In regard to your editorial on the

belief that perhaps Germany was

a necessary diminishing of her fighting
strength. that nations fleet engages
the English fleet in the North sea and,
while not dealing crushing blow to
the British sea power, did carry off the

time the Teutonic powers renewed
activities on the Russian front and in

Los Business system.

Old settlers will tell you that the
indians broke the first ground for
wheat growing purposes in the spring
of 1881. The Indians got their first
ideas OF settling on land and estab-
fishing permanent homes from asso-
citation with the cowboys. Members
of the tribe. including Pocatello Tom,
China Eye and Big Tipped Pete, broke
some ground and seeded a few acres
of wheat.
When the wheat was harvested and
"threshed" in primitive Indian fash
ion. the growers began to market tho
grain. The native wheat king would
deliver wheat to American Falls, or
elsewhere I'm the vicinity, for so cents
a bushel II the customer went after
the grain the price was one dollar a
bushel When questioned as to the
meaning of their singular business
methods the Indians would invariably
reply: you come TO my wickiup, You
heap want 'um. Me come TO your
wickiup, maybe so you don't want 'um

ROAD :.
BUILDING
FIXING BAD SPOTS IN ROADS
Temporary Expedients for Making
Them Passable-Should Be EN-
ployed Only i'm Emergencies.

Q'rom Weekly News Letter. United States
Department OF Agricultural
Temporary repairs to roads are, OF
at least should be. confined to emer.
gency measures. In proportion TO the
results obtained, temporary work Ia al.
ways expensive and is never justified
by ordinary conditions. Unusual con.
ditions, however. often occur to plague
the road man. For example. the clos.
ing Of a main highway to traffic be-
cause OF construction, repair or wash.
outs may suddenly throw a heavy traf-
fic for short time on a little-used and
probably unimproved byway. Clearly,
In such case temporary expedients
are legitimate.
The most common troubles met with
in a case of this kind are mudholes
and ruts If the soil is heavy, and dust
and loose sand If the soil is light or
sandy.
On clay or gumbo road mudholes
usually cause the most trouble. As
water is absolutely necessary for the
existence of a mudhole, any treatment
whether temporary or permanent in
character, must provide for getting rid
OF the water. The first step is, there
fore, to dig trench to the side and
allow the water and mud to drain. II
necessary, open up also the side
bitches. Furthermore, remove all of
the soft mud left in the mudhole. The
bottom of the trench should be filled
with broken stone or coarse gravel so
as to provide drain to prevent any
further accumulation OF water. Gravel
is the best material fer filling the old
mudhole. II gravel is not available,
use the best earth at hand, tamping II
down in three or four-inch layers. II
possible, spread little gravel or sand
over the new fill, which should be
made slightly higher than the adjoin-
ing road surface. The best treatment
OF all, however, is to keep the drain
age in good condition. Serious mud
holes will then rarely develop.
Don't try to fill a mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
1t with large stones, because If this is
done there will soon be two mudholes
instead of one. Don't try to fill a mud
hole 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 a 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
liberal use OF the drag. a poor earth
road can be much improved and made
to carry surprisingly heavy traffic
for a short time.
In contrast to the clay or gumbo
road, the sand road gives least trouble

SAVING BEST FARM
AND GARDEN SEEDS
Doubtful Stock Should Be Dis
carded When Best Can Be
Procured Without Trouble.

