of the matter. The fact is that just
above these seepy places where the
ruts are, there is a vein Of hard clay
coming out, which the water cannot
readily penetrate. Hence 1t comes out
under the roadbed, just as a slough
comes out on the side Of HILL.
The remedy for this is tile drainage,
and the drain should not be located
in the seepy place, but above it, so as
to intercept the water that makes the
seep. Just on the same principle that
in draining a slough with many
branches and prongs, the work is done
best by thing around the prongs and
into the slough below at the lowest of
them, instead Of in the middle OF 1t.
For whenever water gets into slough,
the damage is done. The point is to
keep it from getting in.
A little attention to this, together
with dragging the road after every
rain, will give US fairly good roads
dirt roads without any hard surfacing
for nine or ten months in the year
Of course, when these seepy places
are drained, they must have a ditch
into which the water can run.
Permit us to repeat once more
statement we have been making ever
since we made our first address on
good roads, 80 years age: that wa
ter uncontrolled is the cause of bad
roads; that there are two kinds OF
water, so to speak; the under water
and the upper water. The under water
Is that which comes in under the road
bed; and the upper-water what comes
on it from above or flows in from the
sides. The way to get rid Of the first
Is through drainage; particularly in
these seepy places. The way to con
troll the second is by grading and then
dragging, to put an enamel on the sur
face of the road.-Wallace's Farmer.

FLAVORING OF HIGH VALUE
Cook Who Is ProdigaI in the Use OF
Celery Will Find She Has
Made No Mistake.

Celery should be used as frequently
as possible, not only because of it's
delicious flavor, but because it is one
of the few vegetables possessing so
many highly valuable chemical salts.
Indeed, it has been declared very
often that celery has direct curative
properties for the nervous, rheumatic
or neuralgia person. Incidentally,
there is practically no waste to celery
every bit of it can be used.
Of course, we know best the use Of
the delicate inside stalks, for salads
and filings. But the outside stalks,
even though not perfect enough in APP
pearance for service in the raw, should
not be neglected, but stewed or used
in the making of soup. The trimmings,
too, leaves, imperfect stalks, can be
added to broths, soups, or used to help
flavor other dishes. The addition OF
little chopped celery to any kind OF
meat or vegetable dish is sure to i'm
prove its flavor.
If celery is not used Immediately, 1t
should be wrapped in paper and kept
in cool place. and it will then remain
in perfect condition for many days.
Two cupfuls of chestnuts, two cup
fuls of celery, four cupfuls Of milk,
two tablespoonfuls of butter. Small
onion, carrot, salt, four cloves.
Chop the celery, onion and carrot
and brown in butter, add milk and
cloves and allow to stew for about one
hour.
Blanch chestnuts and boil ten min
utes. Drain and stew for half an hour
in one-half of the celery liquor that
has been stewing. Then press through
a colander and pour into the remain
ing celery-and-milk mixture and COOK
for ten minutes. Serve hot and, if de-
sired, garnish with few whole-cooked
chestnuts.

DELICIOUS DISHES OF RICE
Five Suggestions for Those Who Are
Fond of the Cheap and Appe-
tzing Cereal.

To Boil Rice.-Pick over one cupful
Of rice, wash In two waters, drop IN
one quart of boiled sailed water, cook
slowly on back of stove. Never stir,
and when done each kernel will stand
alone. Pour into colander and set on
coolest part of stove. 1t should be
boiled in an open stewpan. One table
spoonful of lemon juice added to water
in which rice is boiling makes it very
white and keeps kernels separate,
Rice OmeIet.-Beat one cupful boiled
rice and two cupfuls of milk in a
smooth paste. Add two eggs well beat
en-, salt and pepper. Fry until brown,
cover with powdered sugar and serve
ut once.
Rice Croquettes.-Put over fire in
double boiler one pint Of milk and one
half cupful of washed rice. Cook till
thick, add the yolks of two eggs, one
half teaspoonful Of salt and two table
spoonfuls of sugar. Remove from fire,
beat till smooth, add one-half teaspoon
full vanilla, Il bay lear Dolled IN rice
and milk removed as soon as slight
flavor is given to add to daintiness Of
seasoning. Spread all on a fiat dish
and when cold form into cone shape.
Dip in egg, then in crumbs and cook in
boiling fat. This makes II croquettes.
Rice Bread.-One tumbler rice flour,
one and one-half gills of milk, one egg,
two teaspoonfuls butter, one table
spoonful cooked hominy, the white of
one egg beaten separately and added
last. Bake three-quarters of an hour.
Rice Cornbread.-One pint boiled
rice, one pint cornmeal, one DESSERT
spoonful lard, one pint sour milk, two
eggs beaten well.

RUTTYI SPOTS IN 4 RoADBED
Uncontrolled Water Is eauss OF Many
Bad Roads-Drainage Is Recon-
mended as Remedy.

We have been quite interested lately
in travelling over roads in central Iowa
at a time when we did not expect
them to be at all good, to find that
where they were dragged the going
was quite good; and where not
dragged, quite rough. But even where
good, there were spots in the roadbed
that were rutty. Now, what is the
cause of these ruts every mile or two
of good, fairly we'll dragged roads?
Nothins but water uncontrolled. These
are seepy places. Filling up the ruts
by dragging does not prevent the trou-
Bile. The drag does not reach the root
