Cash System Best

Going in debt is one of the causes of
the high cost of living in America,
hence the cash system is best.
The average American will buy any
thing he can 60 in debt for, while the
average foreigner in the United States
will buy absolutely nothing which he
cannot pay for at the time of purchase.
Comparatively few of US give much
thought to the advantages to be derived
from cash system of trading. "I've
got to have It" satisfies us when we
want something, no matter what. But
if we could not get it until the money
was forthcoming we would realize that
we did not really have to have it.
II the purchaser would borrow from
the bank and pay cash for his commo.
dities-if he must go in debt-he would
find great decrease in the expense ac-
count, and at the end of the year he
would, after paying interest to the bank
find balance on his side Of the ledger.
A local firm once had us print a card
which was placed in the envelope with
the monthly statement sent to debtors
which was as follows:
please help Bill! If you will prompt.
ly pay this bill, then can pay Bill the
bill | owe him; for Bill says he can't pay
his bills until he hears from me-"
There is the whole thing in a nut.
shell, and proves beyond the shadow oi
doubt the truth of our statement

Roads on Business Basis

Road building in the United States is
now getting down to business basis.
Generalities are hardening into con-
crete facts-something tangible upon
which to base the cost Of the modern
road and the amount the construction
of such a road will save. Sufficient
evidence also has been accumulated to
prove beyond question that the old
type Of road will not meet new traffic
iditions.
Vim Transforming old roads into new,
two stages of engineering have devel-
oped. The first is what might be term
ed the mental engineering stage, or the
work OF bringing together and concen-
trating all previously conflicting forces
ideas of the state, county, or communi-
ty upon the one specific enterprise
the building of roads that will last.
Shifting the public mind around to a
point where the economy Of building
roads for permanence is thoroughly
understood, is now being done by first
ascertaining the amount of money that
has been sunk during a given period
Of years to maintain old types Of road
in passable condition. Against this
amount is set the first cost and upkeep
of concrete road, covering like per-
iod. The net result Of this comparison
shows that the permanent road costs
no more than the old road covering an
equal number Of years, with this diff
ference. The permanent road is still
in good condition and usable every day
in the year after it has been paid for,
while excessive repair expenditures
must continue, in the future as in the
past, on the old type roads. These
points are familiar to visitors at the
Cement Show but they will bear re.
peating.

 The best sized eggs are produced by the regular layers while the spasTnodic producer usually has an assortment of sizes.
 As the hen increases her record for 2 given perio.- the egg becomes smaller and, in the case of brown egg layers the color becomes lighter toward the last.
 The bulk of the laying is done be- tween nine o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in tEe afternoon.

FACTS ABOUT GEESE.
Items That Are We'll Worth Rerena-
 hering By All Raisers.

The goose should be chosen for her weight of body, steadiness of deport- ment and breadth of foot-a quality which indicates the presence of other excellences. In one season the goose usually lays from ten to twenty eggs. and, should she not be desired to sit by removing the eggs as fast as she lays them and at the same time feed- ing her highly, she may be induced to continue laying to the number of forty-f1ve or even fifty. This is. how ever. unusual as well as unprofitable.
 When toleraOly well looked after, geese may be made to lay, and even hatch, three times in a year. When this is desired, the plan to pursue is to feed them highly, house them well. and set them early in the spring so as to have the first brood early in March; but it would be better to have two good clutches reared than three bad ones
 The beginning of the goose's laying may be known by noticing her run ming from one place to another. carry ing straws in her mouth. This is done for the purpose of forming a nest. at which time she should be where they cannot readily be found. When a goose lays her first egg in any particular nest, no further trouble need be feared, for she will continue to lay in that spot and will not be likely to stray elsewhere.
 
 possible, as they need plenty of room to walk about. While it is not strict ly necessary to have a pond or other water for them to swim in, bathing is very beneficial in keeping them clean and in affording exercise to prevent overwhelming. When geese are within range of water and are suffered to roam at large, they usually discover | it and daily resort to it afterward. But notwithstanding their fondness for water their sleeping places must be kept dry.
 Geese are grazers. and grass is as necessary to them as water: the rankest coarset grass, such as the cattle would reject, seems to be their choice. They are partial to such grasses as are found on swampy lands of which. perhaps. no mort profitable use could be made. They likewise enjoy a range in the stuhble-f field where they can find young grass and herbage springing up amongst the stubble, and where considerable corn can be picked up that otherwise would be lost
 Geese are naturally hardy and not subject to disease.

or away and the bean weevils come forth from their cells. These mate and each female lays about fifty eggs loosely among the beans. The eggs grubs chew their way into the dried beans and the life cycle is repeated.
 The bean weeyil will continue to breed in dried beans. if the tenpera- ture is suitable, until all of it's food is exhausted and the beans are entirely destroyed. I have found as many as
 Eenty- nine holes in bean showing that twenty. nine Weevils had found enough food in that one bean to com plete their growth. These weeviis will not breed in cold temperatures but where the beans are stored in warm atticS or rooms they continue their work of destruction throughout
 the winter
 Infested Sbeans should not be plant ed. The infestation may in this way
 be carried to the field Infested beans will not. produce healthy productive plants.
 The usual method advised for con trolling the bean weeyii in stosad
 beans is to fumigate the beans with carbon bisulphid- This should be done in the fall soon after the harvest so as to kill the weevils before. they have accomplished much injury. Any one wishing to fuInigate his beans should secure special directions The bean weevil may be killed by dry heat without injuring the germi.- i ating qualities of the beans. Al stages of the insect are Killed if sub jected to. a temperature of 13o degrees for half an hour, but in treating quantity Of beans the heat does not reach the center of the mass quickly so that a longer expoj1tre is necessary. The beans should be placed openly in
 shallow layers and subjected to a tenn perature of 130 or 14e degrees. which is about the temperature of a. warm oven, for an hour or more. If the beans are not to be used for plaintiff 2 | a higher temperature can be used with quicker results.
 During cold weather the work of the weeyiI can be stopped at once by storing the infested beans out of doors or in a cold barn or room.-J. A. Manter. Dept. of Entomology Com necticut Agricultural College

Can Be Destroyed By Fumisatins Beans With Carbon Bisuiphid.

It is very discouraging upon open ing a bag of beans in the winter to find them buggy The farmer fights insects and diseases all summer in order to secure a crop and when he has harvested and stored it away he usually feels that his troubles with these enemies are over. But this is not always so. Many products in storage are attacked by insects and diseases so that the farmer must keep constantly "on the 5ob-Y Beans are especially liable to be injured.
 The insects which causes buggy beans is the bean weevil, a small grey ish beetle about ono eighth of an inch long with head bent beneath resern- bling c broad snouf- During the sum mer tiny white eggs are laid inside the green pods either through siits or through holes chewed by the female. From these eggs smAlr white, six- legged grubs appear. These chew their way into the growing beans and then lose their legs as they have no further use for them. The grubs feed on the contents of the bean until they are an eighth of m inch or more in length The bezns may have been gathered by this time and stored away.