Corn for next springs planting
should be stored on the cob where it
will keep dry and free from vermin.
1t keeps best on the cob, and spread
out on the floor OF granary. Sugar
corn may be braided and the ears
hung up in the granary. Oats and
barley for seed should be run through
the mill to blow out all the light
grains and foul weed seeds. Only the
heaviest grain should be sowed; light,
chaffy grain is not worth sowing, as
the grain lacks vitality.
Early seed potatoes keep best stored
in narrow pits dug upon high, dry
ground. Practical growers make the
pits 20 inches deep and one foot in
width. This trench is filed with pota-
toes level full and covered with six
teen to twenty inches of earth, well
packed down. A six-inch furrow is
plowed few feet out from the pits to
carry off the surface water Potatoes
pitted by this method will keep sound
and firm of flesh and will have we'll
developed eyes.
Burn up all the old vegetable seeds
and buy a new stock from a reliable
scotsman. Our present postage laws
bring a seed store to every mans door,
and he has no excuse for planting seed
that are most too good to throw away,
but not quite good enough for plant
ing. Doubtful seeds will not pay when
good ones can be had at moderate
prices.

(By e. F. WHITE, Mississippi Agricul-
tural College)
At this season of the year an ex.
traordinarily large number OF young or.
chards are being planted throughout
the southern states.
All these young orchards should be
headed back right now.
Truly a stitch in time saves nine in
this heading back operation, for ii
will save many cuts later on in the
life OF the tree.
Peach and plum trees should be
headed back to single stem IL to Is
inches above the ground.
Apple and pear trees should be
headed back to Is to "a inches from
the ground.
Care should be taken to make sure
that six to eight healthy buds are
left below the heading back cut, for
the best of these will be the future
major limbs of the tree.
There are five reasons for having
the trees close to the ground instead
OF trimming them up" skyward,
where only an agile climber armed

them of their fruits. These reasons
are:
1. Low headed trees are more cas-
lily pruned.
2. Low headed trees are more cas-
lily sprayed
8. Low headed trees are more cas-.
lily picked.
4. Low headed trees have fewer
wind-fallen fruits from high winds.
8. Low headed trees shade the
trunk OF the tree against sun scald.
If two-year-old trees are planted
they should not be headed back to a
single stem, but their limbs should be
cut back one-half.
Besides the five energy-conserving
reasons for heading fruit trees low,
there is still another very important
reason. 1t conserves ones religion.

MS. You can marry that young scoun-
drel, or you can remain at home, in
stead OF bringing your fathers gray
hairs in sorrow to his grave"
Amy began to weep. She left the
room and thought her problem out.
And 1t seemed to her that her first
duty was to her father. Roger and
she we're both young; she was an only
child, and her father loved her in his
way. He had had hard life until
late years. There had always been
unfuifilled hopes which had tormented
him. He had lived a narrow, straight
cut life. He had made bitter sacrifices

Roger, telling him that their engage
ment must be postponed until she was
able to bring her father to reason and
discover where the trouble lay.
But she pinned all that summer, and.
once or twice, meeting Roger in the
street, she was hardly able to resist
his entreaties that she consent to an
eiopement Her father, too, was grow
ing stranger than ever.
At last Roger called at the house
again. He went straight into Mr.. Ban

during wet weather. On sandy roads
anything that will prevent the free
movement of the sand particles will
be OF value. AS long as the road is
damp, the surface tension OF the capil-
larry water acts as binder and holds
the separate grains OF sand in place
All efforts should, therefore, be direct
ed toward preventing the sandy places
from drying out, or to adding some
binder. The addition of clay furnishes
a positive binder and is really the best
and most permanent treatment The
addition Of any fbrous material such
as straw, spent tan bark, sage brush
or pine needles is Of value and, when
spread on the read and covered with
thin coat of sand or allowed to work
into the surface. will make an almost
imIassable sand road fairly good for a
time. But the best way to treat a bad
place, whether on a clay or a sand
road, is to treat 1t before it gets bad.
Immediate attention to small injuries
Will prevent later prolonged attention
and extensive repairs to serious dam
ages.

The interview was naturally an en-
barrassing one, but Roger Lewis had
never had moments doubt of the
result. He was a young lawyer, with
good practice; his sntecedents were
irreproachable. And old Andrew Ban
mister was gentleman.
Roger was therefore hardly able to
believe his ears when old Andrew curt

gagement.
