Good Roads Department.
Conducted Especially for the Banner by Hon. p
L. Colgrovc. President of the Michigan
Good Roads Association.

There has been for years an insis-
tent popular demand for federal aid
IN the Improvement of the public
highways on the ground that such i'm
provement would render more effi-
cient the delivery of the mails on the
rural routes, would contribute direct
ly TO the parcel post service, and
would Immensely improve the condi-
tons of country life. Many bills have
been introduced i'm congress from time
TO time looking to the attainment Of
these objects, and at the present ses-
sion of that body bill has been pass
ed by the house by an overwhelming
majority making provisions for the
aid desired. This bill has gone to the
senate for consideration. With modi-
flcatlons it has been favorably report
ed TO that body and will doubtless be
passed at ten present or the next ses-
slon-of congress. Both bills provide
for substantial federal aid to the
states which have efficient highway
departments and which under the dir
ection of such departments will ex-
pend on the post roads an amount
equal to the amount provided by the
federal government.
The proposed legislation conditions
the extention of federal aid to the
states for road construction and main
tenance and imposes severe but en-
tlrely wholesome restrictions upon the
methods by which federal aid can be
made available to the states. If the
states are furnished with well-organ-
red and competent highway depart
ments, and will conform to the re-
qulrements of the law. and cooperate
with the secretary of agriculture i'm
carrying out the work which he shall
prescribe, they will share in the dis
trlbutlon of the funds appropriated by
congress for this work. There is to
be no free distribution of these funds.
Inc states must put up as much as
they take down. The government at
Washington will play no favorites.
The construction (of the roads) is
to be done by the states. subject to
the approval of the United States
secretary of agriculture, and future
federal aid will be withheld from the
states which fail to maintain prop-
erly the roads constructed with such
assistance The states with high
way departments will be first to
share in the appropriations made bv
congress, and with this incentive to
the practical consideration of the sub
ject it is taken for granted that in
short time there will be highway de-
partments in all the states. With
community Of effort and interest in
this great work between the general
government and the states, and COM
petent direction and hard service, the
time will come speedily when the pub
lie roads of the country will be
credit to the country and there will
be at all seasons well-constructed
highways for the business of the peo-
pie.

Transferring Bees

The first of a series of bulletins on
bee management has just been issued
by the Michigan Agricultural College
Experiment Station, as special bulle-
tin No. rs.
The bulletin is entitled Transfer
ring Bees" and is written by Mr.. F.
Z. Millen, State Inspector Of Apiaries.
Michigan has far more than her
share of poorly designed beehives,
some being apparently without design
at all. Many bees are kept in boxes
or sections of hollow logs. OF
course such bees are not profitable in
any sense and are source of dam
ger because colonies of bees in such
hives may acquire diseases and act as
centers of infection from which dis
ease may be spread far and wide
among the bees of other apiaries.
The first step in attempting bee
keeping for profit is to get bees into
sanitary, modern hives fitted with re-
movable frames so that the combs
may be examined at the will of the
owner; the bulletin just issued de-
scribes how the transfer may be
made without losing too many of the
bees. Several methods are described,

We know this is an age Of special
ties, everyone is urged to specialize
in some one thing until the highest
proficiency is reached. The conten-
ton is that il we undertake to do a
number of things we will not do them
as well as if our time, energy and at.
tention was directed on one thing and
that was done perfectly. This is very
true, this applies with considerable
force to our farming operation. Pres
ent day agriculture demands that
crops must be grown better, graded
better and marketed better than has
been the custom in the past. To do
this requires closer application and
more businesslike methods.
Admitting this, there is still anoth-
er side to the proposition, and that
is that the average American farm
err cannot do this, because he is fin
cially unable to take his chance on a
one crop proposition. He is compell-
ed to grow a number Of crops each
season, so that if one should fail
he has another to rely upon, and this
means the practice Of diversified
farming. The prudent farmer will do
this.
Inter-cropping is possible where di-
versified farming is practiced and
inter-cropping is very profitable
practice when properly conducted,
again this method of farming makes
it possible for the farmer to SO ar
range his crops that the harvesting
season of the various crops grown
will cover long period, in this way
the crops can be harvested with less
labor and therefore less expense, and
the labor question on farms will be a
serious one this year. We have never
had so few unemployed in this coun-
try as we have at the present time
and higher wages are paid labor in
the shop and factory than on the
farm. The farm will feel the scare
ity the most. Farmers should consid-
er this question seriously when plan
ming their planting for 1916. The
small farmer in particular should ar
range his farm cropping methods so
that he can be Independent of the
labor market as far as possible, lit
tie forethought and wise planning
will aid greatly in this respect.
The government report shows that
returns from the small farm are not
as great proportionally as from the
large farms. This is an unfortunate
showing as il reminds US forcibly of
the tendency towards land-lordism
and the destruction of individual own
ership. condition that means slav-
cry. We are opposed to syndicate
production, and to the principal that
commercial production of food pro-
ducts as being primarily the factor
in lowering the cost of living.
We want to see more small farms.
We want TO see more Individual own
ership, and we want TO see more in
dependence of the farmer, and the
small farm idea with a number Of
crops grown on each with paintings
so arranged that the farmer can do
his own harvesting if it must be.

Home Made Shower Bath

A very simple, convenient and
cheap arrangement for a homemade
shower bath has been built by this
Virginia club, and is considered. es-
rec.ally useful in homes where there
are children. This device was made
by using a 2 or gallon tin bucket.
A hole was punched in the bottom and
a piece of pipe about = to 2 inches
long soldered in the opening. A piece
of rubber hose to feet long was
attached to this and a sprayer from
the watering can or a nozzle placed
on the end. A rorc was tied TO the
handle of the bucket and run through
a staple which was driven IN the
joist beside the window sash, making
a pulley by which the bucket could
be raised or lowered to suit the con-
venience of the person taking the
shower. A hook was placed below
this staple so that the rope could be
fastened to hold the bucket IN place,
and a clothespin used over the tube
to cut off the water. A large tin tub
was placed underneath to stand in.
Estimated cost of this convenience
was as follows:

Hon. ]. J. Opsahl, accompanied by
George French, both of Bennidji, were
visitors in Roseau last Saturday.
Mr.. Opsahl was evidently out on a
cruising expedition in furtherance Of
the project Of extending railroad
from Red Lake north to connect with
the Canadian Northern. It is under
stood that the line has been definite
ly located from the terminus of the
railroad built through the reserva-
ton around the west end of the lake.
From this point it has not yet been
decided which is the most feasible of
the two routes, one north to Warroad
OF a line a little east Of north
through Roseau to South Junction
on the G. N. It appeared from a
conversation with Mr.. Opsahl with
1.-THE Times editor that the line would
be selected which admitted Of the
least obstruction. The project of
building such a road has been widely
mentioned but the public know little
concerning the possibility of its be-
ling built. Mr.. Opsahl says that it is
no "pipe dream" and for the sake Of
the development OLA very rich agri-
cultural territory in northern Mime
sofa, it is to hesshoped that the pro-
Eject will become reality Roseau
Co. Times.
