DUST is A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Gases Windows Have to Be
Kept Closed Tight-use Split
Log Drag After Rains.

CBy ". c. PALMER, agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College,
When dry weather comes the dust
from the road becomes u great null
sance to the housewife who lives near
the road. In many cases windows
have to be kept closed tight to lessen
the amount OF dust that SeepS in. The
most effective way of reducing the
dust nuisance is the use of a split-log
drag on the road after every rain
The road dust comes largely from the
grinding up of the turned-up edges OF
iruts made by wheels and horses hoofs-
These cannot form unless water can
stand on the rondbed and water can
not stand on the roadbed if it is kept
well crowned and well packed as it
will be if the road drag is used regu-
Ila1ly. Dragging the roads will mean
q good deal to the housewife, as well
as to travellers and those who have to
haul to and from the market

Fort Guards Americas Cradle.

In no territory of like extent in the
United States is more historical IN
terest gathered than in that which
borders Hampton Roads. Here was
planted the first English colony in
America; here was held the first
gathering of the peoples representa-
tives to make their W laws; here
were erected the first Notifications
in the English-speaking New World;
here were fought the land battle that
terminated Americas war Of i%ndepend-
ence and the naval battle that revolu-
tionized the warfare of the sea. The
first Notifications where Fort Monroe
now stands were built 3O5 years ago,
in 1911. Since that time, with short
lapses, there has been some sort Of a
fertilization always guarding the en-
trance to Chesapeake bay

Personality.

What a widespread and ~far-reaching
effect personality has in the affairs OF
men. We hear it given as wide a
range of definition rs there are kinds
of people. An agreeable personality
and vice versa; u personality that is
stupid or intelligent; gracious or churl-
lsh; overbearing or yielding; self-willed
and oblivious of the rights of others
or tolerant and reasonable; selfish or
unselfsh; conceited Y modest;
thoughtful or ~unthinking; these and
many others are samples of a vast va
riety of habits of mind and manner
from which every person may choose
as they desire. But every person
should remember that their personal
bearing toward their fellows has a
vast deal to do with their success in
life. We rise or fall very often ac-
cording to the estimate given to our
personality by those about us. what
is called tact" which is but an abbre-
Walton of the word contact, IS the out
come of our personality. We mold
and shape our personality very much
by the amount of contact we have with
our fellow beings.~efferson County

Profit in Paint.

If paint didn't do anything, but
make the family feel more cheerful
and give them more pride and self
respect, it would eeally be worth all
it costs, but in this day of high-priced
lumber and building material, paint
really pays w profts-pays one
profit in beauty and q second profit
in lumber and dollars saved. Back in
the day when the South was full OF
magnificent timber and we didn't
think of trees at all except as some
thing nightly in the way when we
wanted to clear q new ground" back
in those days q man might have lived
in an imprinted house and consoled
himself that he wasn't losing mucn
except cheer and beauty. But that
day has passed. It's true that paint
ing now pays its way besides adding
beauty. In other words, you a get
the fun and satisfaction and good
cheer that come from living in n house
that's painted-you get all this free
gratis" as q sort Of surplus by-product
OF the good common sense business
deal that you make when you have
your house protected by paint.-Pro-

Only Two Left.

Lord Chief Justice Holt when young,
was very extravagant, and belonged to
q club of wild fellows, most of whom
took to an infamous course of life.
When his lordship vas engaged on a
certain occasion at the Old Bailey, q
man was tried and convicted Of a rob
berry on the highway, whom the judge
remembered to have been one of his
old companions. Moved by that Curl
osity which is natural on a RETROSPECT
ton Of past life, and thinking the fell
low did not know him, Justice Holt
asked what had become Of such and
such of his old associates. The Gull
prit, making q low bow, and fetching
a deep sigh, said, "Ah, my lord, they
are all hanged but your lordship and

Force Of Rain in the Desert.

The following description of rain on
the desert is given by q writer in Farm
and Fireside: "In desert lands when
it does rain," he says, ut may come
with much more force than anywhere
else. In less than no time the whole
mountain side was q sheet of water run
ming swiftly down. Soon a great tor
rent began to pour under the rock
where we were taking shelter, under.
mining it and threatening to throw 1t
down. We emerged from there and
made g hurried run to another hiding
place, more secure. Then came hail,
and hailstones fell in such fury and Of
such incredible size that / thought they
would kill old Barney, who stood e&-
posed to their fearful peltings- In a
little while the storm had passed away
and the water 0 ceased to come
down the steep mountalnside, and we
went on our way, leading u horse"

PLANT TREES ON H w
They Make Travel a Delight n In
crease the Value Of the Ad-
Joining Property.

