace
lets, has not been looked after until
lately.
The ornaments have a wonderfully
fragile appearance, due entirely to
the exquisite workmanship. Their
weight, too, Is astonishingly small, the
lightness of every article being quite
q feature of the set.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE NEED
FOR LIME.
Maryland Agricultural College.
II. J. PATTERSON

Maryland Agricultural College.
There have been numerous methods
proposed for determining the need for
lime and the probable quantity re-
quired, none Of them are very reliable
and all take more or less skill in their
application. The most reliable test Is
evidenced by the crop, but this takes
considerable time. Probably the east
est test is the use of blue litmus paper
for testing the acidity of soils, and il
it turns red rapidly it will generally
indicate the need for lime. The blue
litmus paper test is very simple, It
is made by bringing piece Of blue
litmus paper in contact with the moist
ened soil and observing the intensity
and rapidity Of the redness thus pro
duced.
The general characteristics Of the
land as to its derivation can not be
taken as a sure indication of the lack
or supply of lime. 1t is not infrequent
to find in limestone regions and on
the so-called limestone soils that ap'
plcations of lime produce most
marked results. This is due to the
fact that the lime of limestone soils
has been removed in great part
through prolonged decay and the dis
solving action of the carbonated wa,
tiers. This, not infrequently, leaves
such soils so siliceous or ferrugenous
as to be quite barren and of a nature
to be benefited by application Of lime
Throughout the Trenton Limestone
areas in Maryland, nearly every farm
has, in years past, had it's quarry an0
lime-kiln for fitting and supplying lime
thoroughly leached as to render them
lean and poor.
