buildings with respect To one another.
The subject Of interior ARRANGEMENT

OF consideration during recent years.

been obtained The development of
barn planning has gone hand in hand
with n" rapid development Of farm
building equipment. The aim Of the
entire movement has been To- provide
Increased facilities for handling the
work and AT the Ssmc time improve the
conditions under which live stock are
housed. OF course. the result must in

For Sore Throat.

Take two slices Of fat salt pork and
sprinkle with black pepper; put on II
flannel and bind on the throat for two
days; take it off and put clean flannel
on and wear for a few days. This is
very good. Use for gargle salt and
water or cooking soda with water.
Kerosene and sugar are good TO stop
a cough in the night. Make little flan-
mel bags about two inches square, FIJI

IMMENSE COST OF BAD ROADS
Farmers Allow 100000, 900 to Escgoe
Each Year Because Of Poor and
Unimproved Highways.

The farmers Of the United State
have been allowed S3OO,OOO,OOO In rel
money TO escape from their pockets
each year because of poor roads, nc.
cording to the testimony Of exports
who made a survey of the effect OF
bad roads upon markets for the de-
partmcnt Of agriculture. Just wi.n
the farmer has the opportunity TO mar
ket his crops at top prices, bad wealth
er closes the roads to heavy hauling
and he must wait until another season.
To the loss of the farmers must be
added an economic loss equally largo
suffered by the nation. If the rural
roads could be used for traffic the year
round, Uncle Sam would save more
than half a billion dollars. This is n
typical bad-road blockade which exists |

to note that the principles emphasized
In this report as essential to the sue
cess of convict road work are the same
as those the committee has consid-
cred imperative. These principles are
that when county convicts are to be
employed on the roads they should be
turned over to the state convict road
force, all convict road work being I'M
der state control.
The second principle is that there
should be coordination between the
state prison and the state highway de-
partments in regard to convict road
work. The prison department should
select the prisoners for this work, and
make all rules regarding their care
and discipline. This department should
also supervise the carrying out Of
these rules. The highway department
should have full charge of all road
operations, and be responsible for car
rying out the rules and regulations
made by the prison department. 4
The report takes up in detail the Sc
lection of camp officers, and the keep
ing Of records and accounts, includ-
ing suggestions for order slips and
vouchers.
Other features Of the report which
will be specially valuable to auth0Ti-
ties carrying on convict road work
deal with the location Of a camp site.
water supply, camp sanitation, quar-
tiers and structures, health conditions
and care of the sick and injured, cloth
Ing and ratiOns. All are discussed sci
entifcally and practical suggestions
are made which can be followed out
in any part Of the country.
The department of agriculture has
rendered service TO prison and road
while private citizens have
now available standards by which to
Judge the convict camps in their vicin-
lty. The year 1917 should be record
one for convict road work if local aus
thorities use to good advantage the as
sistance afforded them by the depart
ment of agriculture through the office |
Of public roads and rural engineering.