Perhaps the idea Of trees of one va
riety is a good one But why not a
variety of varieties? Also, why shade
trees alone, if these be understood to
eliminate all consideration Of peach,
apple, pear and the remainder Of the
81 or more of precious memory? No
man who has been q boy in rural life
can see other than wisdom in the sug-
gestion. AS for wtllful rapine, what
boy ever stole from the tree that hung
its fruit ~invitingly over the ancient
worm fence?
Here is an opportunity for the pres
ent generation Of farmers everywhere
to do a bit of missionary work that
will cause the coming race to rise up
and call them blessed. They them
selves will live to enjoy the sweet
shadows of the trees. Every motor
list will find fresh delight in the drives
along the bosky roads. The value OF
the farm lands adjoining will be en-
HANGED fur beyond the cost Of the eX-
periment. If the shadow of 4 rock
in q weary land moved the ancient des-
ert prophet to a metaphor adequate to
explaining the sOlaceS of his LIES
lean journey, how much more high
ways, glistening white between an IN
closing vignette of green would serve
to illustrate the delights of q fur
better country!

TO EXTEND USE OF PARKS
Minneapolis Has Been Considering
Suggestions for Improving Recrea-
ton System.

Minneapolis has been studying sug-
gestions for extending the use Of
parks. The subject was embodied in
a report by F. S. Staley Of the bureau
of municipal research of the Civic and
Commerce association.
"The conspicuous flaw" says the re-
port, sin the present recreation sys-
TEN is the inadequate provision for
active play of men and women more
than 20 years old. Children will come
to the Fairgrounds almost without in
Vitation. 1t is more difficult to reach
adults, yet they need the outdoor life
quite as much as the children. The
park is q more logical center than
the school and park buildings can be
readily adapted to such purposes
1.-THE park board should increase its
efforts to make the parks real competi-
tors for the saloon, the commercial
dance hall and the movies. This will
involve obtaining park areas adjacent
to the thickly populated districts, a
policy to which the board is al
ready committed, -r3i<s-,a
The survey also urges q park to
care for the floating population.
Thousands Of men temporarily out
of work." it reads, spend their time
in the saloons and cheap lodging
houses, where they are permit
ted to sit down. This privilege is
denied them in Gateway park. Both
from the health and police standpoint
they are better off outdoors than in
cheap houses open to them"
Everyone who has visited Mime
apolis will remember beautiful Lake
Harriet and its park. 1t is surprising
then to see that this report advocates
publicity to advertise parks to the peo-
pie Of the city.-Kansas City Star.

FIRST ATTENTION TO CHICKS
Keep Them Quiet and Warm Until
Thirty-Six Hours Old-Then Give
Sand and Water.

Many young chicks are breaking
their way into the world and will need
our attention if they are to grow and
bring a profit. Do not be in a hurry
to feed them, but keep them quiet and
warm until thirty-siX to ~forty-eight
hours old. Then give some fine sand
or grit, and water.
After this, feed some h~ard-boiled
eggs, dry bread or cracker crumbs, oat-
meal or prepared chick food. Feed a
little at a time, and often until a
month old, when four times a day will
be sufficient. After three months,
feed three times a day until grown.
Finely ground feed should be given
until they r about a month old,
when a gradual change can be made
to fine cracked grains, which may be
fed until they are about two months
Of age. Then another gradual change
can be made to cracked corn and
whole small grains.

GOOD ROADS WORK WONDERS
Improved Highways Give Farmer
Chance to Reach Markets-6ad
Roads Decrease Efficiency.

The railways and %interurbans have
and are having much to do with the
development of this state. The evil
dence of their splendid work is seen
on every hand. They have contributed
to the building of towns, the develop
ment of rural communities and have
made it possible for great industrial
ventures to succeed. But they, while
working wonders for the common
wealth, cannot reach every household
as the highways do. The highway
reaches the isolated man, which the
railway but incidentally touches, and
it means to this a or the community
in which he lives whether the highway
is of such a nature as to enable him
to carry on his relations at the least
expense and comfort. If the roads are
bad he is hampered and loses much,
not only from the value Of his prod
ucts which must be hauled to market,
but he pays tribute in the wear and
tear of his harness, vehicles and in
Jury to animals. His inability to reach
churches and schools easily reduces
his ability to make the most useful

Do Poultry Feel the cosmic Urae2

All animals, hens included, have pc
culiaritieS, and to obtain the best re-
suits in working with them we must
take this fact into consideration Not
only is it true that each class of ami
mails has its peculiarities, but indi-
viduals in the I'll class have their
distinctive traits. To illustrate this,
take for example two horses. One is
q heavy work horse, and when you
speak to him it is quite a while before
he obeys. Yet he may be as willing
and obedient as the other horse which
is of driving stock and quick in its
thoughts and actions. In fact, it is
wrong to both to drive such horses to-
gether.-Farm and Fireside.

Value of a Clean City.

If the city is unkempt and ugly he is

Those Chinese Junks.

excellent sea boat, with powers of

perior, to vessels of western build.

to have made q run equal to the time
of the best packet ships of the period"
