r LOAN ACT is
GOOD OF FARMERS

/ formed in the county where land Is
located. No loan will be made OF more
than $4,000 nor less than 500. IN
terest will not be charged greater than
six per cent. The loan itself will be
. reduced through an amortization plan
providing for reduction by annual or
semi-annual payments on the prin-
cipal. No mortgage shall run for more
than forty years nor less than i've,
and there are the necessary provis-
ions in the law for satisfaction OF
overdue interest or amortization pay
ments.
The money to be loaned will come
through the federal land banks,
passed to the hands of the national
farm loan associations and to the
farmer. The capital stock Of the land
banks will not give them much loan
ing power so Congress increased that
power greatly by authorizing the
banks to issue farm loan bonds and
sell them in the open market. The act
provides that when a federal land
bank has loaned $4,000 to farmers
it may issue a corresponding amount
OF farm loan bonds, and that the total
that may be issued by any Il bank

1t is better to feed some birds on steel
than on grain. This sort of a diet is
best for the drones or producers.
Give them plenty of the food. Steel
food is manufactured in the shape of a
sharpened axe and is generally fed to
this sort of fowl about the region of the
neck. Either apply it yourself or send
them off to the market, and thus reduce
the feed bills. 1t never pays to keep a
lot of nOn-producers about the plant.
They only consume food that would net
you a return if given producing hen.

KEEPING BIRDS ON

will plant fruit trees in the yard-ther
within a few years you will get return
in the form of its product, in addition to
! giving the chickens shade for their COM
fort. Peach trees grow very rapidly,
furnish excellent shade, and will Weld
fruit when three years old. Other trees
are probably just as good for the pur-
pose but few of them will grow SO rap
idly as does the peach.
Keep before the chickens at all times
q plentiful supply of pure, fresh water.
Chickens are heavy drinkers, not of
spiritual liquors, but of water. The
largest portion Of the egg is made up of
water, and for this reason it is neces-
sary to keep a goodly supply of the
fresh variety before them at all times.
If you have trees in your yards the
water vessels can be placed on the
trunks where the birds can reach them.
This aids materially in keeping it fresh
as 1t will be free from the suns rays
and will therefore not have to be changed
so frequently. Keep the water fresh,
however, as it is as much against the
liking of the fowl kingdom to drink |
warm, stale water as it is for the hu- |
man.
One other important detail to be
looked after in regards to the care of
the chickens is that of supplying a good
lust bath for them. The task Of keep
ng down lice is indeed hard one and
your burdens in this respect can be
made much lighter if you will supply
his much needed requisite of the poui
ry yard. Let the chickens help rid
themselves of vermine. They can and
will do it if you will but furnish the [
'ath. Without it they are completely {

yer, they will keep themselves reason .
bly, free from lice after you have been
lccessful in the first skirmish and your
lief attention thereafter may be given
the coops, with only an occasional
lsting of the hens.
These are few suggestions, which if "
'llowed, will be productive of much n
bod and will mean much toward your B
lccess as a breeder. v

little green food will invariably result in
the birds laying soft-shelled eggs. Moth

and your method of feeding. Correct

There is another important matter to

Forming Habits.

We believe in the greatest freedom
for the youth; we believe in a happy
environment that will create noble
characters; we believe the spirit of
the boy should be held sacred and di-
rected toward the achievement of
higher things in life than social COS
sip and amusement, and we believe
that the encouragement of pool play
ing as an adjunct of the public schools,
it makes no difference how many
boards of education, committees, pub
lie meetings, may favor it, is a mis-
take. The idea that we must resort
to games to hold the boys to their
school work carries with it the i'm
preston that u school methods are
wrong, and there can be no other JUS
LITIGATION of pool playing in school
rooms than that impression. Educa-
ton should be given worldwide room.

WORLD OWES DEBT TO THESE
Macadam, Pioneer of Good Roads, and
His Contemporary, TeIford,
Worthy of All Gratitude.

The first great improvement in high
way construction within modern times
was effected by John Loudon Macadam.
or McAdam, who was born in Ayr,
Scotland, in 1856. This great Scotch
engineer was the inventor of the road
making system known is "macadamiz-
ing" which is still in general use, al
though vastly improved. Macadam
died in 1886, at the age of eighty.
When he was born the turnpike roads
of England and Scotland were in an
incredibly bad state. Macadam and
his contemporary, Telford, were the
first to check the prevailing chaos and
to bring scientific methods and regu-
lar system to bear upon the building,
repair and maintenance of highways.
Macadam was engaged chiefly in the
repair Of existing roads rather than
the construction of new ones, and the
improvements which he ~inaugurated
were of great and lasting benefit, not
only to his native land, but to the
world att large. Telford insisted upon
a foundation of broken stone in road
building, while Macadam insisted that
this was unnecessary and that the sub
soil would carry any weight if ade-
quately drained and kept dry by an
impervious covering.

That Made Them Pay.

A small tradesman once put up the
following sign in his shop: Please
don't ask for credit, as a refusal often
ofends." Finding that this had little
effect and that his credit book was at
tanning great proportions, he resolved
on trying another plan, and immediate
ly fixed up another notice in place of
the former one: ""The M and adj
dresses OF all those who buy goods at
this shop, and don't pay for them, can
be seen in the credit book on payment
of a fee of ten cents" The result was
miraculous. Not only did the curious
pay their ten cents by the dozen, but
those owing accounts speedily settled
them until the credit book was a thing
Of the past.

Valuable Bird of Trinidad.

The natives of Trinidad make use of
the young guacharo in an unusual man.
ner. The young are very fat, and are
frequently found to weigh more than
the fuil-grown birds. Their fat is used
by tie natives to produce an oil
which is a substitute for butter. Also
1T is frequently the custom of the ma
t1Ves to draw a wick through the body
or a young guacharo and use it as a
lamp or candle. Thus the guacharo is
sometimes called the oil bird.

REVEAL TREND OF CURRENTS
Travel of Bottles Dropped Into the
Ocean Convey Information to the
Navy Departments.

The photographic bureau OF the
navy department is always interested
in endeavors to ascertain, by means
of bottle messages, information as to
the movements of the oceans. These
bottles contain papers that have been
dropped overheard from vessels in
many places, to drift at the mercy of
the winds and waves Many of them
have been found and picked up either
in the open sea or on shores where
they have been stranded.
Knowing from their records where
the bottles had been thrown over
board, the bureau has been able to
trace, in a general way, the path they
must have followed in order to reach
the places where they were found.
In one report alone there were pub
lished the adventures Of over one hun
dred bottles. l..
Being partially filled with air and
then securely corked, the bottles float
on the surface of the water and go
wherever the wind and the current of
the sea carry them. Each bottle con-
tains a record of the place and the
date of it's starting. Some Of those
found have f1oated for many months,
and sometimes years, and have tray
eled thousands Of miles.
It has been found that bottles
dropped overheard between the shores
of the United States and England or
France usually travel toward the
northeast, following the course of that
great river in the Atlantic ocean, the
gulf stream. Bottles started OF the
coasts of Spain and Africa travel, as
a rule, westward until they arrive
among the West India islands. Along
the European side of the the
bottle takes a southerly course and
along the American side a northerly
course.
