 There is quite a cry for every man to plant all that he can and President Wilson in his appeal to the people Of America asks that everybody help, he also asks that the merchants be satisfied with a reasonable profit and quick sales, but seemingly some of our merchants do not know or do not care to help In the great cause for it is almost impossible for a poor man to pay the prices asked for seed corn etc.

WHY FAMILY MOVED TO TOWN
Compelled to Make Change Because OF
Poor Schools and Bad Roads-
Remedy for Poverty.

"Why don't they 60 on to a farm"
is the question with which many men
dismiss from their minds the story OF
some poverty-stricken family. the
chances are five to one that that same
family was induced to move to town
because of poor schools and poor roads
in the country. The remedy for much
Of the poverty now In our towns Is
good roads and good schools In the
country. Why should not country
schools be given the same attention
given city and town schools? Why
should not the children be permitted to
go to them over good roads with dry
feet, instead of wading through mud
and water? Good roads will make the
country a better place in which to live.

tionate animals and are usually grati-
fed to do the will Of their master. If
possible, an animal should be broken
to mind without fear of punishment.
In breaking dogs to handle stock it is
q great advantage to have stock that
is used to being driven by dog, upon
which to break the puppy. Stock that
is not used to a dog is often easily
frightened, or it may fight the dog. 1t
is an excellent plan to have an older
and well-broken dog to assist in the
training, as dogs are initiative. The
puppy quickly learns what is wanted
by association with the older dog. In
training dogs avoid shouting. 1t is as
easy to teach them to mind single
word or a whistle, and much more sat
isfactory, and remember that much
more can be accomplished by kind
ness than harshness.

NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Expert at National Capital Illustrates
How Scheme Is to Be Brought
to Successful End.

The establishment Of national sys-
tenn Of highways Is greatly facilitated
by the federal aid road law, which
compels all the states that would share
In its benefts-and that means all OF
the states-to equip themselves with
state highway departments. With these
state highway departments devotlng
their attention to the building Of state
systems of main, through-line high
ways, every condition is favorable for
the next and crowning act-the esta0-
lishment Of national system Of high
ways.
BY way Of illustrating how na-
tional system of highways is about to
be evolved by easy and logical stages
an expert at the national capital made
the following statement:
"Gradually the state has made itself
a compelling factor in the handling OF
local road problems and, as logical
sequence, the federal government, first
through educational activity and later
by the financial aid provided by the
federal aid law, has made itself a
powerful factor in the working out OF
the state highway problems. The next
logical step follows the same course
which has been pursued by the state
governments, namely, the broadening
Of federal participation to provide for
the establishment Of q system Of ma
tional highways.
"This policy can be put into effect
without disturbance of existing organ
izations, without providing new means
of finance and with but little change
in existing laws. The process would
logically take a course somewhat as
follows:
81. The state highway departments
and the federal office Of public roads
would make an initial selection from
existing state highway systems OF
those highways which are of interstate
Importance.
"2. A system thus selected would be
approved by congress, with the re-
quirement that federal funds be ap-
piled only to such system on and after
q specified date.
"3. The federal aid should be ex-
tended to maintenance as well as con-
struction, as the national system OF
highways should have for all time a
close relationship with the federal gov
ernment.
"Some of the states already have
made plans for utilizing the aid grant
ed by the federal aid road act on roads
which could not properly be included
in a national system. But this need

RIGHT WAY TO CATCH SHEEP
Take Animal Either by Hind Leg or
Put Hand Under JaW-NeVer
Grab it by Its Wool.

An experienced sheep breeder and
flock master says never catch q sheep
by the wool. This causes the animal
unnecessary pain. But this is not all.
When you catch the sheep b7 the wool
YOU are likely to pull out the wool,
thus leaving bruised place in the
flesh of the animal. If the sheep is to
be sold for mutton the flesh will show
this bruised condition.
The proper way to catch sheep is
to take it either by the hind leg just
above the gambrel point or by putting
the hand underneath the lower jaw
or neck. In using crook it is impor'
tant that the sheep are not caught be-
low the gambrel joint, as injury to the
leg is liable to result from this.

LEGS ARE UNPOPULAR
Breeders of Shires Have Continued to
Breed Horses They Favored,
! Regardless of Buyers.

Judging from letters which have ap-
peared in the London Live Stock Jour-
nal some breeders Of Shire horses are
in favor Of discarding the hair or the
Feather" on the legs Of this breed.
These "reformers" are doubtless in
the minority, but it would be well for
the export trade in Shires If they
could bring about such a change.
Many persons in this country recog-
nize the merits of Shire horses but
don't like their hairy legs. If English
breeders had bred the hair off instead

HANDLING STOCK With DOGS
WeIl-Trained Collie Is Unfaillng
Source of Help and Satisfaction
Teach Him to Mind.

Upon farms where stock is kept, q
well-broke collie dog is an unfailing
source of help and satisfaction, while
an unbroken, unframed dog is a con-
tinual nuisance. In handling stock
with dog, it is important that the dog
be well trained, ald that great care
be exercised while the animals are get
ting used to being managed by him.
When these two conditions are fulfilled
it is surprising how easily and eco
nomically stock can be taken care of.
The first essential in breaking a dog
for any purpose is to teach him to
mind. Dogs are intelligent and affec-

GRAIN FOR LITTLE PoRKERs
Placed in Creep Away From Mother
Makes Weaning Easy-Best Time
for Castration.

If the young pigs have been taught
to look for a little grain in creep
away from their mother, weaving will
be easy. With sweet skim milk as the
basis of their ration at this time their
growth need not be interrupted at all.
While still on the sow, and prefer
ably q couple Of weeks before wean-
ing, is the easiest time TO castrate the
Young boars. Cleanliness and not too
awkward handling in the operation are
all that are necessary at this time.
If the pigs are older when castrated
more skill is required and the shock is
much greater on the pig.

KENTUCKY SOLDIER is
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

I'll Paso, Tex, Jan. 13.--Licut-
Gibson Hale, of l. Company, Third
Kentucky Infantry, was accidental
ly shot through the temple and in
stantly killed late this evening while
seated in his tent at the regimental
amp near Ell Paso. A few moments
prior to tho accident, Lieut.. Hale
and some of the other officers of the
regiment had been inspecting shot
gun. the property OF Capt. Ben King,
of X Company, of the same regi.
ment.
One of the officers slipped ball
cartridge of service ammunition into
the chamber of the shotgun to ascer-
tain whether it would fit. TIL,
weapon was then laid aside and in
some manner was discharged, the
ball passing through Lieut.. Hale's
temple, killing him instantly. Capt.
King and Lieut.. Hale occupied ad-
joining tents and were warm friends.
Shortly before the accident they
had arranged for rabbit hunt and
the little shotgun was TO figure in
the hunt.
Lieut.. Hale comes from fine fam
lily in Southwestern Kentucky. His
home was at Murray and the body
will be sent there accompanied b.
an escort of officers. Lieut.. Hale
was in command of the detachment
OF l.. Company, which was recent
ly fired upon by Mexican snipers and
during that rather warm skirmish
acquitted himself creditably. He
was very popular with the men and
officers of the regiment.
Capt. King. whose home is ut
Greensboro, is greatly distressed over
the accident.
